In this final decade review episode, Sean is joined by Hannah Pendlebury to talk about the players who defined the decade. While the open and women's division discussions are pretty straightforward, there's some disagreement about who to pick in mixed and plenty of chat about which played shaped the decade in UK ultimate and who might do so going forward. Also Hani moans about losing to draft champion Sean in 2017.
