Herald sun have attempted to compile the best team of the 21st century
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/m ... 47cf90a922
B: Enright Scarlett Johnson
HB: Hodge (C) Rance McLeod
C: Selwood Voss Pendlebury
HF: Johnson Riewoldt Hird
F: Goodes Brown Franklin
R: Cox Judd Ablett
I: Mitchell Dangerfield B Harvey Pavlich
E: Black, Buckley, Lloyd, Richardson, Swan
Always super hard to do this when careers span eras etc but it's not a bad team. Dane swan has to be in there though. Staggering they can leave him out and out someone like Selwood in there. Who is obviously a gun but wasn't to Swans level at his best.
Mark ricciuto doesn't even get a mention either. Five of his eight all Australians in this period, 2 of his 3 B&Fs and his Brownlow. I would have him in over James Hird who did more of his stuff in the 90s imo.
Relegating Buddy to a pocket is also terrible imo. He is the best forward of this era by the length of the straight.
The backline and the Ruck line pick themselves
