Foreign Legion interchange has some worries.

Ok, footy fans ... if there are any obvious omissions or changes, please advise.
I'd love some feedback.
I had earlier put Robert Dean in the Home-grown champions but of course he had many years at Collingwood.
Also, I forgot to put Mark Bayes in the Home-grown team.
How could I do that???

He was a champion for many years, a regular Victorian rep and won the best and fairest in 1989.
Maybe he should be in the back pocket instead of Leo Barry.
Also I left out Ricky Quade ... what a champion he was!
He was one of the few players I ever remember scoring 10 out of 10 in the old SunScore ratings many years ago.
Graham Teasdale also scored a perfect 10 for a stunning game against Fitzroy.
I have also added a few Carlton hacks in the Foreign Legion team just to please the Infidels.
So check the teams and get back to me if I have missed anyone!
Go Swans!!!

You've done a great job. My memory only extends back to the mid-80s so can't comment on a few names here.

I'd have Bayes, Crouch and Lewis in the starting 18 ahead of Browning, Ackerley and J Bolton (at this stage of his career). But that's just quibbling really.

Another quibble is that Cresswell was first drafted by Geelong, but on balance I reckon it's fair enough to put him in home grown.

The qudos actually goes to my brother.

Thanks for the feedback Y.B.
It takes a bit on concentration to get through, I know.

Thanks for the feedback.
Re: Daryn Cresswell and a few others ... I put them in the Home-Grown champs because they did not actually a senior game with the clubs they were drafted by.
I think even Andrew Dunkley was drafted by St Kilda (no senior games) and I have a recollection that Troy Luff was drafted by Footscray (again no senior games).
That was my criteria for including them in the Home-Grown team.
Thanks again and let's hope the Foreign Legion and Home-Grown champs kick ass on Saturday.
Go Bloods! Go Swans!
