Supporters Choice Port Adelaide Team of the Decade

[Portia]

Here's mine

F.....Lade..........Cummings....James
HF....P. Burgoyne...Tredrea.....Schofield
C.....Francis.......J. Carr.....Dew
HB....Bishop........Mead........Montgomery
B.....Wanganeen.....Paxman......Wilson
Rucks: Primus (C), N. Stevens, Francou
Interchange: Hardwick, Kingsley, C. Cornes, Wakelin

Kane Cornes and Shaun Burgoyne unlucky to miss, they'll probably make next decade's team though.

FF: Wanganeen - C.Cornes - Lade
HF: Schofield - Tredrea - P.Burgoyne
C: N.Stevens - James - S.Burgoyne
HB: Kingsley - Mead - Wilson
FB: Hardwick - Paxman - Wakelin
R: Primus (c), Francou, Carr

INT Montgomery, Francis, K.Cornes, Dew

bit different to how I voted, but I was a little hamstrung on occasions.

Tallish backline, would put JB or Wangas on the dangerous small forward if required.

Cornes at FF, yeah ummm, I couldnt bear the thought of Cummings being in my team of the decade, I regretted voting for him. If I were coach I would name Chad there and then send him wherever he was required (Rotate through midfield, loose in defence etc)

FF Lockwood

Interesting choice of Bowen (50 games, 45 goals), certainly had potential, but surely there are better options out there for the full-forward slot even if you don't jig the lineup around (ie Lade or Chad at FF). For instance:

Cummings: 37 games, 102 goals
Cockatoo-Collins: 75 games, 106 goals

Even these three have better goal to game ratios.

Mahoney: 61 games, 75 goals
Ebert: 57 games, 68 goals
White: 39 games, 37 goals

Also, no Primus, at all?

For somebody who has Darryle Poole in your team it just proves that you have no idea

Thats a bit harsh ,Pooley was a very popular player who made others walk tall around him ,had a shocking run with injuries (30games in 2 seasons).
Even his coach at the time John Cahill said he was as important to his side as Carey was to north.Surely you dont think John had no idea
