At this point what does Grundy have to ******* do?
Does he have to stop forwards kicking goals? Oh he does that.
Does he have to start taking more intercept marks? He is already one of the best in the comp for that.
Does he have to start getting more disposals and attack from the back line? Averages 17 disposals this year, and is one of our key organisers.
Does he have to have team success to get recognition? Oh.
Maybe he just needs a s**t tattoo.

Just a dumb comment by clearly a lightweight.
WTF no Clayton Oliver?!?!
This was a quote from an article posted on the AFL website this morning:
"Clayton Oliver: Only three teenagers have been All Australians, but the Demon - who turned 20 only last month - gave himself a chance with an impressive second season. Had no fewer than 24 possessions in any match, and added hefty clearance and tackle numbers. Players traditionally make the All Australian team after a second strong season, but Oliver should at least be part of the squad."
The selectors dun ****ed up big time.

Cripps played the year nearly two years older, but yes, similar stats. Both stiff.
I'm looking forward to Oliver playing more than 77% game time.
Shades of Mal Michael.
They already named 3 ruckmen in the squad
How on earth did Scully make it after an ordinary year ?
And it's not sour grapes, as I recognise he's exactly the type of player we're missing, but seriously, he had a good start to the year and a poor second half of the season.

Bont shouldn't have made the squad. Had a mediocre year for someone who is hyped as much as he is. Come at me.
Garlett in is a joke.
Seb Ross over Oliver ? No. Oliver beats him in every meaningful measure.

Mitch Duncan should be in. So too Cotchin.
Agree that Duncan was a glaring omission too. Whoever selected the squad did a woeful job.
Try telling the commentators that.
I've yet to see a Bulldogs match this season where the commentary box didn't collectively jizz themselves whenever The Bont touched the sherrin.
Oliver should be in but Ross should not be the one making way. Had an excellent year compared to 3-4 other mids jn there

Not really.
Not the I'd pick him but I like the fact they are trying to pick an actual wingman rather than plonking another inside mid on the wing like some years.

Piggy Oilver and No beers for Duncan very unlucky not to make the 40.
Terlore very lucky I would have Adams over him.
How many goals did Robbie Gray kick? Would need to be at least 35-40 to get a forward spot.
JJK FF.
Franklin CHF.
Betts pocket.
Zorko flank.

Won't shock me if Toby Greene makes the team as jeez there aren't many forward options. Why do I have a bad feeling they are going to put Martin on the HFF!

Gray was primarily a forward this year (because of injury?), kicked 47 goals
Halorad
The GOAT
And Yet Mitch Duncan was left out despite getting far more ball on the outside and having a far better year than scully.

I'd have no issue with them picking both and not picking Treloar or Bontempelli.
Duncan is unlucky.

Yeah, very stiff. Lost position to a mouth breathing KPF. Players should be picked in position. Grundy > Rance IMO, but Richmond would have been stiff to drop that one too.
How did the unprecedented Oliver miss out on a squad selection?
Duncan should have been in ahead of Scully too.
Duncan should have been in ahead of Scully too.
Toby Greene deserves his nod. May have missed games, but when he plays he's the best small fwd in the comp in my opinion.
Not flash, but very good.
Mitch Duncan probably the stiffest player to miss out. Has been better than his captain and guys like Treloar and Ross.
Fantasia i would have had in the squad, but given he won't make the team ahead of Greene, Betts or Gray, it's not a huge thing. Was a good chance for the team for bit there.
Selwood well down on AA form this year. Bont too. Clearly there on name/hype.
Lever had a good patch, but nothing to say AA for me.
Scully is an odd one. Did his job but hardly an AA season.
Out: Selwood, Bont, Treloar, Ross, Lever, Scully, Jonas
In: Duncan, Fantasia, Oliver, Grundy (Syd), Rampe, Ebert, Macre
My last team i did:
Rance - Grundy - Laird
Docherty - Hurley - Hibberd
Merrett - Kennedy - Kelly
Martin - Daniher - Franklin
Greene - Kennedy - Gray
Ryder - Dangerfield - Sloane
Mitchell - Duncan - Zorko - Crouch
Changes to:
Howe - Rance - Laird
Docherty - Hurley - Hibberd
Merrett - Kennedy - Kelly
Martin - Daniher - Franklin
Greene - Kennedy - Gray
Ryder - Dangerfield - Sloane
Mitchell - Lynch - Zorko - Crouch
Fully expect Bont & Selwood to get named.
