All Australian thread 2015

[pacman]

Wood or McGovern for most improved in 2015. Both amazing and both I didn't see coming. It's great to see.

Blicavs?

 

[RobbieGray17]

Pretty good team for mine.

Except Goldstein 2015 > Sandilainds 2015

 

[Lewy69]

Will give this a go. These are the players I think are killing it at the moment. Thoughts?

[HBFlanker]

Pendlebury seems to be in a huge amount of teams on here, is it just because there are no other Collingwood players in contention?

Wouldn't be anywhere near All Australian at the moment

He's definitely in the squad. 22 is up for debate.

It amazes me how a player can go from certainty to miles off contention in a matter of weeks. Some posters have punted McDonald from the squad which when you consider his first 9 weeks is ludicrous.

Pendles may have hit a dry patch but he's had some outstanding performances this season and generally maintained a very high output.

He is 4th in the coaches votes despite playing injured, he would probably be on the bench or just outside the team for mine.

 

[HBFlanker]

Fair enough, Sounds like he is doing enough

KPD has a few standouts who are really pressing claims and cementing themselves even further (Rance, McGov for example). Given that only 3 will make the team, a drop off for a few weeks can rule you out of the rolling squad to date, doesn't mean he will miss it in the end if he can bounce back for the remainder of the year.

This is what I find perplexing though. I really don't think Rance is that far ahead. Kennedy kicked 3-3 on him with a couple of easy misses and it's been described as "break even". What constitutes being beaten? He kept Franklin to 2 goals in a performance that supposedly cemented him in the side. McDonald kept him to 0.

Rance is in the side but he seems to have been given a couple of free passes not afforded to others.

I also think McPharlin is becoming the forgotten man in the KPD discussion. He's been sensational.

 

[RobbieGray17]

I might give it a go later, but how about a 1st and 2nd team. Then we can argue who gets upgraded and who gets downgraded; but not, Pittard is really unlucky not to make the 2nd list kinda thing. That way its easy to identify the second tier of players in each position.

Luke has been great. However we will likely rest him at various stages of the season so probably won't play as many games as the others. However I still regard him as one of the best Key defenders in the league.

Hurley not in your 22 and not even unlucky?

Pendles may have hit a dry patch but he's had some outstanding performances this season and generally maintained a very high output.

He's been clearly our best player this year, it's not even close.

I don't even think he's in that much of a form slump anyway. He's not 100% fit, but look at his numbers over the last 5 weeks:

28.4 disposals per game
1.2 goals
1.8 goal assists
5.8 clearances
4.8 tackles
4 wins (and one narrow loss)

Those numbers are an upgrade on his 2014 numbers and this year we're winning more games. He'll be in the side.

Not sure how you can have Cameron over Buddy.
Cameron doesn't have any area of the game this year over Buddy.

Not exactly the most contentious decision though, not a lot splitting them.

Jordan Lewis is an odd call. Has been pretty average for a while, especially since returning from suspension. I know this cause the campaigner is in my SC team On the games I've seen recently, he's been plumping up his stats after the game is done and dusted.

Sorry, bad copy/paste job, lumped him with Ballantyne, he's on the cusp, corrected it.

Pretty good side. The only question marks I'd have is the inclusion of Harry Taylor (and having 4 tall defenders) and Gaff on a HFF (not a goalkicker and barely gets any goal assists).

I also found it quite amusing how you say Hodge is not in contention but Anthony Miles is on the cusp! Hodge was poor on Saturday and has missed a few games but he would be close. Anthony Miles is no chance whatsoever.

 

[Royce Hafey]

Sydney had 16 inside 50s in the last quarter and they were kicking it to Buddy.

Wingard and Gray in the same team?

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Changed my tune. Could change again, there are more than 10 rounds to go.

Port are still s**t though, maybe one of them will be lucky enough to join Richmond before their career is over.
