All Australian thread 2014

lol @ your delusion - what does Heppell do better than a priddis, miles, barlow, libba? they are essentially all the same type of player.

Beats hard tags for a start

 

[Boggle]

I wasn't complaining, it was a genuine question. Just a bit unusual for a final four team not to have an AA rep.
Couldn't be happier with the way we have performed as a team this year

Yep. Your guy's team performance has been nothing short of outstanding.

Some of the Richmond supporters are not Kanga fans, to say the least, but I'm hoping you guys go all the way! Good luck!

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Yes and that moron would have been the main contributor in selecting Sandi.

Lol seriously clutching at straws. It was a line ball 50-50 call and it didn't go your way, Get over it and move on.

 

[Halftimehero]

There are people actually questioning Heppell's selection? Dear God. He would surely have been one of the very first picked.

His year was absolutely sensational, by any stretch.

It's simply ludicrous (and extremely biased and/or ignorant) to argue otherwise.

I would say a lot of people are trying to justify there ridiculous comments about him at the start of the season, he is an absolute star and this will be the first of multiple all australian awards.

Just when crows fans FINALLY get over the Naitanui over Jacobs 2012 selection they decide to throw this one at us.

I don't get the angst at his selection. He's a gun and deserves his spot. Predicting multiple AA awards is not unreasonable, IMO.

Hawkins over Riewoldt all day, every day.

Glad to see Rance make it. Parker unlucky but I can't see who goes out for him (Pendlebury?).

We are all gonna hear about this for a long.

 

[Blind Turn]

I'd argue Franklin has that mantle and has actually been selected out of position in the AA team.

As a floating forward who does a lot of his best work at ground level I disagree with you here emphatically. Roo is a hard leading, marking CHF and that is his position. Franklin is by no means out of position in any of the 6 forward spots. I don't think this can be in dispute.

 

[tigerT]

I had him on my bench and Rockliff on the ground. Pendles was no better than Hep this year, in fact he struggled a bit without the release that Swan gives their midfield. And while I'll give you Barlow, who is routinely underrated, Miles is a bit of a Richmond piss-take on your behalf. Sure, the kid impressed but he has some catching up to do yet.

Fair post - yeh I threw in Miles cheekily. Think Pendles first half of the season is undersold/forgotten a bit, did drop off towards the end.

Hep was definitely in the mix for mine has had a brilliant season but if we were going to go the full monty with players in proper positions I wouldnt have him on the wing, I'd have him just missing out on the inside mid quota to the players I named in my previous post and would've found room for parker. That's not a slight on the kid

Not exactly a CHF is he?

But don't you know the Big Footy logic? If you have different hair you cant possibly be any good

 

[Heisenberg_]

Not for Rance he doesn't. Rance doesn't need any help.

Rance does it for Chaplin though.

 

[tek87]

Sandilands should have been first picked. did not lose in his position all year including destroying Jacobs

 

[Righteo]

Not exactly a CHF is he?

I see what you're saying but true CHF types in the Riewoldt mould are pretty few and far between these days.

 

[seanoff]

Seems a pretty solid team.

Not too much wrong with it tbh.

 

[tigerT]

Again with this Miles s**t. Just lol.

answer the question. you wont bc you know there is no standout -

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Can't agree there
Hawkins dominated the opponents he should have, and got dominated against the ones more evenly matched
Dare I say, he was a bully

How many genuine wingers are there these days though? they are all just a part of midfield rotations, Heppell has a perfect balance of inside and outside play.

 

[Footyfan85]

Riewoldt over Hawkins lol WTF???

I hope someone got fired for that monumental utensil up

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

He is fat enough to play CHF and FF at the same time.

It's simply ludicrous (and extremely biased and/or ignorant) to argue otherwise.

There's one extreme of saying he shouldn't be in, and there's the other extreme of him being one of the first picked.

Neither is true. He absolutely deserves AA selection, but wouldn't have been one of the first picked.

 

[Halftimehero]

You have just lost all credibility putting Miles in there, give me a ******* spell

 

[Boggle]

But don't you know the Big Footy logic? If you have different hair you cant possibly be any good

So it's all about the hair do? Might explain why Dusty didn't get in!

Personally, I think it has more to do with the colour of the gurnsey.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Riewoldt over Hawkins lol WTF???

Again Hawkins is not a CHF, never was, never will be.

He is a FF so he was contending with Buddy and Roughead for their spots.
