Prediction 2025 All Australian team and squad

[SizeMatters]

Did anyone else notice how Mark Howard spent twice as long interviewing his two players as Riewoldt did interviewing his four?

Weird

Howie is shit. Tried to be funny and missed the mark. Fixated on Thilthorpes 110kg weight. Was weird.

I still would have given this year's gong to Harris Andrews. A premiership captain and a brilliant leader who has now made three teams of the year.

Cameron as captain was a total piss-take.

Obvious that leadership per se has nothing whatsoever to do with being named AA captain.

Harris, Max Gawn and even Saint Nick are better qualified

 

[braddsey]

Anyone else note the irony of a forward ruck being picked in the side, given Joe was completely ignored last year. Can’t be bothered comparing their stats for respective years. I really rate Thilthorpe and would have him the side. Joe probably wouldn’t care one way of another, but shows AA is abit of a raffle.

Joe showed the absolute value of a quality forward/ruck, so this year they included one instead of 2 rucks (Gawn/Grundy).

 

[beatnik]

I just can't trust experts in almost every field anymore. Even the guys who do nothing but watch football still make a useless pick or 2.

Lol, there’s a big difference between experts in their field in the real world (doctors, engineers, scientists, academics) and the agenda-driven, narcissist shock jocks (Cornes, King) we suffer through during footy season

Thilthorpe’s beard is clearly hiding a ‘grotesquely swollen jaw’…bro went away for some ‘knee rehab’ and came back with 20 kegs of extra lean muscle while also suddenly becoming one of the best endurance athletes in the game…amazing gains!

From an AFL site article

Sloane believes the time spent on the sidelines last season gave Thilthorpe the opportunity to "bulletproof his body" as a 22-year-old, giving him size and strength that would have taken years more to develop during a weekly cycle of playing and training.

I'm not so sure.. scientists will have you believe whatever the person funding them wants you to believe.

Not sure that's all scientists. Some of us are OK.

a chance to equal and maybe overtake Vossy.

Howie is shit. Tried to be funny and missed the mark. Fixated on Thilthorpes 110kg weight. Was weird.

Howie was good. Better than listening to Wheatley or browny drone on and not elicit anything interesting out of the players. Howie at least got a few things out of them.

Joe showed the absolute value of a quality forward/ruck, so this year they included one instead of 2 rucks (Gawn/Grundy).

So happy to see Gawn there...in my eyes the best ruck for ages...a true legend.
