Prediction 2019 All Australian Team - Hurn, Yeo, Darling and Gov Named

[CM9000]

Here's a thread for discussion about the 2019 AA team.

Seven of our players have been named in the All Australian squad, which is the most of any team in the squad:
* Elliot Yeo
* Shannon Hurn
* Luke Shuey
* Jeremy McGovern
* Brad Sheppard
* Andrew Gaff
* Jack Darling

Out of our players, I reckon Yeo, Sheppard, McGovern and Darling will definitely make the squad, while Shuey and Hurn are chances. Hopefully Luke makes the final 22, though.

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

I think four - Yeo, Shepherd, McGovern and Darling.

 

[Inside Bull]

I don't know what it is but I just can't differentiate between any of their chances. Each player deserves a spot in the 40 but you could find an excuse to leave any of them out. By the same token I would not be surprised any of them made it.

Yeo would probably be my first choice given he would probably be leading the B & F while Gaff might be the last choice due to the start of his season but other than that it should be a good thing to watch the final jumper presentation

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Yeo & Shep the only ones that make it in the final team for me. The others too inconsitent

Darling clearly the best CHF in the comp IMO.
Gaff rates elite in kicks, disposals and marks.

Both are locks I reckon.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Yeo & Shep the only locks. Darling & Hurn possible.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

I'd be surprised if we get 4. Disappointing that Hurn's form has just dropped off in the last month and it'll cost him another jersey probably. Would love to see Shep getting rewarded with his stellar year.

Is Shuey the most underrated mid in our team?

 

[hudson2006]

Well done Darling, has kicked equal third most goals for a key forward along with Tom Lynch.

Interesting that Lynch isn’t in the squad while Hawkins is.

 

[Gods_Son23]

Didn't Lynch take half the season to get going? I remember criticism about his early form?

Correct on that

Eagles in the AA Squad

Sheppard feels like the most worthy as he has played shut down roles as well as provided great rebound from HBF. Sheppard with Grimes and Stewart would be my general defenders. Hurn only played 19 games so missed 3 which hurts.

McGovern has been at times inconsistent and trying to be objective, I see Talia and Andrews having better years. If we are selecting a third tall defender, I'd go Blicavs and only go 1 ruck.

If they are going true wingers, then only Gaff, McCluggae and Macrae have played that role so Gaff has a decent chance. Macrae has played more inside (like Gaff) but McCluggage has got 22 goals from the wing so will be interesting. A tight call. I would probably not include Gaff as teh other 2 have greater hurt factors.

The inside mids are tough to get into. I would personally pick Yeo as he is the man of any position and leads the midfield tackle count meaning he is one of the few AA listed that can play accountable midfield. Fyfe, Treloar, Neale and Cunnington would have to be locks. Shuey had some brilliant quarters but like a number of Eagles, too often went cold for a quarter or so.

Darling has had a great year and will be a close call. J Cameron and Brown are locks and assuming only 1 ruck (I'd go Grundie), Jack's forward rucking might be enough.

If treloar or Cunnington make it over shuey . Shuey should be a lock, is coming 5th in the aflca.

That

Was thinking 7 got into the squad predominately based on last year.

Darling is in the squad over two years but i dont think will make the final cut.

Yeo and shep fully deserve it

 

[JEagle]

Shuey is a lock for me. Big game player.

 

[Luuuc]

Honestly I think the closest thing to a lock is Shep. He has been superb all season. He seems to fly under the radar outside of WA though so I'm not confident even in his spot, but fingers crossed because IMO he has dominated his position about as well as anyone in the league.

22 places available, and 18 teams worth of candidates. That's not a lot of wiggle room for inconsistency. They will probably find a spot for another Eagle but I'd be surprised if we got more than 2 in the side.

Hurn was killing it and looking like AA Captain until the injury

 

[Asapartyhat]

Surprised we have seven players in the squad .Mostly interested to see if Shep makes the team.From my limited understanding of statistics he seems well down on turnovers and clangers compared to others in the squad but I'm not sure if being very efficent and dependable is sexy enough for an AA.

 

[Gods_Son23]

1st for marks is Shep

 

[avishka5]

Apparently a star Eagle is overlooked.

First thought is Gov.

 

[Chris_6678]

I’m thinking Darling.

 

[Chris_6678]

Sounds like Shep and Shuey were overlooked.

 

[Mulldogg]

 

[Mulldogg]

Gotta feel for Shepp. Man that guy is still chronically underrated!

 

[WCEbrody]

Wait,so the other 5 are in the final team? That's crazy, especially for someone like Gaff.
