great side Aussie Gun, pretty much exactly what I'd have. Only thing I'd do is probably do some shifting around, Goddard->HBF, Presti/Gilbert->Out, Boyd->In (I'm a big fan of Boyd, best player in a very good midfield this year).

Boyd was close and next in line, definitely.

One Essendon player in your whole squad, including the unluckys? Sorry but you are a goose.
Two of the selctors have already hinted that Ryder would be under consideration at the half way point of the season.
I agree that he most likely won't make AA but i think 'he is not even close' is a bit far off the mark.
Cox may begin to fall out of favor as the season draws on if he continues to struggle with injury and or form.

KISS IT.
I had Stanton in contention for most of the year. Dempsey was close for a while. Lovett the only other real chance and I probably should put him in the unluckies. Other than that who else should be in. It's been a pretty even performance from Essendon.

Ryder would be 5th in line, so definitely not no chance. He has been very good with a few outstanding performances, but he didn't play ruck until the ANZAC day clash so he is technically 4 games behind the others.
Yeah 4th-5th in line is probably a fair summation given the fact he is playing catchup.
When is the squad of 40 released? I reckon they would have Lovett in at at this stage. He and Watson would be the only 2 i suspect would be in it so i wouldn't say you are a goose. In fact it is quite the opposite. You know your shit.
Look I know this thread is already full of those who think they have the prettiest girlfriend at home but does anyone who does not go for the Bulldogs rate Ryan Hargrave highly? I could even add Bulldogs fans to that, I find him incredibly underrated.

Black is very unlucky to be in the squad but I fail to see how they should both be in the team. Black has been very good and another good game would see him in the squad, but he struggled for the first few rounds with his fitness due to a poor preseason with injury. I really struggle to see why Swan should be a lock as well. Only Ablett, Scarlett, Johnson and Riewoldt are locks.

I think it was released the Monday or Tuesday after the H&A season finished. Lovett should be in the unlucky category for the midfielders, other than that I think you're right in saying him and Watson are the only ones in contention for the moment. Dempsey, Stanton, Ryder and Winderlich have chances if they finish the season off well.Yeah 4th-5th in line is probably a fair summation given the fact he is playing catchup.

Oh ok. I was under the impression that they also released a list around the half way mark.
This is my team so far, criticise if need be.

Taking the opposite tack of most on here......
I don't see how Sam Fisher is AA this year.

Swan can get the ball but the others you mentioned do more damage with it. I have never rated Swan that highly so he would have to be tearing the house down for me to put him in my side. He has been good so there is nothing wrong with other people selecting him, it's just personally I don't rate him as highly as others. I rate Pendlebury ahead of Swan this season.

He was very good between Rounds 1 - 10, but has since been tagged, by a forward player whose role is not necessarily to kick goals or to set any up, but to nullify Sam Fisher's influence on the game.
Having an opponent who can be dangerous with the ball in his hands means Sam cannot zone off whenever he likes or just run around with no opponent, he has to make the right decisions 9/10 times or else his team could be hurt badly.
Teams who can stop Sam Fisher getting a lot of the ball in their own forward line go along way to creating a good close game with the Saints.

I was thinking that when I did the team. This week it didn't feel like he deserved to be in the team. He had a good start and now has slowed a bit but no one else has really stood out at CHB. As TIG said he is pretty much being tagged out of the game. If Bolton hadn't been injured he would have been CHB by now. Bock will probably have it in a few weeks.
Scotty McMahon, Gibbo and Big Hamish
I think porps and bock would be our contenders at the moment. Not sure if they could be squeezed in though.

Gibson has been impressive and doesn't seem to be getting recognition for a good season. McIntosh is right in the mix for the ruck spots.Scotty McMahon, Gibbo and Big Hamish
Yep, Edwards and Thompson a chance for the midfield spots.

Taylor Walker makes my side. He's a freak.
Thompson would almost make my side, Bock would be close but there's a few ahead of him in my opinion.
