Preview 2010 All Australian Awards.

[mattys123]

Tonight the 2010 AFL All-Australian Awards are held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

After the debacle that was MVP night, where it was almost impossible to get live updates, other then off twitter (which really sucked) it's nice to see the AFL have a live chat up and going for tonight.

LIVE CHAT from 6.30pm.

The Collingwood players nominated are Harry O'Brien, Dane Swan, Darren Jolly, Scott Pendlebury and Alan Didak.

Of the 5 nominees, I can see 3 making the side, maybe 4.

Swan, Didak and Pendlebury have to be in the final 22, while Harry O'Brien's stocks have risen over the past few weeks.

Below are the 40 nominations, of which 22 will be named, and 1 will be named Captain.

The selection panel is;

The selection panel, comprising of Demetriou, Adrian Anderson, Kevin Bartlett, Gerard Healy, James Hird, Glen Jakovich, Mark Ricciuto and Robert Walls, finalised the squad on Tuesday.

Good 4 names in the middle, Healy, Roo, Hird and Jakovich, with 4 absolute morons surrounding them.

How does that Knob Anderson on the Panel as he knows F**k all about footy

 

[Pies_10]

What the f*** does Adrian Anderson know about football, let alone be the second to Demetriou.

 

[Pies_10]

Wanna watch it on foxsports but its so delayed.

Also theres a few players that are in there only based on reputation rather than this years performances.
Fletcher, Enright, Dal Santo, and James Kelly.

 

[BEEG]

To be fair James Kelly has had a ripper year and i would say equal to Thomas but doesnt deserve to be in the 22

 

[macca_2111]

Anywhere u can watch or listen live?

 

[mattys123]

Anywhere u can watch or listen live?

Doesn't seem like it, the best option seems to be SEN (updates) or the live AFL chat.

It's an AFL event, so far it's running on time according to AFL time (despite being 30 minutes behind already).
