When did the All Australian team become almost exclusively for players from the good teams? 18/22 players from the top 7 teams. It's weighted too far towards good players in good teams rather than just good players these days.

Except for Cripps. Who can queef out a dozen touches against Essendon and 18 & 1 against the Suns and no-one cares.

Boak not making it is so wrong.

No all Australian selections though.

LOL Tiser that Crows and Power 'snubbed' that there are no all australians.

Both teams are mid table with average lists. No stars. No elite.

 

[Powerstufff]

On Sportsday SA, Jon Ralph saying every Crows staffer, including Puke, has a payout clause in their contract stating that the club does not have to pay them out fully if sacked ....

Surely not expressed that way, or there's no point in having a contract. Perhaps something like will be paid out at 80% (or whatever) if terminated?

When your bogstandard coaching doesn’t just cost finals appearances and an entire premiership window, but your stars national accolades.

Boak had an elite year.

Boak should of been in the AA way ahead of tim kelly

 

[RossFC]

Boak didn't make it because Ken Hinkley screwed him over.

Not really. Made the expanded team which is fair. Might have overcome a few down games in a very uneven team but for the drop-off in accuracy kicking for goal from a few years ago. 30+ possessions is great but needed to produce more than 10G 13B.

They're not crazily different in stats if you look them up on Footywire. But Kelly had a few less possessions and a few more goals in a more successful team so just on that I'm sure any neutral judge would give it to him.

boak averaged more possies more contested possies more efficient more clearances all in less game time, on a losing side.

Boak averaged 5 more touches a game. That’s pretty significant.

Goals per game pretty similar- 0.8 to 0.5

Kelly was amazing early in the year but faded significantly, especially when other teams put effort into stopping him.

The Bont™ kicked 15.25

This is what happens when you put players on pedestals.

So it's been revealed Hugh Greenwood revealed may leave, he's gone from 'best contested player in the comp' to a plodder who didn't set the world on fire this year and doesn't deserve two years.

Amazing how the customers change their tune.

I really rate Greenwood. Could make the starting 22 at most clubs I reckon, Adelaide just have too many inside plodders.

He will get his mates at Today Tonight to follow key Crows figures in order to get to the bottom of this injustice
