All Australian Team 2016

[Super Hans]

Not sure about the basis for Boyd and Morris, wouldn't have thought they'd be in the squad let alone the team. Think you're trying to sneak a couple of Dogs in unwarranted. Would have Gibson in ahead of Morris, a second ruck on the pine for Boyd.

Boyd could easily go out for a second ruck or an extra mid. No way Morris isn't in it at this stage. I haven't really rated Gibson this year, Frawley's been better I reckon.

Fair few short people in that list and not a lot of contests against decent talls.

Lol at no Shuey and including priddis. Are you sure you are a West Coast fan? Because Shuey has been better than some players in the team and Priddis isn't in the squad right now.

Edit: I see that I missed Shuey completely. After putting him in and out of the 22 forgot to put him in others.

 

[gym4life]

I put Shuey in then took him out. He could easily be in.

And Prid probably an oversight not to be in the list of others.

I agree with most of it would have Martin in the others for Priddis and Shuey in the team for martin. Also Sheppard out for mongtana and Sloane out for Treloar.

I'm going to add both Montagna and Pendlebury as potential Half Back Flank picks as we go into June....am I the only one that has been seeing them both playing a lot of footy there ? Pendlebury's slow start with niggles is still counting against him and I;m not suggesting he's AA yet...Montagna a HBF chance though.

Riewoldt yet another good game...however he's no lock despite the fact he might be every coaches number 1 bench choice to make an impact and save another rotation...hell of an advantage. All Aust doesn't work that way however...so he's definitely no lock whilst he's playing midfield. They pick the bench more on a "next best" basis rather than any perceived team benefit. HFF/Bench likely where he could be picked. The perfect benchy if you think he's earnt it.

Montagna has played pretty much exclusively off HB for us this year and is averaging 29 disposals per game. He's ranked no.1 in the comp for uncontested disposals, no.2 for kicks, 4th for effective disposals, 7th for marks and 8th for total disposals, so it's fair to say he's going pretty well there.

Pendlebury spent a fair bit of time playing off HB earlier in the year when he was protecting broken ribs, but has since returned to the midfield and I imagine he'll stay there, as he said it didn't really work him playing off HB.

Riewoldt would be pretty hard to beat for a spot on the wing given that he's spent most of the year playing there and is averaging 21 disposals (at 76%), 11 marks (two contested) and two goals per game. If there are two who are having more impact on the wings he could easily enough be picked as "next best" on the bench though.

 

[Suma Magic]

Don't disagree with that - the last few spots were pretty tough to pick.

 

[Coaster2012]

Lol at the Kennedy doesn't kick bags against top 8 sides argument, NO ONE kicks bags against the top sides, hence why they are the top sides. 37 goals, 3 behind buddy, and will just keep scoring, a lock already in my opinion. As for the ruck spot, I'm not as sold on NN for the spot as others.

 

[lethalsaints]

Oh, this is the West Coast board.

 

[Quinz]

Shuey now up to 6th spot in the precious and undeniable coaches votes.

If there are two who are having more impact on the wings he could easily enough be picked as "next best" on the bench though.

21 disposals is not very high for a midfielder, and 2 goals not near the top for forwards. Will he suffer from being perceived as a key forward and be behind the others (Kennedy, Franklin, Lynch), or not get picked on the wing because there are other high possession players who play there for a full game and don't drift forward? I think Tippett might have the same problem- not in the top 3 ruckmen, not in the top 5 key forwards, but overall having a great season.

Shuey, Neale, JJK unlucky. I think Dusty will be in there eventually wit the way he's playing but started slowly so not there yet.

 

[juss]

The West Coast fans are by far the most whingy when it comes to this team, and its like that every year.

Closely followed by the North fans... hence the conversation being dominated by who should be the #1 ruck.

I think it would probably come down to who you would pick to play for you on a wing in a game of footy tomorrow and I reckon Nick's going so well in his role that most would be very happy to have him in their team on a wing, due to the influence he has on games of footy week after week.

Viney is done after breaking his fist on someone's face. Out for three to four.

i'd have cripps in front of him anyway !!

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Wild Bill is Shuey in your AA team now? He's 6th in coaches voting and overtaken Ziebell so based on your decision making im assuming you've moved Ziebell out and Shuey in?

 

[gandaal]

Cripps has his own injury troubles holding him back.

Why is everyone picking rance over Frawley?

To date Frawley has been way better, whilst rance has also played 2 less games

One less.

Rance gets more of the ball and is as good if not better than Frawley 1on1... I'd be picking Rance ahead of Frawley at this point
