TAKE the 44 players most likely to play in this year's Grand Final and combine them into one powerful line-up.
Up for it? Well, when you consider the array of talent on offer at Geelong and Hawthorn, you'll realise it's a difficult task.
In fact, the blended side – 'Geethorn' or 'Hawlong' – would not look out of place as an All-Australian team, such is its quality.
But we want to hear what you think.
Should Campbell Brown be in the side in place of Mark Williams? Is Mark Blake a better second ruck option than Robert Campbell? Should we make room in the midfield for Jordan Lewis? Is Cam Mooney a better bet up forward than Jarryd Roughead?
Overall, the Cats pip the Hawks by two players – 12 to 10 – in our side, and such an even contribution from both teams augurs for a great contest this weekend.
So have we got it right? Can you find a better balance? Now's your chance to tell us.
