It's funny how a month ago Zac Merret was the best captain in the league and this week Essendon have leadership issues

Unfortunately the AA panel is full of morons like King

Jakovich is so ****ing stupid he probably needs his fingers and toes to count to 20

Do you recall a Bears game against Eagles? Jerry Lewis was our number one ticket holder ( or something) Must have been doing a show on the Gold Coast. Did the coin toss and as he was leaving the ground Jakovich thump past him. Lewis followed him doing an ape walk for about ten meters. Great tv.

Iirc Champs played on Jakovich that day and clearly beat him.

But as you say over his career Jakovich was one of the best.

Ps for younger followers google Martin and Lewis

think our players have always suffered from there being no 'queensland' afl figure on the all australian panel. cant tell me serong wasnt squeezed in last year over liberatore / neale who clearly had better years but for the fact that without his inclusion there would be no western australians on the team. pavlich and jakovich would push hard on that.

rozee in 2022 a similar story.

wonder if akermanis would be up for it and willing to fly the flag for queenslanders on the panel? still involved in footy at least on a casual basis through being a part of the ABC commentary team. much as the bloke is a bit of a knob he has a great footy brain.

There’s a reason why they called him cement head.

At least Zorko is getting a bit of love from people who selected their AA teams.

Conggrats Darcy.

Kai not good enough - probably not popular enough given this is largely decided by votes. I'd argue Kai deserved to be in over Rachelle.

 

[McIvor]

First common sense AA team I've seen and seems about right to me.

Therefore the AA team will resemble nothing like Johnspns.

They also named 4 key forwards in Amiss, JUH, Darcy and Treacy... Amiss could go out for Kai, if he was at a big Melbourne club who would have a lot more voters he would be in the side, has been outstanding this season.

I'm not really that big a fan of Ryan, think Clark has been more deserving from Freo. Otherwise it goes pretty close to right

4 midfielders on the bench is probably cheating a bit

And no second ruck

If they named Joe on the field (will never happen I know) then technically the AA selectors have an out on the second ruck given no other KPF in that team play back up ruck.

You would think Heeney in the middle over Daicos.

Am I crazy in thinking that the guy I would choose first if given the choice would probably be Mac Daddy?

IMO Josh Weddle is an absolute gun, would love him in our backline, plays well above his listed height, very handy pinch hitting up front as well.

He probably needs a bag in the last round but if he pushes into 3rd or 4th in the Coleman race you could easily argue that his ruck work pushes him into the team over King/Waterman/Cameron
