All Australian Team 2016

[Wild Bill]

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?

Why can't we have both?

 

[gym4life]

Wild Bill Shuey is now 6th in the coaches votes, thoughts?

 

[Coaster2012]

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

Because everyone else constantly winges about Nic Nat's spot, what you expect us to do?

Good team - just a question mark on Laird. He has now missed 4 games.

Surprised Neale isn't getting much a mention.

 

[BM123]

Surprised Neale isn't getting much a mention.

Neale is playing in a team that is playing worse then Essendon with their guts ripped out.

Uphill battle for Neale.

 

[Tasfut]

Harsh Josh J. Kennedy isn't in most sides! Not only has he kicked 37 goals from 10 games he has also averaged 15.7 disposals, 7.6 marks and 9.2 score involvements which are all top notch numbers for a key forward.

Individual award so team form shouldn't matter but naturally it does I guess.

He's well in the mix. It's just that he's had a few quiet games and a few huge games, so averages aren't the best guide. I have Waite holding on by a thread this week, JK could well be in there next Monday.

 

[Tasfut]

I'll have a go and look back on it later in the season.

[Demonated]

Viney is out of the team and won't get back in now.

Ziebell is out. Less than 23 disposals and less than a goal a game doesn't scream AA. He is in good form but not as prolific as other mids.

Talia is in if he wasn't before, keeps getting impressive scalps. Very consistent. 1st key back picked. Rance and Frawley close as are a few others.

Some of Parker's teammates have overtaken him or are in the process of doing so.

Docherty is in, so is Gibbs.

Dusty has got to be closing in, has actually been quite consistent which has been lost in his teams earlier form.

I keep changing the ruck on an almost weekly basis. I think Gawn with his inexperience compared to the other 2 is the most likely to drop off. Expect Goldy to get it again at the end of the year.

One of Grundy and Rampe probably deserve a spot, don't know which one or if both should.

That's what I've seen change over the past 2/3 weeks.

Because everyone else constantly winges about Nic Nat's spot, what you expect us to do?

If its not Nic Nat or Shuey or McGovern. Maybe just maybe, Eagles fans arent right all the time?

 

[Tippett2Goal]

I personally think best small defender has been Nick Smith, but its pushing it to put Rampe, Grundy and Smith in the side...

Not really - Smith the last 2 weeks has been amazing. As the best side you should have a decent amount of players.
Simpson was the other small defender that would be a chance - which would give the 11th place blues a third of the back line.

 

[BEEG]

Treloar and Pendles have been dominant in most game for Collingwood this year, both would have to be close.

Treloar and Pendles have been dominant in most game for Collingwood this year, both would have to be close.

Pendles had a very slow start playing injured off hbf, has been good since recovering from his rib issue, has some catching up for a midfield spot.
Treloar is in the mix for sure

I wouldn't have MacKenzie, Gibson or Rioli near the AA team yet. Especially MacKenzie, he has struggled this year hasn't he?

Yes Mackenzie is improving slowly but like all players who do a knee and miss 12 months it takes the best part of the season to get back to their best.

 

[Forward Press]

Yep. Getting better as he builds up match fitness but nowhere near AA. Substitute him for someone like Morris.

Not sure how you have a HFFérs with only 7 goals each.

 

[Suma Magic]

Not sure how you have a HFFérs with only 7 goals each.

2 stay at home small forwards is pretty standard.

How does your team look?

 

[pacman]

Of course you do, Docherty & Shaw are clearly the best small defenders in the game.
Stop their opponents and provide attack.
