All Australian thread 2015

[MotleyLemon]

B: Laird - Rance - Wood
HB: Shaw - Hurley - Murphy
C: Pendlebury - Fyfe - Hannerbery
HF: Wingard - Walker - Martin
F: Betts - Kennedy - Stringer
R: Goldstein - Dangerfield - Kennedy
Int: Naitanui - Gaff - Priddis - Mitchell

Bold = Under pressure. With two games remaining the rest are pretty much locks

Laird? Maybe in the squad, no way he makes the actual side.

People now catching on to Stringer's brilliance makes me a happy camper. Walker deserves CHF, Kennedy FF, Stringer 3rd tall.

Laird? Maybe in the squad, no way he makes the actual side.

Why not? He average 24 disposals from a back pocket, more than shaw and Murphy. I wouldn't expect people who only watch their own teams like you to notice him but the all Australian panel will.

Four crows in the best 22?

Murphy is infinitely more damaging with the ball ... and I wouldn't expect South Australians to know but Matthew Boyd gets more touches than Laird

You bring up damaging touches and then include Mathew Boyd in the conversation...

Boyd? Enright having as good a year also, Hodge has been selected back before and played there at times this year, similar Sam Mitchell, Houli etc etc, but I wouldn't expect someone who only watches their own team to know that.

Haha u accuse other people of not watching games. Have u seen Boyd in 2015?? His disposal this year has been pinpoint. There was a story in the paper a few weeks ago, champion data have a kicking efficiency stat that they adjust for difficulty of each kick ... Boyd was only 1st in the comp ...

"Champion Data rates kicking not on efficiency rates but on expected return — effectively factoring in the difficulty of a kick and the player’s position — with Boyd 8.6 per cent ahead of the curve"

He's a chance

 

[BRider]

billy just got shut down.

Sandi was good in the first quarter. But goldy worked back into the game and ended up being huge in the last quarter when the team needed him.. still the
AA lock is goldy.

 

[Substance]

GET STRINGER IN THE TEAM NOW!!

 

[cotter101]

Sandilands the invisible man remains undefeated. not beaten once this year

Leuenberger beat him.

Sandi having a very good year, no doubt. Feel Goldstein's has been better though.

 

[Dan]

Sandilands the invisible man remains undefeated. not beaten once this year

It's just not FAIR is it!?!?!?

Poor Sandy :/

 

[eth-dog]

Shaded him overall but can't keep a good man down, all class in that last quarter. Sandy got the points in the hitouts but around the ground goldy got the chocolates.

Sandy killed him in the hitouts and they were even around the ground.

Meh, who cares, Goldstein and Natanui have more influence

 

[Bollox]

Disposals are more important than contested marks for a CHF.

I declare the home stretch reach formally open with this classic.

 

[tek87]

Meh, who cares, Goldstein and Natanui have more influence

well put it this way. sandi had more influence than those two when he played against him. Sandilands beat leunburger also. have you forget the last quarter where he determined the game. a couple of lucky goals dont hide that beating. undefeated and should be second ruckman at worst

 

[Port01]

Second tall forward I can't work out. Give it to the one thats kicked the most against finalists. Can't think of any that have had more than 1 good game against finalists (Walker v North, Riewoldt v Sydney, Cameron v Hawthorn).

 

[Jootube]

NicNat BOG for the Eagles today. Bench spot to Goldstein is probably fair.

Determining the game in the last quarter? sounds like Goldy today. sorry, not gonna happen.

Dont think Walker should be in the team, just because he is a full forward like kennedy
not a chf.
Also his defensive pressure is weak compared to other key forwards.

 

[King Elvis]

Murphy is a gun, but you're seriously under rating Laird; he's been brilliant this year.

He'll make the squad, probably won't make the side this year, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

He is a CHF. Jenkins is our FF

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

I think Deledio should be in conversations now. He's the highest goal kicking midfielder in the game. He's only played 15 of 20 games this year and he's kicked 23 goals. He's averaging 10 contested possessions a game, 23 possessions, 8 score involvements, 71% disposal efficiency. He's a supreme player and our most important, considering we're 5th and have beaten Fremantle, Hawthorn and Sydney, you'd say Deledio should slot straight into that half forward line.

His games against the good teams? Against Hawthorn he won the game. Kicked 3 goals in the first quarter, 4 in total. I

Dustin Martin had more influence than Fyfe when he played against him. Should he be in ahead of him?
