All Australian thread 2014

[master bate]

Before I was just a little annoyed that Jones couldn't crack the 40 and that 17 clubs had players in the 40 and 1 club misses out. Now I'm actually annoyed though having seen these stats:

Ranked 1st in Total Effective Disposals
Ranked 2nd in Total Disposals
Ranked 3rd in Total Clearances
Ranked 14th in Total Kicks
Ranked 8th in Total Handballs
Ranked 15th in Total Tackles
Ranked 9th in Total Supercoach Score
Ranked 10th in Total AFL Fantasy Score
Ranked 14th in Total Contested Possessions
Ranked 14th in Total Uncontested Possessions

Sure reads like enough to be in the top 15-20 midfielders who made the squad.

 

[Holy Rioli]

Only 3 on him.

only after he got moved off of him because Roughy had those 3 up in no time.

A half is hardly no time.

Rance ended your season and proved you foolish. He's already AA in my eyes.

He didn't end our season, we ended our own season by giving up a 34-point lead to Essendon. Rance won't make the team.

 

[EasternTiger]

Dustin Martin. You sir

Goldstein has been rucking solo for years and in a team that finished equal on wins with Port Adelaide. If they go Sandi fair enough but Goldy has paid his dues (bafflingly being beaten by Minson last year) and beating he, Jacobs, Mumford and playing very well against the cats in the last weeks. Instrumental in our wins against the top 4 early in the year and the main instigator late in games when we got over these sides. Hitting the scoreboard more of late I just thought he and Harvey would be the obvious ones with our improvement this year. The rest of the side has evened up to get us to 14 wins but these 2 have been standouts IMO

Didnt currie and daw play a couple of games hows is that "solo"

yes the 5-10% at best chop out he has got over the years has really helped, not. He is a getting better every year and after being in the squad last year it seemed a given he would make it again. Jacobs brings no more to the table than Goldy IMO

 

[hench]

I hope Priddis makes.

 

[LeverPuller]

Can someone reel off who's on the voting panel?

Don't worry we're in good hands- Gilligan, Darce and KB.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Heard this before. Going to trust Champion Data figures, gathered by professional statisticians and a source which clubs use, over observations of supporters.

Fair enough. Thanks for the snark, btw. Wasn't having a go at you, just asking a bloody question.

KB? That explains Ellis...

The All Australian selection panel is Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Mark Evans, Danny Frawley, Glen Jakovich, Cameron Ling, Matthew Richardson and Warren Tredrea.

Looking at the selection panel it's hard to understand how anyone places significant waiting on AA.

No, had you beaten Richmond, you would be playing finals. But you lost, at home, and have since then been sulking about and being bitter.
I'd say he is very likely for the final team. Again, care to wager?

 

[Righteo]

Looking at the selection panel it's hard to understand how anyone places significant waiting on AA.

It's as baffling as the stock everyone puts in the Chaz despite it being judged my maggots. Internal awards are the most prestigious no question.

 

[Daveismad]

Except Roughead who had a huge day out on him.

Mackenzie didn't play the whole game on roughy that day either

 

[Kenny_01]

Just how many Sydney nominations do you want? Where would they even fit McGlynn in? Doesn't deserve to be in there over any of the midfielders or small forwards.

Disagree. Thought he was most stiff. Has had far more impact than Ellis for example.

Sauce smashed Goldstein back in round 13

 

[NTRabbit]

The only ruckmen who beat Jacobs this year were Mumford and Sandilands

 

[Bailey01]

Does anyone else have a feeling that Priddis will make the team? Want it to happen to troll the West Coast supporters.

 

[juss]

Why so? Some all time greats in there who would know a thing or two about good footballers.

 

[Barnzy]

People underrating Ellis season doesn't surprise me given he's a young kid with not much of a reputation yet but he had the most AFLCA votes for Richmond above Martin, etc for a reason. Think he might've even finished top 15. He won't make the final team anyways so stop your tears.

It baffles me that players use it as benchmark for bonuses in their contracts

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

It will be ridiculous if someone who's played 20+ games gets relegated to the bench while Ablett is named in the starting line up.

Not that the line up rubs out anywhere, or anything like that, but it would not make sense.

I'm waiting for it though.

Fyfe is pretty much a walk-up start as an on-baller in everyone's team. Ablett has basically smashed him in every relevant stat, besides marks.
