The decade of the tens has come and all but gone.

what is the best lists you can name in this decade.

eg best team of the decade

best ten players of the decade

whatever you want.

humour, anything go for it.
 
Collingwood 2010 - 2019

B. H Shaw ~ C Tarrant ~ B Maynard
HB. J Howe ~ D Moore ~ J Crisp
C. S Sidebottom ~ T Adams ~ A Treloar
HF. J De Goey ~ B Reid ~ J Stephenson
F. J Elliott ~ T Cloke ~ A Didak
R. B Grundy ~ S Pendlebury (c) ~ D Swan
I. D Jolly ~ D Beams ~ L Ball ~ D Thomas
 
Reid making centre half forward despite predominantly being a backline mainstay really underlines our poorly our tall forwards with the exception of Cloke performed this decade.

Whether that was structural, talent related or both is up for debate but really Cloke’s production for us cannot be sneezed at.

Nail.
hammer.
head.

i was so thinking that.
like we really really really struggle to have a second key forward after the obvious Cloke.
its a sad song.

says so much.

I’d almost stick Mihocek in there.

I suppose your inclusion of Moore does somewhat balance it out given he spent all but the last two seasons forward, but a developing KPP selected on the premise of promise is probably even more damning to our other options.
 
Best 10 players of the past decade:

  • Pendlebury
  • Swan
  • Grundy
  • Sidebottom
  • Cloke T
  • Treloar
  • De Goey
  • Shaw H
  • Elliott
  • Beams
 
Top 10 Pies players that broke my heart to see in another clubs jumpers last decade;

10.
Harry O

9. Toppy Dawes

8. Sharrod Wellingham

7. Paul Seedsman

6. Nathan Brown

5. Jarrod Witts

4. Dayne Beams

3. Travis Cloke

2. Daisy

1. Heath Shaw
I reckon Wellingham would have become a club champion if he stayed at Collingwood. His 2011-12 form is often forgotten about, but he wasn't just a good wingman to Swan, Pendlebury and Beams, he often stood up at times when they were down. Had a lot of weapons, and he just flourished in those two seasons.

No hard feelings since he turned into the pick we used on Grundy, but I often wonder about how his career would have gone if he didn't go back to WA to become a flaky back flanker at West Coast.

I find a telling stat that surmises SW's career pretty well, he only ever had one 30 plus possession game.

Quality > quantity. Was a good user, reliable goal kicker and very good defensively.

Plus, there was only so much footy to be won by Wellers with Swan, Pendles, Beams, Ball and Thomas around him.

Just feels like he was never thrown the keys to the midfield car often enough.

People love that comeback win against the Crows and rightly so, but I tell you what comeback win from 2011 I love even more, is when we trailed Essendon by 23 at quarter time and at half-time by 12, before going on to win by 74 points, with a 6-2 goal third team and 10-1 goal final term. Complete annihilation in that second half. One of Swanny's finest performances with 45 and a goal, Pendles had over 30 and kicked 3, Krakouer kicked 4 and Faz kicked his first bag with 5. So good.
