Toast All Australian

[Troystenvic]

Congratulations to 5 Sydney Swans players making the AA 22. Gret efforts from

Lance Franklin
Daniel Hannebery
Dane Rampe
Josh P Kennedy
Luke Parker

Great to see the lads rewarded for stellar seasons to date...

Who's been your favourite and why???

 

[Ticky009]

The Great Dane.
Did it the hard way, has thrived in his new leadership role.

 

[SilentHunter_]

All of them have been brilliant this season. But Franklin for me. Last year was hard for the big fella and to come back like the way he has and the fact that he will be a key player for us come finals makes me respect him even more as a player and a person in general.

 

[MF]

Rampe. His transformation has been immense. Gone from a handy defender to a guy who not only beats players of any size one on one but also does it while intercepting marks and rebounding from defence like he doesn't have an opponent.

 

[SouthSwans]

Hanners, just keeps going and going and going. Love watching that bloke.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Rampe a mere 4 years ago was playing in some team called the Eastern Suburb Bulldogs in the Sydney AFL (bush league) now he is AA caliber player.

[Indie_]

Has to be Rampe.

 

[Superstar swan]

very happy and proud of dane. Ha worked incredibly hard to become imo the bestand most versitile half back in the game

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Buddy could get double figures, would take some beating!

Happy for all the boys, Parks and Rampe on their first!

whats the record? 8?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

whats the record? 8?

No idea. How many did Pavlich get?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Gary Ablett has 8 so that might be the record.

 

[mtooler]

Buddy shades Rampe due to mental health bounce back, but nothing in it for me.

JPK clearly been robbed a few. He's been top 5 (min) best clearance player league wide for 5+ years IMO. How he only has 3 amazes me.

He will go down in history as a club hof legend I reckon.

 

[Indie_]

Robert Harvey, Riciutto and Ablett hold the record with 8 selections. I think Franklin will at least match them, if not get up over them.

 

[Tuco]

So proud of all of them. But special props to the two debutants in Parker and Rampe!

As much as I understand your theory, you can't judge these matters simply by numbers alone however. If that were so, Neale had to be in this year's 22.

 

[dopesayo]

Grundy robbed of top 40.

 

[Punts]

If there was anything to come out of the AJ situation it was Rampe taking his chsnce

 

[Grongey]

Luke Parker a bit fortunate in my view, not the most consistent year.

Great to see JPK finally getting his due.

Rampe, a meteoric rise. Nothing was handed to him on a plate.

Buddy, beat the blues.

Hanneberry, keeping on keeping on

The leader of the best defence in the league, not even short listed! Ripped off Reg.

Kirky is back, and our mids are firing.

 

[Sketi]

Luke Parker a bit fortunate in my view, not the most consistent year.

Got through on scoreboard impact / goals kicked I believe, one of the only mids this year to kick over 20 and still averaged 28 disposals.

5 in is a huge effort, all deserving for mine. My only worry is that everyone is talking about how awesome we are... It's meant to be a secret!

 

[TripleB]

Luke Parker a bit fortunate in my view, not the most consistent year.

I agree to some extent, but I have little doubt he should have been selected in the 2014 AA team, so happy to call it all square at this stage with more to come...

 

[The King!]

Gary Ablett has 8 so that might be the record.

Ablett, Rob Harvey and Riciuto on 8

 

[The King!]

I think rampe is a standout
But all great stories

If the afl had any decency they would chuck rance out put Grundy in so we have 6


Tippett imo was on course for the squad prior to injury
