7 Saints in All-Australian squad

[TassieSaint]

Riewoldt, Milne, Hayes, Dal Santo, Montagna, Gilbert, Goddard

Only one who was unlucky to miss was Fisher, had a down year but still been good and shits on Mackie, Fletcher, Maxwell and the like.

Of the squad members I expect all except Milne to make it (who is lucky to be in the squad in the fist place)

well done to all of them

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah pretty much all the names I expected to be there.

Great to see Gilbert rewarded for a great year and hopefully he makes the final cut. The rest should all be certainties to make the 22, barring Milne. I think Milne is deserving of selection in the squad but will find it hard to beat out the likes of LeCras, Chapman, Johnson, Porplyzia & Davis for the small forwards spot.

Fisher is a bit unlucky to miss out but I guess he hasn't had as good a year as last year, although I would still pick him ahead of some of the other defenders named.

Don't know how Milne made it in?

Lenny Hayes has had an awesome 09. I think his tackling and stuff have been pretty high up there in the stats.

Onya Milney!! Pity some other less hated player will make it (davis/sj) even tho milney had a gun season. Oh well

Best forward pocket in the comp.

Howd he get nominated this year but not last?

Gawd....

Spot on Milney, spot on.

Averages over 2 goals a game for a FP. Yet blokes who are more flash get the gig
Id love him to make AA, gee it would fire the Bay up lol

I actually wouldn't mind it if Milney got in. Doesn't deserve it this year but after being on the recieving end of some ridiculous top team bias (Fisher and Riewoldt 07, Hudghton 08) it'd be good to see Milney get in on the back of our dominant season

 

[The Punter]

I'm really happy for Milney.

I think it'll be Riewoldt (c), Montagna, Hayes & Gilbert.

Goddard is in for SURE mate.

 

[TassieSaint]

and Dal Santo, been dominating

 

[TheStinger]

Did Gardi miss too many games to get nominated?

And how many times this season has Cougar been beaten?

But congrats to the guys who were nominated, hope they all get in.

I think the two certainties are Riewoldt and Goddard.

As a Saints fan I think that Hayes should go in ahead of Montagna and Dal, but I wouldnt be surprised to see the AA selectors go for Dal because of his higher profile and possession count. I'd pick Len in front of him every single day.

I reckon Jason Blake would have been talked about a lot, and considering some of the names in contention at CHB, it can only be his lack of profile that hasnt got him into the last 40.

Hasnt been beaten this year.
