seb ross i think apart from round 1 has been consistently excellent. if he wasn't such an unsexy selection i think he'd be the first midfielder taken if the team was made now.Its an interesting season for All Australian. I honestly don't reckon there's a single player that hasn't put in a few ordinary performances so far this year - not necessarily bad but certainly not AA level or close.
A good example is Sloane - the guy was absolutely dominating and he was (and may yet still be) heading for a brownlow and then suddenly he plays 2 very ordinary games where he gets tagged and doesn't handle it well.
This suggests to me that it will likely be the guys that really put it together after the bye that will get the honours. There's always a bit of recency bias and I think that will exemplified by the inconsistent performances this year. Even guys that rarely ever put in a bad game like Dangerfield, Selwood and Pendlebury have put in a few ordinary ones.
