2024 Rolling ALL-Australian Team

[eth-dog]

Nick Vlastuin will go down as the greatest defender never to be AA.

Mal Michael was 10 times the defender.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Anybody reckon Baker?

 

[HTPunter]

Anybody reckon Baker?

2 very good games, 2 nothing games

Feel like he’s close but reckon there should be 13-14 smalls who have played 3-4 good games who are ahead

 

[HTPunter]

Great endurance running too, to get up and down the ground like he does. Works his arse off. You don't notice his running like the quick 198cm-200cm guys, but he is a hell of an athlete. Fit as f**k. 32 years old and still blowing up his younger adversaries.

• Runs up and down the ground and racks up the disposals like Dean Cox
• Always get the first hand to the ball for the hitout and provides his mids with an armchair ride... just like Aaron Sandilands.
• Gives his team a 4th midfielder in the centre square clearance battles... just like Nick Naitanui
• Controls games with big pack marks across half back line.... just like Jimmy Stynes
• Goes forward and takes huge marks inside fifty and kicks goals... just like Simon Madden

He's got the lot!

Just always involved in the action like no ruckman I've ever seen.

It’s a long season and one 4-6 week injury at 32 isn’t necessarily improbable.

But whatever the case with AA ruck this year, I hope when Gawn eventually retires his true legacy & dominance is appreciated.

Pretty much the only reason I’d be happy to see the Dees win is I think Gawn with a premiership captaincy would seal it for him as the GOAT ruck

 

[MF]

Caleb Serong has had a bloody good start to the season.

God I hate that name

 

[skinnyP]

Vlastuin has to come in after today's knock.

Mitch Duncan

 

[Jezzitizle]

God I hate that name

O….k……

 

[Lingsface]

Stringer is in at the moment.


Top 10 players this year so far (no order)
Heeney
Gawn
Merrett
Stewart
Serong
Taylor
H McKay
Bont
Rozee
Green

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Vlastuin has to come in after today's knock.

Should already have one or two AA.

I know it’s easy to say now that he’s well past his best but I always thought he was better than Grimes.

 

[Mr Meow]

Vlastuin is playing superb football.

It was a shame to see a number of Richmond supporters writing him off after a rare patch of mediocre form early 2023.

Glad to see they're backing their man again.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I hope Pearce keeps the form up and can get a spot after everything his body has been through. Would be a great Freo story and he’s doing an incredible job at the moment.

Also, I’m petty as **** and Bishop declared years ago (before he got his media gig) that Pearce would never be AA and I would like to claim a win on that one

Next week will be a big test for Pearce if the Blues don't continue their Adelaide Oval curse

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

McKay in cracking form as well, actually probably what I’m looking forward to most - how can our defence hold up against two massive threats. Should be fun

I just want us to win at Adelaide Oval... Just once plz Blues

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Well it would just be rude for an interstate team to let you break the streak in someone else’s state

Gawn is a premiership captain already

I think he means a proper premiership.

Not a COVID Cup.

 

[00Stinger]

I think he means a proper premiership.

Not a COVID Cup.

So Harry McKay isn't a REAL coleman medal winner?

 

[Daka]

Mitch Duncan

I would say he is more of wing type.

Also Isaac Smith was never AA pretty crazy they don't seem to get rated and inside mids always take the spots it's a joke.
