Don't see how you can go past Andrew McLeod or Gavin Wanganeen, and yet can't believe I'm not voting for Glenn Archer, or slightly more indulgently Jimmy Clement.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

McLeod and Archer,

 

[Jono]

McLeod and Archer.

Wanganeen is stiff obviously, but his record isn't that better than Archer's, and with McLeod in the team, I think we'd need a harder body than the rubber man.

 

[Johnners]

Seeing as Macleod/Wanganeen are basically certainties, I'm giving Chris Johnson my bias vote

 

[vic_orthdox]

McLeod and Archer.

Wanganeen is stiff obviously, but his record isn't that better than Archer's, and with McLeod in the team, I think we'd need a harder body than the rubber man.

Agree with Augustus Caesar.

 

[irfan]

Archer and Wanganeen personally. McLeod is obv brilliant as a dashing half-back but Wanganeen has the edge over him defensively and I'd rather him in an aerial contest against a small forward than McLeod.

 

[Hoggy31]

McLeod, and Archer just over McKay.

Surprised to see Kennelly had played so many games.
