All-Australian 2020 - Eagles players

[suntagonal]

Gonna be strange seeing Rance named as AA fullback when he's been retired for 12 months.

They'll probably just name Balta instead...

 

[omgfridge]

Imagine its been posted elsewhere but for the MVP, among the eagles players we nominated

Naitanui, Ryan and Sheppard. Think that's about right for our best shots at AA too.

Nic would be lucky I thought.
Last year Grundy and Gawn were both in and thats rare. They were two of the best 5 players last year.

Ryan is a lock. Gov might go close, he always does. Shep deserves it for sure.

What does your first sentence mean?
Nic is far and away the best ruck this year.

 

[EaglesVille]

Does anyone know the coaches votes for the Saints game , or does it go into secrecy for the last rounds? Couldn't find them

 

[KO_KO]

Can’t believe I forgot Nic Nat lol.

Yes but dont be surprised if he is on the interchange or only makes the squad

 

[eaglespremiers]

Not a chance. Nic and Tom Hawkins will be the first selected.
Would also love Ryan to make it now.
Not sure about any others from West Coast.

We could well end up with none.

NicNat should be 1st ruck, but there's always strange selections so could miss out.
Shep should be there but for some reason just doesn't get noticed. In reality should be in line for his 2nd or 3rd AA.
Ryan has been one of the best small forwards (the best over the past month) but will probably lose out to Cameron and Papley and some random Richmond guy.

Nic
Ryan
Shep

In the 40
Gaff
Kennedy

This looks about right.

Nic 100%
Shep/Ryan - 75%
Kennedy - 40%
Gaff - 10%

NN and Shep locks, Ryan pretty close too now.

JK will probably get in the squad but no chance the 22 imo. Dixon and Hawkins will be the two KPFs

Gaff has had his best year imo, been huge the last couple of weeks playing more inside with no one left in the middle. However I reckon that'll be what probably costs him a spot on the wing in the 22.
"He didn't really play true wing enough"

They showed his games with 100% game time last night. Should get noticed by the selectors & be part of his case.

 

[DickDunn]

Gaff is a very good chance imo. Has had a great year - plays inside and outside, kicks goals, well known in Victoria. I’d like to see his consistency recognised in a year when our midfield has lacked it

 

[The wily weagle]

Ryan did his All Australian credentials absolutely no harm last night.

He is such a well rounded player now; he can beat you in the air or on the ground. His field kicking and decision making are excellent and he can burn the opposition in front of goal if he gets a chance.

Absolute gun

They keep last two rounds secret.

 

[Chris_6678]

Id be annoyed if Gov got it and Shep missed. Gov has missed to much football and been injured during a few games.

Shep , Ryan and Nic Nat will all get in but Gaff is the smokey. He has been in sublime form and if they chose a winger he HAS to get a gig.

There is zero chance of Gov somehow making it - missed far too many games. Sheppard has been perpetually underrated but I think this year could be his year, however competition is fierce.

Shep has been talked up a fair bit on the east coast and have been in the AA squad.

To clarify, I think Shep should easily make the 40 but a spot in the 22 is nowhere near a lock.

 

[Chris_6678]

When is the squad getting announced?

Yeah I'm not sure Gov will even make the squad

The All-Australian small forward race is on. This Eagle might be ‘flyin’ to the top

Gov won't make it. Has been good when playing but has missed too much football. Shep is the perpetual invisible man when it comes to selection. Another classic 'would be a star if he played for Collingwood or Richmond' type. Might make the 40. Should make the 22 but I'm not hopeful based on history.

Ryan is up against Cameron, Butler, Wingard, Greene and Papley to name a few. Historically selectors have sometimes named midfield overflow guys as small forwards as well. As in, 'We want to select 15 mids but can't, so we'll take one less ruck and only one small forward and name Dusty as a small half forward, Fyfe in the pocket and Bont as a ruck'.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Naitanui, Shep, Ryan and Gaff in the 40.

Gawn the only other ruckman (gday to Todd Loldstein), so Nic is as good as locked.

Ryan should make the 22, as should Shep. Hard to see Gaff getting in but in the 40 is about right.

 

[kane249]

Not surprised Kennedy missed out, thought he was very hot and cold in games this year.
