The All-Cat All-Australian Team
There are 9 Geelong players in the best 22 for the AFL, and supposedly no Collingwood players who deserved a mention in the top 40. Yet the Magpies are going to be a big chance when the two teams meet for a spot in the 2007 AFL Grand Final.
Port Adelaide have some of their midfield stars in the team, with Lade joined by the Cornes brothers. Lade would have just got the spot on the All-Australian bench in front of the Kangaroos' McIntosh. Brent Harvey did make this team.
FB: Matthew Scarlett (Geelong), Darren Glass (West Coast), Darren Milburn (Geelong)
HB: Andrew McLeod (Adelaide, captain), Matthew Egan (Geelong), Campbell Brown (Hawthorn)
C: Kane Cornes (Port Adelaide), Jimmy Bartel (Geelong), Chad Cornes (Port Adelaide)
HF: Steve Johnson (Geelong), Jonathan Brown (Brisbane Lions, vice-captain), Brent Harvey (Kangaroos)
FF: Brad Johnson (West Bulldogs), Matthew Pavlich (Fremantle), Cameron Mooney (Geelong)
Foll: Dean Cox (West Coast), Daniel Kerr (West Coast), Gary Ablett (Geelong)
bench: Brendon Lade (Port Adelaide), Dustin Fletcher (Essendon), Joel Corey (Geelong), Cameron Ling (Geelong)
