2013 All Australian Team

[Sydswans0512]

Yeah, of course. Just remember that you are disagreeing with the coaches of the AFL...

Everybody's entitled to there opinion and mine is that he's not even close to All Australian like it or lump it

 

[Ed_Gein]

Personally think McVeigh is a lock for a spot at HBF, one of Hannebery/Jack will get in too. JPK a little down compared to last. Malceski been solid enough this year, but probably not enough to make the cut.

 

[Bailey01]

Danger or Douglas in the team?

 

[Dan]

Where's Libba!?!?!?

 

[akiva]

Hibbard had a season just as good as Malcaski, if not better. Just look at the stats

 

[jimbler]

Where's Libba!?!?!?

Standing guard out front of his old mans place in case Clint Jones decides to makes an appearance.

 

[Stopher]

Hibberd the biggest shock for mine, they really don't like breakout players do they.

And Hanley was never going to make it given the amount of time he's spent on a wing or up forward.

Good point about the breakout year. I'm not sure why it is so hard to isolate this year's performances and go from there. It's the 2013 team so look at 2013 performances. Simple. Look at each game in isolation and the accumulation of that gives you a picture. 2011 and 2012 should be completely irrelevant in this argument.

It's almost like saying Shane Ellen's 5 goals in the 1997 GF shouldn't really count because he did nothing to 'prove' it before that. He'll be remembered for one game only and so he should, his goals in the absence of Modra were the difference in Adelaide's first ever flag. Recognise it for what it is FFS.

Thats not an opinion it is incorrect he is in the 40 and he's been a brilliant defender.

Overrated

 

[KillaKanga]

Don't really care Gibson consistently gets beaten in marking contests is only good 3rd man up, he's a glorified Nick Maxwell

That's about as harsh as it gets on BF

Amazed at some of the omissions/inclusions but almost every year the top 4 dominates the squad and to an even greater extent the team.

Given the squad I would expect a side stacked with Top 3 players. Of the 15 only a few will miss I reckon.

B: Gibson (HAW) - Thompson (NM) - Johnson (FRE)
HB: Mitchell (HAW) - Taylor (GEEL) - Enright (GEEL)
C: Swan (COLL) - Selwood (GEEL) - Griffen (WB)
HF: Motlop (GEEL) - Reiwoldt (StK) - Wingard (PA)
F: Mayne (FRE) - Roughead (HAW) - Walters (FRE)
R: Minson (WB) - Pendlebury (COLL) - Ablett (GC)

I: McVeigh (SYD), Cameron (Giants), Hodge (HAW), Fyfe (FRE)

I reckon this team is pretty spot on, just Dangerfield instead of Wingard would improve it....

Why? Wingard is having the superior season.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

I think Hirdy will be a bit stiff if he misses out on the AA coach position.

Wait! That's probably a side effect of the melanotan II!

I'd probably prefer Goldy to get in ahead of Lindsay Thomas but can't see it happening. Goldy a very slim chance and LT 50/50

Don't they always put two ruckman in though?

This year the "2nd" ruckman will be Roughy.

 

[Wizard]

I think you can almost lock two Dockers in, the tend to do that with the top 4 teams.
Fyfe would be a deadset certainty but unsure on the second.

Walters in a pocket would be fair.
MJ off HBF / BP

But i'm starting to think Mayne may be a serious shot as well, the media just love him at the moment and there are some selectors right amongst that lovefest.

With that said, their will only be two.

 

[Quite Ironic]

This year the "2nd" ruckman will be Roughy.

Surely they will line him up at FF as he won the coleman. I see your point, i would want Goldstein in the side so it isnt too midfield heavy, can't just have 4 midfielders on the bench if it is to be realistic

They often go with a #1 ruckman and a forward to can ruck. Unfortunately Roughy can do that so almost a certainty to pick only one. I'd say Minson has a greater chance of being that #1

 

[Digby_from_Dingley]

This year the "2nd" ruckman will be Roughy.

Dangerfield is also an option as second ruck.

Had same number of hitouts as Roughead.

 

[Adam H]

Surely Nick Riewoldt is a lock for a forward role.
