2024 AFL Awards Season... + Brownlow

[cats_09]

It's that time of year again and with what seems like a dozen plus awards it seems to work with keeping discussion in a centralised location

Yesterday it was the announcement of the AA Squad with Jezza, Holmes & Stengle named in the original 40 man squad

Today it's the nominees for the AFLPA Awards; Jezza Cameron, Max Holmes & Tom Stewart have been recognised by their peers for their 2024 seasons by being nominated for the AFL Players Most Valuable Player Award.

The winner of the coveted prize will be announced on Thursday 29 August.




I know there's already been thread a thread discussing the AA Squad - I'm merging it in here to have all this talk centralised to one, easily locatable thread

Congrats to Jez, Max and Tyson for their excellent seasons

I think Tyson is a lock for the final team, Jez’s final game might sneak him ahead of Curnow in the final team, and Max might miss out this year but hopefully lots of AA recognitions ahead.

AA SQUAD REVEALED: Lions, Dockers dominate, big Pie named

Brisbane and Fremantle are the best represented clubs in the 44-man All-Australian squad

Serious non-Vic bias going on here.

How did freo get five players? Brisbane also have 5 and blues 4.

Did they put together this squad 4 weeks ago?

And thus the legendary run of tom stewart in the all australian team ends

There are some shockers. Some absolute shockers. From Geelong alone Cameron should not be in the squad, Joe Danniher, Jason Horne Francis, cam rayner, Brent Daniels. Some genuinely horrible selections

 

[petrolium]

Thought Dempsey was a shot for the AA extended squad but otherwise I think our selections were to be expected.

Second in the Coleman and played a fair bit of the season on the wing and he doesn’t deserve a spot in the squad???

Kicked bags against the shit teams and had some absolute shocking games

 

[magic_johnson!]

I didn’t expect either Holmes or Cameron to be honest.

Sure but which KPFs other than maybe Hogan and Larkey have been consistent against good teams? He shits in a spot in the squad on both performance and versatility even if he doesn’t make the team IMO?

Curnow

Curnow

Yeah fair, I thought Curnow had been beating up on poor teams but looking at his stats he has been very consistent. Cameron still clearly in the top few enough to warrant inclusion in the squad if not the team IMO.

Happy for Cameron to make the squad but if he makes the final 22 it’s on previous seasons and no one really dominating like
Previous years

 

[stac]

Tough and not a balanced team but it never is
Plenty of Half Backs to fit in

B. Zorko. Andrew’s. Sinclair
HB. Whitfield. Weitering. Blakey
C. Gulden. Neale. Trelloar.
HF. Heeney. Cameron. Curnow
F. Stengle. Hogan. Daicos.
M. Gawn. Bont. Cripps(c).

Bench. Xerri. Butters. Sheezel. Merrett

Brett Daniels has had an awesome year. I’d be shocked if he isn’t in the final team.

 

[Tony Barber]

Serious non-Vic bias going on here.

Interstaters have been the best teams for 80% of the year.

 

[Tony Barber]

And as completely stupid as I think the AA captain has been over the past 5 years or so. I think it will be fixed this year with Cripps.

 

[Warhorse]

Brett Daniels has had an awesome year. I’d be shocked if he isn’t in the final team.

Statistically not much different to Miers who should also be nowhere near the team

He wasn’t AA in 2020 either - so his AA run has already been interrupted

 

[Wojcinski]

I still think about how we traded pick 20 in 2021 for our future first to Richmond. It ended up being pick 17 and they used it to select Tom Brown (lol)

So let me get this right the team in 1st has 4 the teams 2-4 each have 3 but somehow the team in 5th gets 5 the team in 8th has 4 and the team in god damn 10th has 5.

****ing unreal.

And if you haven't noticed the ladder went berserk all year.
