Alphabet team

Post: # 1706964Post older saint »

Hi all, yes i am bored and like mucking around with past players and teams so came up with All Alphabet team. Based on surnames, best player with surname starting with that letter since say 1980

B: A Jones, Frawley,Peckett
HB: Young, Elphinstone, Voss
C: Cunningham, Dal Santo, Barker
HF: Schnieder, Riewoldt, Winmar
F: Milne, Lockett, Gehrig
Foll: Kosi, Harvey Thompson

Int: Armitage, Wolf, Newness, O.Brien
Emerg: Ingleton,

No Z, U or Q

The following letters were the toughest , often due to champions or what positions required. Left out includes:

B'- Burke, Baker, Blake, Burns, Ball
F - Fisher
E - Everitt
G- Goddard, D Grant, Gilbert, Gwilt
H - Hall, Hamill, Hayes, Hudghton,
J- Clint Jones
L - Loewe
M - Montagna, McAdam, Morwood
P - Pekin
R - Rice, Ray , Roberts
S - Shanahan Sarau, Sziller
W - D Wakelin, S Wakelin,

Just a bit of fun when bored.

Good effort older Saint. Maybe you could add McQualter and Zac Dawson as emergencies.

Our only Q was Frankie Quinn who played a game for us in 1920.
No Z's have played for us.

There’s no U or X either. And we’ve never had one. Maybe we could address these oversights in the draft.

It would be good if we could, Kosi. After all we are said to lack X factor.

"Oh shut up."

Clearly we need and alphabetical affirmative action policy to break through the discriminatory glass ceiling that limits the careers of players whose names start with weird letters.
We should make that our top recruitment policy - after of course we ensure we have a representation of LGBTQI players.

We basically need an LGBTQIQZUX affirmative action policy.

Well...drafting Mark Zanotti sounds like something we'd do.

Great stuff! Given there's no surname starting with X can you make an exception and include X Clarke? (I'd also have H7 for the D in the centre.)


Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.
