Analysis All-Australian/Rising Star/MVP Thread

[S120]

The All-Australian side is going to be announced this coming Thursday 24th, along with Rising Star, AFLPA MVP, and Coaches' Association Player of the Year. So with that in mind what are everyone's predictions?

My All-Australian is more of what I'd go with than a prediction, found it easier to do that way but the other three awards are predictions for me.

Rising Star: Caleb Serong
MVP & Coaches' Association Player of the Year: Lachie Neale

All-Australian:
B: Luke Ryan - Steven May - Nick Vlastuin
HB: Caleb Daniel - Jacob Weitering - Nick Haynes
C: Jack Macrae - Lachie Neale - Mitch Duncan
HF: Dan Butler - Charlie Dixon - Patrick Dangerfield
F: Tom Papley - Tom Hawkins - Liam Ryan
R: Nic Naitanui - Christian Petracca - Travis Boak

I/C: Jack Steele - Taylor Adams - Lachie Whitfield - Brad Sheppard

Harris Andrews is unlucky but he's basically missed 4 out of 17 games which is just too much when two other worthy candidates (May and Weitering) haven't missed any. Jake Lloyd was close to pushing his way in but just missed out along with Cam Guthrie, Todd Goldstein, Brayden Maynard, and Andrew Gaff.

Still pissed about Rampe's snub last year, Kennedy's in 17, Grundy's in 16. These awards can get ****ed and aren't worth breathing life into, sorry to be a negative nancy.

They always pick 2 rucks if the 2nd ruck had a good year. Goldstein is a lock for the bench. He's had a career best season and his numbers are almost identical to Nic Nats.
Duncan wasn't even in the conversation for me. How do you have him having a better season then Menegola? He will win their best and fairest and he's currently top 5 for coaches association.
Rest of your team isn't dissimilar to mine. I think Harris Andrews locked himself in pre-injury.

B: Luke Ryan - Harris Andrews - Dylan Grimes
HB: Caleb Daniel - Steven May - Nick Haynes
C: Travis Boak - Jack Steele - Sam Menegola
HF: Christian Petracca - Tom Hawkins - Jack Gunston
F: Tom Papley - Charlie Dixon - Dan Butler
R: Nic Naitanui - Lachie Neale - Patrick Dangerfield (c)

IC: Todd Goldstein - Taylor Adams - Jackson Macrae - Marcus Bontompelli

I also had Sheppard/Martin/Guthrie/Vlastuin in my conversation

Rising Star by a country mile is Caleb Serong. I think he tied that up about a month ago.
Coaches Association Lachie Neale
AFLPA Lachie Neale
Brownlow Lachie Neale.
He really has had an elite season.
