Anyone else reckon Redden would have made AA 40 man squad if he didn't legit have the shittest first 5 weeks to his season?

After round 5 Redden averaged:
26.7poss, 5.5tckls, 5.47cl and 11.82 cp's.

IMO he has the scope to find the pill like a Gaff/Macrea and if Gaff leaves he could tbh.

Cal Twomey comes across hell arrogant/aggressive. It's odd considering he never started off like that but i suspect he's pushing his weight around on a less experienced colleague.
 
He says that he thinks that Dangerfield has runs on the board and should be captain. What runs exactly?
“Yeah good luck to him...” what an absolutely dismissive line about Hurn from this pre-pubescent looking flog.

Never rated Twomey and now his stocks have gone down further in my estimations.
 
I think Gaff and Hurn were always locks (unless they did something stupid overreacting to what Gaff did).

I though Yeo should have made it. Sensational season.

Gov is super lucky (I don't even think he's been in our top 10 players this year). Not sure how he made it. Probably a side product of the selection committee not watching Eagles games and just going with him due to his name. Not a super-strong year for CHBs probably helped.

All these bias flogs are getting a bit too much to take. It's just getting worse and worse. I often wish we could go back to the days of a strong WAFL with no AFL. Obviously it could never happen, but as a kid, i enjoyed the days of 15 to 20,000 at a suburban oval with none of this vic centric crap.

Breaking the all time record for intercept marks probably has something to do with it

No he meant Dangerfield had the runs and yes it smelt devine

The arrogance - soo West Coast can’t help but like him...

Takes a champion and reduces him to nothing

A lot to galvanise the team this year

Will be interesting where he lands up in the boards POTY voting

I actually thought he was a lock tbh. Its as if its a prerequisite for modern day mids to average 30 touches a game. Rory Sloane few years ago made it and was being talked up all year. Thought Yeo has been more dangerous and clutch than Sloane was back then. Plus Yeo played a variety of other roles this year as well.

Not sure that Yeo should have made it.
Take off your Eagles glasses and take note that there are times he goes missing.
Yes he's had a great year and good enough to make the squad but not good enough to push one of the other midfielders out.

Don't shout me down lol. Just my opinion.
I can see how he wasn't selected, but it wasn't because he goes missing.

Yeo is always doing the hard stuff; tackling, chasing, pressuring and dropping back or leading up the wing to compete in the air. His defensive and offensive efforts have given us momentum and turned games, especially important since losing Nic and Gaff.

However, on raw output Yeo falls behind some of the more prolific ball-winners that made the AA-22, somewhat due to this utility role. Hopefully a few extra disposals would earn selection as a mid.
