I was replying to a diff post. Sorry mate. Must have got caught in the cross-fire.
You still had McGovern in your team and I was asking why...

He is a automatic in, just like Buddy Franklin.
Both are stars of course, but the AA selectors pencil those 2 names in before the launch of the season.
Darcy competed well in the ruck like i was expecting, some of Grundys taps were pure class though.Huge game for Grundy yesterday. Probably seals it for mine.
Interestingly, our 19 yr old did Ok with him. I'll take that.
Grundy 34h/o 6m
Darcy 35h/o 4m
Was late morning on the Monday after round 23 last year so I imagine the same again.When does the squad get announced?

Lance will probably return in the next 3 weeks. I've probably moved Gaff out 3 weeks too early, but he won't be making it, so why not do it now.

* The spread is fair, not to unbiased in favour of one team.
*Felt Collingwood stiff to only have one inclusion but injuries, and role players who haven’t put together a big year instead, shown big patches. To fix this I’ve placed Grundy as the No.1 Ruck, toss of a coin whether it’s him or Gawn. I went Grundy secondly because he’s also like a midfielder, regularly tackles in high numbers and even gets 20+ disposals a game and hit the 30 mark a few times for a ruck.
*Jack Riewoldt the captain, when I compare his year to Hurns, my secondary person, I just thought Riewoldts year has been more important to Richmond. Take Hurn out? I think West Coast can cover for him, take Riewoldt out? Richmond are ******.
Any disagreements with my squad of 40?
Dylan Grimes would have to be the most overrated defender

Not a bad start..
Why no Neville Jetta?Gunston next in, but I didn't have room for him considering I have two rucks and three key forwards. He would come in for Hawkins if he came in.

I agree, Rance has not had a great year. Maybe no other obvious choice for full back though.Rance should be nowhere near it.
I agree he should make the squad. He’s in my squad for sure. But doesn’t have enough offensive output to make the team even though he’s improved his intercept marking.Nah that is not right. He's rarely ever beaten. Doesn't have the numbers to make the 22 but if he's not in the squad there is something wrong.

I thought it was today and then the 22 is named on Wednesday but I could be wrong
when’s the squad of 40 released?
