All Australian - 40 man squad on page 89

[Pessimistic]

Brownlow medallist and Norm smith medallist not in this team

Mitch in Rioli out - in fact it should be Jetta in

 

[MC_9]

Mitchell very very unlucky again.

 

[Gibbsy]

"can't have all the same types of players on the interchange if we're building a realistic team"

Aren't they 4 midfielders? WTF?

 

[vast]

Lol why are they in this hall? Why are they getting drilled as soon as its announced.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Nic Nat and Rioli?????

 

[smoovy]

Naitanui has had a similar year to Jacobs and Maric. If he didn't have to share the load with Cox he would EASILY be the number 1 ruck

Well that is just too bad. Stunning decision.

 

[Hodgepodge]

He is now going down as the most overrated player to ever play the game. He is living off the Rioli name. He is not even half the player Maurice Rioli was.

How is being rated by experienced AFL ex-players and legends an example of overrating? I know when people of the ilk of Gerard Healy and Kevin Bartlett's opinion differ from yours I will eschew yours every time.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Good team so far, great to see Dempster rewarded for a great year.

Showing again how clueless you are, he finished third in our B&F for a reason.

Yeah? Where's Danny Stanley or Tom McDonald or Pearce Hanley or Matthew Broadbent or Ivan Maric? All finished 3rd in the b&f.

The ****'s taken some good intercept marks that he never usually does but possesses zero creativity. One of the most ordinary players ever to be named.

Anyway Deledio got a gig on the bench, so I'm satisfied.

 

[JimmySwanny]

Well deserved kennedy and deledio. I'm still puzzled too how jetta didn't make it ahead of rioli. Mind boggling, typical bias from the media.

 

[Gibbsy]

Lol Glass captain this'll get everyone going

 

[Geddy Lee]

Wow Glass captain.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

GLASS CAPTAIN

all faith is gone

GONE

 

[kaiserchief13]

lol lots of Eagles love. Watson not such a good leader huh

 

[crownie]

Glass Captain!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sprout]

LOL

 

[Escobar123]

Gerard Healy can go **** himself Glass captain???

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Pav would have been better off missing the first 6-7 rounds - selectors seem to look at averages too much

 

[BACCS]

Oh man, they love the Eagles! Glass captain? Great player and deserved his spot, but Watson deserved that with no Pav there.

 

[MeisterBot]

 

[Barnzy]

Lids finally gets his overdue AA spot.

4th year in the squad. Well deserved.

 

[brendan84]

LOL. Glass captain. Another massive massive **** up.

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

no talls on the bench, unusual.

Maric, Jacobs, Pav, Mitchell and Jack the stiffest of the stiff.

 

[The King!]

Glass is a surprise as skipper but well deserved

 

[Cameron_K]

Is Darcy ******ed??? Pavlich misses out as a forward as he played the start of the year in the midfield.... Then they pick Cox in the forward pocket!!! I am a huge Dean Cox fan as well, should have been the ruckman.

 

[PTizzle]

Jack, Mitchell, Selwood all a bit stiff to be behind Pendlebury I reckon.

Not the worst team ever but Nic Nat is an atrocious howler, at least a year too early. Maric and Jacobs would be rightly pissed.

Ah well, that's that.
