LOL Richmond

Well we are a team that doesn't rely on one star like Essendon, as you saw last week we also don't require AA players to beat a team that eventually finished 9th.

Face it the laughs this year are on all you hirdnotised Bomber supporters and you actually extended his contract now that is funny.
 
dont rate liberatore and montagna in terms of impact over the whole year. from us i would say all reasonable picks for a squad though would have had Ballantyne over Walters. half way through the year my choices would have only been fyfe and mcpharlin
 
Compare his stats to Dustin Martin's. Tell me why he's had a better season.


I watch games, not a stats sheet. Wells has never been much of an accumulator. I don't think that should count against him (or any player) (within reason) when judging player merits.
 
happy that some of our boys are finally being recognised

clearly hate the tigers- reckon daniel jackson and deledio stiff- cotchin has been a bit off.

andrew mackie?? has he been that good this year or is it reward fro consistency?

Douglas a laugh

Good to see Goldstein get recognised

Wells- already been said

Lack of consistency compared to elite midfielders should definitely count against him when picking him for the AA squad. Wells had a good year but even North supporters should admit he's very lucky.
 
Gibson & Roughead have both been outstanding and deserve to make the final team, despite Gibson's year being not quite as good as his past two (largley because he hasn't had to play a lone hand thanks to Lake's presence) he's still been a rock down back for us.

Mitchell is down on his past couple of years having spent far less time in the center but we've won so many games he probably deserves the inclusion. Not sure his year warrants a spot in the final team though, there are so many other great mids going around competition is very stiff.

Franklin has been extremely patch and has played plenty of downright terrible games. I'm surprised he was nominated but then again its not like there are that many big names tall forwards going around.

Hodge is the real lucky one I feel. He's played some very good games for us but generally I don't feel like his year has been anything special. He's the kind of player though that when he gets the ball you tend to notice it.

Birchall & Bruest would've been locks for the final AA team if Birch hadn't got injured and Bruest's form hadn't abandoned him in the second half.

He won't make the 22 but he's had an excellent year and continues to show you don't need 30 a week to impact games. Granted his last six weeks have probably put him in the selector's minds though.

Could say the same about martin. Martins worst has been worse than wells'
 
From a port point of view Wingard and Boak have been the stand out two. Wingard has been the best true high half forward in the league and should make the 22. Boak will struggle to make it. Might squeeze onto the bench.

Why do you think Boak will struggle?

I will be shocked if he is not in the squad. Has been one of the most consistent midfielders this season and arguably the best 4th quarter player.

also one of the best captains of the year (see Showdown matches). Selwood and GAJ are the two obvious one that are better/on par with Boak in terms of captaincy
