All Star Teams
We are currently working on collating and displaying in diagram style 'fields' the entire "official" teams of the century selected by most senior football clubs since the 1990s. In addition, we will showcase a number of other "unofficial" 'All-Star' teams that have been selected by various commentators and experts over the years, including from 'Full Points Footy', as well as quite a few of our own making.
