Team of the decade

Has anyone given any thought to the USAFL's request for out , "team of the decade"?

B MadSid, Aussie Jason, Capt Joe,
HB Seppo Jason,Timmy, Mario
C Macca, Chad (the guy whose name escapes me, #10 from the 2001 side)
HF Evan Koch,Cammo, Andy,
F Freddy, Justin Valley, Eric,
R Shannon , Stiegs, The Reveredn Gary
I Aaron, Longhair, Wayne C, (everyone who had a go)
E Me (if I hadn't broken 4 ribs and effed me back before the first game, I would have been friggin' Capt, still playing, and already have established records that I would continually added to, until the day I retired, when San Diego beat StKilda in the World Cup)
Coach Howard Battye (sorry Stiegs, playing coaches went out of fashion along with your tighty whities)

Sid was a crazy Army dude, who played CHF before Cammo showed up in 1999, and did well when he went back, Aussie Jason won the 1999 CAFL GF for us with his brilliant Job on Irondonger, and he drilled the ball at me in thq 1999 Prelim when I took a screamer, Capt Joe was , what 5 fott 2, and I remember him taking on Big Steve 6 10, from OC, and repeatedly outmarking him in the 1998 105 degree double point day of infamy, Seppo Jason had the smallest pair of boots, even at Ballet school, Timmy's sister inlaw ogled my wedding tackle when my shorts split in the 99 game at IE, Mario moved back to Melb and lived above the Dev on New St Brighton, and once outmarked me, Macca gave me free beer from the Stone Brewery, Chad was a seppo wonder both with the footy and dental floss, #10 showed me up at a 2000 game of beach cricket, when I thought I could actually do one thing better than everyone, Evan played with us when he was 15, kicked 4 goals in half a game witnessed by Paul Roos, and his brother Neil is in my Australian Mountain Bike Team, Cammoused me as a chick magnet, Andy was a little raggedy, Freddy should take a friggin rest and chill in the FP, JV is about the only name I know from recent years, Eric had an amazing 99, the best player ever without an achilles tendon, Shannon was a seppo ruckman who played our 1st 3 games before disappearing, who kicked 3 goals a game, rucked roved, everything, Stiegs was proud of the one day he actually brought a 6 pack to my place after his 100 visit, The Reverend gave me too many, umm Chronic problems, and beat me up in a Sata Clara Mote, after beating up a pitbull, Aaron actually sat next to me at last year's presentation night, Longhair was Longhair, Wayne was the hear n soul while I was the asshole, and EVERYONE, with little talent who had a go is a friggin allstar

Re: Team of the decade

Billy,

I'm not sure that my selection in your "team of the decade" wasn't a backhanded way of making yet another dig at me. I've been trying to ask you for your email address forever only to be constantly ignored, which is fine. All I want to do is come over, have a chat and drink some of your beer. However it would hardly be for the 100th time. You'd never own up to losing that many games of darts! I'll bring a slab over this time if you're game.

Stiegs

P.S. I would refrain from picking my team as I hardly have a good frame of reference these days, however I would find it strange if these names didn't rate a mention:

Cammo, Freddie, Donovan, Marco, Timmy, Greenie for obvious reasons. I personally would also throw in Viking who I loved coaching. Good luck this year boys.
