[Fitzey]

Very well deserved to all the players.

 

[PTizzle]

Sauce?

 

[timtamWB]

LIBBA WUZ ROBBED!

 

[ImperialPurple]

Top 4 have 5 players each. Too top heavy or about right? I'm thinking it's about right, and the reason why the top 4 are where they are.

 

[God Save Max King]

Libba & Rance both deserved to be in the squad. Same can be said for Rockliff. Buddy overrated + Mackie didn't deserve it as much as Morris.

Rockliff beats Wells every time and Sloane has been terrific.

 

[Big Trozza]

Buddy Franklin????


Another classic example of someone getting in on reputation over actual performance.

Don't sell your own team short. Montagna should be in as well.

 

[kierez4ever]

No Richmond lol

but yeh Rance was a bit stiff, not many KPDs were in the squad

 

[Jobe Watson]

Hibberd?

 

[Fitzey]

Chris Mastin could be also a little stiff.

 

[calyam]

Can't help but think that Hibberd was robbed of a spot in the squad.

Some effort of Richmond to finish fifth without any great players. Bizarre that they didn't get at least one nomination.

 

[BM123]

No Walker or Hibberd ?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Joey Montagna very stiff not to get in the squad.

 

[kierez4ever]

Buddy Franklin????

it's all reputation. cyril must have been a bit stiff...

 

[NarniMagic]

Great to see Scott Thompson and Wellsy get in! They've both been stars of ours for years and this year they're finally starting to get media attention. Thompson is a lock I think, and Wells might be an outside chance, although probably won't quite make the final team.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Hibberd stiff.

 

[Loonerty]

Hanley the most glaring omission I think.

Pretty bemused that Hibberd and Carlisle didn't even get a look in.

 

[FrancisX]

Richmond fans won't be happy - apart from them the figures per team is about right - interesting how many players Nth had

 

[skipper kelly]

End of the year form > Start of the year form.

 

[StringyDog]

Pretty bemused that Hibberd and Carlisle didn't even get a look in.

Happens every year selectors rate second half year form greater than first half as it's fresh in their memories and as these two trailed off it's not that great a surprise, same with Walker. God knows how they came up with Franklin though.

 

[lewigie]

Congrats McKenzie on AA full back

Carlisle shouldn't have made it, but Hibberd should've, he hasn't tailored off at all.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Good to see boak and wingard in the squad

For the 40 man squad about right.
