2025 Rolling ALL-Australian Team

[Schulzenfest]

Hate to agree with the Crows fans but Worrell over Battle shouldn't even be a question.

 

[fpm84]

Think Serong was lucky to make it but not convinced Holmes and Butters had a definitively better year.

More would have had another forward or back instead.

Love that Clark made the team but Holmes clearly had a better season than Serong IMO.

 

[RCAB]

He’s the number one interceptor in the league in a team that finished a game clear on top and had a top 2 defense, of course it’s ridiculous he missed. Battle is a good player no doubt, but there was clearly a better option this year.

We'll find out in a couple of weeks who was the "better" option.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Number one intercept player in the number 2 defense? Ok

And yet the statement stands.

Vlastuin was the only thing stopping Richmond getting more beltings.
Should have been the first defender picked.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

How about Ben King - 69 goals and 2nd in the Coleman. Doesn't make the AA team.

Doesn’t get in over Thilhorpe and Cameron both are better this year. They went the mediums and one small which is to be fair the way teams are these days

 

[RCAB]

Daicos would be pretty pissed not making the starting 18.

Watch him come out and get 40 and 3 against Adelaide.

Unlucky Adelaide

 

[Demon in Hell]

Jeez, how pi55ed would you be right now if you had to skull every time Howey said congratulations tonight.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Oh and skull. Purple Suit with his GFC envy so we take a shot.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

which of the starting midfielders did daicos have a better season than?

Richards comfortably.

 

[rye]

Richards comfortably.

wrong

 

[hdi]

4 mids on the bench FFS

Ridiculous bench - any excuse just to squeeze more mids in and not make a 'tough' call

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Missed 5 games - less than a quarter of the year - and only one more game than Smith. No.1 ranked player in the comp since round 12.
Thoroughly deserved.

Downhill skiing against all the shit teams you beat up on

 

[Toffee Lion]

Nick looks exactly the same as that school photo.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

wrong

Not according to the coaches or the players.

 

[gambinotosserflog]

I'm baffled as a Hawks fan how Daicos is on the bench.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Think Serong was lucky to make it but not convinced Holmes and Butters had a definitively better year.

More would have had another forward or back instead.

Definitely over butters I mean Butters had some woeful games in there

 

[Stax on the mill]

Why? He had a good year but not as good as previous

Could say the same about a couple of selections from your team. Daicos would have been one of the first picked in 2023 and 2024. He wasn’t far below that this year. Could name 3-4 in starting 18 that he should have been ahead of.

Just hope he takes out the Brownlow to stick it up the d.ckhead selectors.

 

[Grockadoc]

Ridiculous bench - any excuse just to squeeze more mids in and not make a 'tough' call

Yep. Should be 1 bench slot for a defender, one for a mid, one for a forward and one for a 2nd ruck.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

We'll find out in a couple of weeks who was the "better" option.

Are you assuming a win over GWS?

 

[Rash]

Definitely over butters I mean Butters had some woeful games in there

woeful games, shut up mate

hes had 2 bad games, thats literally all, look at his stats.

 

[Amacca 23]

We'll find out in a couple of weeks who was the "better" option.

Adelaide wont be in bali

 

[Daka]

Yeah, I still don't rate the AA shocking award!

over Vlastuin and Worrell give me a spell...

 

[kreglze]

I understand why King was not the sexy pick and was touch and go to make it. But 69 goals in a year is a bloody good year of footy.

 

[JasRulz63]

I reckon Bailey got the position Rankine would've gotten if not for the events of the last fortnight.

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

Bont has 7 selections to my count. Ablett Jr had 8, is that the record?
