[kade]

hes the only ruck in the squad!

nic nat is in the squad

 

[OhhDeledio]

hes the only ruck in the squad!

Stef Martin aswell

 

[WCEbrody]

With no Talia,Hooker or McPharlin in the squad( how???) i think McGovern will make it into the side as the 3rd tall. Or someone like Gibson.

 

[King Bont]

Who does he replace?

I feel he could of possibly replaced Neale, maybe Jorden Lewis ? He hasn't been in AA form this year.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Stef Martin aswell

You're reading the wrong list. Stefan Martin is not in the squad.

 

[Nile]

The classic change subject with grammatical errors.

But I'm really am sympathetic mummy and daddy couldn't afford you a decent education.

 

[La Vache]

The Lewis selection is proof that selectors covet raw stats over games. Even Burgoyne has cruised through the last three months after a great start. Midfielders that have been better off the top of my head - Cotchin, Bontempelli, Hodge, Shiels, I Smith, Thompson, Hartlett, Vince.

 

[doggies ftw]

Have to laugh at the Bulldogs supporters whinging about Bontempelli. He had a big dry-patch mid-season, along with some abysmal games, specifically vs Melbourne at the G, and West Coast a couple of weeks ago. He's still had a good year, but to suggest he's a lock over several other midfielders who you probably haven't even seen this year, proves your stupidity.

Yes he had a bit of a dry patch but his form either side of that makes up for it, he has been bloody brilliant this year. Shooting up to number 13 overall in the AFL ratings.

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

How the **** does Rance get in, but not Hooker?

Nice troll

On that basis, if Rioli gets into the team ahead of Deledio, its a joke.

 

[ManOfClay]

The classic change subject with grammatical errors.

But he also has a point: stringer>lynch

 

[Quinz]

I'm a bit surprised by Burgoyne, Lewis and Dahlhouse but I'm open to being convinced. Lack of tall defenders and ruckmen in the squad.

 

[askdotcom]

Yes he had a bit of a dry patch but his form either side of that makes up for it, he has been bloody brilliant this year. Shooting up to number 13 overall in the AFL ratings.

in that case then Dayne Zorko should be in who's up to 18 in the rankings. Would you have the Bont replace Dahlhouse out of curiosity?

 

[La Vache]

On what basis?

 

[Tas]

It is disgusting that Sandilands isn't even in the 40 man squad, even if they only pick one ruckman, he deserved to make the 40 man squad.

 

[Whatname]

At least Sandi can rest easy in the fact every time he plays Goldy or Nic Nat he tears them apart.

 

[yakka man]

It is disgusting that Sandilands isn't even in the 40 man squad, even if they only pick one ruckman, he deserved to make the 40 man squad.

It really is one of the most glaring All Australian omissions I can think of. He has been awesome this year.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

As a Hawks supporter Gunston..Lewis..Gibson..Burgoyne LOL how did they make the squad?

Smith was stiff and without looking I'm sure Hodge's stats were better than Boyds, I expect Mitchell and Rioli to make the side, that's it.

You'd be wrong. Boyd has more kicks, handballs and marks than Hodge

 

[ManOfClay]

in that case then Dayne Zorko should be in who's up to 18 in the rankings. Would you have the Bont replace Dahlhouse out of curiosity?

Different players but depending on makeup Dahl would be one of the first out

 

[HBFlanker]

Yep, i have butchered this. carry on.

 

[schmuttt]

No Armitage/Sandilands/Steven? This team becomes more of a joke each year.

 

[quin_stick]

Ibbotson and Burgoyne the big headscratchers, there's a few every year and generally one makes the 22. Not sure about McGovern, I reckon if you play under 19 games you should have to stand out over the competitors, think Talia is stiff.

Lewis is been solid nowhere near AA.
Based on recent form, Burgoyne should be retiring. Aside from a couple of clutch goals (WC), he has been hardly noticable. Not in our best 15 this season.
Hodge much better than either.
Mitchell had a slow start to the season but should make the team.

 

[Lach72]

Pretty much. Has not been beaten all year.

Not once

 

[Hawkas1988]

I know Hodge missed 5 games but he has had a brilliant year. How Lewis and Burgoyne were picked ahead of him from a Hawthorn perspective I have no idea.

Sandi haha ridiculous

Also Cotchin a bit stiff
