It never ceases to amaze me how overrated Cotchin is.

That would be 2 time premiership captain, brownlow Medalist Trent Cotchin to you.

 

[Gavin Excell]

I’m glad that a very good representation of talent is going around

 

[Pykie]

Josh Kennedy said he would have liked to play but the Eagles quota had been filled and he had missed out.That was a few weeks ago in the news here so Longmire likes Tex and wants to lose so the Victorians can have a feel good wank session for charity. spose.

Ben Brown getting injured last week probably meant he got selected also.

I dont remember the 90s teams being this shit. And the 'All stars" have what, 70% of the population and its still shit. The teams are full of punces who are more concerned with their hair do than represent their state..or states/ country. Honestly anyone thinking this is anything great is kidding themselves.

A lot of that 70% tho is in league territory. Imagine how bad a league team with players from Vic/SA/WA would be compared to QLD or NSW

 

[windyhill]

Let me guess, it's aflx re-born, there will be minimal contact.

 

[La Dispute]

That would be 2 time premiership captain, brownlow Medalist Trent Cotchin to you.

That’s kind of the point.

Wouldn’t be in the top 20 midfielders in the league and likely hasn’t been for some time, but gets elevated unnecessarily by a default joint Brownlow win 8 years ago and a few flags to which he wasn’t in the best 5 players on the ground.

He’s more a solid mid than a genuine star these days.

[RaySamuel]

Any chance these blokes are gonna go full rip?

 

[BACCS]

How does Tex Walker get a gig? Very confusing....

I guess having the 5th most goals over the last 10 years helps... and he’s good mates with Hawkins so hopefully they can work well together. I don’t think Tex really wanted to play this game, but with guys like Buddy injured then who else would you pick?

 

[JackBero]

no gozza

 

[JackBero]

also, guernesys on the afl shop website have sold out

 

[BACCS]

Tex being selected is taking the P155

Can’t believe Dixon didn’t get a call up!

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Can’t believe Dixon didn’t get a call up!

They are both bog average yes no shit

 

[BACCS]

They are both bog average yes no shit

I didn’t realise Dixon had ever kicked 50 in a season or sat 5th in goals over the last 10 years? Dixon never has been nor never will be near an AA squad or will captain a club, Tex has done both (never made the AA team but has been nominated 3 times, voted best captain twice). It’s insulting that Dixon is even in the same sentence as Tex, but he’s an easy BF target so easy to go along with the sheep I guess.

I'm not surprised you are piping the stats of an underachieving pillock when you have morons on the Adelaide board comparing him to a 4xAA CHF premiership captain.. sorry he's hot garbage.

 

[OhhDeledio]

Hoping Martin captain and Cotchin VC

cotch will almost certainly be named skipper

Did Tex run over your dog?

 

[God Mode]

No Tim Kelly??

 

[Stan Judkins]

It never ceases to amaze me how overrated Cotchin is.

2 time premiership captain Cotchin you mean, overrated
Glad you picked Kreuzer then

could add 99% of Carlton players in the last 10 years in that category of solid but no premierships then
Save the laughs for the Blues forums

Far out, you people are majorly overreacting, it doesn't matter who gets selected, it's a charity game about having FUN. The key word being fun, it's not competitive or serious, it's a charity game and that's it.

Still a charity game, the State of Origin tag changes nothing.
