2009 All Australian Team

Featured Replies

 

a slightly less impressive second half of the season i thought would cost him a spot in the 22 but gee i thought he would make the shortlist!

 

No demon deserved to be an AA this year

Hardly a surprise, or a joke, unfortunately.


So you think it's a travesty that the best player in a team that won only 4 games isn't in the AA team?

:huh:

 

It is a flat out disgrace, but I expected no less from those clowns. Hopefully one day our club commands the respect where our players aren't treated like dog excrement when it comes to these awards. That will likely only come from winning consistently. In the meantime, this has once again saved me valuable life hours not wasted watching a bland AA awards night on TV.

Winning a few games would help . . .

Seriously though, what player apart from Matthew Pavlich has a hope in hell of being All Australian if their team is bottom 4?

What....no Jordan McMahon!?!?!?

Hands down the most influential player in the afl this season!

It is a joke... He hasn't racked up as many posessions as those players listed in the midfield, but he has more kicks than all of them (Dayne Swan has more, but is listed as a forward for some unknown reason?)... Given how well he kicks, and how easy it is to rack up large handball stats these days, he should've been included...

Started the season well and thought he would of been up there, but no suprise really.

We never really seem to get much of a run even when we were a decent team, I still havent forgiven them for putting Spider in a pocket and leaving Robbo out in 2004 I think it was when he had a stellar season.

It's harder to get a handball from the bottom of the pack than a kick you get handed to you because you stood next to a player who marked the ball.


Have to second that motion.

I agree Davey probably isn't up to making the 22, would think he would qualify for the squad however...

Excellent. We'll rename it the 'All-Australian Team for 3/4 of the League' as of next season. It's simply lazy. Do they actually watch the games, or go by generalised theories like the one you (hopefully sarcastically) spouted?

Agreed.

Indeed. Davey would have got quite alot of those kicks in this case.

I was thinking the same thing.

If davey was in a top 8 team, he would of been one of the 1st picked i reckon...

He runs his ass off to get those 'easy' kicks people are posting about, then delivers with that 'left-foot precision' you see in some lefties in the league..

Davey has been the difference between a 5 gls loss and a 50 gls loss..(i exaggerate) more than a few times this year and stepped up to be one of the best outside mids in the game.. and to not even be considered?

F**k 'em! <_<

did you really think he was good enough to be picked before any of the elite midfielder from top4 sides? theres like 12 off the top of my head i would pick before him...

did people really think we whould get any AA even when the dees make grand finals we cant get many AA, i will tell you you why the dees dont get any AA its one man G.healy he is still bitter about 1987 when the dess knock the swans out in that year by over 70 points, he reason for leaving the dees was to play finals football, but which team played in GF in 1988

 

Couldn't possibly have an AA player from a team that won four games.

Thank goodness they don't watch our games.

Otherwise our "megatank" would have even got more bad press and traction from these very well respected xplayers.

In any case Davey is unlucky not to be in the squad but in my opinion is not worthy of a AA gurnsey.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
