B&F Teams of the Decade
By Brett Anderson
Inside Football, Dec 09-Feb 10 edition
Inside Football based club teams of the decade on the top 10 voting in the B&F - the best guide to how a player performed in their opinion. To determine the best 22 they used a sliding scale. Each year the B&F winner received 10 votes, the runner-up nine, down to 10th placegetter who received one point. The decade's 22 top scorers were revealed and put into a team.
Richmond
In another decade to forget for the Tigers, Joel Bowden and Matthew Richardson stood out like beacons. Eight top-10 finishes between them coupled with three Jack Dyer Medals underlined their consistency. Despite the general lack of success, the Tigers' best 22 is still a most serviceable lline-up, however the fact that Ben Cousins came in at 23rd on the list after just one season at Punt Road highlights the lack of depth at Richmond since the turn of the decade.
Best 22 of the Decade:
B: Mark Chaffey (11) Darren Gaspar (29) Andrew Kellaway (21)
HB: Chris Newman (28 ) Joel Bowden (57) Daniel Jackson (9)
C: Wayne Campbell (26) Kane Johnson (35) Leon Cameron (14)
HF: Brett Deledio (26) Matthew Richardson (56) Nathan Foley (18 )
F: Nathan Brown (11) Brad Ottens (18 ) Kayne Pettifer (11)
R: Troy Simmonds (15) Shane Tuck (30) Mark Coughlan (24)
Int: Greg Tivendale (13), Andrew Raines (9), Matthew Knights (8 ), Richard Tambling (7)
Top 10 of the Decade:
1. Joel Bowden 57
2. Matthew Richardson 56
3. Kane Johnson 35
4. Shane Tuck 30
5. Darren Gaspar 29
6. Chris Newman 28
7. Wayne Campbell 26
7. Brett Deledio 26
9. Mark Coughlan 24
10. Andrew Kellaway 21

To get a true indication shouldn't they then divided by the number of years each player was on the list in this decade eg. Richo 56/10 =5.6, bling 15/5=3

It is a worry when your team of the decade probably wouldn't make the finals.

I think it was done on B&F votes so Andrew Raines was top 22 B&F votes 2000-2009.

Shows how ordinary our recruiting has been over the decade when just one Tiger who was drafted as a kid (not recycled) post-2000 makes the top 10.

Looking at this "best of the decade side" one year on and it's no surprise we're sadly coming up to 10 years without finals :(. A mixture mostly of older players on the wrong side of their prime who had only a good year or two, players cut down by injury in their prime (Browny, Cogs, Foley) and others who should be nowhere near a best of a decade list :P. Hopefully with a large group of youngsters now coming through and developing together we'll finally end up with a side that finally represents finals appearances and success over the upcoming decade :pray.

Geez. stuff that's bad

I think the better question to ask is who out of that team would you like to have included to our current list?
Excluding the current players in the team I would have a young and fit Richo, Brown, Ottens, Simmonds and maybe Knights. The rest I think we will have better options of when our current players develop.

I wonder how many of our current list will end up on our side of the next decade?
Right now, I'd like to think Jack, Dusty, Cotch and Lids would be in that side providing they remain at the club and maintain current form.
It could mean some real success if Titch, Astbury, Griffiths, Morton and maybe Vickery wound up in it as well.

poo thats terrible :banghead

I would have dropped Kane and bought in Tim Flemming.
At least he has some balls and was alway at the bottom of the pack.
Even if he started most of it. I loved him for being of the old Tiger mould.
-
I liked Tim. Even though we got our ar$es kicked every week he was one of the few that always gave it his best. Didn't have great skills but eff he was hard at it and could win the onion.

You've gott to be effing kidding. Flem would be near first picked in a worst team of the decade.
Terrible team named here though.

Early candidate for stupidest post of 2011. Actually it's gonna be very hard to beat
-
You just have without thinking.

Nothing wrong with having hardnuts in the side but in the modern game they have to have decent skills especially by foot so they just don't give the ball straight back to the opposition. Fleming was one of the worst kicks ever seen in a Tiger guernsey. Almost as bad as Duncan Kellaway.

If we are talking potential we could add Conca to that list if he lives up to his top 10 draft ranking.
