2018 Rolling All Australian Team

[juss]

Fyfe was great today with virtually no real impact on the contest. His team scored 33 points and lost by 77, Fyfe didnt do any damage.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

I'll challenge that.

Hurn has been great and should be in the team. Not at the expense of Stewart however.
He's held an inexperienced defence together and would romp the B&F if it was done now.

They both play the same position, Hurn not only stops his man but provides passing that
few players in the league can do.
Hurn and Gaff would be leading our BF at the moment

 

[Partridge]

Reckon Grimes should be in the frame after a superlative last month. Probably not enough stats or polish for the selectors.

He lacks "X-factor". Can't have defenders in the team who actually defend.

 

[bunderson]

Brad Sheppard.Can't remember the last time he was beaten.

These types don't really make AA though.

could not agree more!!
been sensational so far this year.

Interesting comments in here with Seedsman & Smith. I won't get into the debate which is better because both are having an awesome start to the year and probably deserving. Personally I'd make the case both should be in at this point in time. A quick look at their stats shows they are pretty well on par too... Unfortunately the one stat I couldn't add is the one in which Seedsman leads the comp in(or was, not sure if it changed over this round) and a pretty important one - meters gained.

Seedsman - 637.7m
Smith - 473.3m

I'd give Seedsman the edge so far, but if we were picking an AA team, Smith would be my choice for the other wing. Both have had a cracking start to the year.

superstar at marking and getting the ball but doesn't do any damage with it.
poor disposal and too many clangers

Yeah. Nah. Is the best player in the comp by a stretch.

 

[bunderson]

yeah true....except when the game is on the line in the derby against a crap West Coast midfield.
And in the derby before that as well I suppose.

 

[Ron The Bear]

He lacks "X-factor". Can't have defenders in the team who actually defend.

He's mean. Old school defender mean. Is personally affronted at the prospect of being beaten.

But a lovely chap off the field.

Just another casual 25 touches 7 marks & 3 goals by Hogan.


Now for a true CHF averages 21 touches, 6 MARKS & 2.5 goals a game.

Candidates from Collingwood so far are

Grundy, a lock at this stage IMO.

Treloar-Pendles-Sidebottom, amongst a heap of in form onballers comp wide.

Degoey-Stephenson, nice goal averages for small forwards/onballers.

Howe, been outstanding again.

Grundy is NO lock..

Only a lock if they name 2 ruckman. Otherwise it is a coin toss between him and Gawn

I think Grundy has him ATM mate.

 

[Eaglespur]

Please anyone who puts J McGovern in their team stop it, stop it now. Brad Sheppard has been 17 times better than Gov, Hurn 18 times better.

Arguable. One is top three of the coaches award with a dominate display today. His name is nkt Grundy.


Hence why they are very close. Or should both be in

Yep, as the little Mexican girl says...

I honestly don't think people appreciate the gravity of one player having the type of impact that swings games.
It shouldn't be understated that there's thirty-five other players on the field at any one time.
Freo were non-competitive almost to a player, bar Fyfe.
Now granted Fyfe's disposal was meh today, but his output shouldn't necessarily be determined by the inadequacies of his teammates.

* what the Mexican says.

The Australian football commentators say ruckman no 1 Max Gawn.

If Rance gets into the team this year and Grimes and Astbury both miss I'll spew

Agree100%.

Fyfe is so good, he is underapperciated.

If Freo won mord games he would be unarguably no 1 in the league

She says why don't we have both.

Fremantle were like 20 points down at 3 quarter time. Then Fyfe got tired and they lost by 77

De Goey and Stephenson? Really? This is a thread about potential AA players this year not talented kids who are going pretty well.
