been a slow century

 

[King Corey]

Pretty good effort mate. Only minor tweaks for mine.

You could mount an argument about whether Carey's 1.5 seasons in this millenium should outweigh Ben Browns consistent output etc.

[Heaps of fun]

If Sam Gibson is in our best 22 of the century, I'm out.

 

[Pykie]

Carey played 37 games this century for the club, whilst he averaged 2.8 goals per game, I'm not sure he qualifies.

It's essentially what Brown has done over the last 3 seasons.

Waite played 60 games for the club at over 2 goals a game also.

Under the same criteria Adrian McAdam should make the TOTC.

Simmo should be the captain.


It's pretty bleak reading tbh, most struggling to fill some positions with anything but honest battlers. This team basically covers 2 x decades and it still probably doesn't hoild a candle to the single all-decade teams of the 90's, 80's & 70's.

He only played 14 games for NMFC this century.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I think this really should have players who played no more than 50 games prior to 2000.

Then you miss out on the likes of brent harvey who has probably been the best player for nm this century.

And add in other guns like grant, archer, simpson

The data would be more representative of your thread.

Pretty good, would probably slide Sinclair in there ahead of someone and would have Brown instead of Carey due to not enough games.

Not a team of superstars unfortunately.

 

[Marstermind]

That it's reasonable for a bloke who coached for 7 years and made 3 finals series, 5 finals (1 win and 4 thrashings) and a total W/L of under 50% to be coach of this team is a bit damning on several levels

 

[Falkroo]

Let's tuck this thread away for another 50 years and maybe it will be worth re-visiting!

 

[Liam Boy]

marley williams will walk straight into that backline half way through next year

 

[Gasometer]

Lack of Shannon Watt is disturbing

He held the club up through some really tough times, not comparable at all to Brad Scott who had a stable club with brand new facilities

[curnow inferno]

CHANGES AT END OF 2021 SEASON:
IN: SIMPKIN
OUT: MCDONALD
Positional Change: Ziebell to half back flank, Cunnington to centre, Swallow to interchange.

 

[DEVO]

Would have kept McDonald and dropped Dumont.

 

[RobZombie]

One season at HB isn’t enough to have Ziebell in there. If you take his whole career into account he’s a genuine utility coming off the bench. Dumont out, Jess Sinclair

Dumonts about to be delisted. Has no right to be in contention for this side.

 

[shinboner magic]

LDU has played 50 games now - get him in there

 

[Sphynx]

One season at HB isn’t enough to have Ziebell in there. If you take his whole career into account he’s a genuine utility coming off the bench. Dumont out, Jess Sinclair in on the HBF. Otherwise not bad.

LMAC won a Syd at HBF.

By rights he should be one of the first picked in the backline.

Byron played 67 games for North this century and they were 3 of his best years of his career.

I'd almost have him in tbh.

Stevo only played 86 and he's in there and most of his success was in the 90's.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Corey Jones should be in for Dumont.

Feels like Sinclair had more good years there than Luke has had so far. You’d like to find a spot for all your B&F winners though I guess.
