Opinion Your mid-season 2013 All Australian team

[Kong]

We're now at the halfway point of our season, so it could be fun to do this.

I'll add the disclaimer to mine that I on average only watch 3 games a week: Essendon, Carlton and a Friday or Saturday night game.

Surprised to see you have Cameron in your team Kong.. I thought that was my roughie when I did this exercise in another forum. I think if Cameron was in a half decent side more people would notice how good he looks. I was blown away watching him live and his stats back up how good he is.

I really love the way Chad Wingard goes about it. Am I looking at him through rose coloured glasses in thinking he is close to getting a spot? Either way, he's a ripper and I'd love to get him in the red and black (won't happen, but it'd be nice).

Yet you've got Corey Enright and Dustin Martin in there, and to a lesser extent Pendlebury.

 

[NAB777]

Interesting that Crawf has Hird as coach of the year so far.

He's had his issues with the hag, so I thought it might have been a dig at her.

[daffo]

The AFL website just did theirs. Carlisle, Watson and Hibberd all made their team.

What I found most difficult this year was the ruck, by far.

Not a single ruckman stood out to me.

I've seen Minson mentioned a fair bit, but in the two Dogs games I've seen he was "meh", so I overlooked him.

Likewise Goldstein, he's been quite underwhelming in the games I've watch North in.

Bellchambers would've had it locked up based on his early season form, but then he fell away pretty badly.

Jacobs, Maric, Mumford and Cox have all been pretty average this year, too.

Which left me at McEvoy, despite his season not being that outstanding.
