    Rookie List Team of The Decade (or so)

    The rookie list has been great for us. A lot of great picks, experience depth types and of course a chunk of misses. But overall really good and looks set to return even more success. So the team of the decade, give or take a few years:

    B: Adcock Austin Roberts* (was taken at the PSD after being overlooked for the ND. But he's close enough)
    HB: Harbrow Morris JJ
    C: Hahn M. Boyd Goodes
    HF: Barlow Redpath Hooper
    F: Jong Davison Pearce
    R: Campbell, Dahlhaus, Picken
    Int: R. Smith, Moles, Greenwood, Panos
    Emerg: Pask, Condos , Mulligan

    Total AFL games since being rookie listed: 1,152

    Forgot Hahn had a year on the rookie list at the end but surely that doesn't qualify him for the team? Did he even play a game that year?

      No, but he is easily the best rookie to not play a senior game. Some of the names we recruited were a complete surprise to me. John Who?

        Ed Barlow. Should never have let him go. Second biggest blunder by Macca. (The first was, of course, the appointment of the Grifter as captain).

          Did you pick Roberts in that particular position specifically so you could add the qualification afterward?
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            You know me too well. Yes.

                  True. I wouldn't mind Harbrow about now though and forgetting the Sherman Experience.

                    That's got to be one of the worst picks ever doesn't it? Actually Rawlings might trump it being the first pick.

                      Yep, both are in the same group with Koops & Street.

                          Both. It's a ruse to trick the other Rookie List teams. We are gonna have 23 players! Sometimes Tom, sometimes Bailey.
