These sorts of threads seem to come up every year, however the '10s decade has now completed. I also consider a decade team differently to comparing our 2010 flag side vs our current team - one year vs multiple years. Based on their performance between 2010-2019 (PonsfordMagpie has done the hard work here) what is our best 22 over that decade?
A couple of obvious head-to-heads:
Other comments:
B: Maxwell (C) ~ N.Brown ~ Howe
HB: Crisp ~ Reid ~ Shaw
C: Sidebottom ~ Pendlebury ~ D.Thomas
HF: Beams ~ Mihocek ~ Treloar
F: Elliott ~ Cloke ~ De Goey
R: Grundy ~ Swan ~ Ball
I: Blair ~ Jolly ~ Lumumba ~ Adams
E: Goldsack ~ Varcoe ~ Maynard ~ Toovey
A couple of obvious head-to-heads:
Captain - Maxwell 4 years, Pendlebury 6 years
Ruck - Jolly vs Grundy
The most difficult was CHF with Dawes (61 games 73 goals), White (56 games, 75 goals), Reid (142 games, 66 goals), Moore (71 games, 61 goals) and Mihocek (40 games, 65 goals) all in the mix. Cox and Cloke I both consider to be full forwards during this timespan. Reid and Moore have both spent time in defence with Reid a clear standout at CHB, so ultimately I feel Mihocek is the better option from a pool with no real standout.Other comments:
Blair has to be in the side given the number of games played
Davis, Didak, Johnson, L.Brown, Tarrant, Krakouer, Dunn, Moore (by position) and Maynard I didn't feel had the longevity
Langdon and Toovey are stiff to miss, however we're not short on well performed defenders and I preferred others, similarly Fasolo (forward), Macaffer (forward/tagger) and Greenwood (tagger/defence)
