Dangerfield ahead of Rance is a massive call. Prepare to cop it from the Tiger fans.

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.

Going on the consensus that Rance shouldn't be selected in part due to him missing 5 games through injury,If thats the case Ablett's no chance either.

I don't think Rance should be selected because he hasn't been in the top 3 key defenders this year (IMO)

Ablett was a clear, clear leader as best player in the league when he got injured. And to be honest I don't think he should make it either. It's unlucky, but that's the game.

Yeah, if we start giving All Australian nods for guys who play dominant half seasons, Jonathan Brown should get 5 extra backdated selections.

What a joke. As if Dangerfield makes it ahead of Rance.

Well the irony of it all is,We make the finals 2yrs in a row and both times we with all probability have no one being selected in the AA team.Odd.

To be fair, its more like 75% of a dominant season, but I agree with your general point. Rance probably needed a few more games to make the final 22.

Let's see if your club is capable of a finals win

Let's see if your club is capable of a finals win

My club.Hmmmmmmmmmmm 11 flags says the club is quite capable.

 

[MinerBoy]

As far as KPF go I think I'd have:-

HF: xx Franklin XX
FF: Rough Hawkins XX

Rather than Rough and Franklin across the FF and N Riewoldt at CHF. Possibly harsh on Nick but didn't appear to me to finish the season as strongly as he started (but I'll readily admit also I didn't catch as much of the Saints as other teams).

Argument from antiquity.
But I'll pay it because the previous post was a troll.

Tough argument to say that Hawkins is a better choice than Riewoldt:

Not sure just linking some stats encapsulates the argument however I did say it may be harsh on Riewoldt.

I know which one I'd rather was the KPF for the Cats this week though.

So you say my argument is bad and then you suggest that this is a compelling argument for All Australian selection?

I didn't say your argument was bad. No need to get bent.

I said I didn't think stats linked necessarily encapsulates the argument. They didn't really paint a picture either way IMO. I also went on to agree (a 2nd time) that my stance may be harsh on Reiwoldt. You probably aren't going to succeed at the internet if you have a tanty whenever someome takes a different line to you.

Try winning grand finals without having anybody selected in the AA team.

Dustin Martin is surely a chance for a bench spot?

RANCE?!?!?!?!

Has it happened?

Slight chance.

Well that's one way to interpret my post.

If Ballantyne had avoided getting suspended he'd probably be my next in along with Pendlebury, Jacobs and Rance.

Had 3 kicked on him in a half?

No only one of Lynch's was when mackenzie was on him, the other two were mcgovern and wilson. It wasn't his best game but he did his job, 100% DE too.
