Roast All Australian.

[Cotchin 9]

No Deledio, again? What a joke!

 

[Calcium Man]

Geez Enright, Murphy and scarlett all there on reputation. Birchall, Scotland and lids have all been better

 

[TOOs_Finest]

Robert Murphy ahead of him, what a joke. Scotland should have been the only other HBF in front of Lids. Even Davis is seriously questionable. They've been blind-sided by his good second half of the year.


B: Matthew Scarlett (Geelong), Darren Glass (West Coast), Corey Enright (Geelong)
HB: Robert Murphy (Western Bulldogs), Ben Reid (Collingwood), Leon Davis (Collingwood)
C: Dale Thomas (Collingwood), Sam Mitchell (Hawthorn), Scott Pendlebury (Collingwood)
HF: Marc Murphy (Carlton), Travis Cloke (Collingwood), Dane Swan (Collingwood)
F: Stephen Milne (St Kilda), Lance Franklin (Hawthorn), Adam Goodes (Sydney Swans)
Ruck: Dean Cox (West Coast), Chris Judd (Carlton), Gary Ablett (Gold Coast)
I/C: Matthew Boyd (Western Bulldogs), Nick Dal Santo (St Kilda), James Kelly (Geelong), Drew Petrie (North Melbourne)

 

[Groupie_]

Lids has been better than Murphy and Davis. ****** joke!

Should take one of their positions, and they couldnt even find a spot for him on the bench!

 

[TOOs_Finest]

I reckon it's an insult to have Mitchell in the pivot, with Pendlebury on a wing and Murphy on a flank. Mitchell has a pretty good year, but was a rung below those two.

 

[_RT_]

I guess they are thinking that Deledio has time on his side to get his AA jumper, while guys like Davis and Murphy are near the ends of their careers.

 

[Bojangles17]

you'd have to be bloody joking, how on earth is Murphy judged better than Lids, less I50's, less clearances, less goals and less average possies, but yep you guessed it old muffin chops contends he had a better year...i reckon paul the octopus would do a better job selecting the side than these clowns

WTF ROBERT MURPHY ARE THEY ****ING JOKING!!!!!!!!

Grr, that team is a ****ing travesty. One hundred bucks says Darcy begged the committee for his favourite puppy to be in the team.

Honestly, it just reflects the complete joke that the AFL has become. They should just name 22 midfielders.

IMO, let the players vote AA, this committee is a joke.

The funny thing is, Deledio wasn't the stiffest non entry. McPharlin, Gibson, S.Thompson...

 

[TigerGlory]

Robert Murphy is a shocking inclusion, but theres always one every year.

No Steve Johnson is also a horrendous blue by the selectors.

 

[Rustof]

Davis. Is there a player in the AFL with an easier job?

 

[tugga]

Robert Murphy over Deledio.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Oh well.. always some who miss out, some who probably shouldn't be there.

It'd be surprising if they actually did it "right".

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

WTF is Petrie doing in the side? Is he meant to be a back up ruckman?

Kennedy, Jack and even Barry Hall were far more deserving key forwards.

 

[Rustof]

Funny how people keep saying how Rob Murphy's had his best year and with little support in a struggling side.

What do you think Deledio has been doing his whole career!?

 

[Strawbs]

I don't bother getting too upset about the AA team. Just about the most irrelevant thing in footy.

 

[Heisenberg_]

Murphy was lucky to even make the squad what a joke

 

[Strawbs]

WTF is Petrie doing in the side? Is he meant to be a back up ruckman?

Kennedy, Jack and even Barry Hall were far more deserving key forwards.

The media and former players have this love affair with the Kangaroos. Jack - more goals and goal assists? Not that I thought he would get selected but now that Petrie has, well, why not Jack? Whatever.

 

[Spielvogel]

Your all joking yeah??

Murphy over lids? Leon Davis getting cheapies in the back pocket?!

Davis MAYBE but I'm honestly flabbergasted at Murphy's inclusion.

 

[dwwaino]

The All Australian/Top 8 Team is as farce as next week's Brownlow/Brown-nose/Midfielders medal! bah!

 

[delediofan3]

If I were Deledio, I'd be pretty pissed. Second year running where he's been nominated but not selected.

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

Come on guys , this is the All Australian Team here! I saw Lids disappear in at least 6 games this year. Showed no leadership at all in the Port and Gold Coast games. Is good enough to take both those games by the scruff of the next and inspire teammates but always chooses not to.

Has the ability but not this year. Hopefully next year.

 

[TigerTime88]

I can cop Deledio missing this year (although was filthy about Harry O over Lids last year). But Heath Scotland out for Murphy is a joke...

 

[Barnzy]

Robert Murphy isn't even close to Deledio in performance.

 

[richolovesgoal]

Is this a joke?

I don't think I watched one dogs game where I even noticed Murphy.

Deledio averaged 26 touches in an average team, what more can he do?

Enright shouldn't have been there either, was solid, but it wasn't his best year, and others were better.

Marc Murphy shouldn't have been on a flank, he never played there.

Petrie never performed against a good team.

And Stevie J was one of the best forwards of the year.

Team should have been:

Davis Glass Scarlett
Deledio Reid Scotland
Thomas Mitchell Penldbury
Johnson Cloke Swan
Goodes Franklin Milne
Cox Judd Ablett
Murphy Boyd Goldstein Kelly

Selectors need a serious shakeup. The team is suppose to be positional, you can't just fill the forward line with midfielders because they were good.

And anyone with a brain could tell you that Rob Murphy shouldn't have been there.

 

[TigerGlory]

I would have had Dal Santo on the Back flank because that is where he was moved to this season and absolutely dominated.
