2013 All Australian Team

[Watson_my_mind]

This thread started early on last year so why not now during round five.

It will be interesting to see how the people's teams change during the course of the year


B: Yarran Lonergan Goddard
HB: Birchall Carlisle Hanley
C: Cotchin Watson Cornes
HF: L. Thomas Cloke Westhoff
FF: Rioli Franklin Stokes
R: Cox Selwood Mitchell
INT: Liberatore Pendlebury Boak Deledio

 

[SSSSSS]

Goddard on a back pocket doesn't sit right with me. Same with Yarran, I don't think he has played as a defender all year.

Should find a spot for Harry Taylor though and maybe another ruckman.

 

[Balony_pony16]

Didn't Yarran struggle in the first games?

 

[Balony_pony16]

Also....ablett should be in

 

[Watson_my_mind]

yolo

 

[Rack Watts]

Ablett and Hibberd?

 

[Bardo State]

Yarran in a back pocket seems a tad strange. Has played wing/HF

Someone like Hibberd, Stratton or Harbrow would be better suited IMO

As has been said Taylor has been better than Lonergan

I'd also like Charlie Dixon for the Ruck/Fwd role and not sold on Goldstein as the ruckman

 

[SSSSSS]

Hibberd, Stratton, and even Brett Goodes is surely in contention for a back pocket spot this year. Enright has been good as well and he always features on All-Australian lists. Malceskis been pretty good aswell although I'd say he plays higher up on the defence.

 

[La Vache]

After round 4 this is mine:

B: Harbrow (GC) - Jamison (Carl) - Hanley (Bris)
HB: Douglas (Adel) - Taylor (Geel) - Birchall (Haw)
C: Fyfe (Freo) - Watson (Ess) - K Cornes (Port)
HF: McVeigh (Syd) - Westhoff (Port) - Stokes (Geel)
F: Walters (Freo) - Cloke (Coll) - L Thomas (NM)

R: McEvoy (StK) - Boak (Port) - J Selwood (Geel)

I: Stanton (ESS), Jack (Syd), C Dixon (GC), N Riewoldt (StK)

SQUAD - Midfielders: Boak, Cornes, Watson, J Selwood, Jack, Stanton, Sloane, S Mitchell, J Kennedy (SYD), Liberatore, Cotchin.

Forwards: Westhoff, Stokes, Cloke, L Thomas, McVeigh, Christensen, Walters, N Riewoldt, A Walker, Franklin, J Riewoldt, Wingard.

Defenders: Birchall, Harbrow, Jamison, Douglas, Hanley, H Taylor, Carlisle, Hibberd, S Thompson (NM), Hodge, Geary, Mackie.

Rucks: McEvoy, C Dixon, Belchambers, Minson.

Every match i rank the my ten players and use that as a guide.

 

[Bardo State]

Without too much thought

HB Hibberd Carlisle Hanley
HB Birchall Taylor Harbrow
C Deledio Ablett Cornes
HF Westhoff Cloke Stokes
FF Rioli Franklin Thomas
R Cox Selwood Watson
IC Dixon Pendlebury Swan Mitchell

Minson, Cotchin, Liberatore, Cotchin, Breust, Fyfe, Bozk, Reiwoldt x2, Malceski, Burgoyne, Reid, Thompson (Nth), Stratton, Douglas, Bellchambers, Wingard, Jack, Goddard to make up the squad

 

[SSSSSS]

Backpockets : Harbrow, Stratton, Hibberd, B.Goodes, Enright,
Half back flankers - Birchall, A.Walker, Hanley, Douglas, Mackie, Malceski, Goddard, Geary
KPDS: Taylor, Carlisle, Jamison, Scott Thompson, Lonergan

Midfielders - Mitchell, Boak, Cornes, Watson, J.Selwood, K.Jack, Sloane, LibbaJR, Cotchin, Deledio, Pendlebury, GAJ
Rucks- McEvoy, Bellchambers, Cox, Charlie Dixon, Minson, the Q-Stick

Half forwards - Mcveigh, Westhoff, Burgoyne, Wingard, Breust, Fyfe (more a mid)
Forward pockets - Stokes, L.Thomas, Walters, Elliot, Yarran, Rioli
KPF's: Buddy, Cloke, Riewoldt x 2

You could make a good team with these selections.

 

[Rack Watts]

Without too much thought

C'mon, there's "without much thought" and then there's "having two half-back lines"

 

[Bardo State]

Yeah fair enough I guess Not many back pocket types have stood out to me in the games I've seen bar maybe Stratton

 

[KP78]

Taylor and Carlisle have both been outstanding, I think there is definitely room for both. (one on the bench but which one I couldn't tell you)

Not meaning any offence but it kind of feels like in some instances you are picking the team based on name and not current form. (which is exactly what the AA selectors do at times)

 

[Rack Watts]

FB: Hibberd, Taylor, Hanley
HB: Stratton, Carlisle, Birchall
C: J.Selwood, Ablett, K. Cornes
R: Minson, Cotchin, Watson
HF: Stokes, Westhoff, McVeigh
FF: Rioli, Cloke, L.Thomas
Int: Boak, Fyfe, Jack, Walters

 

[Richo83]

Taylor has been better than Lonergan while Deledio has been better than Cotchin while Yablett needs to be in.

I'd also replace Goldstein for Cox if you going by this seasons form while Bellchambers has also been very impressive either ruck or forward.

Disagree, in rounds 1, 2, 4 Cotchin has been better. I'd put in both as both have performed their roles at a high standard, but it's early days. Both could struggle tomorrow and fall out of contention.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Doing this off the top of my head, I'm favouring the more successful teams.

B: P Hanley (Bris) - J Carlisle (Ess) – M Hibberd (Ess)
HB: B Deledio (Rich) - H Taylor (Geel) - G Birshall (Haw)
C: T Cotchin (Rich) - J Watson (Ess) – T Boak (Port)
HF: J Westhoff (Port) - J Riewoldt (Rich) - N Fyfe (Fre)
F: C Rioli (Haw) - T Cloke (Coll) - L Franklin (Haw)
R: D Cox (WC) - J Selwood (Geel) - J McVeigh (Syd)
I: H Hartlett (Port), K Jack (Syd), R Sloane (Adel), S Sidebottom (Coll)

While I think Wingard has been better than Lindsay Thomas, I don't want to overload the team with Port players. I know my player positions are off.

edit: Swapped Rioli in for Thomas.

 

[Zach Package]

B: Hibberd (Ess) - Carlisle (Ess) - Stratton (Haw)
HB: Hanley (Bris) - Taylor (Geel) - Birchall (Haw)
C: Ablett (GC) - Watson (Ess) - K Cornes (Port)
HF: Fyfe (Freo) - Westhoff (Port) - Stokes (Geel)
F: Dixon (GC) - Cloke (Coll) - L Thomas (NM)

R: McEvoy (StK) -Boak (Port) - J Selwood (Geel)

I: Deledio (Rich), McVeigh (Syd), Pendlebury (Coll), Cotchin (Rich)

I think i've definitely missed someone

 

[Corrosion]

Jamison would be the only one in contention from Carlton at the moment. Been immense at FB so far. Only had 2 goals kicked on him in the first 4 games. Kept Kennedy, Cloke and J. Riewoldt goalless.

 

[You Heard Me]

6 locks - Carlisle and Jamison, Cotchin and Watson, Westhoff and Cloke.

 

[KP78]

6 locks - Carlisle and Jamison, Cotchin and Watson, Westhoff and Cloke.

Potential bias but if we are measuring it only to this point of the season, Selwood has been massive.

Selwood has been massive so far. Would definitely be in the starting mid-field spots.

 

[Mantastic]

6 locks - Carlisle and Jamison, Cotchin Selwood and Watson, Westhoff and Birchall Cloke.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Based on the 4 games, Boak is definitely a lock as well.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Hawthorn-Birchall/Franklin/Rioli
Geelong-Selwood/Stokes/Taylor
GC-Ablett
Essendon-Carlisle/Watson/
Fremantle-Walters/Fyfe

Would all be locks for that "round 4 AA team" from what i've seen (ive seen like 1 port adelaide team, stat wise however Westhoff would look to be getting a spot)

Franklin is missing in a few teams, He's still the premier CHF, Much more accurate,

Yarran has been nice however he's still sitting in a team in a bad position, He would be looked at for a HFF however

Matty Stokes from geelong has been suprising, Has played with the consistancy which he's never had like a lot of his team-mates have for the past 5 years
