2025 Rolling ALL-Australian Team

[HairyO]

I would have been happy with

Gawn, or Dawson tbh

Still not as bad as the year they made Buddy captain when he shouldnt have even been picked at all - but they really wanted him to get his 8th jacket and then make it extra special.

 

[Sixpence]

Battle over Worrell was mystifying. Battle beating up on 4th and 5th string forwards every week.

Jezza is a 4th/5th string forward? Bold call mate, not sure many would agree.

 

[shaqsuns]

Well what a night!

• A 28 year old wins best young player of the year.
• The player voted the best player in the game, couldn't even get in the starting 18

No wonder noone outside Victoria, WA, SA & Tasmania takes this game seriously!

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Yeah its hard with the list given. Dempsy, Gulden, Moore, all not in the 40 worth a look. Maybe sidebottom from the selections?

Considering Curtin is no where near that, and wasn’t in the 40.

Dempsey one of the best wingers.

 

[SC_Power]

I reckon the Cats could fit this team under the cap

Curnow is organising his finances to pick up some “distressed sale” farmland at half price as I write.

 

[Turmoil]

no Luke Jackson?

Who would you take out, grundy, xerri, king or darcy? Or three tall fwds?

 

[Trav 20]

Surely the guy getting his 8th jacket should be the captain?

He got it in 2021. How often has someone got it twice ? I'm not sure.

Plus we're not playing finals.

What an inspirational captain!

Clearly we can see what Cameron thinks the All Australian Selectors where doing...

 

[Stax on the mill]

Neither deserved it.

Only ones who really deserved the captaincy were on the bench.

Bit early in his career for Naicos to be named captain.

 

[YeoShuey]

Bit early in his career for Naicos to be named captain.

Better than those listed on field.

I probably would have chose Serong.

 

[pjcrows]

This year's selection panel has a strong whiff of people who are trying to be overly clever and off-trend, but have just made themselves look like idiots.

No Worrell or Elliot. Daicos and Bont on the bench. Cameron as captain (well played to Jezza, knew it was a genuine pisstake).

 

[Turmoil]

Considering Curtin is no where near that, and wasn’t in the 40.

Dempsey one of the best wingers.

Your right. But hes in the afl website selector thing. Weird. Didnt realise they were separate lists. Too many beers ;D

 

[Golden_6]

Bont had a fantastic season. 3rd in goal assists and 7th in score involvements TOTAL despite missing 6 games.

He finished 7th in the coaches votes and will finish top 10 in the Brownlow. Bailey Smith

played one single game more during the season and no one talks about the amount of games played with that selection.

 

[ReturningHawk]

Worrell very stiff to miss out. Should’ve been in over Battle, who had a fantastic start to the year but then became basically a lockdown defender. Hawks fans have sympathy, will never forget the Sicily snub in 2022. Still a head-scratcher.

But I say congratulations to both anyway on a great year, and they have bigger things to worry about than a popularity contest.

 

[LOLchie Schultz]

Possible B Team? (yep, kinda like this team more(hopefully I didnt grab anyone from the "main" team))
B: Vlastuin, Worrell, Ash
HB: Zorko, Wilkie, Daicos
C: Curtin, Neale, Finn
HF: Rankine, Darcy, Greene
F: Higgins, King, Elliot
FOL: Grundy, Green, Holmes
B: Xerri, Butters, Dunks, Long

This is the squad leftovers

Ash Worrell Vlastuin
Zorko Keane Holmes
Jaicos Butters Callaghan
Grundy Green Dunkley
Rankin Darcy Long
Jackson King Elliot
Liberatore Brayshaw Georgiadies Collins

 

[sdfc]

not sure you align with the Coaches though. Battle got 33 Coaches votes over the season and Keane 11. Not sure about Worrell.

It's be a seriously unbalanced defence if either of those guys were picked over Clark. I'd be surprised if Clark doesn't win our bnf this year.

 

[bzparkes]

Still not as bad as the year they made Buddy captain when he shouldnt have even been picked at all - but they really wanted him to get his 8th jacket and then make it extra special.

And the only actual captain in the AA side was Shannon Hurn, who went on to be the premiership captain that year.

Was a complete joke.

 

[Munich]

Jezza and Hawk as captains.

Brings a tear.

 

[shaqsuns]

after Darren Glass got captain one year I'm chill for life, doesnt get more peak than that

I had a friend who made Darren Glass his Super Coach captain. Granted to say, he did not have a good time.

 

[big footy cyril]

Is it time to just award these medals in the am, announce it in the evening news and let the world argue in the pm online? The spectacle of the night is amateur hour, everyone on the light beers, no character anywhere, barely anyone knows when to ‘laugh’, clapping is awkward at best and Howey is working forcibly hard to his own detriment. Absolute waste of time

 

[HairyO]

Battle over Worrell was mystifying. Battle beating up on 4th and 5th string forwards every week.

The most coach votes out of himself, Worrell and Vlaustin who apparently deserved it more.

I guess coaches think its important to beat up on 4th and 5th string forwards. BTW: he spent at least 40% of game time playing on 4th and 5th string forwards like Curnow, Cameron, Georgiades, Walker, Amiss, etc. and none kicked more than 2 goals on him (only Cameron got 2) and many times he only had 1 or even 0 goals kicked on him.

And more than that, they barely even got a touch.

I guess the fact that they couldnt kick many goals on Battle does in fact make them 4th or 5th string forwards.

He got it in 2021. How often has someone got it twice ? I'm not sure.

Plus we're not playing finals.

True, but without him you'd have been nearly as bad as WCE.

 

[Danger Zone]

Worrell, Vlastuin, Butters, Holmes and Elliott all very unlucky. Battle getting selected is a bit of a shock.

 

[bzparkes]

Wait, 5 actual captains and the jokers in the selection committee make Jeremy Cameron

captain?

Sack the lot of them.

 

[Coasters7]

not sure you align with the Coaches though. Battle got 33 Coaches votes over the season and Keane 11. Not sure about Worrell.

Both are a long way clear in defensive stats as part of the best defense in the league. Battle is a run of the mill medium defender who should be nowhere near an AA team

 

[Sixpence]

This year's selection panel has a strong whiff of people who are trying to be overly clever and off-trend, but have just made themselves look like idiots.

No Worrell or Elliot. Daicos and Bont on the bench. Cameron as captain (well played to Jezza, knew it was a genuine pisstake).

It's no different from any other year, it just affects you more.

Worrell unlucky, but hardly worse than Sicily being left out for Tom Stewart, who missed a third of the season. Battle at least, has had a great year and could win our BnF.
