Says the man who has posted on nine separate occassions himself about Robbie Gray in the past week alone ...

It's the AA thread mate and the current discussion is about the KPD inclusions and since there are really only 4-5 candidates, it's perfectly understandable that Rance is being frequently mentioned.
Show me where I have posted 9 times about gray in the last week in this thread. If you are gunna make up statements, please try to make them a little accurate.

On topic, Rance will make the 40, will not make the 22.

Amazingly, for the Crows I can see Jacobs, Dangerfield, Sloane, Betts, B Smith and Talia all with very strong cases to make the AA squad of 40.
Seriously, how can you have 6 players at that level, and still miss the eight?

Thats not including Tex and Jenkins who are both great players.

There 10th best to 22nd best in there side probably werent good and consistent enough, similar to Collingwood.

Was looking at their 2014 form. Tex would be in that group when a full season beckons. Jenkins... Meh.

West Coast fans are still so mad - I love it!

FWIW, Lloyd has him in his 'rolling AA' team, and the 'on the couch boys' have talked up his chances too. Clearly it's not just deluded Tiger fans that have rated Rance's season.
Not mad, just don't think he'll make it. Hasn't been near the level of the other three.

I don't think it's got anything to do with West Coast fans being mad. The reality is that spots are fierce in those positions this year, and therefore 17 games probably isn't enough to get you over the line. Sure, there will be some talk about him maybe getting in through the media, particularly given the Tigers 9 game streak is on the mind. It's not impossible that he would get in. However, it would be somewhat controversial. It also doesn't help his cause that guys like Hooker and Emac were unlucky to miss out on their first AA last year, so they probably won't be overlooked 2 years running.

Never said in this thread mate but a quick check of your posting history suggested that you're not exactly immune to 'flogging a dead horse'.

Can you explain why?

I just can't see anymore than a talented shut-down player spoiler. He's cleaned up quite a few elite forwards but the team is ranked 12th in points against and he provides little rebound play.

I'd have Cale Hooker, Scott Thompson, Eric McKenzie, Harry Taylor and maybe Michael Johnson in the AA team before him.

That does not leave room for Talia. Good defender, not AA.
If Thompson makes the 40 it will be on reputation alone. Has had some very good games but some stinkers too, and has suffered with injuries disrupting our defence this year.

Surprised how many teams don't have Harvey in there - he is just about a lock, even with the suspension.

Don't act like you know me when you clearly don't flog. The only thread I have been talking about Gray is the brownlow thread saying he got performed well this weekend and discussing with other posters who would get the 3 votes gray or neale. Your comparing that to the Rance overload that is on this thread.

Anyways this thread is about the AA, not about me posting about gray in other threads. Want to troll or discuss posters go to bay 13 :)

Bomber assistant Simon Goodwin also said today on the CH7 footy show that he would be surprised if he wasnt AA

Happen to miss Schultz kicking 6 against a pretty good side today? Has Hawkins ever even had 6 kicks in a game against Freo?
I turned it off when the game was done and turned on the Tigs game. He had 2 or 3 by that point and had been pretty good.

I'm not surprised he kicked a few in junk time, he's been doing it all year.

Better then Mackenzie and a certain to make the squad, if not for injury he would be a certain to make the team.
Everybody is entitled to an opinion but yours is wrong and looks like that of somebody who rarely watches Richmond play.
I call your opinion wrong! This whole bigfooty debate stuff is easy!
