Opinion My All Australian team at the half mark of 2009

[thegeneral15]

TEAM -

F: Chapman, Fevola, LeCras
HF: Akermanis, Riewoldt, S.Johnson
C: A.Davey, Dal Santo, Goodes
HB: Gilbert, Bock, Goddard
B: Drummond, Prestigiacomo, R.Shaw
Foll: Sandilands, Montagna, Ablett
Inter: Swan, L.Davis, Jolly, Hayes

 

[AG]

Take out Shaw and put Scarlett in. Also do you know how to present a team sheet? You start from the backline.

 

[thegeneral15]

rhyce shaw = best running defender of 09....and im not saying because im a fan, i really dont like him.

 

[The Purple Jesus]

Til this stage Sandilands has to be a certainty. has been a star in a team not going over well. Has improved heaps and by seasons end I reckon he will be definetly first ruck. I hate the Eagles but Coxy would have to be the 2nd ruck. Forget the carp in the media he has still had a very good season

 

[Tom12]

A star? How?

 

[Glitch]

Most will still be either surprised or disagree with me, however for mine the best tagger I have seen in the league this year is Daniel Jackson. He has been injected with a secret ingredient this year called 'footballer'. (And he was not very good up until this year.)

He is now a tough, uncompromising footballer with a huge engine, good skills and smart play - getting a plenty of it and shutting down the opp best player almost every week. Watch when he gets tackled, he does the robert harvey ball up above the head and invariably gets it to a teamate in decent position.

So for mine, he would add to that AA team.

 

[AG]

I think it's a toss up between A.Selwood and Jackson. Ling and C.Jones just behind. But we don't need a tagger in the AA team. There have been better players than them.

Watson anyone?

[BACCS]

I think you got this year mixed up with 2003 or something...
Lockyer has been playing predominantly as a lead up forward...
I havent seen him on the HBF for any great length of time

Must be playing there more often than not when I tune into Pies games, but I do see him play foward, just not as often as your implying, my apologies.

No love for Scarlett in the last 2 teams posted.

 

[The_Eagles]

Enright Scarlett Drummond
Goddard Bock Tarrant
Dal Santo Ablett Selwood
Chapman Riewoldt Davis
Rioli Fevola Johnson

Sandilands Judd Hayes

Jolly, Montagna, Brown, Boyd

 

[always right]

From a dogs perspective:

• No to Gia
• No to Gilbee
• No to Aker
• maybe for Higgins
• Good chance for Boyd

 

[AG]

I think Aker has a chance. What do you think about Lake and Morris?

 

[always right]

I think Aker has a chance. What do you think about Lake and Morris?

Lake hasn't been consistent enough. Morris has been good but not as good as last year. Aker has had a couple of quiet ones despite being very good. Boyd is the standout but is up against a million midfielders with higher profiles. He deserves to be in though.

 

[Warsaw]

From the blues, other than Judd and Fev, Murph has to be a chance. Kicking goals averaging 25 touches, 4.5 tackles a game. Has had a few games where he has just dominated and the rest you'd find him being in our best.

 

[GrandBlue]

I don't have Scarlett in my team because he hasn't been as good as he was last year. See Round 2 Tigers Cats game. I think Tarrant is a big chance actually, as a backman, he's been sensational, he deserves one for effort.

Boyd has been the Doggies best midfielder for the season... and we're 3rd on the ladder, so yes, I think he deserves to be in the AA team for sure now that he's a proven goalkicking midfielder.

 

[thegeneral15]

didnt have him in my earlier team but i would have to update it, because jobe watson is a certainty if the team was selected tomorrow

No one is a certainty accept Scarlett, Ablett, Judd, S.Johnson and Riewoldt.

[pacemaker]

I think most of you are rewarding skill rather that the performance shown in the half way mark thus far. Example Mark LeCras is about 77kg with weight and height of 175cm. he is currently 8th on the list and has a good convertion rate

[GrandBlue]

Going by this year's performance, Chris Tarrant, Presti and Fisher deserve to be in more than Scarlett. See round 2 Tigers vs Cats.
