[frantelle]

i wouldnt say that either cornes' brother is in the team atm
also too many tall forwards
considering the years that some small forwards are having i think it should go 3 talls 3 smalls
no to stevens and bradshaw as well

 

[dannydickfos99]

Chad Cornes has had an ordinary season by his standards - he has had a heap of troubles with his fingers / hand.

No where near All Australian this year.

Medhurst would have to be certain starter

I think that forward line of yours is a bit to tall with 5 power forwards and 1 small forward.

[Tish]

No Fevola? Bit stiff, only the best full forward in the league. Would rather move roo back to half forward, drop Didak and put Medhurst in too. The rest of the team is fairly decent

 

[woods_gun]

oh yeah i completely forgot about fev with my team i might put him in now.

stevens?

judd has been much much better for us this year than what he has.

and i don't understad how you can have bradshaw in the team ahead of fevola? he's kicked more goals, he averages more goals, he's played more games and let's not forget kevein sheedy said that the hall of fame game would count for all australian selection and fev was best on ground in that.

akermanis has been WAAY better than what didak has this year.

scarlett should be in the team.

you've got 4 blokes over 6 foot 3 in your forward line and 2 more 6 foot 3 plus forwards on the bench.

i have no idea what chad cornes is doing in there and i'm starting to think this is a bit of a piss-take.

 

[Skeppersap]

I think you are being a little harsh on Fremantle, only putting one of their players in there.

they are a team of world beaters afterall!

 

[Kickass]

oh yeah i completely forgot about fev with my team i might put him in now.

Fev was too Busy cuddling opposition players to take up his spot in this team.

 

[Daytripper]

Mitchell, Black and Enright have to be there surely.

Sam Fisher is very questionable as is Heath Shaw.

 

[dorko1]

Ok then Chad out
Stevens stays for the moment leadership is very good and tackels alot
Judd has missed to much footy
fev in bradshaw out
but didak has beeen bettter than akker
Choose either aker or murphy or medhurst no way 3 will be in\

How can a player who is one vote behind Ablett in the herald sun player of the year award not be in the All Australian team?

I sincerely hope you forgot Brent Harvey.

Fail.

 

[Cicatriz]

Milburn continues to be the most under rated star in the competition. Clearly all-australian.

 

[rose jam]

why are people putting Didak in the forward pocket, he has played HF/midfield all year.

Has not played 1 game deep forward this year. Best half forward in the game at the moment.
Also Lake > Scarlett. Good call.

stevens has had 1 game where his tackle count has been high, if your going on tackles i bet judd as had about 50% more than what stevens has had this year despite missing only 1 game yes only 1 game i don't know how that equated to missing too much footy. didak has not been anywhere near as good as aker. and you say no way all 3 of aker, medhurst and murphy will be in yet your quite happy to have 4 players in the forward line over 6 foot 3 and another 2 waiting on the pine?

[blues4flag]

Fevola is an absolute monty for All Australian selection. Has clearly been the second best forward behind Franklin (and only 5 goals behind, at that) and is target to kick 90 goals in the H&A season, something which hasn't been done since Gehrig's 90 goal haul in 2004, and Lloyd's 96 in 2001.

 

[PendlePie]

Fev is a FF though - and this is where most posters are placing Franklin. Fev hasn't played CHF this year and therefore can't go there.

 

[dorko1]

out Nick Stevens In Mark McVeigh

 

[blues4flag]

Franklin to CHF (has alternated as the deep forward with Roughead, and does push up the ground), Fev to full forward. Place Fev on the bench. Put Fev into the forward pocket as a second tall. Definitely deserves an AA jumper on his season to date.

Obviously very biased, but Corey Enright would be right up this year as a half back flanker. Last two games alone have been BOG's.

Also, don't be suprised to see Joel Selwood there at the end of year. IMO has been more productive than Bartel.

 

[murph#3]

out Nick Stevens In Mark McVeigh

make up your mind man. you dismiss judd because he's missed too much footy when he's only missed one game and then you bring in mcveigh who has missed 3 games and averages less disposals, clearances, contested possessions, hard ball gets, tackles (something you said you rated with nick stevens) and goal assists than what judd does.

 

[Daytripper]

Obviously very biased, but Corey Enright would be right up this year as a half back flanker. Last two games alone have been BOG's.

Sam Fisher ahead of Enright is laughable IMO.

Maybe they think Fisher has been playing like he did last Friday night all season....
