Good to see Lewis and Sewell getting credit for their excellent starts to the season. They would be battling for top spot in our B&F to date. As a rule, taggers like Sewell don't make AA sides but his form to date is hard to ignore. Lewis has really stepped up as a key midfielder so far this year, important given Hodge's slow start to the year and Mitchell's quiet one on the weekend.

Hasnt played enough games AS a ruckman - they were using Brogan mainly for the ruck work in the other games, but Lade never lost his great ability - if he had played as no. 1 ruckman in all the games I would agree by not atm

Not after 1 great game and the rest fairly lacklustre

Not much competition for the small forward role. Its either him or no one. Davey Farmer Davis etc all been unanimous through injury/suspension
McIntosh is the best ruckman so far this year. No arguments.
Smashed Fraser, took the points against Lade and Brogan (Lade was terrible), was good against an admittedly average pair in Campbell and Taylor and absoluteley carved Charman and Wood. Has only had part time help and has had more posessions this year than any ruckman in the AFL.
Brent Harvey would be in the side, too.

Ebert's been playing well - but yes going over everything Jonno's best choice

His game on the weekend was very good, and 34 hitouts is pretty freakish, but has to do more around the ground.
Had 3 possessions vs North, and when we are only talking about the first four games that has to count.

Wasn't exactly a good day for full-forwards yesterday. Shocking weather earlier and then Fev was starved of oppotunities late.
Have a look at your full-forward, he dominated in the conditions didn't he?
They can't have all Essendon players. Maybe either Mcphee or Fletcher? Stanton only played his first really good game for the season this week.

Ebert has been good with 13 goals, and as a small forward, shouldn't he be in the team? Brilliant stuff by him.
brent harvey has had all four games over 20 touches and 3 over 25. 2 goals 3 times and 4 once.
Wells has 3 games 20 plus with a few goals.
Mcintosh, form ruckman of the comp although hard to go past sandilands.
From that bunch Harvey is a definate and probably the only roos player impartial judges would have.

Adam Mcphee would be there over Wirrpanda and Sewell.

Was barely playing full foward mate - all around the groundWasn't exactly a good day for full-forwards yesterday. Shocking weather earlier and then Fev was starved of oppotunities late.

And he should have at least gotten 2-2
anyway the rain was gone by half time and I would expect Fevola to be able to produce something great when everyone talks him up so much (No doubt he is a great player though)
Hey I like Rutten and the Crows, just OBVIOUSLY i rate Glass higher when they have both been about the same (Bias of course) Shouldnt really even count what we think in the matter because of course were gonna pick our own team most of the time
BTW its not fair to talk about Lynch in that way.... Hes crap half the time in good weather

Hell no. Wirra is in there for sure. Sewell maybe but McPhee hasnt shown his consistency yet. Could replace him with D.Fletcher but not any of the other 2

Hansen had 3 possessions the other week, so one good game and suddenly he is AA? Lynch is hopeless, can't kick to save his own life.

Marks
McIntosh - 16
Sandilands - 20
Same as Disposals, not a huge difference.

Sandilands - 4
Sandilands has more goals. Good on him. Now fo the major difference.
Hitouts
McIntosh - 59
Sandilands - 118
Sandilands has almost double what McIntosh has.

Sandilands rucks by himself plus McIntosh taps are much more effective I feel. Difference is they do have the same amount of disposal but McIntoshs disposal by foot is pure class and ALOT better then Sandilands.
