Preview 2025 All Australian - Who makes it?

[DukeX]

It's annoying that these bullshit decisions are the accolades that these players carry through their careers.
J Cameron will retire an AA Captain, it will always be next to his name, but does not deserve it. Daws may not be in this position again (unlikely), and misses out on it. Same for Worrell.

 

[Trigger13]

This BS should only reinforce the us v the rest of the world mentality. **** em all. Let’s win this ****n thing.

 

[Crow till I die]

You could watch the big v win the all stars match

Talking Big V as a point of interest...how much would the 1988 Big V side beat this current AA side on talent if we discount the eras and playing styles involved but just look at man for man on ability.

 

[George CantStandYa]

lol, I’d like to see Kornes come out and explain this.

You’ve got a Captain lead his team from 15th to Minor Premier, single handedly turned games, voted players captain and they give it to a bloke who captains cattle.

 

[treeman]

Lol bad enough no Worrel but Jeremy Cameron

captain over Thilthorpe is taking the piss.

 

[MrBarry]

It's an absolute WWE league when you see this sort of stuff happening, not one AFC defender named and the best captain in the league, given the VC role and loses out to a bloke who couldn't captain a paper bag.

We will need a siege mentality if we think they are going to let us win this thing.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Need to take Brownlow voting away from the umpires and AA selection away from these chumps

Coaches votes for Brownlow
Players vote for AA

I think JC has effectively dethroned himself with his speech! Rightly so. That leaves Dawson as the pick of the captain/midfielders.

 

[pjcrows]

This year's selection panel has a strong whiff of people who are trying to be overly clever and off-trend, but have just made themselves look like idiots.

 

[Firewalker]

Worrell’s exclusion screams of hardly anybody on the panel knowing who he was for the first 10 weeks of the season and then after they did know who he was Kane Cornes getting a bee in his bonet and getting Daniel Hoyne from Champion Data to come up with some bullshit stat that Worrell wasn’t in the top 20 of something for defenders and then just incessantly going on about it on the panel as the reason why you can’t select him.

 

[Crows I Am]

Bont on the bench would have been a better option

Or Harris Andrews

 

[FR0GGY]

Shut up Dillion and re announce the AA captain.

 

[Rash]

Vic Bias strikes once again. As a port adelaide supporter no Worrell absolutely mind twisting.

, give me a spell.

 

[Hbanger]

How a side who finished 9th has more AA's than the minor premier is beyond me. Must be a first?

Battle feels like a very Cornes pick, given his love of the Horks

 

[BRL121]

This year's selection panel has a strong whiff of people who are trying to be overly clever and off-trend, but have just made themselves look like idiots.

I think that's far closer to the point than the posters above whinging about anti-Crows bias. There's absolutely nothing in this that's overtly anti-Crows.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Someone picked it today, they reward players who have a few AA’s like they did with Buddy

I think this concept is ****ing ridiculous.

Handing some of the most decorated players of all time (Buddy) this title, as a quasi participation/lifetime achievement award is bizarre. It's not the time or place.

Cameron doesn’t need any more acknowledgement than he's already going to get.

 

[The Karma Bus]

It's all about looking after and buttering the legacy of their football community and fave's over there.
Hawkins and Buddy got AA Captain.
Cameron getting older, got their chance to have him forever crowned an AA Captain.

Didn’t they do it with Hawkins too?

 

[Peter Doherty]

Did they do it with Hawkins too?

Yep.

? What an embarrassment this AA shit has become.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Just popping in to say the Cameron selection as captain over the likes of Dawson (or really any of the other captains) was laughable, to the point even Cameron was questioning it. Just topped off a laughable night all around.

Good luck for next Thursday, and for the rest of the season.
