Staring into the abyss
If I were to pick the team I think I would only sneak dangerfield in. I have a position open in the back pocket Tom Stewart, Blicavs, Harris Andrew, Dylan Grimes shannon hurn. Are all the in the mix. I would probably pick Yeo except I wanted to pick a defender not a utility so I put yeo on the bench.
I think this is Stewart's best opportunity although the selectors generally make you have a couple of reliable good years before they slot you in. I'm thinking Dylan Grimes might get a Guernsey.

Just a rough side hawkins is stiff you could go either way with him and Franklin. It's tough to ignore Franklin averages 425metres gained a match that's incredible. Hawkins 258m gained score involvements hawkins 170 range Franklin 160 more snags for hawk it's very close.
That's why I don't really have ben brown in the conversation even though he kicked more goals. Gunston is a utility bruest and gray pick themselves. If they go for 3 talks hawk is in Martin is probably borderline
The bench I probably missed players it's really tough i think from geelong perspective danger is in but we could have hawkins and Stewart. It's rare for an 8 team to have 3 selections though usually higher places teams get the nods.
Gaff is still but how his year ended I'm not sure you should be handed an all australian Guernsey.

I really hope Caddy isn't selected in the final 22. I don't think I can deal with the fallout from it. We will never hear the end of what a bad trade it was

No - it's from the AFL websites journos
From reading the article it appears that they each did their own AA team and the final squad was based on the players selected in the most teams

I didn't think the 22 had been announced yet? I could be wrong..

He's kicked 44 goals from a forward flank. He's going to be hard to leave out.

I don't have Caddy in.
Consistency hasn't been there for mine, and he spent 8 rounds in the middle of the year barely getting a touch.
Still, he's going in, nothing surer.

Why would you pick Hawkins over Riewoldt? Hawkins averages more goal involvements then riewoldt per game which kind of makes him the better full forward.
There have been flankers who have kicked 50 goals in a season and have missed.
But with richo, Bartlett and Frawley there will be a heap of tigers in the team.

I assume you mean "wouldn't ?
I just really don't understand seeds think he just became a triple Coleman medalist. I really am not going to debate a position I think most people see as locked in. On your thin baiting ridiculous one liners.

I was laughed at when I said he was an elite half forward. Now he's a premiership player and in all australian squads
I think we got parfitt out of it still he was contracted and happy enough.
Still stings a bit I also liked Vardy lol so you never know which way it will go you just hope letting motlop go has been o.k this year

Considering Stratton didn’t make the AA squad I’m going to say that Stewart is going to win that fight
Can’t believe Stratton didn’t make it though.
If he made it I would pick him for sure

Caddy's played his role to perfection this year. Doesn't make me like him any better.
The dismissal of facts is the argument of the idiot.
Goal involvements pèr game is a better measure of who is the better froward then total goals.

Should Caddy and Brown really make it?
No one thinks brown should make it. Has season stats aren’t all that great and that’s even despite the fact he played every game where as most others missed a couple.
Wouldn't have had Brown anyway. Caddy to me is an either/or with Gunston (they might pick both, I'm guessing only one).
Those stats seem to confirm that Riewoldt, Hawkins, and Breust will get picked. Makes a good case for both Martin and Dangerfield too.
