Essendon icon Kevin Sheedy coached hundreds of Bomber players during his 27 years as coach.

After so long at the helm, and as part of a competition for his celebration lunch last weekend, we asked him who would he select, and where would they play, if he picked his best possible Bomber team from 1981 – 2007.

How do your selections compare with Sheedy's ?

Sheedy’s best side is below:

Backs: M.Thompson D.Fletcher D. Wallis
Half-backs: G.Wanganeen T.Daniher W.Duckworth
Centres: M.Long L.Baker M. Neagle
Half-forwards: S.Lucas R.Merrett T.Watson
Forwards: P.Salmon M.Lloyd M.Harvey
Rucks: S.Madden J.Hird D.Williams
Bench: P.Vanderhaar P.Weston M.Mercuri G.O’Donnell J.Misiti J.Johnson

Congratulations to Adrian Betts who managed to get the closest entry to Sheedy’s team.
