Rules for All Australian Selection

[RedVest4]

Can someone just clarify... Do you have to be Australian to be picked in the All Australian team?

It would make a whole lot of sense if this was actually the rule, it would explain why Zach Tuohy was not selected in the 40 man squad.

Otherwise, I can't think of any other reason why he hasent been included.

Was wondering same thing myself.

 

[Checkered]

Maybe Selwood and his below par 17 game season took his spot?

I mean if you want to whinge about how X player was robbed there's like 10 other threads you can do it in

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Jim Stynes was twice AA

Selwood very lucky I agree, but he is Australian so maybe they used that when deciding between him and Tuohy.

AA or AI?

You can't have silent letters in your last name. It confuses Ling.

 

[HairyO]

No other logical reason for having Selwood in.

If they picked other nationalities, why didn't Mason Cox get in?

Jim Stynes was AA.

Zach is just underrated. Was at Carlton too.

 

[Occidental]

Dual citizenship and you're out.

Would be funny if Touhy was picked for AA then played for Ireland in the IR series against the AA team.

Pretty sure Stynes did

1. Don't finish equal top of the ladder and be Geelong.
2. Don't have the best season for metres gained as a half back flanker and play for Geelong.
3. Don't be called Mitch Duncan and play for Geelong.
4. Be a KPF or midfielder - **** pockets, flanks and wings - they never did anything anyway.
5. Be a spud forward or honest midfielder from Adelaide.
6. Be an overrated AFL captain's pick called Bontempelli.

Can Ireland just start playing Aussie Rules already? That way we can actually see our AA team play rather than be picked for an imaginary scenario where the team actually needs to be picked.

Seriously though, it would be sick to see the AA team actually play in a game, wouldnt it?

Could change IR to one game of gaelic then one game of aussie rules.

this is an important issue with the dual citizenship debate. We need an All Australian representing this side, not Part Australian.

 

[Scotland]

Trent Croad was AA, so was Wayne Schwass. Both Kiwis.

 

[PhatBoy]

When trying to take the piss out of someone and/or the team they support, endeavour to not do it via arguments the person themselves agree with.

There wouldn't be a single cats fan who thinks Selwood should be there.

1. Don't finish equal top of the ladder and be Geelong.
2. Don't have the best season for metres gained as a half back flanker and play for Geelong.

5. Be a spud forward or honest midfielder from Adelaide.
6. Be an overrated AFL captain's pick called Bontempelli.

Zach is underrated but Docherty led the league for metres gained regardless of position and played as a HBF.

edit I agree Duncan deserved to be in over Selwood

 

[kickazz]

Stynes played for Australia against Ireland too.

Tuohy unlucky to miss - I'm not sure the AA selectors have much idea. Selwood has been good but I think has made it in on name.

There's no such thing as equal top. Percentage% counts, just ask Melbourne.
