News All Australian Squad - Alex Rance named CHB

[_DBF_]

Which key defs have been better than Rance?
Taylor gets a spot because Geel have a god given right, who else?
Mcpharlin & Glass are done, surely not Hooker.
Maybe Talia

seth

Talia, Hooker, E. Mackenzie is the general consensus.

Talia, Hooker, E. Mackenzie is the general consensus.

Jesus.... there are many teams with a back 3 better than that lot.

 

[TigerTime3]

By the time the Geelong, Sydney, Fremantle & Hawthorn players are selected no positions will be left.

Same old Same old; the All Australian side is the biggest joke since International Rules

Do you remember when Harry O'Brien was selected over Brett Deledio?!

 

[DrMike]

Rance vs Buddy to decide if he'll be in the 22 man squad

 

[Foley#41]

Cotch, Rance and Dusty in the squad with only Dusty to be named.
Sad, but true.

 

[Calcium Man]

Talia, Hooker, E. Mackenzie is the general consensus.

in 3 teams we've beaten over the last month

Sydney have the stingiest defence in the comp and in think we are top 4?? That should be enough to name at least one player in there but no it won't happen.

2011 with Murphy and Leon Davis were not quite as bad but still a horrible choice

[M0557]

Honorable mentions, but i don't think we will field any this year.....

Hooker hahaha

Holy s**t, didn't realise he averaged 10 more touches. What a joke. And one of the only stats O'Brien is ahead on is TOG.

Hooker hahaha

Regarded amongst some key forwards as the best defender in the comp. Will be AA and deservedly so.

Rance vs Buddy to decide if he'll be in the 22 man squad

Don't think he'll get in. Has been good though.

Cotch, Rance and Dusty in the squad with only Dusty to be named.
Sad, but true.

Probably fair enough if we're honest. Cotch a sneaky chance to make the IC I hope. Rance been very good but some of our supporters act like he's the good tall defender in the AFL. Making the squad of 40 would be a great reward for his season

 

[Tigerbob]

Alex Rance and Dustin Martin should be AA this year. That's my opinion. Rance and Talia as KPD.

Martin either half forward or bench.

 

[Conca Truck]

Talia, Hooker, E. Mackenzie is the general consensus.

Yep along with Rance, there the guys probably competing for 2-3 spots.
Rance, Ellis and Dusty could make the squad of 40, but I'm not sure any will make the final cut.

 

[Coxy_]

Bobby Carlile should make the squad of 40 as well.

Regarded amongst some key forwards as the best defender in the comp. Will be AA and deservedly so.

Can I ask which KPF and where they said this??

That is a disgrace. Did not realise Lids got dicked so hard...twice.

Lids has always flown under the radar though, consistently been one of our best and best in the comp whichever position he plays and doesn't get the respect he deserves.

This year, I reckon Ellis, Cotch and Dusty will make prelim and Dusty will make the best 22.

biggest effin joke of all time

 

[tigerT]

Hooker hit the wall about 5-6 weeks ago - 1st half of the season very good, since fletch went out he cant peel off as easily and his rebound/intercepting has fallen drastically. I think Rance has been comfortably better than Hooker and McKenzie this season.

Martin will go close and Cotch is a sneaky chance

 

[_DBF_]

If Deledio plays a full season up front next year, he will kick 40 +, he will be AA.

 

[Coxy_]

Can I ask which KPF and where they said this??

Jono Brown, Trav Cloke & Jay Schulz. Sarge said it on twitter when asked, Brown on one of those club internet videos and Cloke was on the footy show (sunday or thursday, can't remember)talking up Hooker as a top defender.

 

[Straya]

Looking at that recent article about Martin and his stats this year, Martin.

 

[Hate]

Surely God cemented his spot in the squad tonight?

 

[Neen]

Rance is a given. Cotchin has had a huge 10 weeks, and Lids has been massive in the last 6 weeks. Martin has been consistent and a match winner.

[_RT_]

Brandon Ellis - 22 Games 26.4 disposals 5.6 marks 2.4 tackles 0.5 goals
Dustin Martin - 21 Games 25.3 disposals 5 marks 2.6 tackles 1.3 goals
Alex Rance - 17 Games 17.4 disposals 5.7 marks 2.8 tackles 1.1 goal conceded

Congratulations to the 3 of them being named in the 40 man All Australian squad. A reward for consistent seasons and for also playing a major part in our surge back up the ladder.
