All Australian thread 2015

[Topkent]

Your first win in 17 years and you completely exaggerate everything, relax buddy, learn your footy, two goals against isn't a 'destroy job' maybe by Melbourne standards it is...

It was the contested marks, the influence and the fact that rance had no impact going the other way because he had his hands full, in fact he restored to flopping around like he was shot trying to get some sort of a kick

Solid side but I don't think Breust would be in the side at this stage. Hasn't been that great. I'd even say Puopolo has been better than him at Hawthorn, despite going off injured the other night..

Yeah he is still kicking goals. But the rest of his game is down.

Not setting up anywhere near as many goals as last year.

Rance is a very good CHB, but i'm not sure where this idea that he's some unstoppable colossus who can be handed his 2015 All Australian guernsey already has come from.

There are a lot of performing tall defenders after round 4. Rance is around the mark, but so are plenty of others at this stage.

If rance can live off his game vs us so far this year then looks like Michael Talia is getting a guernsey based on Sunday. Blanketed a much better forward than tom Boyd while getting nearly as much touches himself as rance did

Hogan beat Rance hands down, he beat him in contests and stopped his influence on the game he usually has.

You might want to get that sizeable chip on your shoulder looked at.

I would say the two KPD would have to be Hooker & T McDonald. Last year they selected 3 KPD so a few others would be in the mix if selectors went that way again.
Goldstein is clearly the best ruck so far.

For those placing B Smith at HBF (where he played last year) he has been playing on the wing this season so may lose out to S Hill.

Agree - Rance look like a deer in the headlights and stop coming off his man to help others. Without his back up the other Tiger backs went to water. Hogan really had him worried.

 

[Super Hans]

Reckon Dahlhaus should be in the running for one of the small forward positions..

Dahl's played exclusively midfield this year, and he'd be behind a fair few there.

Murph and Boyd are the only two who I think should be 100% in the team from the dogs atm, but you could probably make an argument for Bontempelli.

Where do you see McGovern after his 4 games so far ?

Heppell over Pendlebury

Will admit I haven't watched many teams this year. Going to make an argument for Carlile at full back though.

15 possessions a game from a FB
1v1s in every game so far:
Pavlich: 4 goals (big loss)
Tipett: 1 goal
Petrie: 2 goals
Jarryd Roughead: 0 goals
Tex Walker: 2 goals

Let's wait and see how many goals champion data has recorded against him before we give him the gig.

Not to mention the teams inside 50s vs him....

Bruce from the Saints has to come into consideration - took Hooker and Hurley apart today.

Don't think McGovern has had more than 2-3 kicked on him in 5 rounds

Not sure he'll get it this year when he didn't get it last year.

McDonald has had a better start to the year than Hurley. Had another very good game today

 

[Baird]

Armitage

Has always been an underrated player. Taken another step up this year.

 

[eth-dog]

Hurley has pantsed Buddy, Roughy, Henderson, White (not great but can only beat who you play on) and kept Bruce to 1 goal when moved onto him this afternoon. Have you watched an Essendon game?
