Analysis 2023 All Australian Team Awards Night

[g_TRAIN]

got a feeling that Rankine, Rachele and Dawson will be in the AA squad by season's end

Not sure if it will happen or not but its a chance and a good call.

 

[g_TRAIN]

Sheezel won't get in the AA team. They ignored Daicos last year, so they'll ignore Sheezel this year.

Daicos wasn't ignored last year Sinclair was just better as was Saad

 

[Liam Boy]

He also has massive campaigner factor. I’m a huge fan. He’s in my AA team.

Despite Sheezel’s high disposal count and fantasy scores I’ve got him below Sinclair. I’ve watched every North and StK match and I believe Sinclair has him on hurt factor. But I’m biased.

From the Saints Sinclair, Wilkie and Wood.l make my team.

Sheezel's hurt factor is significant, the reason he's playing back there and racking the ball up is because he uses it well and his teammates know it, but he's obviously being graded on a curve as a first year player. Won't get in on stats alone.

Cam Zurhaar could be a chance if he keeps his form up. Seems like the kind of player they normally plop at HFF despite playing midfield most of the year, since he's still kicking goals.

I don’t doubt his hurt factor but I’ve got it below Sinclair. Sinclair runs direct through zones and cuts them apart. He’s a big reason why statistically StK are the best team at moving the footy from D50 to F50 notwithstanding it’s a small sample size.

yeah, I'm not disagreeing. Just saying that I think the gushing about Sheezel is largely because he's so good for a first year player.

 

[Substance]

Don't know about the other ruck chances, but English is reaching his peak again after the injuries derailed his 2021 & 2022.

 

[Nat Fyfe]

English gotta be leading the pack right now, until his traditional concussion he's going to inevitably cop in the next month or two. Richards and Bont the other two at the Dogs who'd be in the mix for the squad so far

 

[Frank Thring]

I’m gonna do that thing where a player in your team plays a great game and so you come on here and make sure everyone know he’s a lock.

Jordan Dawson.

Absolute star. He'd be in my team too

Sinclair and Daicos are the starting HBF’s atm.

Sheezel would be on the bench though imo.

 

[Sphynx]

Sheezel won't get in the AA team. They ignored Daicos last year, so they'll ignore Sheezel this year.

Small sample size, but Sheezel is around 20% better in just about every department so far comparing their first years.….

 

[mattwa]

Tim English is by far the best ruck this year. Him and Bont are locks for the team so far

 

[Apex36]

Small sample size, but Sheezel is around 20% better in just about every department so far comparing their first years.….

Statistically, you’re probably right, but worth noting that Collingwood were a very low possession side last year.
Cheezels is a beauty though, already twice the player JHF is.

[Juddernaut08]

Zuhaar isn’t being spoken about like he should. He’s almost going at 20 disposals and 2 goals per game. If the ump pays the free he should have he had 9 shots on goal yesterday.

He’s also attending centre bounces and just generally dominating.

yeah he was like a prime dusty last night, but stronger and a bit less polished

 

[The Nostradamus]

yeah he was like a prime dusty last night, but stronger and a bit less polished

Will be watching closely to see if zurhaar can keep up this form

He usually starts the season slow so this is very promising and could bode well for a HFF AA spot

 

[Atomboy]

Callum Wilkie must be in the AA team.

Unbelievable he is

 

[danster168]

Happy for Sheezel to be named in the rolling. A couple of Stkilda boys putting their names up but I feel that with their soft draw so far it's a little bit misleading. Anyway, from the dees Oliver is the lock on field spot and fingers crossed Steven May

locks down the FB. Petracca will probably get in also.

Think Oliver makes the squad so far.

But remains behind a few other midfielders.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Reckon the Saints boys are more than deserving of a spot right now. Don't think their form will last through the year but if it does Wilkie Sinclair and Wood absolutely locked in. Suspect only Wilkie and Sinclair make the team in the end.

 

[danster168]

Think Oliver makes the squad so far.

But remains behind a few other midfielders.

I think now that he's chipping in for a goal a game (which was his main criticism) then you could argue he's having a career season (admittedly 3 games in). Also, we all know that when push comes to shove there's just no chance Oliver doesn't make the team. the best contested ball player in the history of afl. he's been great so far in 2023. Yes, he's my display pic so I'm biased but the odds of him making it would be $1.05.

Only injury could stop Oliver making it. He's the best player in the AFL and would be 1st picked by every club.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

He may well be the best player in the game week to week but zero chance he’s picked 1st by every club with dominant forwards like Cameron and Curnow going around.

 

[#gosaintas]

Fair enough.

 

[Ricmel]

I know what you mean re. Wood. 90 games of OK versus 4 games of great. But gee he looks a completely different player. If this is his new normal then he is probably the best winger in the AFL right now.
