Another team of AFL footballers who are chosen, due to their size and the way they play sport, to fill a team from another sport. This time it is a CFL team, Canadian Football which is very similar to the NFL but with some changed rules, so imagine some of these AFL players with a few added kilograms.

Some big bodies are going to form the offensive line, and Hudson, Hawkins, Michael, M Brown and Minson should be able to protect the quarterback. A Everitt and J Riewoldt are athletes with some length who could run effective pass routes and bring in catches. The slotback position can be used to catch passes or as a blocker, Pendlebury would be another good target for the quarterback to pass to and Hunt could help block while also being someone for short yardage pass plays.

Daniel Connors and Campbell Brown sometimes seem to think that in AFL it is a good idea to put the ball under their arm and to try to run through people, in this CFL team that would be their primary role and they would be very good at it.

Cameron Bruce has height and mobility, and great awareness of what is happening on the sporting field, and he would be a solid quarterback.

Barry Hall is the nose tackle, which is probably a good spot for him. Dawes and Holland bring in some big bodies while McLean and Carr have the tenacity to break through the offensive line and hurt the quarterback.

Collier, Stenglein and Maxwell could all have the ability in CFL football to cover on passing plays and to tackle on running plays.

Mackie and Bower have AFL key position height but are more of a running type of player, that may not be the best news for their AFL teams as they may never become a conventional centre half back, but they might be good cornerbacks for this CFL team. Thorp and Johnson would be more help in the secondary, and Thorp might be a good player to blitz with too.

Stuart Dew has a big and accurate kick, and he is a good kick coming on an angle towards the goal, so he should be able to consistently hit field goals. Bradley can hold the ball for him, so maybe a position that suits him has actually been found on a football field. Fletcher can kick long punts, on the longer than NFL field of the CFL. Hooper would be someone to run back the kick returns, and with twelve big guys trying to tackle them the kick returner really needs to run fast.
