Tbh he is looking like he could do with some time away from the game and some little self care

If you have a look through the actual panellists on AA committee, their poor decision making over the years will make sense.

Can someone please name these selectors?

 

[peetoo]

Yeah the 1991 basically takes out three of the top goal kickers of all time. No locket, dunstall or ablett. But im amazed hawkins gets there ahead of lloyd. The whole ff line is a bit meh compared to what you could pick from that time period.

Even half their careers stack up. Ablett 3 Coleman’s Lockett 2 dunstall 100 goals x4

Gillon McLachlan, Kevin Bartlett, Eddie Betts, Jude Bolton, Nathan Buckley, Kane Cornes, Andrew Dillon, Glen Jakovich, Laura Kane, Cameron Ling, and Matthew Pavlich.

His last interview on 360 sounded like a guy who had absolutely burnt the candle from both ends. Needs time away 100%

 

[jumpingjai]

How many games did the 3 AFL officials see?
McLaughlin has just had shoulder operation. Has checked out. Just milking $$$$

Yep. They had over 30 years of players to choose from and they still forced a wing/hff into a forward pocket

Lockett was a 5 x AA from 1991 onwards, the same as Hawkins, he absolutely can be picked in this team from 1991 onwards.

These selectors have actually looked at it and gone who should we pick as the best FF, Lockett with 5xAA’s, Lloyd with 5xAA’s or Hawkins with 5xAA’s…. let’s go with Hawkins.

 

[peetoo]

They forget Hawkins was flakey as in his early years

Kept saying he’ll be good as long as we get another key alongside him

No such thing was said of Carey Lockett dunstall Ablett even lloyd

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Gillon McLachlan, Kevin Bartlett, Eddie Betts, Jude Bolton, Nathan Buckley, Kane Cornes, Andrew Dillon, Glen Jakovich, Laura Kane, Cameron Ling, and Matthew Pavlich.

You forgot Bozo the Clown, oh wait Jakovich is in there..

 

[CHUBBSS]

Let the man travel for a year, deserves a well earned break

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Let the man travel for a year, deserves a well earned break

I'm actually really concerned for him.
He never took a break after his son died, and that's when his weight ballooned ( a sign of depression/medication for depression)
Stepping away after such a long time of being busy can really rock people.
I really hope the industry supports him and keeps in touch with him

No AFL mens tonight, but we still have Abbie

 

[LuckyHawk]

Even amongst the women Razor looks
short. Hahaha.

 

[Gaston]

No AFL mens tonight, but we still have Abbie

Get in line there.

 

[QuietB]

Let Geelong have their meaningless All Australians…
At the end of the day we have the most premierships during that period and that’s all the matters by a long shot…

It has always been this way.

2008 - Cats 7 AA's, Hawks 2AA's + a premiership.

10 Geelong players were in the squad that year - that is just silly.

Curly, Mo and Larry.

Watched the Hawks v Collingwood game last night, a few cold frothies and some fish and chips. We had had a few good quarters thru the season, even several back to backthru, but on this day put it all together, all four quarters. They had a red hot crack and we just cracked right back. A glimpse into the future. Reckon this will get a few re watches thru summer.

To be fair they were pretty bloody dominant that year

No chance Harley and corey should have been in the aa. Mcpharlin is the obvious kpd ommitted. And both sam mitchell and Simon Black should have been in ahead of corey. By round 11 hawthorn were on top of the ladder.

I reckon Corey edged both of them that season. Can't comment on Harley making the team because I hate that guy and it clouds my judgement. We may have been on top at round 11 but by round 22 they were ahead of us by 4 wins and 30%

 

[The hands of stone]

The worst part of the AA mafia is somehow the peeps thinks it’s got GOAT qualification input

Honourable mentions: Six-time selectees Joel Selwood, Ben Cousins, Chris Judd and James Hird are the unlucky quartet to miss out.

Some worthy inclusions, but no dunstall lake hodge Mitchell jarman voss black akermanis Martin Chapman Lloyd Lockett Bradley kernahan silvagni I etc etc

Getting Bill Brownless to do the side was the first mistake

Harley was good player but average by AFL standards. Benefitted from being captain in such a strong side .
I always thought it enhanced his playing and captaincy capabilities.
