Be part of choosing the Collingwoodfc.com.au FANS’ CHOICE TEAM OF THE DECADE for 2000-2009.
Over the next few weeks Collingwoodfc.com.au will be polling supporters to find out who they think belong in Collingwood’s Team of the Decade.
The time frame for players to be considered in Collingwood's Team of the Decade ranges from 2000 to 2009.
After last week's overwhelming support for the defenders, this week fans will be asked to mark their top six midfielders for the Collingwoodfc.com.au Fans' Choice Team of the Decade.
Every player who has played 45 AFL matches (during this time period) or more has been considered in the list of candidates. Also, players who have received club or league honours have been listed.
Once the defenders, midfielders and forwards have been voted on, the four players who received the highest number of votes outside of the top six will be named on the interchange.
