You know my 8yo son asked me on Friday who would win a fight between Hulk and Spider-Man. I told him not to bother me with such stupid questions.
I then spent the next 48 hours pondering just that question.

The answer to that question is always...Yoda.

Yep. Didn't see Rowbottom's name mentioned.

Dumb question, it's the Hulk obviously

Very funny comment from Brent Staker. I'm not sure I would have his sense of humour.

Barry Hall vs Paul Gallen, Code War fight

Barry Hall and Paul Gallen have fought out a majority draw after six thrilling rounds in the much-hyped Code War.

Kennedy swans player of the decade then?

Kennedy swans player of the decade then?

Yes.

Kennedy swans player of the decade then?

I'd say that was pretty clearly the case.

 

[The King!]

Who’s the next best for the decade

I presume a lot will say buddy 2013-2019

Goodes faded then retired mid decade

I think I’d look at the defence and go a bit left field and say grundy

Smooch or Reg for mind. Probably Reg by an ‘accidental’ fumble over the line.

Extra context re: best players of the last decade (drawn from this thread https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/bob-skilton-medal-history.1209040/)

Most top 10 finishes in the Bob Skilton Medal 2010-2019:
Josh Kennedy 10
Luke Parker 7
Dan Hannebery 7
Jarrad McVeigh 7
Nick Smith 6
Kieren Jack 6
Dane Rampe 5
Heath Grundy 5
Jake Lloyd 4
Lance Franklin 4
Ryan O'Keefe 4

Most top 5 finishes:

Josh Kennedy 9
Kieren Jack 5
Jarrad McVeigh 5
Luke Parker 5
Ryan O'Keefe 3
Dan Hannebery 3
Heath Grundy 3
Lance Franklin 3

As everyone has suggested, Kennedy is head and shoulders above the rest. Parker & McVeigh probably have the next best claims as per this evidence.

Not sure there will ever be a Swans player who I love more than Kennedy.

I love him because it feels like he has never let us down in a big game

Time to start getting excited for this season!

A happy, healthy and prosperous new year to all

Tried my hand at an all-decade team. Certainly subjective and incredibly difficult to narrow down to only 22.

B: Luke Hodge - Alex Rance - Josh Gibson
HB: Corey Enright - Harry Taylor - Shannon Hurn
C: Dane Swan - Josh P. Kennedy - Gary Ablett
HF: Luke Breust - Lance Franklin - Steve Johnson
F: Eddie Betts - Josh J. Kennedy - Jack Riewoldt
R: Todd Goldstein - Sam Mitchell - Scott Pendlebury
INT: Joel Selwood - Patrick Dangerfield - Nathan Fyfe - Nick Riewoldt

And about 15 other names I wanted to include...

The word 'redemption' gets thrown around way too often at the start of a new season.

 

[Ticky009]

Wouldn't mind us making an offer to Zac Williams. Out of contract, GWS still have Cameron to lock away. Might get a nibble but won't know if we don't ask
