    Paul Kelly, Paul Williams, Wayne Schwass, Jude Bolton, Darryn Cresswell, Brett Kirk, Stuart Maxfield. Throw Jared Crouch, Adam Goodes, and Ryan O'Keefe through there, and I think that midfield, on paper at least thanks to their various stages of their career, was a better one. Yet we are by a long way advanced as a team, currently, compared to that one..
    Amazing to think that three of that team are still key contributors nearly 12 years later.

    Hawks have none left on the list (AFAICT).

      Arguably four, or maybe even five.

        Or arguably even six, as Jason Ball is on the board.

          1986-7?? Healy, Williams, Mitchell, Murphy, Wright???

          In saying that, I wouldn't want to take anything away from the current crop. They're right up there.

          But four of the five above made the team of the century....

            i suppose asking supporters from other clubs would help

            personally i think we have the deepest midfield rotation in the comp !

            brilliant !
