Just how good are Australian footballers

[Marshy]

Stan Lazaridis..... i think he was an Aussie

 

[mreprice]

I'd say the best Aussie side would be about as good as Everton.
Goals Bosnich or Schwartzer
Full backs Brett Emerton and Alan Davidson (played for forest in the 80s)
Centre backs Lucas Neill Craig Moore
Centre mids Mark Bresciano Mike Jedinak
Wide men Harry Kewell Craig Johnston
Viduka and Tim Cahill up front

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Mark Schwarzer

Brett Emerton, Craig Moore, Joe Marston, Lucas Neill

Harry Kewell, Marco Bresciano, Ned Zelic, Craig Johnston

Mark Viduka , Tim Cahill

 

[SeagullofMalaysia]

Let's make it an Anzac team and include Chris Wood

Ryan Nelsen did well in the Prem

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Mark Schwarzer

Brett Emerton, Craig Moore, Joe Marston, Lucas Neill

Harry Kewell, Marco Bresciano, Ned Zelic, Craig Johnston

Mark Viduka , Tim Cahill

I think that is a decent starting XI, they'd all be wearing Predator boots though. Not sure how mobile Viduka would be now, he had the turning circle of an oil tanker when he was playing.

Stan Lazaridis..... i think he was an Aussie

Top player. In fact one of my claims to fame (ish) is playing against him when he was at Floreat. They played at the velodrome, built for the Commonwealth Games, in 62 I think. Which is probably where he got his close ball control from. A very tight pitch, with predictably steep sides. Lovely guy.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Cahil was very good. Kewell and Viduka on their day but bit hit and miss. Other than that it's keepers like Schwarzer and Bosnich really. Plenty of 'Middlesbourgh' types over the years I'd say but Everton would be ambitious.

Tony Dorigo.

A 'must' have in fantasy football teams

All our A-Grade athletes play Aussie Rules and League. Soccer is for the C grade athletes.

Understood. Explains your underwhelming list of League One / Championship level players.

 

[Napper]

This new keeper could make a good boxer if football doesn't work out.

Based on his highlights clips on crosses

Tony Dorigo.

Good shout. I'll add him to my team at full back. Zelic Okon Lazaridis on the bench.
