Sorry to intrude.
How Pendlebury can get on the bench ahead of Parker is astounding.
Anyway given quite a few of my mates are norf fans. They have been giving it to me, so if you wouldn't mind thumping them it would be greatly appreciated. 6th shouldn't make a GF. Good luck for the weekend

Parker is gonna be fired up and have a *en blinder on friday night. what a crock of s**t
Great reward for Buddy, Kennedy, Smith & Mal. Good to see an actual lock down defender get acknowledged.
Parker very stiff but predictable he would miss, even though All-Australian is suppose to be a reward for the current season and that particular season alone, the panel consistently overlooks those players for ones who have had 2-3 good years in a row. He'll get rewarded soon enough though.

Yeh I think the second point is particularly important. The selectors wanted to pick players in their actual spots so even though nobody would consider Ballantyne to have had a better year in absolute terms than Parker, I can't really argue their logic.
actually one of the better AA squads i think, not littered with midfielders on every line. Disappointed luke didnt make it but you cant say any of the guys who got in didnt deserve it. Maybe Pendles was a bit lucky, probably would be the sub.

How is Gunston a flog? He isn't over the top on the field, isn't very outspoken and is a great person off the field.
Was always going to be hard for Parker to make the squad, but at the age of only 21 he will have plenty more opportunities in the future.
Fantastic to see Nick Smith make the team!!! Most deserved!!
Parker stiff, probably pendlebury the really lucky one but I cannot argue with the rest of the team because all of them deserved it. ALSO WHOO WE HAVE THE MOST PLAYERS, 4!!! YAYYY!
I think this new attitude of the selectors must be in reaction to selections like Swan's which the public reacted so vigourously to. So it's a bummer for Parker but this is what the general public seemed to want.
Parker will have plenty of time to make the aa, and will make the aa plenty of times. id say he's a shoe in for 2015.
pendles started the year like a house on fire, finished of decent, but he's still very much in everyones minds as an elite mid, so no surprise there
im extremely happy for Smith, he's been on the radar for a few years now, but its pleasing for him to finally receive the accolades he deserves

All-Australian isn't always a reflection of the best side for the year. Often it's about correcting snubs from previous years. At least two years of elite status is usually the norm. Parker has just had his first elite year, so I expect him to a staple be in the team until about 2023 or so to cushion the blow of tonight.

I'd drop Rockliff for Parker, keep Ballantyne because he averaged the most goals out of the small forwards.

Happy with that. Smith deserves a spot and good to see he was finally recognised for his defensive duties this season. Maybe no more the "most underrated player in the AFL" 
Parker was a bit unlucky, but eh, looking at the final result, who would you put him ahead of? Also, thought Jacobs was a bit better than Sandilands this year.

Outstanding effort for 4 AA
Could easily be 5 but there is time for Vonn's sperms bank to get plenty.
2 thumbs up

I know you can't measure influence by stats alone, but i thought i'd pull up this
http://finalsiren.com/PlayerCompare...=Compare&SelectedPlayers=2126,1546,1760,1656,
Luke Parker last for avg possession, but 1st among those 5 for tackles and goals.
