As much as I simply cannot stand the bloke, Michael Hurley deserves a spot on the AA squad

 

[JHF1870]

This thread needs more Robbie Gray.

Hopefully he has a good run home to post his spot.

 

[Donakebab]

Lewis has missed three games and had a string of ordinary performances through the middle of the season. Behind quite a few mids this year. Fyfe, Pendlebury, Mitchell, Hannebery, Armitage, Dangerfield, Beams, Gray, Steven, Picken, Neale, Gaff are all ahead atm. Will need to come home with a wet sail.

His disposals mean nothing, they are cheap kicks. He's a useles accumulator was much better last year. Despite 2 thirds of his possesions being uncontested his disposal effiency is still in the 60's.

I am not saying he'll make it necessarily because I think there are too many midfielders who have been better this season, but I can tell you first hand that he was comfortably Hawthorn's best against us. Killed us.

And those numbers are deceiving. There are few genuine midfielders who average more than 15 kicks per game as he does (17) who have a better disposal percentage than him. Of the notable midfielders in contention for All- Australian Andrew Gaff, Sam Mitchell and Scott Pendlebury spring to mind.

He has had better years than this one, but I think you sell him pretty short. He's certainly in contention.

 

[billy fragos]

Fyfe having a run of average games, still a lock atm though.

 

[Underdog]

With McGovern out for an estimated 4 weeks, you can drop him from your sides. He was marginal already, now he'll miss too much footy

 

[juss]

Shame about McGovern. Rance, Hurley and who?

Mcpharlin or Gibson for mind if the Gov misses any more than 1-2 weeks and even then he'd need to come back and have a real dominant patch like at the start of the year.

Talia is not often beaten.

Gov been real good though. Early reports say 4 weeks.
Is that enough? Hard to tell.

Talia is a great defender, just not sure he's got the profile to get the nod. Gov will have scans tomorrow or Monday at the latest. That will determine if it's 0-2 weeks or 4-5 I think in regards to injury. If it's the latter you can't miss that much and still make AA without having a big media profile and being absolutely dominant.

Gibson definitely if McGovern misses too many. Shaw, Hurley and Rance are all just about locks barring injury.

Didn't Rance miss 5 last year?

 

[WCE_phil]

Didn't Rance miss 5 last year?

Yeah but he played all the back end of the season and had a very strong end to the season. He was also damned lucky to make it and a lot (most I would say) if they looked at last year in seclusion from this one would have had McKenzie instead of rance in the team.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Gaffy boy continuing his great form, will make the 22 at this rate

 

[AG]

Hannebery for the team. Frankling borderline. Kennedy squad of 40.

Only Swans deserving imo.

 

[Billyc]

Hodge, Mitchell and Gibson should all be in the side. Bruest and Rioli both either in or very close. In amazing form.

 

[thetradesman]

Locks for me atm are

Fyfe, Rance, Kennedy, Hannebery, Goldy.

 

[Bardo State]

Hodge, Mitchell and Gibson should all be in the side. Bruest and Rioli both either in or very close. In amazing form.

Breust has had a quiet year compared to previous. Rioli has been consistent but both would need a strong back end to the season to figure for the 22 I think. Either that or making it by default if Betts drops off.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Starting to warm to the idea of Gaff in the side

Has been spectacularly good and consistent

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Locks for me atm are

Fyfe, Rance, Kennedy, Hannebery, Goldy.

No Mitchell?

Would be leading the B&F of the team everyone is jumping on for the flag.

Would be in my team, but not a lock atm no.
