Geelong Team of the Decade 95 - 05

[Stoney]

Hey just messing around after re-reading an old Cat Chat that did a Team of the Decade from 90 - 2000, it was

Setphen O'Rielly, Ben Graham, Brad Sholl
Ken Hinkley, Tim McGrath, Michael Mansfield
Leigh Colbert, Paul Couch, Peter Riccardi
Ronnie Burns, Barry Stoneham, Liam Pickering
Andrew Bews, Gary Ablett, Bill Brownless
John Barnes, Mark Bairstow, Garry Hocking

Steven Hocking, David Mensch, Paul Lynch

Now i'v done my team of the decade 95 - 05 - with the stipulation that players must have played 3 or more seasons over the 10 years.

Brenton Sanderson, Matthew Scarlett, Brad Sholl
Michael Mansfield, Tom Harley, Darren Milburn
Joel Corey, Liam Pickering, Peter Riccardi
Paul Chapman, Ben Graham, Leigh Colbert
Ronnie Burns, Kent Kingsley, Gary Ablett Jr
Steven King, Garry Hocking, Cameron Ling

Clint Bizzell, Jimmy Bartel, Cameron Mooney, Glenn Kilpatrick

thoughts?

Key matchups - Scarlett v Ablett Snr, Riccardi v Riccardi, Sholl on Ablett Jr and Ling on Hocking

my tip - the 90 - 2000 team by 29 points

How did Mensch make the 90 - 2000 team?

 

[jacross]

I think Colbert should be banned from a team that considers years post 99.

[Stoney]

Surprised that Tony Malakelis didn't make the 90-2000 team...

and David Ugrinic as a sweeper down back - none better..

No Cam Roberts would be better

I think Leigh Brockman worked in tandem better with Gerard Bennett though....

Maybe, but they would be nothing without Tim Finocchiaro passing them the ball..

I just wish Brett Bailey had been around a little later - makings of a premiership midfield.

 

[WestCat]

no tristan lynch either??

He's sitting in the stands with Mitchell White nursing his own hammy

good to see the hard hitting marc neeld at chf!!! who could beat him i ask??

its too early for hunt, gardiner and mackie to be included, they have had enough time to truly justify their position in this illustrious squad.

james rahilly could have been a special mention for his breaking the lines and excellent disposal.

 

[TheTimeCometh]

i like 'that man, Handley' in the forward pocket - tuff matchup.

and..clarkey, could put a hole in yer chest - pin point accuracy.
