Toast All-Australian Lions in 2023

[pulpdriver]

Charlie our only All-Australian.

 

[martinson]

Predictable if nothing else.

 

[mighty_lions]

is this a joke? 1 player

 

[Tom14]

If nothing else, shows the value of having a state-based selector to advocate. Serong and Dawson had good years, not sure they were better than Lachie as much as Champion Data comes out with whatever stat they like.

 

[rye]

dont know how neale misses personally but oh well

congrats to charlie!

 

[Elixuh]

Had a feeling we would only get Charlie.

wouldn't be making it if it wasn't for his brother. Very overrated. Gulden is a gun though

He made the squad last year no? I personally think he deserved it but I also fully think that his popularity due to his name and playing for Collingwood is the reason they decided to pick actual wingers this year in him and Gulden.

So it feels ****ing shit because it shouldn’t have to take that popularity for the selectors to pull their head out of their ass. All fault lies with the selectors for their shithousery in the past and not on Josh or Collingwood themselves.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Zach Merrett a ridiculous inclusion

 

[Tom14]

Controversial opinion here: I don't super care about AA teams picking wings or not, and I don't think Clug was a lock any of the years he was in the squad (he'd probably have been better than a few). His best year by a mile was 2021 where for half a season he was our best player, but didn't sustain it long enough to make it impossible for him to miss out.

 

[martinson]

Zach Merrett a ridiculous inclusion

100%

The games I saw he was bog average. Lachie was robbed if Merrett gets in.

 

[pulpdriver]

Well, why didn't you tell the rest of us? Why did you keep it a secret!?

 

[rye]

think neale probably missed out in the end due to daicos being selected in the midfield instead of the flank to let houston in the team

port do seem to do very well in the all-australian side each year

Houston was perfectly fine at half back. Picking Tom stewart AND sicily when they play the same position and Stewart wasn't as strong this year as he has been previously was the issue for me.

 

[martinson]

The AA is a bit like the Academy Awards.

It's mainly a popularity contest and then throw in a few consolation prizes for Art direction or whatever for the clubs that weren't much good but you want to keep their supporters onside

captain?? How??

 

[pulpdriver]

You’re the only one I didn’t tell

The blows just keep coming.

 

[martinson]

Stewart I have an issue with . Killed it in a few games and the rest of the time contributed to his club being not up to speed.

Probably his most underwhelming year.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Toby Greene captain?? How??

He's a good captain

 

[pulpdriver]

Toby Greene captain?? How??

That's my favourite thing about this year's AA tbh.

 

[Fitzroy bears]

Bit surprised Wilkey named as All Australian, thought Andrews' season was better and definitely had Neal ahead Seeing. Hopefully Neal, Daniher and Andrews walk away with a premiership medallion in a few weeks time and embarrass the AA selectors.

 

[martinson]

He's a good captain

He's one we could've had.

Love him as Captain.

 

[Nathan Barley]

He's one we could've had.

Love him as Captain.

He wouldn't have lasted

 

[martinson]

Based on the form and games this year would you rather have Larkey or Daniher ?
