Toast Cripps (VC), Saad, Charlie named in the 2022 AA side!

[Blue1980]

I don’t think the issue is the bottom 6, it’s just playing more together and getting the cohesion and experience the better sides have.

Each of the top 8 sides above us have that.

 

[BrianSetzer]

They'll shaft Saad, he deserves a spot in the team. Been outstanding.

 

[btdg]

I don't think any of our players deserve to be in the final AA team. We missed the finals, and ultimately when the season was there for the taking they came up short - all of the named players had their role in that as well.

Better they go into the offseason with a chip on their shoulder and are forced to focus on what might have been than they receive individual accolades after falling short when it mattered imo. All had good seasons, and arguably Docherty too... not good enough though.

 

[Blue__Balls]

It really does highlight the steep drop off on our list from top 5-8 to the bottom 6.

What? Same could be said for every list in the comp.

By Club ...

 

[Benaly28]

Afl.com has all 5 in the side.Would probably be the first time in history a team has had so many and missed finals.

I find this kind of award pretty meaningless in a team sport, success in my eyes is judged by team achievements, not individual ones. These awards are just a small distraction.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Looks like they will all make AA...
There is 44 named and rumour is there will be 2 teams this year...

Hope they play each other... That would be better than state of origin imo...

I don't mind the idea of 2 teams, but I wouldn't do a 1st and 2nd team. Just make two equal teams and try to balance them out as though they were playing against each other. Kind of like All-star teams.
Eliminates the stupid talk about such and such isn't good enough for the 1st team, or 2nd team is just a participation award for the ones who aren't good enough to make the team.
It's fairly subjective and there's plenty of players who are always stiff to miss out.
Recognition for being considered one of the best 44 players out of 800 odd (top 5%).
Two reasonably even teams with no ranking. Then people can just debate which team would win if they played.

Do it in a slightly NBA All-star way. Pick the 44. Pick the 2 players as captains of each side, then let the captains choose their sides from the remaining 42 players and they pick their vice captain.
If the AFL can televise it and monetise it, I'm sure they'll be in. Make it part of the bye week before finals and tie it in with the Brownlow fesitivities.
Then get 2 e-sports teams to battle it out with the selected sides on a PS5 or whatever. Can even have the captains playing for a laugh.

 

[Les Grossman playaaaa]

Proud of the men listed from our team. There's definitely a lot of AA's in them....

 

[Keyza]

Only Curnow and Cripps at the awards night it seems. Looks like Saad/Walsh/Weitering all missed out on the 22.

I saw Saad being interviewed on the news. I think he was going into the awards.

A news article seemingly leaked the full AA team.

Having 3 reps in the AA 22 and not making finals is just crushing
