Last 22 Brownlow Medal Winners, As A Team
FB : Gavin Wanganeen, James Hird, Paul Couch
HB : Mark Ricciuto, Adam Goodes, Ben Cousins
C : Chris Judd, Greg Williams, Simon Black
HF : Jason Akermanis, Nathan Buckley, Paul Kelly
FF : John Platten, Tony Lockett, Jim Stynes
Foll : Scott Wynd, Michael Voss, Robert Harvey
Bench: Shane Woewodin, Tony Liberatore, Gerard Healy, Shane Crawford
It is not the easiest task, due to all the small onballers, but here is what a team would look like if made up of the recent Brownlow Medal winners.
As Hird plays for Sheedy, he has played every spot, and is the only real option for fullback. Lockett obviously gets full forward, although there were no other contenders for that postion. Buckley as a mobile center half forward can work, and Goodes can play anywhere and as he is the last key position player to choose from he gets center half back.
The ruckmen Wynd and Stynes would be a great combination and with all the stars around them to use the ball it would be a tough team to stop.
This is a team that would win the contested ball, and then have players who can run with it. Marking options are not a strong point though. But kicking the ball to Lockett all the time is an effective strategy.
They would be competitive against a team of players, from the mid 1980s to today, who didn't win the Brownlow Medal but probably could not beat a team with Kernahan, Carey, Rehn, Dunstall, Ablett, Langford, Peter Matera and many others.
