To Dale - in response to your query as my choice of Kevin Walsh as captain I hereby state my logic....

 

Any player with an ugly red melon that would frighten children in the same vain that only John Ironmonger could match and with a skill level that is time and time eclipsed week in week out at half time by Auskick primary children and yet can still make an All Australian team deserves to take a bow and lay claims to the captaincy of my worst All Australian team ever.
