I don't get where this idea that Alan Didak didn't deserve his spot comes from.
He kicked 41 goals himself, and was 2nd in the league in goal assists, with something like 49 assists.
Ryan O'Keefe deserves his spot for having 2 more possessions and an extra mark per game? Alan Didak kicked 14 more goals, and while I don't know O'Keefe's assist stats, Didak's are obviously better considering that Goodwin was the only player ahead of him.
I think Bassett and McLeod are the two that don't belong there, considering that Graham Johncock, their own teammate, had a signifcantly better season than either of them.

I didn't vote for the last one because Pavlich was deserving, but McDonald did not deserve to be there, especially when you consider players like Bruce missed out, much better season.
Gilbee? He had an average season, I know, because I had to trade him form by dreamteam because he was playing so bad. Surely Johncock played much better.
Bassett? Clement you idiots!
Out: Bolton, In: C. Cornes or even Milburn
McLeod, not a great season really. O' Keefe, players like Farmer and Davey were far more deserving. This really isn't a great AA team.

Actually, every single Melbourne fan will tell you that Junior deserved to be in the AA team more than Bruce. I'm rapt for him too.
Did you hear the stat they read out? Bolton had 15 goals kicked on him for the entire 2006 season. That's just incredible.
O'Keefe might not score as many goals as those 2, but have a look at the I50 figures, which are probably more important to a HFF (whereas Farmer and Davey are more FP types). O'Keefe was probably fighting it out with Chapman. On a side note Pettifer probably wasn't even in consideration because he played quite a few games in the backline.

What morons voted for Bassett? He has had a magnificent season and is only now getting noticed. All you idiots that voted for him (Cassius Clay and crew) have no effin idea. Watch some games!!
McLeod deserves to be there along with Johncock but if you're that fussy Johncock can replace McLeod.
Cox, Bowden and Didak do not belong in that side.

Cox is very lucky, because he missed a few matches and Simmonds was just as good.

I'm saying he doesnt deserve to be there because Clement has had twice the season that Bassett has. I think 99.9% of people would agree to that.
And you have NFI if you dont think Didak has done enough :thumbsu:

Thank heavens Clement didn't get it also. Over rated by everyone.
And Reiwoldt in a FP? Yep, this sure was chosen on position alright.
Useless AA selectors...I mean if Chris Mainwaring gets a go how can it be taken seriously?

Selecting Didak as an AA is a huge joke, and just ruins the reputation of this award. :)

Gilbee? He had an average season, I know, because I had to trade him form by dreamteam because he was playing so bad. Surely Johncock played much better.
Maybe u should have kept him because his last 10 weeks of football were awesome. Absolutely carved it up.
And Dreamteam doesn't take into account the fact that Lindsay Gilbee is the best kick in the AFL
In: Scott Lucas, James Clement, Troy Simmonds, Daniel Kerr
OUT:
Nick Riewoldt- Nothing Special this season, Lucas far better
Darren Glass- Just because Clement deserves it more
Dean Cox-not enough games for mine
Ben Cousins- Kerr was clearly better, and more influential this season

Why did I vote for Nathan Bassett?
Played most games in the backline as a free man. Most of the time he didn't have an opponent.
Gained most of his possessions via the chip-around game in the backline. That's how he managed to get the 22 mark record.
Alan Didak, the All Australian Half Forward Flank.

Quite hilarious actually. Bit like the Pies 2006 blink-and-you'll-miss-it finals campaign :)

im not sure why people are saying bowden shouldn't be in there, he should be in there but on a flank.
whinge and moan all you want but he is the number 2 ranked player for the year and everyone is judging him and saying he shouldn't be in there because he doesn't play on a man which is utter bullsh1t, watch a richmond game and you'll see that where ever joel's man is he is. he may not win every contest but no one does and because he has the balls to play off his man you's all think he is unnacountable.
stop trying to make sh1t up when you's all know he has had a fantastic year.
when you's can show me statistical proof that there was a better attacking defender this year then joel bowden then i'll stop defending him.
Facts are facts and Joel bowden is a elite playmaker of the afl and its quite evident that non-tiger supporters are upset that a richmond player is mixing it with the best and being recognised.
Cox by a mile. Simmonds was far better all year.
Thank heavens Clement didn't get it also. Over rated by everyone.

Heres were your wrong:
- that clement deserves it more, thats just pure bs
- that kerr was clearly better, ok better at some times but overall cuz was better

heres my 2c...
lucas in - riewoldt out
johncock in - mcleod out
kerr in - judd out
simmonds in - cox out
i think kerr and cuz were the standouts for the eagles midfield this year - i dont have any stats to back me up, but i saw every game and they had the most impact from what i saw...
probably a few other changes in there, but i havent seen as much of the other teams to comment...

actually i watched every game...
really, i would have kerr, cuz and judd in there - was just trying to be less biased by swapping an eagle for an eagle, rather than booting a player from another team - i thought kerr was more of a standout, more often, than judd this year, that is all
raises the question - do they pick who are the best players, or who performed better for the year - always seems to be a mish-mash of the two... dont think they will ever get it right :rolleyes:
anyway, time to don my fire-retardant suit - as i am sure i am about to get flame grilled from here on in...

his rap sheet says he only won selection in 04 previous to this year, and my memory is getting worse by the day... do correct me if i am wrong
