How about Ben King - 69 goals and 2nd in the Coleman. Doesn't make the AA team.

Ben should try getting a disposal further than 50m from goal. Averaged 5 kicks per game and 4.4 shots per game lmao. Good player but definition of the beneficiary of work up the field.
 
In all seriousness, there should be an instant dismissal of all selectors for choosing Cameron as captain over the 4 actual captains.

They have made a mockery of the role as captain.

It's a very ordinary selection panel & most have less idea than the average punter.
In all seriousness it’s funny as hell.
 
richards is competing with far more competitive vote pollers for AFLCA votes within his side than daicos is.

the leigh matthews trophy is a bit of a nothing award - most players arent watching neutral games in their spare time

I don't think Bevo was cooking the AFLCA votes for Richards like Fly and his panel were for Nick either lol. It would have been fine if Nick was on the field, it is fine that he is on the bench.

It's an absolute joke that Jeremy Cameron is captain. He's a selfish full forward who couldn't captain a sinking ship.
Bagging goals at Kardinia Park isn't worth a pinch of salt.
Absolute laugh out loud joke.
This home and away award has lost all credibility like the Brownlow has.
Have a look at the selectors-Andrew Dillon (administrator(Chair),) Eddie Betts, Jude Bolton, Nathan Buckley, Kane Cornes( professional bully who bullied this commitee), Abbey Holmes(TV presenter), Glen Jakovich (played 20 years ago and never coached), Laura Kane(administrator) and Matthew Pavlich.
Cornes would have told everyone what to say.
He was laughing at the captaincy.
He also is a leading all time goal kicker at another club.
Serious question though, did he kick more goals than Richmond this year?
I'm sure he probably kicked more goals away from home than your leading goal kickers total tally.

The AA captain seems more of a lifetime achievement recognition than making the best actual captain the captain of the AA team, hence why guys like Dangerfield, Franklin, Hawkins, Rance have been made AA captain in the past

In Geelong’s 4 games at the MCG plus one match down the road at Docklands he kicked as many as Richmond’s leading goalkicker for the season 😂😂

Cornes saying Battle takes the best forward... and says Vlastuin & Battle play different roles, they both play intercept roles.
the only difference is their height.

Vlastuin is better in most statistical areas, so is Worrell

“As a nine-person selection committee, yes.” it's pretty obvious that Battle was Cornes call he is such a bias fanboy.

It's ok, no one takes the AA seriously anymore and not just after last night. It's a home and away award controlled by Kane Cornes.
The concept has become farcical besides that when you look at some of the players that have got in multiple times.

If you don't know who players named in the AA squad are, you clearly don't follow much football.

So you're either pretending to have not heard of him, or you only watch your own team. I'm not sure what's worse.
watched plenty of adelaide games. nick smith at the swans about 15 years ago was a very quite unobtrusive player; so is brodie smith. not a headline player. not everyone lives in the village of 'Radelaide'.

Dangerfield, Franklin and Rance were worthy captains but Hawkins and Cameron weren't .
Both wouldn't be in the top 20 full forwards of all time .

like most full forwards in the 90s. he's a lethal weapon, thats how they play. seems to work for them.
 
Battle was hardly beaten all year. There is more to being a defender than possessions or intercept marks. Just a week ago he kept Logan Morris to 6 touches and 1.1.


I Actuallt think they did a pretty good job this year. Arguing one player over another is fine but they picked for positions for a change. They actually picked a winger in Clug too, although I would have liked to have had Holmes on the other wing but which mid makes way?

Def: Taylor and Andrews the best key backs. Battle the best utility defender/back pocket. Nas, Dale and Clark the best, most damaging flankers.

Fwd: Jezza and Filthy the best key forwards. Gunston the best mid sized forward. Kosi the best small forward and Heeney and Bailey the best forward/mids.

No more squeezing pure mids into forward or defence.

No issue with Jezza being captain, he's been pretty dominant. No doubt it helps the jumper he is wearing though!

The most laughable nod of the week though surely has to be the best young player going to a 28 year old!!!
