No Luke Covell? No Tweedle? No Scott?

 

[beekershark]

Noddy.....................................?

 

[fatshark]

That team would of won a few comps...

 

[Nullajet]

Kimmorley?????????? Absolute insult to some sharks who have actually contributed to some resemblence of success!!!!

this is not based on pay packets, surely??? piss noddy off out of there....Id throw in Treister ahead of him any day!!!!!!! Or Docking!

 

[Nullajet]

actually Paul Green and Mitch Healey must be miffed by that Kimmorley inclusion!!!!!! i sure as hell am

 

[Coastal Shark]

f*ck me, is there no end to the f*cking gnome virus.

 

[Inferno]

Noddy? there goes any credibility that team could have had.

 

[Alan Shore]

Turner over McMartin?

 

[Quigs]

Turner blossomed under the guidance of one Sir Thomas Bishop. Slippery Arms McMartin was regarded by his peers as the number one.... a consumate craftsman.

I think I would of gone with Mc.

I would of preferred Les Bundy over the christian, simply for the biffo, and speaking of biffo where's Kurt

Gee it is hard to leave him out, just on his tackling skills alone

what are you thoughts on Greg Pierce as lock Quigs?

I never saw him play but he must of been pretty damn good to get rated ahead of T.

 

[Nullajet]

The more i think about that team.the more it pisses me off!!

In 40 years you can not be serious putting Noddy in the dream team....FFS....it is a MASSIVE insult to blokes who have provided this club with sooooooo much more. Who ever had an input to him being there should be ashamed of themselves!!!!

When will the noddy jokes end??? Pretty soon he'll have a damn stand named after him at the ground!

what a crock....

 

[Fuddy]

My sources tell me that McMartin/Turner was the closest run thing in the team itself. Both great players but Turnet got the edge.

Greg Pierce is a Kangaroo and one hell of a player - the difficulty would have been Dane over Hatch and Davo on the bench. Dane's 10-11 straight years (and being an International) may have got him the nod.

The one many youngens may not know is Wellman - he was tough and talented - Healey is one of my club heroes but Wellman certainly deserves the position.

Sources say the Noddy decision was unanimous - struggled this year but almost got us to a comp a couple of years ago - he hasn't been the same footballer for the last 12 months though.

 

[Quigs]

Maddog Wellman was - Maddog Wellman....

He was a very gifted footballer who finished his career with West Magpies after he left the Sharks... He was one of those "which wall do you want me to run through coach" type players. And he was bloody tenacious. Mad as acut snake.

Greg Pierce was our first ever player to Captain his country.

He blossomed also under the guidance of Sir Thomas... and was well respected by not only his own players but all of the league.

His nickname was "Skipper" if my memory serves me right.

He was an original blond headed surfie type that wore his faded black footie shorts onto the field early on in his career.

He went on to coach us after a guy named Raper had a stint at the helm many years ago. I believe he ended up as popular as you know who. Only speculation here but I remember hearing some doosey stories doing the rounds.

I guess for the youngens to know what type of a bloke Greg Pierce was / is, is to hear of his recent gesture to the late Rick Burke at the fundraiser held at the club some months prior to Ricks sad death.

He is a real good bloke .... not enough of them in the game today.

hmm cheers Quigs. Wasn't sure if he was picked over others more deserving due to his current position or actually deserved his spot. Sounds like he deserved it which is good to hear.

I might have to start looking into a few more of those guys who played a little before my time.
