What are your predictions for Lions AA squad and team members>

AA Squad:
McCluggage
Zorko
Andrews
Bailey (last few weeks playing on ball may just get him a nod)
Dunkley (best defensive mid in the game, but unfortunately won't get rewarded)

AA Team:
McCluggage
Andrews
Zorko
 
Clug should be a lock.

I don't think Andrews and Zorko have had their best seasons but also don't think anyone else has had a clear better year in their roles

Bailey would be deserving for the squad but there are a few that have had at least as good a season

Dunks could get squad

I think Wilmot would be our next best option but will need the traditional 2-3 high syandard seasons to really get noticed
 
Think Andrews last month has elevated him above the pack and having not been AA for so long he deserves it as career achievement as well.

Zorko will maybe go the other way; he's been as good as last year but maybe last year will be seen as his reward and they'll find someone else to reward this year? Maybe NWM will get the nod as the attacking half back.

The whole football media would be embarassed if McCluggage doesn't get inthis year given everytime he is mentioned they all say "surely this is the year he'll be AA".

If Bailey had kicked 40:21 instead of 33:28 he'd probably be a lock for the AA team this year but that might hurt him enough to even miss the squad. But good for him to get elevated into the conversation for potential future consideration.

Bailey averaging more goals per game than Rankine who is being talked as an AA option. Similar disposal count, Rankine averaging 3 more clearances though.

I’d be pretty surprised if rankine got AA lol

Dunkley could be a rough chance for sub if they have one.
 
If the AA selectors look at stats (a lot), don't be surprised if Harris misses the team.
The selectors pick the team based on vibes and then cherry pick stats to support the team they put out.

Uh-uh. Remember, the team pick themselves.

To be fair I suspect they do - Danger has a chat to mate who shall remain nameless, "it'd be cool if I made the AA team this year..."
 
Serong for me has had an ordinary year. Dunkley if they truly valued his role should get a bench spot.
Bailey should get squad, surely.
 
What am I missing with this obsession with St Kilda's Cal Wlikie


Relatedly, I knew if Hugh ever made the AA team they'd stick him on a wing years after he stopped playing there. :D
 
i think id throw up if wilkie made the team over andrews again

Agreed - and to be honest, Bailey Dale. He fills his boots agains the lower ranked sides, but arguably isn't as impactful as Zorko or Ash against the top 8 teams. He misses for mine.

If Ash or Wilkie make the team I'LL SPEW UP.
