R7 AA team

[matt decat]

Mark Robinson has done an AA team as of round 7. I tend to agree with his selection method. What are everyones thoughts of this?

B: Heath Shaw, Michael Jamison, Matthew Scarlett
HB: Heath Scotland, Dustin Fletcher, Brett Deledio
C: Scott Pendlebury, Jobe Watson, Andrew Embley
HF: Dustin Martin, Buddy Franklin, Stewart Crameri
F: Jeff Garlett, Jack Riewoldt, Adam Goodes
Ruck: Aaron Sandilands, Chris Judd, Dane Swan
Inter: Dean Cox, David Mundy, Sam Mitchell, Brent Moloney

Jeff Garlett has been the best small forward this season, and his tackling pressure is huge, and he kept out Nahas, Varcoe and Ballantyne.

Carlton's Michael Jamison, unlike Dustin Fletcher and Matthew Scarlett, plays on the best big forward every week and might be the most improved player in the league. He deserves his spot, as does Fletcher and Scarlett.

Another Blue, Heath Scotland, gets the other back flank. Champion Data stats tell us Scotland has not had goal kicked on him as a defender this year, at the same time delivering six games of 22-plus possessions and plenty of run.
Of the defenders, those with the most goals kicked against them are Hawk Josh Gibson (16), Port's Alipate Carlisle (15), North's Scott Thompson (13) and North's Michael Firrito (12).

Also unlucky were Carlton's Marc Murphy, who is top five in the coaches award, Western Bulldog Matthew Boyd, Dale Thomas, Jude Bolton, Nathan Fyfe, Trent Cotchin, Matthew Priddis, Michael Rischitelli, and, of course, Gazza.

Crazy not having Murphy and Enright in there.

It's great to see Heath Scotland get some recognition. He has been a rock for us in defense this year (and for most of his career). He's a true unsung hero at the CFC.

Crazy not having Murphy and Enright in there.

Yup!

Deledio/Scotland over Enright?
Swan/Judd/Embley over Murphy?

Looks more like an AA team for rounds 5-7.

wow, jamison has only had 4 goals kicked on him by his direct opponent in 7 games, for someone who always takes the number 1 forward that is incredibly impressive

 

[blueblood25]

Jeff Garlett doesn't play for us anymore?

 

[Blueboys7]

wow, jamison has only had 4 goals kicked on him by his direct opponent in 7 games, for someone who always takes the number 1 forward that is incredibly impressive

He's only played 3 games.

 

[Tanks_Alot]

You forgot to bold Jeffy's name...

 

[Sublime]

Remember people, its just one persons opinion, doesn't make his selections right or wrong. Its a good discussion point though that's for sure. Every one of us who made one of these would differ with our selections.

Matthew Boyd is one i'd personally have in there for example.

 

[GordonBlue]

He's only played 3 games.

Correction... he's played 4

 

[elhadjihenry]

ah right forgot about that, still considering 2 of those were against the 2 highest scoring teams in the league, very impressive

 

[Blueboys7]

Correction... he's played 4

That he has, my mistake. Had it in my mind that he was suspended for 3 weeks like Judd last year.

Interesting to note that his average disposals per game has gone from about 9 in the last 3 years to 15 this year.

 

[NAUGHT5]

Judd gets the gig over Murphy?

His Sydney game was unbelievable but outside of that Murphy has been superior.

 

[Swade]

Yup!

Deledio/Scotland over Enright?
Swan/Judd/Embley over Murphy?

Looks more like an AA team for rounds 5-7.

while Deledio and Enright have had some outstanding games, scotland has been the most consistent of the three, his running back with the flight and taking saving marks in our defence has been severely underrated even by carlton supporters, very happy to see his name up there, well deserved and hope he can hold the spot for the rest of the yr.

also agreed Murphy has been the better performed player over the length of the season so far, i think the media parade about Judds last game meant he would look stupid if he didnt include him. Judd, like Enright and Deledio, while having moments of brilliance hasnt been as good consistently as Murphy.

Yeah i don't really agree with Robbo on a few things.

Firstly, Scotland has been magnificent. Same old solid, trustworthy Scotland. But i dont know if he's been damaging enough to warrant an AA spot IMHO. But good to see him getting the respect he deserves.

Secondly, how Boyd and Murphy is not in there, I'll never know. Murphy>>>>>>>>>>> Deledio so far.

Other than that i pretty much agree with the rest of the squad. How good is it to see Jamo being listed ahead of Scarlett in the FB position? Now, Jamo, make this be the case come the end of the season

 

[Alpha1]

Jammo finally getting the due credit, pretty happy he has shrugged off the injuries and has had a good pre season. Now showing exactly why we all love him.

 

[Buzz/Sticks/bryce]

I have a feeling that by Robbo's rd 14 AA team add: Yarran, Murphy. (out Scotland). We are a long way forward from 2 years ago, when Juddy and Fev were the only ones likely to be in contention.
