Aboriginal & TSI Indigenous All-Stars named for Crows clash

[D/MoN]

Matt Campbell and Lindsay Thomas are both better than the players bolded.

Fair enough call, but in regards to the wing, Jetta would be more suited there than Matt and Lindsay, IMO.

budge11, I don't think you understand why I picked Lovett-Murray ahead of Matt Campbell: to fill in as a KPP. To not understand otherwise is mystifying. And Alwyn Davey, Jetta and Betts can play a similar role to Campbell near goal, Davey much more so!

Like I said, 'some unlucky exclusions'. Anyway, this team's based on opinion.

 

[TassieSaint]

D/MoN I like your team but Shaun Burgoyne would come close to being the best indigenous player in the league (probably 3rd after Franklin and Goodes) and is 100 times the player Jetta or Walker are. Wells would start in the midfield as well. Assuming Goodes has to play key position I'd go something more like:

C: Bateman Davey Davis
R: Griffin Burgoyne Wells

 

[Hollow Knight]

Adam Goodes is coaching the All Stars side and Micky O'Loughlin is assistant coach.

Thats what I read.

You sure?

I heard Chris Johnson is coaching the All-Stars.

 

[TassieSaint]

Goodes and Micky O are both assistants to Chris Johnson

TS, I'm thinking leg-speed for the wing, hence Jetta, but I see your point on Burgoyne. But for Walker, he's more hard-at-it and can play a run-with role from the middle, so I picked him over Wells.

BrownDog, Johnno's the coach, Goodes and O'Loughlin are his assistants.

The inexperience in the Indigenous side is unbeleiveable! Good opportunity for some of these guys to get a name for themselves early.

Again though, I point out that in terms of games played they're almost identical to the Crows squad.

 

[SirJimi05]

Brennan???

They're lucky Griffo is 0.0000000021% Aboriginal por they'd have no rucks.

Ryder?

 

[cmndstab]

Ryder?

Not playing for some reason. Any idea why?

 

[DarwinRoo]

I agree that they are much better then Jetta/Betts, but Alwyn? Thats an incredibly wrong statement

No its not.

 

[Warwick]

Brennan???

They're lucky Griffo is 0.0000000021% Aboriginal por they'd have no rucks.

Griffen is 0.0000000021% "more" aboriginal than Brennan.

morgs1, this would be my best 22 (from the backline):

Roger Hayden -- Antoni Grover -- Graham Johncock
Chance Bateman -- Patrick Ryder -- Matthew Whelan
Leroy Jetta -- Andrew McLeod -- Cyril Rioli jnr
Aaron Davey -- Adam Goodes -- Alwyn Davey
Eddie Betts -- Lance Franklin -- Mark Williams

Rucks:
Jonno Griffin (ruck), Leon Davis (rover), Andrew Walker (ruck rover)

Interchange:
Michael Johnson, David Wirrpanda, Andrew Lovett, Nathan Lovett-Murray​

Some unlucky exclusions, including Des Headland, Matt Campbell, Lindsay Thomas, Ash McGrath, Shaun Burgoyne ... but just picture the Davey boys creating absolute mayhem, confusion and panic for the opposing forwards; McLeod delivering to Goodes and Franklin lace out!; the run and carry from the backline; the zip of the wingers; the strength of the spine (Grover changing with Johnson); and the hardness in the centre!

Now that would be an all stars team!

your kidding...no wells or burgouyne...im surprised u didnt name russell jeffrey

Surely you would not leave out shaun burgoyne.. He is easily the best aboriginal midfieler, ruck rover in the comp.. Seriously dont kno much football mate?

 

[The Joker]

No Docker players will be playing because Shaun McManus is getting married on he 7th of Feb and maybe they will be attending...

 

[D/MoN]

Apparently not. Name your team, and let's see how it compares...

 

[ShinSplints]

Have I missed something? Where are the Fremantle players? Am I missing their names in the squad or is there a reason they are not playing?

Fremantle players?? Um I think you answered your own question.

 

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

I am most probably sure Cockie will get dropped.
Hopefully not as I want to see how well he preforms in the AFL.

 

[DrTomSwift]

Your probably right, any rookie in the squad will probably be at the end of the selection list. But I'd put cockie over bedford.

 

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

Your probably right, any rookie in the squad will probably be at the end of the selection list. But I'd put cockie over bedford.

Thats true, but they need to drop 2/3 players?
I would be supriced if they dont drop him.

 

[Lupton Warchild Pittman]

Eddie Betts is better than Garlett.

Eddie is close to the worst Aborignal playing AFL.

 

[Vince Van Mackay]

Eddie is close to the worst Aborignal playing AFL.

Massively overrated by Carlton fans.

 

[crazzzy_grrl]

Your probably right, any rookie in the squad will probably be at the end of the selection list. But I'd put cockie over bedford.

Cockie & Beford are both in for a chance to play for West Coast that night. The only definite from the eagles is that Wirra will play for the all stars

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

In terms of height, there's a huge discrepency. The average height in the IAS squad is 180.91cm, with the following top five:

Jonathon Griffin - 202cm, 28 games
Liam Jurrah - 193cm, 0 games
Nathan Lovett-Murray - 190cm, 85 games
Raphael Clarke - 189cm, 41 games
Joshua Hill - 186cm, 19 games

Tellingly, the only person besides Griff even near to ruckman height is Jurrah, a zero-gamer recruited in the PSD as a forward. Griffin is a fine ruck but I have trouble imagining him being able to ruck in Darwin for the full 80 minutes.

For the Crows squad, the average height is 187.63cm, with the following top five:

Kurt Tippett - 201cm, 19 games
Brad Moran - 199cm, 10 games
Ivan Maric - 198cm, 30 games
James Sellar - 196cm, 1 games
Shaun McKernan - 196cm, 0 games

Only five players in the Crows squad are shorter than the average height for the IAS squad - two of which are Jacky and Petrenko (who I included assuming they would be cut from the IAS squad). The Crows have 23 players over 6' tall, whereas the IAS have 9.

Yep that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the squad.

No, Goodes, Franklin, Ryder, Michael Johnson, and even O'Loughlin means they are basically a side of shrimps. Edit: forgot Brennan as well is missing.

Their best hope is for monsoonal rain for 2 hours before the game and probably during it.

 

[Puddy]

I just hopr that it is a close, exciting match

 

[Hollow Knight]

No, Goodes, Franklin, Ryder, Michael Johnson, and even O'Loughlin means they are basically a side of shrimps. Edit: forgot Brennan as well is missing.

Just in case people missed in the first 6 times. Brennan is as indigenous as Cameron Ling.
