Cant really see how you can fit Maher in ahead of Gaze and Heal. But if you put plenty of weight on who was the best clutch shooter, then Maher is in for sure.

Surely there has been a better small forward from Aus than McKinnon?

Who remembers the game he played in adelaide where he fouled out without scoring...

Best imports really difficult. Julius Hodge not mentioned yet...

Aussies

Russell Hinder
Clint Reed
Ben Arkell
Luke Martin
Graeme Dann

Imports

Dwayne Mclain
Kenny Mclary
Leon Trimmingham
Isaac Burton
Chris Jent

That ought to ruffle some feathers!

Dodo bird feathers maybe! I did forget about Chris Jent though, damn he could shoot.

Now I'm remembering Fisher and Dillon...

Maher won 3 championships
Heal won 1
There's a reason to have maher ahead of heal

To avoid the "apologies to..." I cheated a little bit, as you'll see.
I know 4 of the 5 superstars in my "imports" team naturalised but I selected on the basis of what they did in the league BEFORE becoming Aussie citizens.
E.g, I put Rob Rose in with the Naturalised team because he not only won an MVP as an import, he won another as a naturalised player. Here's mine:

Aussies: Phil Smyth, Andrew Gaze (C), Ian Davies, Chris Anstey, Mark Bradtke.

Imports: Ricky Grace, Rocky Smith, Leroy Loggins (C), Mark Davis, James Crawford.

Naturalised: Darryl McDonald, Lanard Copeland, Rob Rose (C), Scott Fisher, Shawn Redhage.

Hate to do this, but to be fair we should have a Kiwi side as well.

Why not do a 10 or 12 man team on each side?

That way you won't have to leave out thousands of worthy players.

All-Star Smiths;

Aussies
Jason Smith
Darren Smith
Phil Smyth
David Smith
Blair Smith

Imports
Rocky Smith
Reggie Smith
Donta Smith
James Smith
A.D. Smith

Kiwis.

Cant think of a true 5 man and there would be some real defensive miss matches between both teams. Imports with 2 great defenders in the guard spots and Jones and JC no slouches. Aussies with good defenders in Smyth, Bradtke and Anstey and a solid size advantage in the 4 and 5 spots but Davies and Bradtke would struggle to defend Jones or D-Train off the dribble.

A true 5 man for the imports that is.
