I’ll put my hand up and say that was a major error on my part leaving that out.
The decade that was: Melbourne
Those two were certainly considered, as was their win over Adelaide away from home in 2018.
The decade that was: Greater Western Sydney
Thanks for your comment Michael.
Firstly on White, as I said in the article, the Pies didn’t really have a wealth of key forward options during the 2010 decade apart from Cloke, so it was never going to be a well-known player selected. It was a choice out of Chris Dawes and White, and while Dawes is a premiership player, I chose White because he averaged more goals than Dawes and played during an unsuccessful period for the Pies. 75 goals from 56 matches in a team that lost more times than it won isn’t anything to sneeze at, so while you may not have enjoyed White, I think the facts back his selection in the team.
Re Blair and Fasolo in the 18 over Thomas, both Blair and Fasolo are forwards, so I picked them as such. I’m not going to put Thomas in as a half forward or a forward pocket given he played as a midfielder. I also don’t think Thomas performed better than the five midfielders I picked in starting 18 this decade, hence why he ended up on the bench. There’s nothing wrong with being on the bench these days.
The decade that was: Collingwood
That’s the plan Ben! Collingwood coming soon. Adelaide and Brisbane are already up.
The decade that was: Carlton
Not ‘tucking’ him away on a forward flank. He spent quite a bit time pushing forward, as seen by his three goals.
AFL Team of the Week: Round 1
Not sure what you’re talking about, he’s there 😉
Thanks for the pick up!
Greater Western Sydney 2019 season preview, best 22 and predicted finish
Thanks Mastermind, that game was also considered but I left it out due to the lack of contest the Bombers gave for three quarters.
The ten best Round 11 games from the past ten years
So you’re suggesting I swap Lachie Neale into Cam Pedersen’s position in the ruck?
I appreciate your weekly feedback Don, but maybe take the purple glasses off once in a while.
AFL team of the week: Round 8
Hi Connor,
Thanks for your message. If you check my Round 2 team, you would see that Matt Rowell was picked as an on-baller.
It was very tight between Rowell and Miller, but I felt Touk gave the Suns a lot more drive and it didn’t feel right to not reward him for that.
