News Six Cats in All-Australian squad of 40

[Gunf]

Brown and Cameron WILL get the nod over Tom. Goals are what count.
Agree with the rest.
Kelly has dropped off.

4 goal assists to 24 which of Brown and Hawkins do you think has 4 and which has 24?
(btw that's full season stats lol)

 

[Sttew]

Everyone will overlook it, but I still think the AA captain should be captain of their team.

Yes, but how do you decide whether its Cripps, Hurne, Pendelbury or whoever, assuming they are in the AA team? I don't think it matters all that much; its not like the AA captain will ever toss a coin on behalf of the team

 

[Vdubs]

You clearly didn't watch the Brisbane game. He wasn't close to our best 6 and his direct opponent was a major reason they won the game. They weren't "game saving" ruck contests either, they were game losing ones.

It's not like the coach didn't bring Stanley in the following week to avoid a repeat.

Blicavs can play anywhere and does.
He excels at FB.
He deserves AA this year.
Stanley needs a rocket from time to time to get him up to speed.
Thank the selectors we have Blicavs to fill the gaps.

Do you think the selection panel will favour Tom over Brown on that basis though?

 

[Gunf]

They should but wouldn't surprise me if they don't or even chuck a mid in instead lol
4 assists for a full year is ******* pathetic i must say

Was going to point out the same thing. 13 free kicks to Hawkins compared to 44 for Ben Brown. Surely a mistake? That's a ridiculous discrepancy between two key forwards.

It's no wonder Tommy gets upset every now and then he don't even get 1 free kick per game

 

[Max Milburn]

Unless umpires pick the team, Hawk will get in before Floppy Ben.

 

[STPer18]

Yep and Brown is pretty much getting at least two shots on goal every match from the umps. That's actually incredible.

For comparison the only other Key forward to get anywhere near BB on free kicks is Lynch(Richmond) with 32

What.......no Guthrie????????

How about this to raise a few eyebrows - Geelongs nominations for the AFLPA MVP, remembering these are voted on by teammates:

Geelong:
Tim Kelly, Tom Hawkins, Mark Blicavs

If the theory that only the final 22, not the squad of 40, attend the event tonight - Stewart, Kelly and Hawkins are all in the final 22

Stewart/Danger/Hawkins should be in with Kelly a good possibility
Also Ablett in the forward line (they better not name a mid at HFF and Snub him and Walters e.g. Dusty/Danger in the forward line and leave Walters/Ablett out

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Congratulations to Ablett, Blicavs, Dangerfield, Hawkins, Kelly and Stewart who've just been named in the All-Australian squad of 40.

The final team will be named on Wednesday night.

Revealed: The All Australian squad for 2019

Who makes the squad, who misses out?

www.afl.com.au

I'd have Ablett, Danger, Hawkins and Stewart in.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Talia, Andrews, Blicavs and Rampe as key backs. Blitz is more than a chance

I reckon he's the least likely of the 6.

For me the only way he gets in is if the selectors buy into all the hype surrounding his transformation into a key backman. In reality, he's really not that good a defender imho.

Respectfully I disagree.
If we end up with just Stewart in the defence it’s a farce given how much better our back 6 has been than everyone else’s

Stewart's a gun, a proper defender who knows what he's doing down there. If the system struggles, he's still a gun.

 

[fpm84]

Looks like Gaz and Dusty both miss out

 

[Purrfect pussy]

Got some inside info? Surely gaz makes it

Just watching the Fox Footy coverage. Apparently only members of the final team are there.

Hawkins, Kelly, Stewart and Dangerfield are there. No sign of Ablett or Blicavs.

"We only has 3 players in the AA last year & had a much more dominant regular season Geelong had they always get looked after in the AA how many times did Selwood get in off reputation..."
