AA

If it was a true AA team, then our defensive results this year warrant a backman selected in the team. The jizz over blokes like Carlisle and Hibbard from the druggies is ridiculous, just overhyped beat up.

Morris, Rance and Houli deserve serious discussion. I cant make an argument for any other player though.

Would love Jackson, but he's playing in too hard of a category. Consider this - averages 22 disposals, 4 tackles, has kicked 14 goals, been played as a defensive and offensive weapon and succeeded at both and probably the only bloke who went head-to-head with Ablett and not only BEAT him, but nullified him (and that was after a spell). Should warrant a bench spot, purely out of diversity in position - and he adds some ginge to the side.

S. Thompson Taylor McVeigh
Malceski McPharlin Mitchell
Griffen J. Selwood Jack
Roughead N. Riewoldt Swan
Thomas Kennedy Wingard
Minson Ablett Pendlebury

Int: Dangerfield, Watson, Fyfe , Hanley

Martin is the only chance for maybe a spot on the bench, but highly unlikely unless he finished with a few massive games.

Rance no chance, was poor early on.

J. Riewoldt should make the squad. Couldn't be ahead of Kennedy though, and probably not ahead of Cameron.

Morris might make the squad, but too many quality defenders for him to make the team. Same as Houli.

So in summary, yep very likely that we won't have anyone in the team.

Not sure about N Riewoldt or Fyfe.
 
I dont know how Martin won't be looked at, he has been one of the most consisted mids this entire year league-wide
 
Realistically we don't have any standouts to make the team, which is a good thing IMO considering we are 12-6. J Riewoldt could still win the Coleman and he's had the most well rounded year I've ever seen from him, it has been very team orientated. Its probably meant he hasn't kicked as many goals as he could have, but our forward line has been far more operational as a result.

The AA FF will go to someone like Kennedy though, who has stood out while his team has been losing.
 
After Cyril Rioli made last years AA I gave up on it. Eddie Betts deserved the FP last year and was far more influential then Rioli. Most deserved players never make it. Nic Nat over Sauce Jacobs last year was an atrocious decision as well. Hawkins over Riewoldt was arguable but I'll accept it even if Jack was Coleman medallist.

FWIW I don't think any Richmond players will get in. Houli deserves too though.
 
Unlikely anyone from us will get in but that speaks volumes given we are set to play finals and are having our best season in years. Champion team always beats a team of champions :thumbsu:

I lost interest when harry O beat Lids to a HB position averaging about 15-16 possessions. So what they were saying is harry O's handful of possessions were worth more than Lids' 25-30.

Lids also missed another AA to the igniter when Davis moved to the HB line from about rnd 5. Davis was good that year but he played about 16 games off HB, again the message was 16 games from Davis >>>>> Lids 22 solid games.

Carlisle will make it, he has massive hype and even though hes been flogged for the past 6 weeks, that doesn't matter, they all recall his match winning moment when he swung fwd a couple of times. Heppell will likely get in too again with the hype.

Its a croc of shit
 
and agree Houli has been in AA form this year, breaks lines with the best of them and his defensive efforts have improved out of sight
 
Rance had a deplorable first 7 or so rounds. His first good game was against the Bombers from memory. That will hurt him.

Cotchin, no, had an off year. Deledio no, too much bad press unfortunately. Martin maybe.

The guy I would have without a shadow of a doubt is Bachar Houli. He deserves it and would be a great story.

Edit: Jack doesn't make it even when he wins the Coleman.

Wasn't that when he was being stalked.
I was pretty critical of Rance, conceding 25 goals in his first 7 games of the year but he has been pretty good of late.

Carlisle is no chance.

Sure was. The day after the hearing he hit form. Was amazing.
