Not that far away:

Firstly:There would be no Ray, McMahon, Skipper, Minson

Secondly: Definate Inclusions: Wynd, Liberatore, Kretiuk, Matthew Croft,

Others in contention aul Hudson, Romero, Steve Kolyiuk, & Paul Dimmatina

 

[HowBoutThemDoggies]

how does wade skipper get in our team of the decade
a) he cant get a game
b) he hasnt played 50 games

 

[stay_fit_tommy]

Would have thought Leon Cameron gets a run.

 

[Snagboy]

Would have thought Leon Cameron gets a run.

Didn't include him as he only played 17 games in the last decade & that was his last year with dogs. Sadly he had an ordinary year & was traded.

 

[stay_fit_tommy]

Sweet, read the thread as anyone on the list from 98 onwards who had 50 games under their belt

not bad but a few changes.

here is my go

FB Croft Lake/Harris Morris
HB Smith Grant Gilbee
C Eagleton West Cross
HF Hudson Darcy Brown
FF Murphy Johnson Robbins
Ruck Wynd Libber Cooney
Inter Kretiuk Hahn Gia Hargrave

* Griffen just misses out for mine and Cooney was lucky.

I like this side, Griff just needed one more good year. He hasn't done enough as yet. Robbins a very good contributor for quite a few years.
Wog Squad members Dimma and Jose unlucky

 

[bludger]

Funnily enough our best team of the decade probably still get smacked by 10 goals from Geelongs team of this year.

Agree with Griffen, maybe 1 of Kretiuk or Shaggy could be droped for Jose.

Pretty Close but would go something like this:
B: Kretiuk, Lake, Morris
HB: Smith, Croft, Gilbee
C: Cross, West, Griffen
HF: Hudson, Grant, Murphy
F: Robbins, Darcy, Johnson
Ruck: Wynd, Cooney, Liberatore
Inter: Hargrave, Romero, Hahn, Gia

Griffen surely on the wing ahead of Eagleton, with Dimattina and possibly Boyd unlucky also.
Some good marking power forward and good tall defenders.

ok we are taking this from 1998/99-2008 so IMO Grant played more at CHB during this time, but yeah i was thinking of having croft at CHB and Grant CHF

Griffen is a year away for mine, and Eagleton hasn't been to bad, better then most seem to give him credit for.

Just because you might still hate Brown, dosn't mean he should not be there.

Yeah fair call, did forget Brown maybe him on the bench and push Romero to the wing in place of Griffen. Eagleton been ok but in my opinion not better than Romero or even Dimattina for that matter.

 

[Tempo]

The complete lack of tall KPP depth in all the teams.

8 years on Scott Claytons watch.

 

[RhysFN]

this might give the cats a run there money

 

[Bulldog1954]

The first team has some very befuddling selections.

IMHO Romero>>Eagleton>>Dimma
