Analysis 2023 All Australian Team Awards Night

[LukeParkerno1]

Martin wasnt close to the best 22 players this year. Faded when it mattered.

Langford didnt. Seems absurd to me that he gets punished for starring in two games out of postion, when others dont even have the capability to do it.

Larkey was better and he doesn’t get the luxury of facing the North spuds

 

[Ray Jay Johnson]

Worst AA team ever. By far.

Wilkie is straight up garbage. Sinclair no better.

Toby Green captain is a joke. Bont vice is an even bigger joke.

Tim English the worst AA ruck in recent memory. Should thank Brodie Grundy for the selection.

Dan Houston is a plodder.

Gulden is straight up average. Ditto Josh Daicos.

The entire bench is disgusting.

Really bad.

Ice cold take after ice cold take in this post.

 

[Hawthorn2023]

I thought Nick Daicos played half back flank?

 

[Mr Meow]

Larkey was a charity inclusion
He kicked most of his goals when the game was over.
Martin would easily be more value to a team this year.

This is an embarrassing take. Might be time for bed.

 

[Engimal v3]

Pretty handy having a 70+ goal forward on the bench!

You take what you can get when you win 3 games for the year haha

 

[Orange crush]

Well deserved by Larkey. Right up there in the Coleman in a team that won 3 games.

Indeed …. His team mates should hang their ****ing heads

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rozee has less goals than Martin...

They always put two extra mids forward so I love it no but Rozee was a moral to be somewhere

 

[IluvHarvey]

Curnow 19 goals vs WCE, Tex Walker 19 goals vs WCE - Larkey 8 goals vs WCE
Get your facts right knobhead

And he doesn’t get to play against North either!

 

[eddiesmith]

How on earth did Rob Findlay get AA field umpire?

Load up on Brisbane for the flag if Findlay is getting the grand final.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Larkey was better and he doesn’t get the luxury of facing the North spuds

Kinda irrelevant considering Larkey should be on field. Rozee and Petracca arent forwards, one of them should be on the bench and Merrett out.

 

[Mr Meow]

86% forward time

For 25 goals. He was borderline for squad and that was based mostly on his last 8 weeks. He was average for most of the season and BOG or close to it in the two dead rubbers to finish it off.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Might be time for bed.

And deprive the rest of us some quality AP melting.
He's filling in for blaisee quite well.

Just shit take after shit take.

Played mid most of the year started HB but he plays everywhere now it’s why he’s so hard to lock down

 

[TheOptimum18]

They always put two extra mids forward so I love it no but Rozee was a moral to be somewhere

But usually the mid-fwds make sense. You can see why they're picked on the HF line, rather than fitting a square peg in a round hole.

 

[HairyO]

Do have to laugh at the idea that Sicily (quality footballer) somehow makes Stewart (5 times the AA as Sic) the budget version.

lol

Stewart hasnt deserved it 2 years in a row. Sicily should have 2 now.

Stewart has been far below Sicily both years, and far below other defenders 2 years in a row.

He is a budget defender, so its probably an appropriate title.

Played mid most of the year started HB but he plays everywhere now it’s why he’s so hard to lock down

Except when tagged he does literally nothing, except when gifted goals by the umpires.

 

[TheOptimum18]

If we're going purely off of goals, should the first 6 players on the Coleman jujst automatically make the AA forward line?

 

[fpm84]

So he plays bruise free football and accumulates easy marks and kicks.
I can't rember him ever taking a pack mark tbh.
He doesn't deserve 5 All Australians, that is a joke.

Stewart ranks as elite among all defenders for spoils, one on ones and contested marks.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rozee is just the spare mid and they always pick one. He was either going to be HF or on the bench what’s the difference? Makes more sense than Larkey on the HFF

 

[Mr Meow]

He plays loose, he don't pick up a player.

Yeah he'd be of much greater value trying to lock down on an average small and getting 11 disposals a game. Geelong's whole defence is zonal. The difference this year is there was a poor midfield ahead of them and a few underperformers in the backline. Stewart performed exceptionally well outside of 2 or 3 games.

 

[kreuze_missile]

How ya doin' there champ? Bit miffed about Weitering???

Weitering didn't deserve it.

Carlton backline doesn't do much thesedays.

Ball never there.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

He played 80% forward time

Tom stewart has more AA’s than dusty now.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

This is an embarrassing take. Might be time for bed.

Your a joke mate, Dusty is a has been. Suck it up princess

Since when were 3 full forwards allowed to make the AA team?
I can understand if it were Lockett, Ablett snr and Dunstall, but not these 3.

 

[Mr Meow]

And deprive the rest of us some quality AP melting.

Just s**t take after s**t take.

blaisee time to stop hiding and face the music.

That's the uneducated viewpoint.
The realist viewpoint is that all 5 are thoroughly deserved, and Sicily should have featured last season.

 

[Grockadoc]

Taranto (a player who is poor by foot and doesn't hurt the opposition) stiff not to make the squad considering a player who went 10% better by foot (for a measly 54%) and kicked 15 less goals makes the actual AA team.
