wtf Josh Kennedy only makes the bench for the second 22?
I love player ratings, it is like Roby without umpire weightings.
That's a bit of a joke. Methinks the previous season has too much weighting.

For the Crows, Sloane makes the AA bench, despite only playing 14 games (1 of which he was subbed out of after 1 quarter with a fractured cheekbone) and Brodie Smith somehow makes the second team, despite having a fairly average year after suffering 2 concussions in the first 7 games.

That's presuming Hodge is out for the rest of H&A. Otherwise he comes in for Kennedy.

Most people are putting Mitchell on the back flank. Not sure why, he hasn't played there all year
Been thinking the same thing. He's no chance of being named there. How do you like Gibson's chances? I've had him in since McGovern got injured but notice most Hawks supports don't, so I'm doubting now.

He is not in for mine, but maybe they owe him one for 2013. I'm thinking rance and hurley are certainties. Im thinking they might go for 4 running backs and just have the 2 key position types

Starts on the back of the square every now and then. Would spend more time on half back than Gray or Dangerfield do on a forward flank. Probably won't be named there because there are plenty of deserving small/medium defenders this year imo.

Surely Hayne is a chance to make the roster if the AA selectors are going with 4 RB's!

Rance and Martin are the only two Richmond players likely to make it for mine. Deledio missing those games hurts. Cotchin role has been done better (not by a lot) by other mids in his position.
Cotchin has been massive for the team with his impact but he hasn't put in as many 4 quarter consistent performances that attract others .

Looks fine, but Shepperd is nowhere near the AA side I'm sorry to say.
Other than that, looks like a good side.

And 2014, and 2012.

However I don't think he will make the team this year. 12,13 and 14 were all better.

Like: NicNat on the bench
Dislike: Priddis, would swap for Pendles.

Sorry but that is horrid.
How could you have Roughead, Boyd or McVeigh in that side is confusing.

Even Riewoldt is like the 5th ranked key forward in the game this year.
Boyd has been one of the best small defenders in the comp this year. That last spot in the back six is between Boyd, Laird and Murphy.

I dont agree. I think both Laird and Murphy have been far more outstanding.

Anyway thats the least of the worries with that side.

Bont? Riewoldt? Roughead? McGovern?
These guys will struggle to make the squad.

Riewoldt will make the squad, IMO he should be in the 22.
From the player ratings side I would say Bennell, Roughead, Bont, McVeigh, McGovern, Burgoyne, Selwood and Sloane are all no chance of the squad.

Boyd has been fantastic this year. He basically hold that back 6 together along with Wood. Tackles, marks, defends and gets the ball 30 odd times a game. He is 100% deserving of being in the side. But as I said, that last spot could go to any of Murphy, Boyd or Laird.

He makes the squad...but shouldnt make the side IMO.

but yes, that side is laughable and that was my major point.

Has started at the back of the square as much as the middle itself as Clarko likes to rotate more players through than most and tries to lessen our reliance on the older players to win clearances.

Edit: already mentioned.
