It would be irrelevant.
He would be ineligible to play due to not being a listed St Kilda player.
He would not be able to be paid because of the salary cap.

If we are talking only 2004 vintage mine in order are:
Hamill, Gehrig, Max, The Master (Harves), Ball, Powell, Thompson.
The Master, while effective, would provide less benefit to the 2010 team than the 2004 key forwards and key backs.
I agree with Dan Warna about the protection players. With the 2010 Roo back in the side the order would be:
Max, Ball, Harves, Powell.
Yep Zac will never be Max of 2004.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Gherig was a monster in full flight. He would be good to have around ATM.
He could go missing remember. Was godly amongst Thomas' flat track bullies.
Hamill would be fkn awesome now with Roo in full flight.
I reckon he would have loved the forward pressure side of our plan.

Plenty of good guys to pick from, sentimental favourites (Harvey), quality players (Ball, Jones, Black, Penny).
Surely the answer needs to be one of Gehrig or Hammill though - for all the inexplicable hand wringing over our backline, we're once again the hardest team in the league to score against. We're only let down by an inability to convert ball control into goals scored, with anemic marks inside 50 totals the obvious culprit.
I'd be hard pressed to decide between the two: Gehrig fits the mould of what we need best, but Hammill circa 03/04 was simply a force. Marking tackling, taking on two tacklers at a time and getting through... at a time when we were a young and pretty soft team, he was the enforcer. One suspects he'd fit the current model hand in glove.

Adding someone youneed to look at what we lack or where it would improve us.
Max would ot improve us as with our current style it does not suit our game and we still have the best defence in the league. I love Max's work but he would not add as much as most.
Hamill would be my tip as he provides a 3rd marking forward which we have lacked for some time. He would also increase our forward pressure and would thrive under this system.
Gehig in top form obviously would be good. How would he go having to chase etc? and Kosi would then be either back up ruck floating forward or we would be too top heavy.
Harvey a champion mid who would always get a game anywhere and obviosuly make us better.
Powell - great point earlier a real grunt work player for us, did all the hard stuff.
On the basis of who would add the greatest amount :
Hamill
Harvey
Gehrig
Powell
Max
Top 5

Agreed... as far as current structural needs go you'd be hard pressed to go past Gehrig... but Hamill is possibly the fiercest competitor I've ever seen, and one of my all time favourite players!bigcarl wrote:hamill was a terrific, tough competitor ... but who was going to kick you a winning score?markp wrote:Hamill... but I can understand why many are saying the G-train.
We'd probably be 10-1 now with him in the side.
