2009 All-Australian Team

[LoveLeon]

Gilbert Presti Lake

Enright Scarlett Goddard

Dalsanto Judd Montanga

OKeffe Riewoldt Chapman

Lecras Brown Davis

Sandilands Ablett Swan

Selwood Hayes Didak Boyd



Emergency Mcintosh Goodes Johnson

Jolly is stiff, but McIntosh probs just ahead. No back up ruckman on the bench? Steve Johnson has to be in the team too.

AussieGun, Didak has been inconsistent, but on his day, which he has proved 5 or 6 times this season, he is amongst the best matchwinners in the game, with Ablett, Judd, Davis and Goodes (who must be bench at least).

I know I'm singling out Pies, but Pendlebury > Boyd by a mile this season, not even questionable.

Presti = arguable, he has been highly overrated by our supporters this season... He's been good, but maybe put Scarlett at FB and take Fisher or (possibly) Bock to CHB.

There have been 4 top sides in the comp this year, and the team should naturally include many Pies, Cats, Saints and Dogs.

Awesome working AG! It's a tough thing to do, but that's the best side I've seen in a while I reckon.

Just a small thing though, you have McIntosh listed under unlucky when he's in squad, nothing major

 

[blues4flag]

ablett might get a lot of hand ball received but he is also leading in hard ball gets

The stat doesn't distinguish between loose ball and hard ball gets.

Yeah, not sure. He has had the best form patch of any player this year but I still think he is behind others.

I know I'm singling out Pies, but Pendlebury > Boyd by a mile this season, not even questionable.[/quote]I'd say questionable. I think Boyd and Montagna have been the most consistent players this year. Boyd probably lacks the class of others but you can't really fault him this season. He should romp home the Dogs B & F.

He is in the squad and an emergency for my actual side.

EDIT: Haha, I completely misread that post. I haven't really taken much notice of the unluckies. Some of them, like Tredrea probably aren't unlucky anymore, they just have no chance.

Q. Lynch 31st for hard ball gets. Anyone else have a quiet chuckle to themselves when reading this.

Haha, just in case we assumed you meant snr. Pretty good team though. I would only question the 4 KP players in the forward line.

 

[Thorgils]

Yeah I thought about that too, proberly Davis to forward pocket and Pavlich to bench would be most realistic AA I could manage.

 

[Leapingleobarry]

I wouldn't haVE Pavlich in the side. He has been my dream team captain all year and I have been let down badly. In all seriousness, it is a little top heavy up forward. If it happens to rain for the hypothetical game the All Australian team play, it could be an issue.

[Richo83]

It may for Fevola but not Pavlich, people watching freo this year would notice that a) he's playing in the midfield/HFF/CHF/FF position alot this year, b) he doesn't need a bag to be influential and c) he's getting alot of touches, while running forward and kicking goals.

you telling me bartel has had a better year than judd?? judd by how far!!!

 

[Thorgils]

not only that he's seen to be a bit of a favorite with the judging panel, and looking at his output from last year not a lot has changed in his stats.

I think he'll be in despite how top heavy he makes the forwards he'll be named on the bench just like last year.
