How Hawkins got in is beyond me. There’s a few I’d have before him. Including Ben Brown.

Hawkins applies a boat load of pressure and provides more around the ground. I've seen Tomahawk pass off easy goals to others evidenced by 24 Goal assists to 4. More tackles, more disposals, at a higher efficiency and more marks.
 
The selection I'm most confused about is Shannon Hurn. Missed 3 games and had a poor 2nd half of the year. Rampe should've been selected as IMO, he was the best defender in the comp for 2019. What people don't realise about the McGovern selection is teams change how they enter forward 50 because of McGovern. No other defender commands that respect, that alone gets him in. I personally would've selected Sicily over Houli but not too fussed about that one. Only other change I'd make would be Dusty coming in for one of Macrae, Kelly or Yeo. Dusty's second half of the year was sensational which should've picked him in the team.
 
Don’t understand the angst about the Tom Hawkins selection. Is a far superior player to Ben Brown. Brown is as one dimensional as they come... albeit its a pretty handy dimension.

Tom Hawkins has a hand in many more goals (by way of total assists, involvements etc) then Brown. Tom had a couple of average games, but still as a whole, a much better year then Brown. Jack darling for that matter had a couple of absolute stinkers as well early in the year.

Fair points. I guess I score Hawkins harder. Seems like it wasn’t his best season (last season he was statistically better in most every regard) but he definitely had some wins over BB besides the goals per game and contested grabs. I also wonder what difference it makes playing for the Cats as distinct from playing for North who were atrocious early on the whole.
If I was to take a forward now I would, without a second thought, take BB but it helps that he is 26 while Hawkins is 31.
 
Anyone have stats on Treloar (vs rest of our team and others), in terms of Fors and against getting an AA guernsey this year?
