Strange!

 

[Smyth94]

Meh...last few weeks probably cost David, but really, you can't complain about Cox and Sandilands being selected over Hille as the two ruckman.

Petrie was always going to get the utility slot.

 

[David_Hilley#19]

Very harsh. Is that final?

 

[Margim]

Not surprised. Hille had a great purple patch mid-year through our golden run, but started off slower and wasn't around for the finish. If he can find consistent form next year, got no doubts he'll kill it in.

Spot on.

 

[dave_27]

He deserved recognition with a spot in the 40 man squad atleast

Healy at it again.

Healy at it again.

Adrian Anderson... Robert Walls... It can't get less convincing than that.

 

[M29]

This is an ourage!`11

I'm writing a letter to my local member about this one. Screw having inquests into a tassie team, this is priority!

 

[Big Blow Hard]

10 Geelong players. I wonder if we will see a Geelong overkill in the final team again. I am surprised Cameron Mooney wasn't given another undeserving spot.

 

[dirtywhitepacker]

Ok, I could understand if he was pipped at the post for the final 22. But to not be selected in the 40-Man squad? What a F*CKING joke...

 

[BacharHouli_43]

Disappointed, thought hille was better than sandilands and cyril rioli deserved selection as well but otherwise it was pretty reasonable

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

I just can't be bothered anymore.

Seriously... to leave Hille out of the 40 man squad let alone the team is a ****ing disgrace.

 

[EVERLAST]

Leon Davis couldn't get a slot also.

 

[Kirby]

I honestly think that it is ridiculous that he (Hille) didn't make at least the squad of 40. What a joke.

 

[superhawkers]

I'm surprised there isn't more outrage on this board. I would have been certain that he'd at least be the 2nd ruckman picked.

Im in absolute disbeleif that Andrew Mackie could be considered for All-Australian. What a joke.

 

[YouveBeenReimered]

Mooney ahead of Lucas in the 22 last year and Hille not in the 40 this year.

The selectors are gutless and disgraceful hacks

 

[Don Envy]

I think that of further concern is that we don't have any players considered worthy of the short list of 40. Us and Melbourne are the only two and over recent years our absense from AA (except for Fletch on the bench last year) is a sign that we are a side that lacks of star quality individual talent.

 

[daffo]

Hille didn't deserve to be in the 22 this year, but i would of thought he would of got into the 40.
Hille played six to eight great weeks of footy but apart from that, wasn't in the best three ruckman in the comp. Through those six weeks or so he was No.1 though.

 

[PIEd]

damn!!! harsh... i thought the melbourne journos were all over him??? harsh

 

[Crumpler83]

Didn't even make the short list of 40 eh?

Pfft that's a bit of a joke if you ask me.

He may have ended up getting squeezed out by Sandilands anyway but the fact that he's not even on the list to begin with is pretty harsh.

 

[TheDon35]

Disgrace.

 

[drew_j]

All Australian is a joke every year. I'm not surprised at this at all.

 

[monty1104]

what a joke. He should be in the 40 man squad.

Is there an echo?
