As for J Daicos I don't see what other people see - I only hear hype. Is he in the best 22 players this year as a midfielder - No. If there was a AA 2nd team he'd be in it.
Correct

If the AA selectors pick wingers on the wing, he's on a wing.
Gulden v Martin for the other one.

in a year where there are some strong fresh faces for the middle, and some darlings on the cusp, they may go weak and pop some on the wing instead

But Josh is the best wingman in the game and a tidy HF presence. Gun player who is less hype and more living in the shadow of younger brother

When have the All-Australian selectors ever picked wingmen to play on the wing? Last year Touk Miller and Callum Mills were a wingmen. What makes you think this year will be different?
 
I know no weeks have passed since I've put Weitering's name up as one for the watchlist, but new data has emerged that showcases that we need to as a BigFooty collective move forward from that stage, and instead have him locked in at full back. 10% loss rate, how can you go past that? Unless you are an anti-science weirdo and have no clue what you're talking about, Weitering must be in your side.
I think as a pure full back, you are correct. It’s one position whereby this stat should have the heaviest weighting.
 
Weitering is underrated, it's true. Has been all year. Hard to see them going past intercept darlings Andrews and Moore though for the key position spots. In theory one could be a third tall, but unfortunately I doubt they use % contests lost for AA.

media has pushed the conversation a bit, and they tend to wag the dog a little.

i also think Daicos, Gulden and Martin's form have been hard to ignore
reckon we'll see a mid or two on HF and 2 proper wingers this year
 
Typical. Kid spends all year being criticised for “inflating his stats” from kick ins by idiots, and then when he proves he can do it in the middle with no kick ins the same idiots come out with “It’S OnLy TwO wEeKs”.
I have always been a huge critic of Diacos but since he went to the midfield I can now say that Im on the bandwagon. Hopefully he gets to continue in the midfield, sending him back to hb would be a waste.

Other thing is who is a wingman. Is Josh Kelly a wingman? Is Noah Anderson a wingman? Is Dan Houston a wingman. I've seen all of them play there at some stage.
 
Well then if I was selecting specialist wingmen I'd be looking at Gulden and Kelly over J Daicos and Martin in terms of quality but Kelly hasn't played enough games in my opinion for AA this year. I'm happy to go with Anderson and Dawson even though they aren't full-time wingmen.
He’s played 11 to date so if he sees the season out it would be enough perhaps

Joel Corey and Joel Selwood used to rotate through the wing. So it has some legitimacy depending on the midfield set up and rotations. Rightly or wrongly midfielders that are more outside runners/silk at least seem a better fit than a Taranto type. But from memory they don't really even discriminate like that. Kelly and Anderson would seem like candidates but not if being stricter on the interpretation.
 
Isaac Quaynor again excellent tonight. Was very good earlier in the season as the lockdown role but every week seems to be getting better adding more intercepts, link up play and disposals. Dude is an attacking Starcevich.
