Could have gotten more clicks if you didn't include "Barrett's". No one cares what this hack has to say about the game.

Had ******* Mason Cox in there ffs. What's the bet the gutless little flog completely overlooks any of our moments/big performances (ie Freeborn 96GF, Carey 97QF in particular, Drewy 2014EF, Goldstein 2014SF) in favour of Buddy scratching his balls or something

Actually - if he omits Carey 94QF winning the game in extra time on one leg he's officially the worst footy analyst in the whole ******* country. If you're reading Damo, heck off

 

[giantroo]

Not a single player in the AA squad.

As a stupid SEN listener ( l know, therapy is booked ) they have this " September to Remember " thing they run with every year with players recounting their memories of great finals wins.

Not once have l heard a North player.

Apart from uncontested "Intercept" marks, what do Ridley and Haynes actually do to deserve All Australian ?

 

[DarwinRoo]

Gawn, Bont and Dusty get in on reputation.

Benefit from the modern games lack of 1 on 1 defending.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

No point getting angry. We got treated like this even when we were a decent side.

surprised?

i cant think of any players that had years that suggested anything otherwise. taz started ok but was far from his best season, BBB had a mare and cunners didnt play, not any more candidates after that. its a made up honor anyway, Keith Greig never had any AAs.

Goldstein and L-Mac?

 

[koshari]

Goldstein and L-Mac?

I grant LMac had a good year and little doubt he was best for us but for a half back i would have Nick Haynes before him every day of the week,

Geez...Goldy stiff AF to not even make the squad. What a wankfest

 

[Dan]

Not a single player in the AA squad.

Simpkin could have made the squad but Goldstein is the surprising omission.

Although I shouldn't be surprised.

Compared to Gawn & Grundy......Goldstein has more clearances, contested possessions and goals.

LOL no Adelaide or Gold Coast players.. (looks further down)... oh right

 

[Heaps of fun]

Not a single player in the AA squad.

Didn't deserve one TBH. Luke, Jy and Goldstein all had fade ins/outs. Jed wasn't one of the best 25 mids in the game.

Correct. Goldy tapered right off and LMac isn't far off but not there yet. Jy and Jed not even close

Jy could well be in there next year. Lack of support around him ground him down. His first six weeks were electric.

 

[muttley45]

Is that the same Nick Haynes that Mason Wood made disappear when we played them ?

and Gawn never had a poor run of form or missed 3 games with injury.

Goldy most certainly did. Other players have tapered off and missed games and they still get selected. It's a joke. That excuse is only used for our players.

 

[the flying ham]

We finished 2nd last what did we think would happen?

Did this stop Gawn being AA last year?

He tapered pretty badly. Doubt he'll get a Brownlow vote in the last ten games. Could have twelve after the first four. By round 10 even Rhys Stanley was beating him in the hit outs and he didn't crack 30 again for the rest of the year.
