Really hard to do one of these because i haven't seen anyone play prior to mid '60.
But i'll give it a burl later and base it from mid '60s onwards if that's okay

It would be slim pickings if only 2001 to 2004 LT.
Without even having to think, here's a couple to help your list along PS.

FB: Gaspar - AA 2001
CHB: Holland - excellent in 2001
HBF: Cameron - excellent in 2001
Ruck: Ottens - excellent in 2001
Wing: Johnson

Campbell and Brown could slot into any of several positions.

I agree. (sort of)
If you can only choose from the 21st century then the team would unfortunately be mostly the 2001 side. :-[
It's definitely a joke but I dont find it particularly funny.
I much prefer the last 100 years being the century to choose from.

Can i ask why people rate Stewart ahead of Barrot?  I know Stewart won 3 Brownlows, but at his time at Richmond i don't think he surpassed the deeds of Billy, even though he won a Brownlow.  Billy was a superstar in his own right.  BOG in '67 Grand Final etc etc.

Now Billy is my favourite player of all time at RFC so i'm very biased lol, but I'd like your views on why you chose Stewart ahead of him if you did.

It was toughy and I guess you're expected in these things to only go on what they did a Richmond but I went for Stewart based on him arguably being the better footballer. To achieve greatness at two different VFL/AFL clubs is a mighty achievement. Add to that 2 flags, 3 brownlows, B&F at two different clubs and Richmond, St Kilda and Tassie team of the century member. Also the fact that the Club swapped Barrot for Stewart and was vindicated came into mind.

I went for Stewart and put Barrot on the interchange bench as I thought He would be a better fill in around the ground
