So from this and other boards I've had the following names thrown up:

Yarran Jeff Garlett Harmes Doull Glascott De Iulio Marcou Fevola F Murphy Walker Cattogio Hall
As a big man Harry McKay

Players whom don't make the 100 game cut-off:
Naley Waddell Pearce Kenna Norman Angwin Hampson

Of course if we include pre-VFL players there are some flyers - flanker Jack King, wingmen H "Carbine" Simpson (aka the Carlton Flyer) and Bill "Carbine" Moloney (both nicknamed after the Melbourne Cup winning horse) who was named by an old Hawthorn captain looking back over his 6 or 7 decades of watching the games as one of the best 5 players he had seen (the best being another Blues great and no slow-coach 3 time Champion of the Colony George Coulthardt often in the discussion of the GOAT) and stars from the Carlton team of the (19th) century including George "Sterling Geordie" Smith, Jack Gardiner, William “Billy” Strickland, JH "Harry" Guy, Jack Baker, Billy Goer, Charles Coulson, George Coulthard speedy and in conversation for the best player of all time, Bill “The Little Wonder” Newing (debut at 12-14 years of age),
Billy Dedman goal sneak par excellence, Dick Frayne, Fred W “Paddy” Gunn, Billy Lacy "the finest centre player the colony has seen" John MacGibbon defender and inaugural vice-captain of the Club, Peter Williams, Barney Murphy follower/defender and exceptional allround athlete notably champion sprinter and in his days as a volunteer fireman would run to the fire so as to get there quicker than the fire engine! (I presume horse drawn in those days) Footballer, sprinter, cyclist, pugilist,, rower, cricketer … and last but not least Jack Roberts wing/defender "one of the fastest men that ever played the game".

I might sit down and redo the team in light of those suggestions, but meantime here is one of players I have myself seen, who have played seniors for Carlton:

ARMFIELD JONES MCGOVERN
SAAD PEROVIC HALL
MARCHESANI KOUTOUFIDES MCCONNON
JACKSON H MCKAY YARRAN
HAMPSON FEVOLA GARLETT
DE KONING JUDD BRADLEY
COLLINS MCKERNAN PEARCE QUIRK WALKER

:lol: I love your scientific methodology for including pre-1897 players (nicknames). I'm a great fan of nominative determinism so Billy Goer is my choice for captain.

if it were a race to get a beer, i reckon kernahan would win in a canter, closely followed by wow jones


No way Perovic would street them both. And Jimmy Buckley (who I hear is off the booze and better for it) would acquit himself very well too.


I forgot about Val!!!!!
