It seems that Mr T is not a fan of soccer players diving, but when putting together a soccer team it is something that coaches want among their strikers, as well as great foot skills. Those three can kick plenty of goals in the AFL, and could be a formidable combination of a couple of big targets and a fast complimentary player that would work in soccer. If they kicked one goal per game they would be considered a superstar, and all of them could do that, although there might be some arguing between Lloyd and Fevola for who would take the penalty kicks.
Thomas is the midfielder who controls the ball and sets up the play. Solomon is the defensive stopper in the middle, accumulating red cards. The outside midfielders are the speedy Pearce and Wells.
Cornes and Fisher provide the height and mobility to play against many types of soccer forwards. Gilbee's foot skills should translate into soccer.
Putting Fletcher in the goalkeeper spot makes sense, with his height and long arms, and he has shown in the Irish games he can play there. Dean Cox, who is even taller than Fletcher, would also be someone to consider for that position.

He has the foot skills, and would probably get a lot of red cards as well as goals.
He could make this team based on his height, as a goalkeeper, and he did play the sport previously but as a striker a few years ago.
Expect Hampson to get a mention on one of the upcoming sporting teams for AFL players.
This team is made of players by looking at their AFL skills, and how they would translate. But if it was a team of players who also did play the other sport then Green would be there, probably in the midfield as someone distributing the ball to the strikers.
Maybe Brodie Holland and Didak off the bench when you need someone to take a dive.
Rocca to send one wide then claim it was a goal in a final.
