2013 All Australian Team Announcement

[God Save Max King]

At least 40% of his game time this year

I could name many that have played that position for longer and have played better. Too many midfielders.

 

[bjgoddard18]

Can we really define the difference between FF and CHF these days? Teams have key forwards and most rotate around the F50, even up to the wing.

I think there's a pretty clear difference. Q's role at collingwood was similar to Dawes when he was there which was to lead up high around the ground and not play particularly deep. Cloke played FF this year and should of been named there

 

[Munga]

It really does get worse every year.

 

[youngbear]

Pyke?

5th... If Pyke is a Ruck, then so is Roughie.

I love Pyke, but best work is near goal (and that means either end)

 

[The King!]

Garbage, they both played a similar role...

I was stiring Sorry, but I would have mitchell in but i honestly thought it would be in the middle

 

[Spitta09]

They both played half back all year...

Mitchell certainly wasn't. Maybe at the start of the season

 

[The King!]

5th... If Pyke is a Ruck, then so is Roughie.

I love Pyke, but best work is near goal (and that means either end)

Pyke..... I love him but yeah mumford still ahead of him as a ruck

 

[timtamWB]

Fyfe, Boak, Riewoldt, Watson would be my bench.

 

[QuietB]

Agree Jack should be on the bench, Wingard HFF and another small in the FP. Need a genuine stay at home small forward.

Who though?

 

[b0ydman]

wingard?

yeah, do the numbers you spud

 

[Butler]

Mitchell certainly wasn't. Maybe at the start of the season

Yes he was.

 

[Hodge is God]

Mitchell certainly wasn't. Maybe at the start of the season

Must of missed his last game than.

 

[SSSSSS]

7 in a row for GAJ.

 

[I am Jack]

So Hawthorn are pretty shit because one of their best players of the season has had an average year?

No, Hawthorn are a GREAT side and Hodge is a great leader and a good player.
I don't take that into account, I take into account the players not yet picked and whether I'd pick Luke Hodge above them based on just a solid year.
For example, would I take Luke Hodge ahead of Nat Fyfe this year? Not a chance.

 

[youngbear]

Daylight will be on the bench

Both of the Daylight brothers I hope.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Mcveigh played half back most of the year, mitchell there is a joke

Mitchell like McVeigh is a midfielder who has spent most of the year playing off a HBF.

Both deserving. Only difference is you are a Sydney supporter who doesn't watch other teams.

 

[Hodge is God]

Fyfe, Boak, Riewoldt, Watson would be my bench.

You would think at least one defender wouldn't you?

 

[The Passenger]

So for the only changes I would have made was pearce hanley for mitchell (mitchell on my bench) and nick riewoldt for travis cloke. considering hanley didn't even make the 40 man squad that obviously wasn't going to happen. would have still had andrew walker over mitchell.

the two AA teams i saw in papers today didn't feature dan hannebery. i think he is one that really should have been in there. only the bench to go.

actually also wouldn't have had keiran jack on the hff. would have lindsay thomas in pocket and wingard up on the flank. thought wingard was gonna get snubbed which would have been a travesty.

would have had hannebery on the wing, pendles ruck rover with swan, jack, mitchell and fyfe bench.

the whole cameron/roughhead FF/FP debate. meh. whatever.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Pyke?

Roughead in the forward pocket mean Pyke wont get a gig

 

[Magma]

yeah, do the numbers you spud

i was wondering why he wasn't on the half forward line, but nice try

 

[BEEG]

Told you all for weeks Cloke would be AA people doubting him do not know football

 

[RickSanchez]

Fyfe won't get a spot.

 

[timtamWB]

Captain choices?

Should go with Ablett (c) selwood (vc). They pick themselves.

 

[Suma Magic]

Who though?

Thomas or Motlop ahead of Walters.

 

[Gibbsy]

You would think at least one defender wouldn't you?

Or Lindsay Thomas surely
