[AlecDuncan]

Hard to argue with that list. Waite wasn't consistent enough to push out any defenders. But if goes up another notch he'll be a monty.

 

[Gouldy]

i reckon judd has some stiff competition there, fevola is a shoe-in

Richo is a mid/ruckman?

Richo is a mid/ruckman?

Not sure how much footy you've seen from o/s but he has been playing a roaming role all year, very much as a winger. Definitely deserves a spot on the wing.

However its strange that he has been labelled as a mid and Boomer Harvey as a forward.

 

[OZBomb]

Nothing too outrageous on the list although I'm very surprised Travis Cloke isn't up for CHF. Has had a more consistent year than Robert Murphy.

Have only seen one Richmond game all year and that was our win over them.

 

[Faz 2000]

Naah, Cloke mostly just beat up already-beaten teams, to be honest. He was disappointing this year (I followed him closely). Went missing too often. Still has potential out the wahzoo, though.

On the overall list - I just hope they don't make it an absolutely Geelong-fest like last year. I thought that was lame. The All Australian team is about picking the best individual players in each slot, not just the best team's person in each position. There were some Cats in there last year that shouldn't have been anywhere near it, and there are some on that list I will be furious if they make it.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

No David Hille is pretty ridiculous.

Missed the last two games but was a lionheart for Essendon in the ruck all year - far more of a matchwinner than Sandilands.

Agree that Judd will struggle to get in considering his opposition in the midfield section - maybe a spot on the bench.

 

[Faz 2000]

There's a detailed debate regarding Cox, Sandilands and Hille vying for AA ruck spots on the Polls board. Worth a read, if you're interested. I can't BELIEVE Cam Cloke has been totally ignored though.

 

[jj1978]

Nah... leading Hard Ball gets in the competition I think Judd'll do it.

Speaking of Waite just saw him on the corner of Chapel St and Toorak Rd (across road from where fun factory was)... he looked well considering Mad Monday would still be in the system.

Agree. He has had a better year than Dean Cox IMO.

 

[Poz_Utd_V.2]

Agree. He has had a better year than Dean Cox IMO.

No friggen way, Hille played what 7 good games in the middle of the year?

Cox has been dominating in the ruck and around the ground all season and will be starting ruck for sure.

 

[HBF]

Judd and Fevola had to get into the original squad. Waite probably a little unlucky to miss out.
