Rioli and Naitanui both in the AA side really grinds my gears. Both players, Naitanui especially, do some flashy exciting things but their output is nothing overly special. It's good, they are good players but not AAs. Betts and Milne kick far more goals than Rioli. Naitanui is a flashy player who can jump high and does something that hardly any other ruckman does and small players often do like run. Hates and can't handle physical pressure, just have a look the other night against Collingwood, he did nothing, hardly the sign of the AA ruckman!
The forward/part time ruck has become one of the most imortant roles in the game. They haven't selected a decent one. Jarryd Roughead was the best forward/ruck of 2012 and should have been named forward pocket and Cox who again is the best ruckman in the league, should have been named number 1 ruckman.
Garry Ablett Jr should have been named on a HFF, Rioli not in the team and Sam Mitchell names on the ball.
The AA team is a joke.
