What a ridiculous comment from Jako, does he hate our team now?

I wish all the All-Australian selectors would actually watch every single game of the Home and Away season. Is that too much to ask? To do what you are being paid to do? I've heard some of the Victorian selectors actually state many time over the years that they don't even watch the majority of our games(or the other interstate teams). The AA Team really ought to have no credibility whatsover.
I'd be surprised if the average selector even watches half of all the games in the Home and Away season. If they did, then they wouldn't believe the completely fictitious stat that MacKenzie gave away 39 goals.
These artards should really take a look at the professionalism of how the American networks & media analyze and cover their sports. I really shits all over the top of us.

Remember we dropped Lynch so he wouldn't break Jako's "consecutive games in a row" record - no worries Jako.
MacKenzie is stiff to miss out. However, I find a disturbing trend that the AA selectors favour guys that missed out the previous year. Rance arguably should have been selected last year but missed out so because he has had two good years in a row they favoured him.
If E-Mac has a good year next year he will be a shoe in IMHO.

He had a good year last year as well. He was in the 40 man AA squad, and should have won our B&F
That's 2 years in a row he's missed out now, so there is holes in your consistency theory.

No AA and no Rising stars...doesn't bode too well actually.
We haven't had a rising star nomination in 3 seasons.
We were spoiled for AA's 2 seasons ago (2012) though.
Well this is crap. Was looking forward to this, figures 
Lol @ Rance, he played well for 1/3 of the season against crap opposition (including us)!

All Australian should be awarded on the form displayed for that year, not accrued performance or any other metric. You pick the best player in their position for that season. This is the first time in years the selectors have come close to naming a deserving side.MacKenzie is stiff to miss out.

Rance had a pretty good year, most of the decisions are a coin flip anyway, we've had players in that didn't particularly deserve it previously and plenty that have missed out when they have, doesn't mean shit so no point in being bothered by it

To be honest most of us here are fine we didn't make the finals just to make up the numbers on top of not being good enough. Getting a slightly better draft pick is better than being destroyed in the first week of the finals.
I'd would have hated to be that side.

You guys haven't beaten a top 8 team in a final in more than a decade.
Run along thanks.

Sanders replied to someone who mentioned priddis.
It is a valid conversation in here that priddis didn't get selected. There were a lot of posters who thought he was going to get in and it deserves to be discussed in here.
They ignored the stats and selected players who actually hurt you. Common sense has prevailed as he only made the 40 man squad because he had good looking stats.

Call the police.
Did they steal his brownlow? Oh wait...
