POLL: Canberra Raiders 2010s Team of the Decade: Fullback

[The Nickman]

You can’t pick Wighton for five eighth or CNK for fullback in team of the decade after each playing one season there!

That’s just absolute ludicrousness

[The Nickman]

And if we’re being honest the same rule applies to Campo, so Blake Austin should really be our five eighth of the decade too

And let’s face it, he clocked off in his last season with us and stunk the joint up, but the three or four years before that we all loved him

[gangrenous]

Says you, lucky you don’t make the rules.

It’s no more silly than forced picking a team full of lesser players because more of their career fits into the decade.

You can when it was far and away the best season of said decade.

How many years of mediocrity outweighs the one year of quality actually produced on this imaginary scale?

You’ve outlined exactly why you can! The 5/8th spot has been basically an out and out disaster all decade. It’s picking between the the best of 3 one year wonders and if that’s my choice, I’ll go with the guy who won the CCM thanks

Fullback... despite Dugan being a loathsome character and Milford hailing on us... we’ve had quality play at that position for most of this decade

[GreenMachine]

Jack or CNK.

I can’t stomach the other two doughnuts.

[Ruben Daley]

grim scenes

It's honestly probably Milford or Dugan... their highs were INCREDIBLY high... i mean for Dugan, the first 18 months or so he was just the apple of all our eyes and rightfully so, that was a supremely talented kid who rolled into FG and took big Dave Taylor over the sidelines in a meaningless game just to win a footy game
He was tough, skillful and living up to all the hype... i would say it's not him because he **** on the club in a way that can not be forgotten

Milford was a superior talent, like this is a guy who was Ponga before anyone knew who Ponga was. The most talented footballer i've ever seen. I say it all the time, but ill never forgive the Broncos for what they have turned him into. And although he left, he never did the club dirty, he played out his contract, gave his absolute all in every game he played and single handedly won us footy games and gave us hope at a time where there wasn't much

I dont think CNK has played enough footy for us to get the gig. And Wighton probably needs to be held out here for the 5/8th role given the absolute **** **** show we'll be looking at for that position without him.

Your Dugan and Milford assessments are spot-on. At times, my enjoyment of watching them play was about as high as it has been for anyone.

Well let's just name our 2019 team and move on then, shall we??

Yeah nobody has been consistent enough in these spots to get them with longevity being a factor, so we go with highest peak IMO. To be fair that's how I would always decide a team of the decade. Fensom was here for 7 years of the decade but there's no way he is a factor in my backrow.

As a deciding factor, I think longevity should come into it, but not the primary factor.

Hold on, Pelo isn’t on the list?!

[greeneyed]

Hold on, Pelo isn’t on the list?!

With five first grade games, one at fullback, he doesn’t qualify.

[Matt]

I've changed my vote to Jack, coz no way CNK should win.
All 3 of the other guys are better, even if fans don't like/ hate 2 of them.

[greeneyed]

Could lead to the unusual outcome that Jack Wighton misses the team!

CNK is good, but agree, I'd pick Dugan, maybe even Milford, in front of him.

[Botman]

haha this is a mess.
People just changing their votes now because they dont like the outcomes.

Goodness me

[greeneyed]

People are permitted to re-vote...

Cheers for that, dubs.

You have already stated who you think should be the winner as have many others.
Most of those commenting have said there are 3 guys worthy, TBF, most hate 2 of those 3, yet the 4th bloke is winning.
Is that right?

[Toviii]

Didn’t Reece Robinson have at least one full season for us at fullback??

Actually he probably had far more games on the wing and I hope he is considered for that award

[greeneyed]

56 of his 83 games on the wing. Played 27 games at fullback... could qualify in the fullback poll, but I thought the claims of others were stronger... and he was more a winger. Played most of those in 2013.

If people want him at fullback... just post that vote in this thread.

[The Nickman]

I'll have Reece Robinson, thanks Ferg.

In my memory - noting this could be very flawed - Reece Robinson played some really good footy at fullback in 2012 when we were killing it and Dugan was injured. I remembered it as his best position and, in fact, thinking he added more creatively to the backline than Dugan and it was a shame when he had to go back to the wing where he was far less impactful.

Also, did Dimitri Pelo really play a game at fullback?! If so, I will use this as my benchmark when people ask me what the all-time low for the Raiders was.

[SeeBee101]

Wow, can't believe that no one has really voted for Dugan. Besides him being a ****, he is easily one of the best local talents I have seen in my life. He single handily kept us in games during 2010-2012.

[Seiffert82]

Yeah, IMO Dugan is the best fullback we've had this decade. In this sort of poll he clearly suffers from playing in the early part of the decade, in combination with being a total ****. If you could combine him and CNK you'd have the second best fullback in the comp, behind Tedesco. Despite all that, I voted for him.

Anyway, such is life, as Josh Dugan would probably say.

Polls for the starting team will start closing from this Friday, in original order. This will be the first.

We will announce the results for the starting team over the holidays... and we will have bench polls etc after the starting team is finalised. May consider also voting on a top 30 squad as well as a top 17.

[greeneyed]

Poll declared. Jack Wighton has been selected at fullback. Given Wighton is trailing in the polls for five eighth and centre, Wighton will now be unavailable for other positions in the team. All the results: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33793&p=1712110#p1712110

[The Nickman]

Wighton is the correct choice here. Sanity has prevailed.

In your **** stupid face, Botman

[BadnMean]

Why is CNK ahead in the poll?

[-TW-]

Unrecognised bias against CNK

Wighton was ahead in the poll when declared. Votes can still be added or changed, as it is a never ending poll... but the subsequent votes or re-votes don't count.

GE were you seconded to run the 2000 US Presidential Elections?

I literally cannot believe Wighton has made a team of the decade at fullback. Can we do a Matt's matchup between the decade team and the 2019 team at the end? 2019 have the Decade plodders covered fairly easily.
