Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
FJ is the only one that makes sense.
Agreed.Hussey fits somewhere in between the eras maybe, but I'd have him in either team
Labuschagne's massively overrated and really should be dropped on current form. .
Agree with Damo.Line both teams up and very few of the current team individually would be picked. The Warne/McGrath era was both a champion team and littered with individual batting and bowling greats. The current team has a few stars (esp. bowlers) but is more a champion team that just knows how to win the key moments of games. Similar to 2017 Richmond in some ways. Early 2000s vs 2023Langer Warner ........ close. Could have either. Langer complimented Hayden.Hayden Khawaja ........ HaydenPonting Labuschagne ... PontingM.Waugh Smith .............. SmithS.Waugh Head ................ Steve WaughMartyn Marsh ............... different players. Martyn bat avg 46 underrated. Marsh an all-rounder. Gone with Martyn.Gilchrist Carey ............... GilchristWarne Lyon ................ Warne. Lee Starc ............... close. Starc with the slightly better record and longevity.Gillespie Cummins ........... CumminsMcGrath Hazlewood .......... McGrath

McGrathI’d pick McGrath, Cummins, Hazlewood/Gillespie With the batting, I’d take Langer over WarnerAnd I reckon the only one in question is Labuschagne could take the Martyn spot possibly .. the other four bats are obvious walk ups
