Toast All Australian - Shaw, Greene AA; Coniglio, Ward, Scully in 40 man squad

[Ichabod Noodle]

it's a pity you can only have one prefix in a thread title because I wanted to Toast and Roast.

Firstly congrats to the boys who were chosen in the 40 man squad
Heater
Cogs
Sculls
Uncle Toby
Cement Head

Great work from the boys - all worthy of their spot.

But seriously.... No Zac Williams? A truly WTF decision to leave him out.

 

[dlanod]

If you're a high draft pick you can get in with one good year.

Rookies and others need at least two.

(Almost) always been true.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Zac Williams omission is an absolute disgrace

 

[Giant Strides]

Congratulations to the guys who did make the squad - absolutely fantastic seasons and well deserved.
Well done to those who must have been in consideration, which would have included Dylan Shiel & Zac Williams - great seasons also.

Unfortunately for Zac he isn't even the best rebounding half back for us so his chances of making it are very slim when there are some other very good players in the comp playing the same role.

He is our best rebound HBF

Sorry to interrupt guys, but a guy at work today was adamant Toby Greene will finish top 3 in the Brownlow.

Do you guys give him a sniff, cause he's paying $2500 at the moment to win.

He likened him to Ben Cousins today!!

 

[Gigantic]

Congrats to the lads on making it. Cogs and Shaw should be in final 22 IMO.

The Brownlow is a midfielders award. I cant see Toby getting more than 14 or so votes, under any circumstances.

who in the AA squad would you drop for Williams

I had him lucky to poll 10, max.

Then when the AA squad was announced he put another $20 on him.

Either he's the worlds worst punter or the fix is in and he knows it.

I had 20 on him earlier to be highest polling Giant

He'll be crowned worlds worst punter before Uncle Toby gets the Brownlow. Certainly won't be this year given his role as a small forward. He gives the umps too much lip and is prone to some unnecessary niggle that would also count against him. His running style is is very reminiscent of Cuz I have to say.

I just dont see our guys winning Brownlows. There are too many great mids to share the votes around. Ward has traditionally polled highest and I expect he'll get less this year as Kelly, Williams and Whitfield in particular will poll more.
I'd like to be wrong but a team with a standout much more likely IMO.

That's debatable. Shaw has a pretty good claim on being our number 1

Black and Aker both won in Brisbane's Fab 4.
Ablett won in Geelong's stacked midfield.
It's not impossible.

I'd rank them:
1) Shaw
2) Wilson
3) Williams

Though Wilson was down in form in the last month, he was leaving Williams for dead earlier in the year.

I hope you're right. I'm not going to pick a favourite, anyone would be ok with me

There is an argument that having class around you just helps more, particularly if you are an edge above your team mates. Looks like Danger will do it along side Selwood and co.

Good to see people embracing their incorrectness.

I really do hope you're right. I actually think Geelongs midfield is a bit of a one man band though. Guthries not the spud I thought he might be, but still.

 

[coniglio_number1]

Player ratings team of the year



Great to see Williams recognised

 

[coniglio_number1]

Afl.com.au team of the year



Heater an obvious selection



Scully a well deserved nomination despite main board inability to let go of his prior years form.




Toby the surprise packet! Expected to see Dylan Shiel here



And of course no team is complete without my main man Coniglio!!
