When you look at some of the people on the AA selection panel it wouldn't surprise me if Cyril gets in over Wingard. Hopefully Tredrea can get him over the line.

The All Australian selection panel is Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Mark Evans, Danny Frawley, Glen Jakovich, Cameron Ling, Matthew Richardson and Warren Tredrea
With Ling in there, Charlie Cameron is a certainty over both Rioli AND Wingard......

Do you mean the 18yo kid in his first season who had played about 5 games and was good-naturedly hanging shit on Williams for making an utter tool of himself and copping heaps of shit from Clarkson and the team leadership after the game?

I remember that.
Yeah, you're right. Surprising how a bit of time can colour your memories.
I was wrong, he's alright.

Hahaaha has anyone else seen how they unveiled #malcoms statue? Holy shit. What elitist bullshit that was. A marquee, closed off, a big podium for #malcom to speak from, TVs.

Not even on game day!

Adelaide city councilors in attendance of course.
I reckon they had all that for Russell's unveiling last week. Was outside the East Gate.

Roger James has retired from football completely after spending the last 6 years at barossa districts as playing coach - winning multiple premierships.

Currently owns an earthmoving business, I asked if he was retring so he could come consult with port on skills. Needless to say, I'm not confident. :(

Some of my favourite extracts from Graham Cornes' assessment of women's football:

Women playing top-level AFL just doesn’t look right, says Graham Cornes

“WHAT about their boobs?” It seemed a reasonable question from my wife who is not always reasonable when we are discussing sport.

After all, some chest marks can really hurt.
Impressively, more people watched the game than those who tuned in to watch Adelaide thrash a dismal Essendon. The national audience peaked at 501,000, which would cause any television executive to sit up and take notice.
There was no doubt about it. They were good — for girls.
They had the skills, the balance the fitness, the aggression and the competitive edge that defines good sportspeople but there was something amiss. It just didn’t look right! Like women boxers or mixed martial arts combatants there was a discord to the image and the action.
Perhaps it was the outfits. They wore boys’ footy jumpers and shorts. Not particularly flattering.

You could never say that about the Diamonds, our netballers who had just claimed the world championship.
