2009 All-Australian Team

[AG]

If Buddy were to win the coleman He'd be selected, Yet I see what your saying Fev/Buddy(if they win coleman) bench Brown FF Nick CHF?

Yeah. I think Brown and Riewoldt have been too good for the majority of the season. So picking the FF based on the Coleman isn't a good guide. Bench spot to whoever wins it, if they have been good enough though. If one of Fev or Franklin only win it by 2 or 3 goals and I'm tossing up between them and someone like Boyd, I'd lean towards Boyd.

 

[Voldt]

I agree AG. Fev has been way too inconsistent. Brown has kicked more goals then him this season, yet wrackas are alot more disposals and marks and leads from the front instead of sulking to umpires and watching his opponents run off him every match.

Not necessarily - let's not forget that Fraser Gehrig wasn't picked in 2005 when he won the Coleman.

Thats true I doubt Fev will make it if he only kicks a few more goals than Brown as AG said. Yet if Buddy does I reckon he'll find himself a spot because he has still played great this season.

 

[smiddaz123]

Brown's inspirational efforts for his club far outstrip Fevola's season, even if Fev pops through a couple more goals.

Fev might be able to get onto the bench. Brown and Riewoldt are locked in.

it has not been a good year for tall forwards with the exception of riewoldt...dont really know why but maybe the greater use of zones has cut down their effectiveness...fev, brown and franklin have all been really inconsistent so i dont really agree with putting an extra one of fev, brown or franklin on the bench...pick 1 as FF and the rest miss out imo

Brown has been very consistent. Riewoldt and Brown are top 10 players this season.

Brown has been brilliant. Nearly on par with his 2007 season.

ye i do think brown is ahead of the others...but imo there is still another level brown can get to...i might just have high expectations of him but i there have been games when i have been disapointed of his performance

 

[TorresIsGod]

Fev will skipper this side. Mark my words.

 

[smiddaz123]

After Judd got the gig last year, Fev this year wouldn't surprise me

 

[AG]

Fev will skipper this side. Mark my words.

Haha, that would be funny.

Riewoldt (c), Brown (vc) or vice versa.

 

[krisholio14]

OK here's my side.

B: S.Gilbert (SK) M.Scarlett (G) B.Lake (FO)

HB: C.Enright (G) S.Fisher (SK) B.Goddard (SK)

F: P.Chapman (G) J.Brown (B) L.Davis (CO)

Foll: A.Sandilands (FR) C.Judd (CA) G.Ablett (G)

Int (best 4 outside above): D.Swan (CO), N.Dal Santo (SK), S.Black (B), A.Didak (CO)

Unlucky: N.Bock (A), S.Milne (SK), M.Gardiner (SK), M.Clark (B), J.Corey(G).

 

[AG]

Good team, but I still fail to see how Didak warrants selection. I'm starting to think I should have someone ahead of him in the squad.
Corey is an interesting one this year. Has played down a back a fair bit but has been solid as usual.

As you were saying that I was making a couple of adjustments after seeing my side 'on paper'.

Reckon it looks a bit better now.

 

[favourites]

I reckon boyd over didak def.

Also think presti should make it over lake.

But other than that the only other change is maybe NDS on for Selwood. I think NDS has had a better year.

[AG]

Good team. I'd question no Chapman though.

 

[blues_gibbzy]

Good team. I'd question no Chapman though.

Probably take out Fev or Lecras for him.

 

[AG]

McIntosh had another good game and is pushing Jolly all the way. Clark should have a good game against the Collingwood rucks as well.

Foll: Aaron Sandilands, Gary Ablett (jnr), Jimmy Bartel
I/C: Hamish McIntosh, Lance Franklin, Lenny Hayes, Bryce Gibbs

Honarble mentions to Shaun Higgins, Nick Dal Santo, Leon Davis, Alan Didak, Nick Maxwell, Cyril Rioli, Mathew Boyd, Corey Enright, Patrick Ryder, Darren Jolly, Mitch Clark, Steve Johnson

Coleman: Brendon Fevola
Rising Star: Daniel Rich
Brownlow: Joel Selwood
Premeirs: St Kilda


Still cant make my mind up for a few players and will depend on how they run out the season Gibbs and Franklin still shaky at this stage

 

[AG]

4 KP forwards in a year when they have been down? Pavlich very very lucky. As you said Franklin and Gibbs are lucky, but they probably shouldn't be in at this stage. I wouldn't even have Fev in my team. Mackie was good against Hawthorn but hasn't been that good for the whole year. There have been better midfielders than Bartel. I'd pick more players from your honourable mentions.

 

[awesome wells]

id have HMac and Sandi for the rucks... Jolly kinda fell off mid-season

But had a BOG last week and dominated the ruck with 42 hitouts against Carlton.

I think he was making a prediction of what the team might look like at the end of the year, hence why he also predicted the Premiers, Brownlow, Rising star and Coleman.
