A highlight of the 60th Anniversary celebrations will be the announcement of the Men’s & Women’s ‘Teams Of The Decade’ on Mon 24th April – the night before Anzac Day. This will be the Sixth Shark’s Men’s TOTD covering the period: 2013 – 2022.
Below is the squad from which the men's team will be selected.
The Women’s ‘Team of the Decade’ will be their inaugural 'Team of the Decade' and covers the six years since they commenced. This way the Men’s and Women’s teams will now be in sync and announced together every ten years.
For the record here’s a list of the ‘Best & Fairest’ and ‘Runners Up’ winners in the Decade:
2013 - Matt Petering/Tom Dean
2014 - Rob Cathcart/Matt Petering
2015 - Tom Dean/Jack Gabron-Uhe
2016 - Matt Petering/Tom Dean
2017 – Scott Gower/Ben McLean
2018 – Lewis Diggins/Ben McLean
2019 – Cal Heath/James Taylor
2020 – no season
2021 – Scott Gower/Lewis Diggins
2022 - Jak Nardino/Connor Murphy
Women:
2017 – Courtney Bateman/Alana Gadsby
2018 – Nadia Eldred/Emma Baker
2019 – Sarah Collins/Sasha Long
2020 – no season
2021 – Caley Ryan/Amelia Bartlem
2022 – Rosie Byrne/Sarah Collins
The Men’s selectors – Jason Mifsud, Craig Tonkin, Brayden Haynes, Adam Schneider, Bluey McKenna & ‘Choco’ Royal – are still robustly debating the last few positions in the final team and as usual it is the last half dozen spots that are hard to choose.
Good luck to the players and the selectors.
Go Sharks!
