Dream Team coach Mark Williams proudly boasted on Thursday that he has the greatest forward line in the history of the game at his disposal for Saturday night's AFL Hall of Fame match against Victoria at the MCG.
Williams showed off his awesome attack as he sat down for a press conference alongside Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich, Richmond veteran Matthew Richardson, Geelong's premiership-winning centre half-forward Cameron Mooney and the man who is leading the race for the Coleman Medal this season - Hawthorn's rising superstar Lance "Buddy" Franklin.
Between them the four star forwards have booted nearly 1500 goals - with Richardson (767 goals) booting more than half that figure on his own - while between them they have topped their club's goalkicking on 18 occasions, with all achieving that feat last season.
Williams is staggered his team has been put up as underdogs by the bookmakers on Saturday night, particularly considering the amount of firepower he has at his disposal.
"I don't think the AFL has ever seen such a star-studded line-up like this in any forward line," he said.
"I'm as excited as anyone (at seeing all four in the one attack) and it's a great mix we have got."
And certainly if Williams is right then the Vics will be in for a difficult evening on Saturday night
The last time any team had so much firepower at its disposal was the Victorian side of 1989 when the two greatest goalkickers of the modern era - Tony Lockett and Jason Dunstall - were paired together alongside Dermott Brereton, Terry Daniher and Garry Lyon as the Vics beat South Australia by 86 points with Lockett, Dunstall and Brereton kicking 12 between them.
However it is arguable the Dream Team's opponents on Saturday night have just as strong a forward line considering the home side's attack will be led by the Coleman Medallists of the past two years in Brisbane's Jonathan Brown and Carlton's Brendan Fevola with support from in-form pair Daniel Bradshaw and Jarryd Roughead as well as 2007 Norm Smith Medallist Steve Johnson.
But Williams is adamant his attack is better and is amazed his team is considered outsiders to win the game, despite being up against a parochial Victorian home crowd.
"I am not allowed to bet on football but if I was a betting man I would be thinking - the team in white (The Dream Team) look pretty good," he said.
Williams said he expected his four key forwards to all inspire each other on Saturday night rather than get in each other's way.
"I think the guys have already really gelled together terrifically well (at training) and we expect to get a great result."
"I'm sure there will be a contest between them over who can take the biggest mark and who can kick the longest goal."
Pavlich for one expects few problems between the awesome foursome.
"Once we get out there and the flow of play is going - and fingers crossed our midfield get their hands on the ball first and we can move it freely - then I think we will be able to work in tandem quite well," he said.
Richardson joked that with so much talent in attack, it certainly won't be the forwards' fault if The Dream Team is beaten.
"If we don't kick goals and we don't kick a winning score it won't
