It’s the conversation that would normally be happening across pubs, playgrounds and lounge rooms across the country.
Who’s your best side?
With the world in lockdown, we took the conversation to Zoom and asked the panel of our To The Final Bell Podcast presented by Panther Tyres to name their 22 of AFL-era Cats to take on the arch-rival Hawks in a do or die clash.
Premiership skipper Cameron Ling, his premiership teammate Mathew Stokes and Herald Sun journalist and author of the Cats 07, 09 and 11 premiership books, Scott Gullan we’re all given a week to pick their 22 to play in the game. Names wouldn’t matter, who could pick the team that would get the win.
The results were interesting with subtle differences across all their sides.
