Aboriginal & TSI Indigenous All-Stars named for Crows clash

[SM]

Glad to see Goodes and MOL looking forwards to possible coaching careers. Bodes well for the future.

 

[PAFC66]

Apparently not. Name your team, and let's see how it compares...

I cant be ****ed naming a team... but i can say right now i would have Goodes, Franklin than Burgoyne as 1 2 an 3. I think thats obvious to most people who know the game.

 

[NTRabbit]

Does anyone know why Jared Brennan hasn't been selected? He'd be a monty for this team, surely

Is he even aboriginal?

he would have to be .0000000000000000000000000000000000000001 if he is.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Is he even aboriginal?

he would have to be .0000000000000000000000000000000000000001 if he is.

Part Indonesian, part Dutch, part anglo-Australian.

Not indigenous.

I failed in my attempt to be amusing

They're going to seriously struggle for height though, pregame monsoon or not.

 

[Adrian Shelton]

Need Corey AhChee and a couple of those Tiwi guns in there

 

[Smyth94]

Not playing for some reason. Any idea why?

Essendon won't release him - had a shoulder niggle and will also miss Rnd 1 NAB Cup

 

[DarwinRoo]

Does anyone know why Jared Brennan hasn't been selected? He'd be a monty for this team, surely

Probably for the same reason Daniel Kerr and Josh Gibson aren't playing.

Daniel Motlop at CHF?
Raphael Clarke at CHB?

They're gonna get smashed...

 

[Danog]

This is a squad that I would pay good money to go and see play:

FB: Matthew WHELAN, Patrick RYDER, David WIRRPANDA,
HB; Andrew McLEOD, Michael JOHNSON, Peter BURGOYNE ,
C: Andrew LOVETT, Shaun BURGOYNE, Daniel WELLS,
HF: Andrew WALKER, Lance FRANKLIN, Leon DAVIS,
FF: Aaron DAVEY, Michael O'LOUGHLIN, Daniel MOTLOP,
FOLL: Jonathon GRIFFIN, Adam GOODES, Chance BATEMAN,

INTER: Alwyn DAVEY, Graham JOHNCOCK, Cyril RIOLI, Roger HAYDEN.

EMG: Mark WILLIAMS, Eddie BETTS, Jason ROE, Mathew Stokes, Des HEADLAND.


If all fit and playing this team would be very hard to beat.

No Tambling or Shane Edwards?

 

[Hollow Knight]

You would have thought Jason Roe would have got a gig on his height alone.

 

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

Who else can play ruck in this team?

Thats the problem, like no-one.
Brennan might be able to, that would be a tough ask.

Interesting why Ryder wasnt chosen.

 

[crazzzy_grrl]

Wirrpunda has been ruled out with a virus

 

[DarwinRoo]

Thats the problem, like no-one.
Brennan might be able to, that would be a tough ask.

Interesting why Ryder wasnt chosen.

Yes Brennan in the ruck would be a tough ask considering he isn't Aboriginal.

 

[Kaladin Stormblessed]

Dunno if this has been mentioned yet but can anyone please tell me why Brennan isn't in the side??? Thanks

Tredders do you realise how funny it is, someone of your history - claiming to be a knowledgable fan.

or are you hoping newbies will just take you on face value?

his leaving out wells & junior burger was stupid, but i'd hardly expect you to do much better.

[__aria__]

will be interesting to see cruize garlett and warren benjamin in action

didnt think benjamin was in the original squad

 

[Hollow Knight]

didnt think benjamin was in the original squad

A certain Brisbane player was dropped from the team today, Benjamin probably got his spot.

 

[NTRabbit]

This is expected to be the Adelaide side that takes them on, very rough position guess from our forum, with high numbers of rotations of course:

FF: Kurt Tippett, Taylor Walker, Simon Goodwin
HB: Andy Otten, Nick Gill, Bernie Vince
C: Myke Cook, Scott Thompson, David Mackay
HB: Will Young, Nathan Bock, Michael Doughty
FB: Scott Stevens, Ben Rutten, Rory Sloane

1st R: Ivan Maric, Chris Knights, Nathan Van Berlo

Bench: Brad Moran, James Sellar, Shaun McKernan, Tom Lee, Aaron Kite, Greg Gallman, Patrick Dangerfield, Tyson Edwards, Robert Shirley, Brent Reilly

Missing for the Crows, Trent Hentschel (quad) is expected to resume full training next week when he returns from Darwin; Richard Douglas (hip) is not quite ready; and Tony Armstrong (hamstring) is also close to rejoining the main group.

Also unavailable are Brett Burton (knee), Jason Porplyzia (shoulder), Brad Symes (wrist/thumb) and Phil Davis (shoulder).

With 5 in the All Stars, that covers all 40 senior players on our list.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Also unavailable are Brett Burton

I seriously thought Brett Burton had retired until I read this, I even had to google I was so certain.

I was wrong.

This is a squad that I would pay good money to go and see play:

FB: Matthew WHELAN, Patrick RYDER, David WIRRPANDA,
HB; Andrew McLEOD, Michael JOHNSON, Peter BURGOYNE ,
C: Andrew LOVETT, Shaun BURGOYNE, Daniel WELLS,
HF: Andrew WALKER, Lance FRANKLIN, Leon DAVIS,
FF: Aaron DAVEY, Michael O'LOUGHLIN, Daniel MOTLOP,
FOLL: Jonathon GRIFFIN, Adam GOODES, Chance BATEMAN,

INTER: Alwyn DAVEY, Graham JOHNCOCK, Cyril RIOLI, Roger HAYDEN.

EMG: Mark WILLIAMS, Eddie BETTS, Jason ROE, Mathew Stokes, Des HEADLAND.

You don't seriously think that Walker would start on a half forward flank ahead of Wiliams, Betts, Stokes and Headland? All who have been name as emergencie Three premiership players in that mix.
