In a very close race it's Braddy Johnson on a wing or up forward.

Chris Grant, plays CHB or interceptor if we want to go with three talls.
Super football brain, field kicking is outstanding let alone for a big guy.
Left field choice - Minson in his AA year, absolute monster who our mids would love playing with.

Re: You get to pick....
As a forum we seem to have identified 3 key holes in our list - elite defender, elite two-way wing, elite small forward.
If it was a defender, I would choose Lake as I remember his impact most strongly.
If it was a wing, I would choose Griffen (BLASPHEMY!! NETS!!).
If it was a small forward, it would be Akermanis.
But the one player from the history of the club I would choose to have in the round 1 team, is a second Bontempelli.

Re: You get to pick....
To fix our current team I'd bring back Scott Wynd

Re: You get to pick....
I get Grant was a great player but is he what THIS team needs?
I doubt he's tall enough for BAD either

Re: You get to pick....
All nice players nominated but we have too much nice in the current team. Give me Morris or Picken or Easton, Matty Boyd or Foster even Danny Southern. The team needs some steel.

Damn. He would be amazing if set to play on the mid/small forwards

Re: You get to pick....
Yeah after a lot of thought I think Chris Grant. CHB. A big solid presence with genuine gravitas and leadership by example.

Re: You get to pick....
In a team that lacks some leadership and a hard edge I agree with Doc that we need to overlook the star players and bring in a Matt Boyd or Jose Romero. We have enough talented players and we now need some hard arses.

Re: You get to pick....
Grant to CHF so we can send Naughton back into defence where he truly belongs
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Point of order, 292 games, 3 time all Australian, 3 time Sutton medalist, Captain and premiership player Matthew Boyd was a star.

Yep, you look at that record and he really is one of the most underrated and under appreciated Dogs of all time.

Fair point but I am guilty of taking him for granted but I never did truly regard him as elite.

Re: You get to pick....
What about players from other sides as per the OP?
We are looking at current needs so someone like an Eddy Betts would be handy.

Grant walks into any team from any club that has ever taken the field. He was that good.
