Was Andrews’ best year. Led the comp in intercept marks, beat his opponent every week, for the team that had the second lowest points against total over 23 games.

Had 2 quieter games coming back from concussion at the end of the year is the only reason why he might have dropped out?

All due respect to weitering and McGovern who are very good players - can’t see how they had a better year.

Ryan’s a joke obviously.

I agree that Andrews should have been in the side. No doubt about it.

But with his best year, this is one of the lowest his polled in coaches votes. Got 50 last year, only 12 this year. Only one metric but its something

 

[Ash1337]

Love all the drama over Ryan. Had a great year as a interceptor and his composure with the ball in the backline was good.

 

[Shinboner roo]

Interviewed every backman except Houston. The AFL are pathetic.

It was so obvious, cringe worthy

 

[Unknown Identity]

Serong on ball? Really?

I don't think he was even the best mid on his own team by years end.

 

[FreoRicci]

Surely Xerri is on the bench

 

[carlton_99]

Disrespectful to the likes of Whitfield and Dale who already couldn’t make it

How is it disrespectful - three talls and three smalls/mid-sized

 

[hamG]

Bizarre coverage fox.

Can I get another 30 minutes of interviews with the other rising stars nominees? Or watch Howey on the couch, lets go longer. ALL NIGHT. Have not even started with the forwards!

He would dominance for the first 15 rounds. Well deserved.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

There needs to be a QLD selector. That televised AA selectors meeting half way through the year where they had Andrews as only a "watch" when he was clearly the best (or at worst second best behind Taylor) key defender in the comp was a shocking miss.

Teams literally plan to play around Andrews these days. To have the stats he does and not get selected at least once over the last two years is pretty rough (last year was a worse miss imo).

The AA selectors gave Brisbane the most spots in the 44, including a most bizarre nomination out of nowhere for Rayner.

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Looks like Heeney will be named in the forward line. I'd prefer if he was named in the midfield when he had that good of a year, have felt the same about Bont in the past.

All six deserved picks. Still think Gawn is the best performing ruck in the comp

For kicking the 47th highest amount of goals for the year?

Well you got the token in Zorko, it seems.

 

[FreoRicci]

No Heeney in the midfield but Daicos? Hahaha this is so VicBias it’s not even funny

You pick the best defenders. Weitering had a great year but not best in the top two for talls or top 6 overall

 

[YeoShuey]

I’m guessing the only reason they are not interviewing Bont now is because he is the AA captain. That sucks.

 

[Grogg]

Surely Xerri is on the bench

Wouldn't bet on it.

 

[Plugger35]

No problem with Gawn getting the AA no.1 ruck gig again, he is a great ruckman and a great character too.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Exactly, I think we're in the same boat. I do not care for it, but he was a top 3 player this season. Can't see him being named on the bench

 

[carlton_99]

Agree to disagree - not every back six only has two talls

 

[Unknown Identity]

Yeah the guy who just won AFL Coaches MVP doesn't deserve a spot in the midfield.

Should have been on ball and Serong to the bench.

 

[LongSerong]

I’m guessing the only reason they are not interviewing Bont now is because he is the AA captain. That sucks.

OR that he's already been interviewed, twice

 

[hoss]

Serong on ball? Really?

I don't think he was even the best mid on his own team by years end.

He was our best midfielder over the course of the season. I don't think they judge it on years end.

Agree, but it's like this every year.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

One thing about daicos on a wing - even selectors of the AA team don't trust him in a contest, and they've spent the year talking him up as a contested player
