Warren Tredrea was the most dominant forward (some say player) in the game from 2000-2005.
He has to be in there.

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

Who does Ricciuto replace though?
Not Judd or Ablett.
Probably should be on a HFF instead of Johnson perhaps?

This.
Won't get me disagreeing with the selections of Franklin or Riewoldt, but;
4 x AA between 2001-04, no one came close to Tredders in this period as far as CHF's are concerned. Brown did not make one of these AA sides.
Probably should have had a Brownlow Medal in 2004 too.
