Yeah a weird post from the other bloke, not sure why anybody would get up in arms about Pendles? Perhaps a disgruntled Essendon fan still booing!?They're both in the team...who really cares?
Several of these players are also in my team. Others played roughly half the games over the period that Pendlebury has and others just aren't in his class (all due respect to Bartel...and Kerr, please. You don't get into company like this based on what you could have been. Martin's in danger of going down that path too: out of this world for a couple of years, nothing special for the rest).
Black played until 2013!? Played 291 games if starting in year 2000B: Fletcher Scarlett Enright
HB: Murphy Rance Hodge
C: Goodes Ablett Boomer
HF: Johnson Brown Riewoldt
F: Kennedy Franklin Betts
R: Cox Judd Swan
I: Pendlebury Pavlich Mitchell Burgoyne E: Riewoldt Roughead Selwood
Tried to pick players who played atleast 15 seasons from 2000 to 2019.
Voss, Akermanis, Black barely played this decade so left them out. Included the 07-11 Cats standouts and Haw4orn winners.
B: Matthew Scarlett, Alex Rance, Corey Enright
HB: Luke Hodge, Brian Lake, Andrew McLeod
C: Adam Goodes, Michael Voss, Jason Akermanis
HF: Lance Franklin, Nick Riewoldt, Luke Breust
F: Stephen Milne, Brendan Fevola, Eddie Betts
R: Dean Cox, Chris Judd, Gary Ablett
I/C: Josh P Kennedy, Sam Mitchell, Simon Black, Ben Cousins
I am surprised people are putting Josh J Kennedy ahead of Jack Reiwoldt. Reiwoldt is younger, has played more games, and has kicked more goals. Even then, Fevola kicked more goals than both and played his last game at twenty-nine years of age. He was an utter monster. So was Hall, but Fevola was something else. Breust, Betts, and Milne are the best three small forwards of this century (closely followed by Steve Johnson) and it's difficult to split them - bare in mind Breust is 4 years younger than Betts, and he's on track to end his career with just as many goals as Betts and Milne... was very tempted to put Steve Johnson ahead of Breust, but I have a gut feeling that Breust's reliability will see him have more goals by the end of his career (speculatively).
It's the 21st century team. Who really played his whole career as a true HFF since 2000?Pick HFF as HFF not mids... Mids should be C R and maybe 2 on bench no more
Michael Voss has to be in...best captain this century. Put his body on the line for others to get the reward
If you actually compare his achievements with other mids since 2000 then you'll realise he starts to fall down the list behind other mids.Buckley won a Brownlow,
Norm Smith medal, 3 All Australians and 2 B and Fs in the 21st Century. He must be included.

Gun player but like Hird he did a lot of good work in the 90s.
Bartel also won a Brownlow and a Norm Smith - in far better sides - but I wouldn't have him in.Buckley won a Brownlow,

Pretty much this. I mean, Corey Enright and Bob Murphy are more comparable than Gibson, but you'd have to choose Corey Enright ahead every day of the week.How people have Bob Murphy anywhere near this team is beyond me and I love Bob. Many better back flankers, josh Gibson comes to mind without too much thinking.
When Richo was on, he was on. I think the thing that annoyed me about Richo was that when he was off, his lack-of-confidence was so broadcast and infectious and soul-sucking that it was just infuriating to watch. Of course, he could win a game off his own boot. Never felt that about Lloyd, though (despite how many goals he kicked). Felt like he benefited more from the Bomber's silver service and James Hird always struck me as the ultimate match-winner / match-saver in those days rather than Lloyd. I mostly have the hates on for Lloyd because I remember him more for his ridiculous flops and dives than his goal kicking. I'd take Richo ahead of Lloyd, honestly.I'd have Richo in over Fev, J Riewoldt, and Kennedy easily. Guy was a machine, seriously good runner, one of the best contested marks we've seen, and despite people doubting his goal kicking ability, his accuracy % was actually quite good comparatively. Not to mention he carried the Tigers for a decade.
In terms of forward line you'd probably have 3 keys (Lloyd, Richo, Franklin), 1/2 hybrids (Johnson or Aker), and 1/2 smalls (Milne, Betts, or B Harvey). Damn this gets hard.
No room for a 6 time AA with 350 games and 700 goals that can play anywhere? One of his AA was on a half fwd flank as well Breust ?B: Matthew Scarlett, Alex Rance, Corey Enright

Rance Scarlett Enright
Burgoyne Leppitsch Hodge
Cousins Voss Black
Hird Franklin Ablett
Betts Lloyd Akermanis
Cox Judd Buckley
Goodes Roughead Ricciuto S.Mitchell
Only small forward to have kicked 30 goals a year or more every year.
Averages slightly more goals than Betts. More tackles which apparently is important. And more possessions.
If you are going on longevity (because Betts has more of something) lets have Burgoyne there.
