It's not hard FFS.
 
Selwood was the only player in the all Australian team. (Back to Back)
He needs support from our other players and this is the least we have had for ages.
 
Still fuming about the Hawkins omission from the team. He single handily won us games off his own boot (first Hawthorn game, Collingwood, Essendon sealer etc). His record against quality teams is probably only behind Franklin. Clearly the best FULL FORWARD. And not only that, he carried our entire forward line. Joke he didn't make it.
 
Can't help but feel Riewoldt was chosen ahead of Hawkins solely because they wanted him as vice captain. Can you seriously believe that anyone would prefer Nick to Hawkins in their forward line?

Led them bravely all the way to the spoon - romantic nonsense from the selectors; in which case, where was Lonergan's guernsey?
Riewoldt had a good year, kept his chin up despite running around with a rabble, ran hard as always.
But Tom Hawkins genuinely scared the bejesus out of defenses this year.

this exactly - particularly the bolded!
 
Funny how all through the announcement of the side the selection panel kept talking about selecting players in position they played through the year.

Would love to know how many games Franklin played Full Forward.

If they wanted Franklin in he had to be CHF if it was then a choice between he and Reiwoldt then it is up to them to decide but Hawkins was the clear choice for Full Forward

Yeah I was surprised too, franklin played CHF for most the season. But Riewoldt was a general this season, he kept the structures and opened up space for his teammates.
 
Well now it looks like the AA can now join the State of Origin, the MRP, the Tribunal and the AFL generally as having...
