Rolling All Australian Team 2020

[nineteen eighty]

Of course I'd sh*t the bed, I'm 36 and unfit. They'd have a day out on me.

DeGoey is much more dangerous than any of those 3 and Sheppard's done the job on him numerous times.

All the defenders need to do is push them out to the 50 because other than Martin, they're rubbish shots on goal.

No issue with the point your making. You don't get selected because teams would be wary of them. That's garbage.

What is also garbage though is you saying that De Goey is a more dangerous player than Martin. What?? Martin has him covered in all areas.

Around the ground yes. As a forward pocket? Not so much

Missed half the season and only kicked 3 less goals than Martin. As a pure forward, he is elite.

[Brunswick Trap King]

Sick of this victim complex, it's ridiculous. Next you're gonna tell me Mark LeCras was one of the greatest small forwards in the game and it's only because of the #VICBIAS that he isn't considered such.

Maybe if you Victorians watched footy you'd know that he wasn't a small forward. ******* viccos

 

[Niggles]

Around the ground yes. As a forward pocket? Not so much

As is Martin if he only played forward. But he's actually good enough to do both, so was always gunna be a lock after his ridiculous omission last year. Why on earth would the selectors or you even consider Da goey when he missed half a season. Almost sounds like a whinge just for the sake of one hey? A much loved and adored WC pastime yeah?

 

[Back One Out]

All Australian (Team Of The Last Ten Years):

Backs:
Tom Stewart- The modern day Corey Enright, does it all.
Alex Rance- Five time selected, four consecutive at full back.
Corey Enright- Mr reliable, does it all with little fuss.

Half Backs:
Shannon Hurn- Penetrating kick who reads the game like a book.
Jeremy McGovern- Marking royalty and skin fold icon.
Robert Murphy- creative genius who thrived at half back when shifted.

Midfielders:
Andrew Gaff- Gut running player who actually played on the wing.
Dustin Martin- Match winner as a mid or forward.
Dan Hannebery- Gut running player who actually played on the wing.

Half Forwards:
Patrick Dangerield- Selected eight times, five on the forward flank.
Lance Franklin- The ultimate mismatch, volume beast who can rack them up.
Cyril Rioli- Mr influence forget about the statistics.

Forwards:
Eddie Betts- Three consecutive selections, impossible to ignore.
Josh Kennedy (wc)- Dominant goal kicking machine also with three consecutive selections.
Tom Hawkins- Bear in the square who took awhile to "Hit his straps".

Followers:
Max Gawn- Four selections got big Max across the line, great tap work.
Nat Fyfe- Helicopter flying, road train driving football machine.
Gary Ablett Jnr- Four consecutive selections for the little master, auto pick.

Interchange:
1- Scott Pendlebury- Too good for the bench, carries himself extremely well.
2- Dane Swan- Mr rotations made to impact off the bench.
3- Joel Selwood- Plug and play inspiration.
4- Robbie Gray- Mr natural who can do it all, pre-knee was incredible, post-knee still good.

Don't blame me this team is picked by the selectors, i just did the typing.

You forgot Sam Mitchell

When did I say De Goey should be considered for AA in 2020?

You should learn to read before espousing such nonsense but clearly being literate is not a much loved and adored pastime for Richmond supporters.

You forgot Sam Mitchell

Sam Mitchell was selected in 2011 in the Centre in 2013 at Half Back and 2015 on the Bench so he did have the versatility and ability, but in the selectors mind did not own his position. Between you and me the selectors are a bunch of dicks and should all be sacked.

Exact point I was trying to make few pages ago. Without a doubt the best Half Back over that decade was Luke Hodge and one of the 3 best midfielders was Sam Mitchell. But because of there versatility and sacrifices they made for the team they never just played the one role that suited them consistently enough to to be in contention for multiple AA jackets in that role. Instead they just took there team to 4 grand finals and 6 final series in a row.

Hawthorn used players where they could control the set up and general flow of the game as it unfolded in front of them, on field coaches to give them a title and Luke Hodge loves a title. Just point at the trophy cabinet because the rest really does not matter.
