Mitch shafted by AA selectors.

[Hollow Knight]

I called it.

How utterly ****ing predictable.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Andrew Demetriou, Adrian Anderson, Kevin Bartlett, Gerard Healy, James Hird, Glen Jakovich, Mark Ricciuto and Robert Walls.

5 Victorians (yes I class Hird as Victorian), 1 SA & 1 WA. No fricking wonder.

 

[notting18]

Just a ****ing shame that his efforts aren't recognised. Really hope he wins the B&F this year after such a snubbing.

Looks you have to be basically the best player in the leauge to selected in the AA side from Brisbane...

 

[Swans120]

When Swan was nominated in the forwards it was a joke. When Maxwell made the side over Goddard i thought this was a hack side about to be named. When Le Cras was shunned it was an even greater joke. But when Clark got shafted, this side lost almost all its credibility....wait maybe that should be the panellists who voted for the AA lost all their credibility.

 

[Hollow Knight]

We shouldn't be surprised.

Simon Black not making the 40 man squad demonstrated how much of a southern state wankfest the award is.

Leon Davis ahead of LeCras and Maxwell over Goddard are also major clangers.

Absolute joke of an award.

 

[Roger The Sheep]

Gerard Healy's man crush on Aaron Sandilands wins the day again.

 

[notting18]

Thread needs more Browny love. 2nd AA and well deserving.

Hopefully he gets the Captaincy or VC. I will destroy something if Judd gets either ahead of him...

Edit: Steps away from laptop and other expensive items!!

 

[The Flying Belgian]

We shouldn't be surprised.

Simon Black not making the 40 man squad demonstrated how much of a southern state wankfest the award is.

Swan being named as a forward is evidence enough that they picked the side first, then padded it out to 40 names. It's like they wanted to name him in the "starting" 18 but could fit him in any of the on-baller slots.

Davis? WTF? Had a pretty good year, but as a forward pocket. LeCras and Porps very stiff.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Hi guys. Up here!

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Browny voted the best captian by his peers, but doesn't get a look-in?

Ha, I helped make that map!!! ^^^^^

 

[Hollow Knight]

Eye-gouging dog ahead of Brown for the vice-captaincy.

What a massive Victorian circle jerk.

Pathetic.

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Browny voted the best captian by his peers, but doesn't get a look-in?

Ha, I helped make that map!!! ^^^^^

wtf?

really interested to see how many brownlow votes clark gets.....10+?

 

[Cousin Jed]

Hird - Only leaves Victoria to watch Wimbledon
Healy - Probably only saw 3 of our games this year
Walls - Commentating on a Saturday night on ten when we are on Fox, probably saw us 3 times.
Jakovich - There's teams outside of Perth?
KB - Senile old fool.

Shouldn't be surprised.

 

[Chasing the Dream]

Ha, I helped make that map!!! ^^^^^

I thought the Dutch were here first, now I find out it was a Belgian

 

[Doza]

Very very unlucky Clark. Should have been in there easily.

AFL has such man love for Bolton it's ridiculous

 

[Hollow Knight]

Time to put Alastair Lynch on the panel.

What a bloody farce.

 

[Trjn]

Let's see:

Brown shafted on the captaincy (second time, McLeod shouldn't have been given it in 07).

Clark shafted from the best 22.

Black shafted from the 40 man squad.

HB line a joke.

Swan put in the forward line at the expense of Le Cras/Porps.

Goodes on the bench and Fev as FF despite a very inconsistent year. . .

I could go on, but my laptop touchpad is making it very to type.

 

[Jimmy Two Hands]

I caught a bit of OWAAT on One and they were discussing Clark's dizzy spells and Quarters mentioned that he will probably be All-Australian to Walls and Walls said nothing and looked guilty. I knew he wasnt gonna be picked after that.

 

[QL 21]

What a massive Victorian circle jerk.

Spot on. What a shame.

 

[Quinz]

Yep he was absolutely shafted. I agree TBD, massive Vic circle jerk the AA team, token interstate selections (and incorrect ones) show they really have no interest in what goes on outside the borders of Victoria.

Oh and Brown should have got VC or C as well.

 

[Leo Barry You Star]

Drummond too, very unlucky not to make the 40 considering blokes like Steve Johnson were included despite missing plenty of games

 

[Zacisonfire]

Can't believe Judd got Vice Captain over Brown... Not surprised about Clark still sucks... doesnt' take anything away from a ripper of a year...

 

[Trjn]

Drummond too, very unlucky not to make the 40 considering blokes like Steve Johnson were included despite missing plenty of games

That's actually one I'm willing to concede, he missed too many games and wasn't at his best after his injury. Then again, considering the selections in the back line. . .

 

[scotty4]

nick maxwell? are you ****ing me?

 

[whizkizz]

I would pick Drummond or Patfull over Maxwell any day of the week. I'm not too crash hot on Goodwin either, he has been a great player for the Crows, but clearly his previous four All Australian's got him over the line this year.

Fletcher played less games than Drummo, yet he made the 40 man squad.

Brown should have been FF, and Fevola in the pocket.

Pathetic.
