And this breaking news thrown in also

Port Adelaide midfielder Shaun Burgoyne has asked to be traded to an unspecified Melbourne-based club. Full story: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/84710/default.aspx

Holy crap! Breaking news indeed.

What are people's thoughts on Judd being selected? From what I saw over the course of the season he wasn't quite AA-worthy and may've gotten the nod on reputation.

 

[Bazz_27]

Judd is defiantly up to it. has had a great year, not as good as ablett but when you consider he plays with a whole lot of downhill skiers, he plays awesome, against us I decided I'd call him shoulders (after his remark against WCE a while ago I think he is still doing the same at Carlton)

 

[Vantz]

The team so far:

B: Enright, Scarlett, Lake
HB: Goodwin, C. Bolton, Maxwell
C: Montagna, Hayes, J. Selwood
Foll: Sandilands, Judd, Ablett

Shakes head. Should have been Goddard and Gilbert, even Sam Fisher

 

[taylor_walker_13]

Half Forwards: Chapman, Riewoldt, Swan

 

[Vantz]

Half Forwards: Chapman, Riewoldt, Swan

What a Joke!!! Chapman missed 5 games and only kicked 27 goals!

Swan great year in the Middle! put him on the bench if he cant make the midfield

 

[taylor_walker_13]

Forwards: Davis, Brown, Fevola

 

[Vantz]

LEON DAVIS!!! this is not Reputation AA, its 2009 AA GEES!!! so angry, Porplysia and LeCras had way better years

 

[Jackson Dredd]

Davis gets the nod over porpoise and lecras...great season from neon but a shame for Jason

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Leon Davis what a ****ing joke.

 

[jo172]

**** me, Milne, Le Cras and Porps all had better years than Davis and Chapman. Let alone some of the defenders who missed out in front of the joke of a half back line.

 

[graps]

B: Enright, Scarlett, Lake
HB: Goodwin, C. Bolton, Maxwell
C: Montagna, Hayes, J. Selwood
HF: Chapman, Riewoldt, Swan
F: Davis, Fevola, Brown
Foll: Sandilands, Judd, Ablett

Some decisions are just baffling.
Davis and Swan (in the forward line) over Porplyzia and Le Cras?

 

[amer]

Some of the worst AA selections I've ever seen. How the heck does Goodwin get in ahead of Goddard, Davis ahead of both LeCras and Porplyzia? And Swan at half forward? If he wasn't good enough to make the midfield he should either be on the interchange or not in there at all, not taking a spot that should rightfully go to the best HALF FORWARD.

 

[Vantz]

The All Australian selection panel is Andrew Demetriou, Adrian Anderson, Kevin Bartlett, Gerard Healy, James Hird, Glen Jakovich, Mark Ricciuto and Robert Walls

Adrian Anderson does not even watch football, rated Andy Otten lower then all over selectors.

Roo you are a legend, but Goody on a Flank come on, Wake UP!

 

[amez_7]

This AA team as officially lost all credibility. Swan although has a great year is NOT a forward. If you cant get him in the midfield then put him on the bench!
Leon Davis SERIOUSLY WTF!

 

[tcwaters]

Porps/Lecca >>> Davis, all day, every day.

 

[taylor_walker_13]

Bench: Goddard, Del Santo, Goodes and Boyd

 

[Punchy Bassett]

One of the worst AA teams ever?

 

[Punchy Bassett]

B: Enright, Scarlett, Lake
HB: Goodwin, C. Bolton, Maxwell
C: Montagna, Hayes, J. Selwood
HF: Chapman, Riewoldt, Swan
F: Davis, Fevola, Brown
Foll: Sandilands, Judd, Ablett
I/C: Boyd, Dal Santo, Goddard, Goodes

 

[graps]

Full Squad
B: Enright, Scarlett, Lake
HB: Goodwin, C. Bolton, Maxwell
C: Montagna, Hayes, J. Selwood
HF: Chapman, Riewoldt, Swan
F: Davis, Fevola, Brown
Foll: Sandilands, Judd, Ablett
I/C: Boyd, Dal Santo, Goddard, Goodes

Some fantastic players there but, some others... wow.

 

[Vantz]

Porps/Lecca >>> Davis, all day, every day.

Your Joking! its 2009 ALL AUSTRALIAN, Not based on who you think is the best for a game. It is the best player in a position in THAT YEAR. Porps and LeCras as a forward pocket destroyed Davis

> means greater than.

 

[Bazz_27]

Some of these selections are ridiculous, Davis shouldn't be there, Swann should be in the mids not on a flank. Maxwell? Cmon he's a hack and I stand by he's lucky to be in the pies best 22! Goody shouldn't be in there ahead of goddard.

As much as I love porps, Lecras should've been named on the ground and wasn't named at all- biggest mistake of the whole team, this will definatly create some talk in the papers over here but at least for once we don't have to listen to eddie complain!!!

 

[Jackson Dredd]

I think you can make a really good case for everyone who made the side. Great season all rounds
A bigger case could be made for a few who missed out....

 

[Sir Vlado]

This AA team is utter garbage. Please tell me how many goals Davis kicked for this year and how the hell did he get there ahead of Porplyzia and LeCras?

Has to be up there with the worst AA teams ever.
