Jonas is unexpected but certainly deserves it

 

[NEGAN]

Awesome.

 

[Peck]

Very surprised to see Jonas make it, but he has had an amazing year and definitely deserves it!

 

[Macca19]

So happy Jonas has been given recognition for his year

 

[Kickpuncher]

Ryder and Gray should make the final team.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol taylor walker? Honestly.

 

[Powerstufff]

Noice. But not the final cut.

 

[Steve Dore]

Tim Yonas will be please that they got his name correct.

 

[Jonts]

Wingard stiff, Jonas a nice surprise has absolutely towered up some of the biggest names

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Fair call by the selectors on all of our 3 players and the rest of our team. Ebo's form to about Rd 11 would have probably had him in the squad, but he dropped away mid season and there are so many mid fielders to choose from.

Putting Jonas in the squad means the selectors aren't as dopey as I thought, or that Tredders has more persuasion than I give him credit for, and maybe he will get SPP up for the RS.

 

[Power Raid]

Jonas is probably our most deserving

Good call

Lol taylor walker? Honestly.

Deserves to be in the squad. Too far behind the other forwards though

inb4 AA captain.

 

[Willsy10]

is it incredibly one eyed of me to say that i'd have Dixon in the squad ahead of Walker

 

[bomberclifford]

Lol taylor walker? Honestly.

Thought the same thing. No issue with any of the others, they've had great years, but Walker had a 6 game flat patch in the middle of the season that even Crows fans were crying about.

Tex is not a bad player but even his best games are really only good. Maybe I'm too biased but I don't think he's had one game this year where he's dominated. I'm sure a lurker will correct me if I'm wrong though.

Also...

A friend that I sit with at AO told me on Sat night that her 10yo son has named him, "Sex Talker".

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Jonas - not from brains obviously as he the dumbest footballer going around.

 

[Power Girl]

Never in doubt TJ. You are a champion

 

[Willsy10]

I've really rated Dixon's year, not just the last few weeks, if he continues this current form in finals he'll be a big chance to win our B & F. I reckon this years B & F will be very tight between all of the following: Dixon, Ryder, Gray, Ebert, Wines, & Jonas.

 

[Young Gun #6]

Would've had Clurey in over Jonas but both have been fantastic.

 

[bomberclifford]

Jonas - not from brains obviously as he the dumbest footballer going around.

lol. Let it go man.

 

[Powerstufff]

..., Jonas a nice surprise has absolutely towelled up some of the biggest names

FTFY

Yeah, would've been Tredders pumping Jonas' tyres up that got him selected. Before Tredders was on the selection panel we never seemed to get these sort of marginal selections.

Congratulations to all three of our lads, well deserved
