All Australian thread 2014

[Bazzar]

Tex still managed 2 goals still recovering from the ACL injury.

So he wasnt fit?

 

[FallingLiefs]

Hold on.Abletts missed more games than Rance..lol

i wasn't aware Rance was the consensus number one player in the AFL and favourite to win the brownlow. (although that was before i read this thread) problem is Rance isn't a standout and it's a hotly contested area on the ground. Talia, Mackenzie and Hooker playing the full season are in before Rance.

Ballas a chance? 49 goals after missing 4 games.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Talia probably won't even make the 22 to be honest. Being in Adelaide and all. Hooker and McKenzie have supposedly been better by a country mile than Tals this season.

He's not 100% yet but was well enough to play but Rance did keep Tex to his season average. Haha

Depends on how they decide on the player positioning. If they go in with 2 smalls then Ballantyne is a good shot. But I think they'll go in with 3 talls + 1 small (Breust) and two half forwards/mids.

 

[Bailey01]

Eddie Betts season has been very underrated this year. Kicked 51 goals and also 2nd in goal assists to Robbie Gray which is no mean feat.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Betts would only make it as a full forward because that's what he played this year.

Was great today against the Saints

I think it's arguable that he has had a similar year, if not better than Hooker or Mackenzie.
Hasn't got the hype. Whether that's worth something or not.
I have him at third but I don't see much between them.

 

[Bailey01]

Yep could've kicked 5 goals if he kicked straight. Gonna be so exciting to see a fully fit Tex with a full pre season under his belt!

 

[GeelongFTW]

Taylor should be in weeks performance-avoided the ball like a boss.

UNCHANGED

OMG where's Rance?!?!

But seriously I would put Boak or Ward ahead of Priddis for actual impact not cos of the stats.

Betts might make the 40 but if have him behind Bruest and Ballas for the season.

Yep probably right. Just wanna make a point that Betts has been worth every cent and he is not overpaid like everyone thinks he is.

 

[Righteo]

Ballas a chance? 49 goals after missing 4 games.

Doesn't have the hype of a Breust/Wingard plus he's a "villain" type, no chance this year imo.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Great recruit, Would only have buddy ahead of him. 51 goals is a great return and proves that he is worth every cent.

 

[_DBF_]

No chance of making the squad.

You're a ******. 100% in the squad. A fair chance of making the team also. Yes he has missed games but outside of Talia hooker Mckenzie who have been mentioned Rance is next cab off the rank.

[port_adelaide_1870]

If you take Gray off of the HFF and move him to a midfield role/wing, it would allow a ballantyne or betts to be able to fit in

 

[_DBF_]

Taylor.

Harry Taylor is a fantastic player also - they're the 5.

 

[Kakkle]

Has come along way.

Who is the spud chasing Buddy?
