This should be quoted whenever anyone places too much stock in how many AA's a player has received.

Big Congrats to Crippa on the AA nomination! Fingers crossed he makes final squad.

 

[Faz 2000]

Great that he's made the AA squad, and really should make the team at centre, ruck rover, or worst case on the pine.

Herculean effort this year carrying a garbage midfield all season. Positively heroic.

Cripps might not get any "better" but nor does he need to. He's playing at an elite level, certainly taken JPK's mantel has best inside midfielder in the league.

Never previously All Australian. 22 games in 2018. 259 kicks, 92 marks, 393 handballs (Fourth in the AFL in total handballs and fourth in the AFL in total disposals) averaging 11.8 kicks, 4.2 marks, 17.9 handballs. 11 Goals, 15 Behinds. 170 clearances (Second in the AFL in total clearances), 85 Inside 50m, 29 Rebound 50m. 138 tackles (Equal Seventh in the AFL in total tackles).

 

[Faz 2000]

Good overall squad, too, I reckon. Feels about right, can make a smashing 22 out of it.

 

[AndyWalkersGirl]

Well done Crippa

[Quazza]

Watch him not make it

 

[Blue__Balls]

Here's how I reckon it finishes up:

 

[Jabba73]

Rance has been soundly beaten several times this season. Reputation alone gets him in the squad.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Rance has been soundly beaten several times this season. Reputation alone gets him in the squad.

Moreover, Cotchin? wtf.

Coniglio and Cunnington, just to name an unlucky two.

Was confident he'd make the team until reading this.

Bloody Hell

 

[RedFury]

Moreover, Cotchin? wtf.

Coniglio and Cunnington, just to name an unlucky two.

Big-name players always have the bar set lower for making AA than the rest.

Looking at who the selectors are, its really not all that surprising.

 

[Aphrodite]

Was confident he'd make the team until reading this.

Hence why I posted it.

NRS selectors as well.

 

[Aphrodite]

Bloody Hell

Tell me about it.

 

[juzza316]

needs more Richmond players I think? Butler maybe?

 

[Aphrodite]

needs more Richmond players I think? Grigg maybe?

 

[PrinceCharles]

Moreover, Cotchin? wtf.

Coniglio and Cunnington, just to name an unlucky two.

Averaging 21 touches a game and .02 goals. Absolute rubbish.

 

[RedFury]

Hence why I posted it.

NRS selectors as well.

No wonder Carlton players struggle to get anywhere near both.

That's a good mix of Carlton haters and people with NFI in general.

My initial thought when i saw these names was i wonder what the collective noun for a group of tossers is.

A Toss, An Arse

an eruption, a dribble

A bit harsh there AA. It’s got to be the Liberal Party.
