I hope both Tom Lynchs make it for shits and giggles

Betts, Laird, Sloane and Talia should make the cut. Wouldn't be shocked if they unfairly omitted one of them though.

 

[GetInMyVanBerlo]

Only problem I can see so far with the whole squad is no Zac Merrett, what a joke!

No Patrick Cripps either. Not sure Greene or Scully should be over those two.

 

[creme_fraiche]

That is a scarily bad selection panel. Tredrea is pretty much the only one with an ounce of intelligence on there.

 

[SmegHead]

Sloane, Betts and Laird should already be inked in, no question. Just down to how many on the panel rate Talia defensive work ahead of creaming over Rance. Lynch and Jenkins well done to get picked in the squad but wont make the final team.

Wouldn't totally be surprised to see either Rampe or Tarrant get in ahead of Talia.

Judging by that panel here's what we'll get:

B Docherty - Rance - Boyd
HB Enright - Tarrant - Rampe
C Pendlebury - Treloar - Mitchell
HF Martin - Franklin - Gunston
F Rioli - J. Kennedy - Betts
R Gawn - Dangerfield - Selwood
I Bontempelli - [Token Interstate Mids]

Franklin and Kennedy both forced inclusions due to the Coleman. Betts a very reluctant inclusion. Rampe barely made it in over another midfielder.

The "one good year isn't enough" ruling.

See: Laird, Rory 2015.

 

[FantasticShirt]

But I thought we've got a s**t list?

Betts Sloane and Laird the only ones with a real shot I think, and all should be locked in.

 

[MarcusP2]

Feel like Nick Riewoldt could've been there over our Lynch but a pretty good squad.

 

[Scorpus]

Here's my side:

B Laird - Talia - Rampe
HB Docherty - Rance - Enright
C Shuey - Treloar - Bontempelli
HF Martin - Franklin - Rioli
F Betts - J.J. Kennedy - T.J. Lynch
R Gawn - Dangerfield - Sloane

I Ward - Parker - Neale - Hannebery

Where's Dayne Zorko??

I hate having a panel making the final call. Would let them choose the top 40 then have it done by a vote of players, coaches, officials and media

 

[SydCrow]

Or again our top 8-10 is REALLY good, but our current 16-24 isn't cutting the mustard.

Our young talent is excellent. We have a well known hole in the middle of our list.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Sloane and Betts should be locks, Laird as well, though games missed might count against. Can't see anyone else making it.

 

[SydCrow]

The fact that they need non-Victorian selectors says a lot.

 

[Danoz]

My team:
Betts-Kennedy-Rioli
Lynch (GC)-Franklin-Martin
Sloane-Kennedy-Neale
Gawn-Dangerfield-Hannebery
Laird-Rance-Shaw
Tarrant-McGovern-Rampe
Parker-Ward-Coniglio-Pendlebury

Talia out on raw numbers less than the other three.
