Player of the Decade (Voss) coached by the Player of the 20th Century (Mathews)..

All seems quite natural to me....AFL royalty right there..

 

[jerry springer]

would of given it to Black personally

showed how good brisbane were though.4 players in the top 10

 

[reggie]

Fair player. Although I would argue that his better seasons were probably in the 90s

Well he was in a Super Side who Cheated with the Salary Cap to keep the side Together and Typical AFL looking after the Inter-State Sides

 

[smiddaz123]

Dave, quit it, Brisbane weren't cheats.

I agree with Jerry, Black would've been my pick. Scarlett would've been up there as well.

How can someone be named player of the decade when he was only considered to be in the best 22 of each year, three times.

Simon Goodwin has been named five times in the All-Australian side, captained his club for two seasons, won three best & fairests, won the Michael Tuck Medal, represented Australia, etc, etc...all in this decade.

They didnt cheat

they had an afl given salary cap advantage but they didn't cheat it was all legal

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Dave this is arguably one of the worst threads you have created.
Voss is a friggen superstar and deservedly won.

I would have voted Simon Black though

 

[didaka]

James Hird was a superior player to Michael Voss.

 

[jefffff34]

I just did a team of the decade...let me know your thoughts...

Backs - Andrew McLeod - Matthew Scarlett - Simon Goodwin
Half Backs - Jason Akermanis - Adam Goodes - Nigel Lappin
Centres - Chris Judd - Mark Ricciuto - Ben Cousins
Half Forwards - Gary Ablett - Matthew Pavlich - Nick Riewoldt
Forwards - Brad Johnson - Warren Tredrea - Brent Harvey
Rucks - Dean Cox - Nathan Buckley - Scott West
Int - Simon Black - Lenny Hayes - James Hird - Michael Voss

 

[smiddaz123]

Clement in the back pocket thanks.

Take out Johnson or Tredrea and put in Wayne Carey.

 

[reggie]

I reckon you could find a place for Voss and Hird to start on the field. Not sure about B Harvey.

Other than that pretty good

 

[Dawson]

Voss was a great player, but for me it would be
1. Simon Black
2. Hird
3. Jonathan Brown
4. Voss

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Take out Johnson or Tredrea and put in Wayne Carey.

lol, how many good games did Carey play from 2000-2009?
Tredrea easily

 

[Pie eyed]

Correct decision.
Triple Premiership player.....hard to argue.

 

[mattys123]

Umm, am I missing something here.

This is an unofficial public poll from FoxSports.

Voss has not been "officially" voted the player of the decade, so to put it bluntly, WHO GIVE'S A SHIT.

Next please.

 

[Antz]

lol, how many good games did Carey play from 2000-2009?
Tredrea easily

Agree... but he does qualify

 

[jefffff34]

Take out Johnson or Tredrea and put in Wayne Carey.

Wayne Carey's 2000s stats...
65 matches
160 goals
13.8 possessions per game
5.6 marks per game

Warren Tredrea's 2000s stats...
210 matches
467 goals
14.7 possessions per game
7.2 marks per game

Brad Johnson's 2000s stats...
225 matches
447 goals
20.8 possessions per game
6.7 marks per game


Clement would have been in the emergencies Smiddaz.

Clement would have been in the emergencies Smiddaz.

You're lucky I'm a Christmassy spirit, otherwise this would have been an instant red.

In fact, your entire backline makes very little sense to me. Chris Johnson and Clement should be locks in any team, and I have no idea what Akermanis is doing down back, nor what Goodwin is doing anywhere near this team.

 

[smiddaz123]

Clement - Scarlett - Johnson
McLeod/Enright/Lappin - Leppitch? - McLeod/Enright/Lappin

Having a bit of trouble with the CHB spot. Leppitch was good, but didn't play a heap of the decade. There hasn't been a real stand out in terms of output over the whole decade, so Leppitch might get the position for me.

Two of McLeod, Enright and Lappin on the flanks.

I get the feeling I'm missing one or two obvious guys though.

 

[_The_Magpie_Nut_]

1.Buckley
2.Hird
3.Voss
4.Brown
5.Cousins

Buckley's beautiful to watch, superior kicking skills too

Clement's first two seasons of the decade were traded, and then average...and then he didn't play the last two seasons, therefore he wasn't there.

Akermanis has played his fair share of time down there, and for my thoughts on Goodwin, read my above comments.

 

[DoubleO7]

Correct decision.
Triple Premiership player.....hard to argue.

Premierships are a team victory, not an individual accomplishment. Cameron Mooney is a triple premiership player aswell... FWIW, Simon Black has been the superior player this decade (IMO).
