McGovern wont make the final team. I think his intercept marking is what got him into the squad. Was one of the highest ranked for that.

 

[askdotcom]

Pretty much. Has not been beaten all year.

Not once

The burger did pretty well against him.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Well we know who are the KPD of the team!

 

[Lach72]

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.

Ibbotson has had his best year. Been our best defender over all I'd say

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Good to see Dahlhaus recognised for a fantastic year (a fantastic two years, really).

Probably won't make the final team, but very deserving. Has stepped up big time.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Yes I'm a Port supporter.

But reasons why Martin is being named over Gray?

Gray has him on total possessions, contested possessions, goals kicked, goals assists, clearances, DE%

 

[King Bont]

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

Midfielders don't get nominated for AA just because they can get a lot of the ball. They have to use it as well

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Do the selectors still think Luke Dahlhaus is a small forward or something? He's ppayed 80% midfield/high half forward wing role. He's a had a good year no doubt but surely theres more than 20 players in his role more deserving? Bontempelli from my own club for starters.

 

[AJB84]

hes the only ruck in the squad!

Naitanui?

Sheppard the same for us, I thought he was a sneaky chance for a squad gig.

Darcy probably got him in there.

This, I think you've nailed it. He has rarely played as a forward in 2015, almost exclusively as a mid. Good year for Dahl, but not AA standard in my view.

 

[TassieSaint]

As usual the squad is compromised by trying to shoehorn in a certain number of playera from top sides.

Just at a glance no way Hill, Mundy, Dahlhaus or Lewis had better years than Armitage.

 

[Substance]

Bont doesn't even make the squad wtf? I see about 5 players at least I'd swap out for him. One of them is definitely Luke Dahlhaus.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Deledio in the squad is a joke.

 

[Halftimehero]

Surely they chucked half those Hawthorn blokes in based on reputation?

 

[blaisee]

On what basis?

Well apart from goals and assists which are similar
The rest

kicks, HB, I50, CO, UP, ED%, CM, MI50, time on ground, Clearances, rebound 50 ect ect take your pick

It is a disgrace another AFL handout specific to Cyril if he gets into this AA team ahead of Lids. Even if lids has played 3 less games.

Only Mundy and Lewis are similar players out of those you mentioned and both deserve to be in the squad. Armitage is a crap omission though no doubt.

 

[DontArgue4]

Deledio in the squad is a joke.

Hahahahaha in what world is it a joke?

 

[DaVillaBlues]

stop crying. been brilliant

Better than Deledio, without question..

 

[Senor Ed]

No Cale Hooker is a bloody joke

lol

You just ruined your argument. He'd be ahead of Armitage in most awards

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

No Armitage is a joke of a selection.

Mundy and Dahlhaus unquestionably had better years than Armitage.

Lewis I'll give you. Baffling.

 

[richcogs]

Everyone who is say so and so should of made the team. Bloody specify for who!!!!!!!!
