2025 Rolling ALL-Australian Team

[RCAB]

Some strange decisions.. ....as always.

Naughton v Georgiades (both played 23 games):

Player Rating: 10.22 v 7.04
Coaches votes: 40 v 27
Disposals: 11.8 x 12.1
DE%: 63.1% v 59.4
CP: 5.7 v 4.6
Marks: 5.4 v 5.5
CM: 1.5 v 1.5
Tackles: 2.0 v 1.2
Goals: 60 v 58
Goal Assists: 19 v 7
SI's: 6.9 v 6.3
Pressure Acts: 9.8 v 6.7

So 79 x direct goal contributions v 65. More coaches votes, more tackles, more SI's.

I'd love to hear the justification for this one.

Pressure acts useless stat to show anything.

SI%: Score involvements / Total team scores:

Naughton 25%
Georgiades 30%

If you combined both the Dogs and Port teams this year, Georgiades would only be ranked behind Bont for SI%

 

[LukeParkerno1]

He was one of the better performers against top line sides amongst key position forwards.

However he feasted on the nORTH, wce, richmonds. Neither Darcy/Naughton have had AA years and when it counted sunday both were terrible.

 

[Skipper_]

Wilkie missing to Keane and Battle is baffling.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Libba is the one that should've been squeezed if you need a bulldog but Georgiades has less goals/goal assists/score involvements/ contested marks then Naughton yet the failed fireman mangaed to get him in

Georgiades deserved to be in the 40.

Cornes. That’s all you need to know

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Naughton and West both more deserving than Libba tbh

wouldn't have been against West but these AA selectors barely pick these, when was the last small defender picked?

 

[Chaisa]

One thing I will say re: Naughton was that he really struggled in the first half of the year, think people are forgetting that given how dominant the back half of his year has been.

But yes, him > Darcy given that Darcy missed a heap of footy through injury. Agree that it seems a very Cornes decision to think otherwise.

 

[ShereKhan]

I think everyone is assuming Worrell is a lock, and he's had a great year. And I assume Georgiadies over Naughton is because Naughton was in a better forward line with more help?

Vlastuin v Worrell.

Player Rating: 10.37 v 8.05
Coaches Votes: 29 v 22
Disposals: 19.1 v 20.3
DE%: 80.5 v 77.0
Metres: 375 v 397
CP: 6.0 v 6.3
Marks: 6.1 v 5.6
CM: 1.0 v 0.5
Tackles: 2.1 v 1.3
Intercepts: 7.5 v 7.9
Intercept Marks: 2.6 v 1.9
Pressure Acts: 9.5 v 6.5

Vlastiun will likely miss out again, but as shown here, he compares very favourably to the year Worrell has had.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Cornes. That’s all you need to know

He hardly has been that bad here- you blokes got 6! How many do you want?

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Grundy didn’t miss 3 games due to suspension. Also Grundy had a dominant half to a season and an underrated first half. Xerri’s dominant patch was like six weeks and I feel like he tailed off quite significantly after that.

Might be a bit stiff to be behind Jackson though.

Tailed off when?

 

[Foxman98]

However he feasted on the nORTH, wce, richmonds. Neither Darcy/Naughton have had AA years and when it counted sunday both were terrible.

He kicked 4 of his goals vs West Coast/Richmond

Fair few people in the rolling All Australian thread had Naughton in the squad. Opinions are like assholes, I suppose.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's Harris Andrews anyway, but if it's a 50/50 between those two I'd go Vlaustin think we have to account for the fact that Richmond were meant to not win a game and he's a good reason they didn't

I’d probably try to include both

 

[Struggle]

Naughtons first 2 months were terrible. They were never picking him after that start. He would have had a better chance of making the team if he missed through injury

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

He hardly has been that bad here- you blokes got 6! How many do you want?

We’re talking specifically about his hatred of Naughton, and selecting Georgiades ahead of him.

Also might want to recount lol

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Borderline at absolute best. His first half a year your own supporters wanted him dropped nearly. You already got Libba (of all years they pick him, been way better in previous years), Darcy (ineffective off at least 10 games with 6 due to injury). Dale is a certain squad at least selection, Bont makes the side and so should Ed Richards. Latter two certainties, Dale a 50/50 with Ash, Zorko and co who knows which HBF they go with

 

[Foxman98]

Sorry guys Jeremey Cameron no longer eligible only kicked 19 goals vs top 8 teams this year

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Only Dale, Bont and Richards have really had AA years. I would have picked West in the 40 personally

FYI....

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

Might be a bit stiff to be behind Jackson though.

During Xerri’s “6 week dominant patch” he was the highest rated player on the ground 9 times.

 

[Elixuh]

Xerri not there is fitting. He is a meme ruck whose reputation is based on fantasy points and a helmet.

 

[Mr Meow]

21 of the 44 squad members play significant midfield minutes. I reckon one day it will get close to 30.

Dunkley a bit of a surprise (in a good way), he's usually more unheralded. I'm not sure Libba and Brayshaw were must haves in the end.

Only 2 stay at home small/general forwards by comparison: Elliot and Long.

7 or 8 defenders who can actually defend might be an upgrade on recent seasons. In a weak year for KPDs I don't think you really needed 5 to make the squad of 44 though.

A quarter of the squad positions go to the teams finishing 7th and 9th. The coaches in charge of those teams are underdelivering.

Josh Battle is the worst defender on that list.

 

[Foxman98]

Goals vs top 8

Naughton 22 Jeremy Cameron 19

Goals vs Bottom 4
Naughton 20 Cameron 34

Should we remove Jezza now only beating up on shit teams?
