Obviously not this year, but over the years both pavlich and cousins made aa teams when their clubs finished bottom 4.
ricciuto has made quite a few aa teams from a bottom 6 team.
there are plenty of examples.

Matthew Pavlich.
There are not enough players from my team. I should know how good they are, because I see them every week.
Am I doing it right?
Srsly, having not watched as many non-Geelong games as other years I probably can't comment too much, except to perhaps say Enright maybe a bit lucky this year (had a couple of bags kicked on him). Mackie lucky too, but is not the spud he is being made out to be. Had a solid year in an at times pretty iffy Geelong backline. Selwood's best year. A few quiet games here and there, but has had his best year and kicked goals as well.
Yeah, Cameron FF is perhaps a little bit of AFL wanting to pump up GWS, but honestly to almost grab a Coleman in a side that gets so few I50s and won only one game all year I think it is deserved. He's a darn good player.
I'd maybe have Pendles in the guts instead of on the wing. About time Mitchell got a gig, always uses the ball well. Nick Riewoldt really stiff I recon. No second ruck either, although I suppose Roughead would do a good job there.

Haha. Reminds me of the Victorian teams of the 80s - basically picked Hawthorn and Essendon sides with a few other to fill. Wasn't the worst policy either!

I looked at the list of midfielders nominated and had Watson ahead of Swan/Dangerfield/Boak and Hanneberry. Dangerfield and Hanneberry were inconsistent - there was a big gap between their best and his worst - Swan got lots of the ball, but was well down on scoring involvements. And Boak didn't have the same influence as Watson.

Seriously.
Barlow had a better year than Fyfe, and he wasn't even named in the squad.

Looking at the team: swap Cloke for Nick Riewoldt and Cameron for Roughead at FF (nitpicking there) and it's probably about right.
Enright wasn't All Australian last year. I think 5 consecutive by Enright was quoted by the panel. Just shows how clueless they are
I tend to agree with this in general. Although Cameron did very well to kick that many goals in a poor team, he did nothing else. Riewoldt and Kennedy offered so much more than just kicking goals

Doubt you will find any Freo supporter who agrees with that and they would know, not to mention Fyfe is ahead in pretty much every media/AFL award there is

The only really glaring difference for me is in rebound 50s. Mackie wins a lot of the other key statistics. Yeah, yeah, I know there's more than statistics to go by, but unless you're a Swans or Geelong supporter, you probably haven't watched a whole lot of either of them play or if you have you haven't paid particular attention to either of them.

How did Michael Johnston get selected - he has one strike before his name.

I watch all the games and feel that Barlow's season has been under-rated. Fyfe started off slowly and improved over the course of the season. Would you agree that Barlow has been better than Mundy ?
I guess that Barlow will be top 3 in the B and F.
Who do you think will win Essendon's B and F.
love your work.
Can't believe the panel had the nerve to mention Watson's handling of a difficult year. Totally irrelevant and enough of this Essendon hero worship in general for "handling things well", it was all bought on themselves. Based on the panel members' tv/radio commentary throughout the season, at least 3 of them are not very bright
Drug cheat, Johnno on the recreational stuffHow did Michael Johnston get selected - he has one strike before his name.

Well, that was a recreational drug not a performance enhancing one. Or did I get something wrong?

Collingwood played in the prelim in '07 and didn't have one player selected AA.

Just had a look, they do read similar but Hibberd is winning all of the key ones.
Disagree. Swan is phenomenal. May have been an average year (meaning normal but not greay) by his standards, but still very very good. I don't think he should be measured against his personal best, rather should be measured against others' years. I can't think of a player who should be in before him
