Just because you get big numbers as midfielder doesn't mean you can pop them wherever on the field. Have a look at that forward line and tell me if it would function in a real game.

Of course it would function in a real game. Murphy and Swan would be miles better as HFF's than any of the players that actually play there.

Swan had 31 goals and 23 assists, despite not playing there very much. He'd go ok if he was there full time.

 

[Donkson]

opinion is incorrect.

Does not compute. Cute attempt at intelligence though.

 

[mike ockerts]

They may as well do away with positions and just name 22 players.

This ^^^

 

[Spector]

Can someone please tell me, please... how Murphy and Swan are better HFFers than Nat Fyfe?

Please...

 

[cynical]

too many midfielders, mark murphy and swan on the hf line wtf

3 midfielders on the bench

happy kelly got in, he deserved it, best geelong player all year

 

[Blues_Man]

Scotland, Thompson, and Mcpharlin were robbed ..Robert Murphy and Boyd were ridiculous selections.

 

[Dreambomber]

I think it's hilarious that all of you think you actually know better than people who have played and are involved in the industry. Like, you're getting genuinely upset because your uninformed opinion is incorrect. Funny.

As a fan who watches 5+ games a week, every week, over the whole season, my opinion is hardly 'uninformed' and I'm sure this goes for many other fans. I am confident that I watch more footy and have more of a clue than most of the panel of muppets.

 

[The Speaker]

Do you watch Goodes? He hasn't played ruck in years.

Nah, really?

The point was that Goodes (can) also play(s) multiple positions around the ground.

The more pertinent point is that understanding AA selections is generally impossible.

 

[krisholio14]

James Kelly made it. Don't care about the rest

 

[Off The Couch]

Pretty much got it right really - think Scarlett was lucky along with Petrie and rob murphy.
Unlucky mcpharlin, ffye, Goldstein, scotland and gibbo

Good to see Mitchell get the recognition he deserves.

 

[davo99]

Can someone please tell me, please... how Murphy and Swan are better HFFers than Nat Fyfe?

Please...

Because the they are both Victorian and he is from Perth

 

[8732watitdo]

Surely Goodes?

(see I can put my teams captian there too)

In all reality it should be Ablett

yeah that was the joke, but I guess sarcasm isn't the best thing on forums.

 

[Big Wilbur]

Fair enough for people to argue that others should be in ahead of Robert Murphy but seriously, he's had an outstanding year.

 

[Twenty 11 Pies]

Nop never heard of him...

Open your eyes on Friday night, watch and learn

 

[Warsaw]

Juddy vice captain wtf.

Fair enough when you thin about it. Can't hate on Ablett for what he's done.

 

[hellfire]

Can someone please tell me, please... how Murphy and Swan are better HFFers than Nat Fyfe?

Please...

They both kicked more goals, had more goal assists, averaged more possessions, and inside 50s than him?

 

[Mop]

Captain: Gary Ablett
Vice Captain: Chris Judd

 

[Hank93]

Worst all australian team in many years. Goldstein, Thompson, Gibson, Scotland, Fyfe, Walker very unlucky.
One small forwards for the entire team. Placing Swan and Murphy in the Half forward spot is a Joke.

Robert Murphy???

 

[beez]

Surprised Glass didn't get either C or VC, but can't begrudge either Ablett or Judd.

 

[ToroHombre]

Why is Robert Murphy in there ahead of Brett Deledio? Totally ridiculous decision. And Scarlett seemingly only got in on reputation by the looks of it. And Fyfe out and Milne in?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Look I can see why they picked petrie over goldstein as second ruck, but it seems to me they decided to be overly pedantic with the second ruck position (picking also based on forward ability) when they've not bothered with other positions (putting mids in random spots etc).


Goldstein incredibly stiff, but congrats big Drewy

Good call on GAJ, led a bunch of kids really well this year and will only get better.

 

[The Speaker]

Well, at least they got the captain right.

 

[PP34]

Surely Judd should've been Captain. Look at the positions on the ladder?
