O'Keefe and Kirk....

[SM]

Nominated for All-Australian.

Poor Bolts for missing out.

Nominated for All-Australian.

Poor Bolts for missing out.

If you mean poor Jude, fair enough, he's had a ripper season but he's not really an AA type.
As for Craig, no, he hasn't been playing at AA standard for probably 6-8 weeks. I don't think you could say he's been unlucky.

Kirk has carried us all year, and certainly ROK was one of the league's best performaers at least to halfway. He went a bit cold but was up again before getting crook.

Still doubt if either will get into the final squad.

 

[NUMBER14]

All australian nominees

they are out,

kirky and ROK on the list,

anyone unlucky to miss?

personally i think darren jolly should be there had a very big influence on some of our games i thought he had a better season than cox and sandilands

 

[SM]

Craig's been our best defender though, so I dunno, thought he'd get it, there was a suggestion.

I already made a thread.

Jolly had a very very good year, but no, Sux is pure class and with broken bones in his foot.

Sandilands is dominant to the point other teams try and rove off of him.

Not in the same class imho

I think Kirk deserves it, ROK not so much. Bit bummed about Bolts though

 

[grimlock]

I don't think either will get in, midfield is the toughest position to get into, and Kirk has tailed off in recent weeks after an awesome middle part of the season.

Yes, this is probably how I expect it will turn out. We won't have an AA rep, and that's probably fair enough.

 

[carsoutback]

Tailing off or not, Kirk would seem to deserve it. But he hasn't made it when he's had even better seasons than this year. Just not the type of player they seem to like to include.

btw, why have they started releasing the final 40, prior to the final team? Hasn't always been that way has it?

 

[SM]

I'd think so, considering people seem to think O'Keefe's AA when he's never been - I'd assume he's made the Final 40 a lot though.

I think Kirk would be great, and should make captain, purely because of the fact that, in the role of captain, no other team has a captain like Kirk. Think through the other lists, is there realistically a player who draws inspiration, charisma and courage out of players much like Kirk does?

IMO he should be our one and only captain last year, and was dissapointed he wasn't this year. I don't like the idea of co-captains. Vice-captains, sure, but Kirk deserves to be the full deal.

ROK was AA 2006

 

[SM]

Well the stats in the actual list on the AFL site say he wasn't.

The AFL site is balls.

As a Stat_Machine I'm surprised you didn't know that.

As a Sydney fan you should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[SM]

I was definite that he had been but then the stat said he hadn't. Stats don't lie, but they can be changed, as it has now.

My bad.

Hehehehe...you made your first mistake believing afl.com

 

[kira]

congrats, on both guys for getting nominated

unfortunately i doubt either one is going to get in the AA squad

c. bolton not getting in... stiff... his last few games hasn't been great, but his first half of the season was definite aa and b&f material

 

[wantfrieswitthat]

i think you guys are forgetting that one J. McVeigh will win our B n F this year and probably deserved AA more than any other swan

 

[SM]

^^ With that I agree, though I don't think he's been consistent enough.
