I'm with you on this. It really isn't that important.

They update it start of the year and that should be good enough. No need to annoy MFC about updating everytime James Frawley eats a piece of cake.

It is important, to those who are interested enough. And also the misinformation is just another deceit of this modern world.

Competitiveness gone mad.

I'd like to see the AFL take charge of all Height & Weight data at the start of the season.

The clubs don't put accurate information in, as they try to keep it secret most times for a competative advantage.

Ruddy hope so-I think he could develop into a star.

Even having said all the above, I think Frawley is in certain AA form, but he may not get picked because he is seen as having time on his side and there are a lot of other decent options.

It wouldn't be right, but I can easily see it happening (I mean, come on, KB is on the selection committee!)

That's my feeling too. Why do you think I bumped this three weeks before the season is over?

I think that "time on his side" thing may apply, but only relegate him to the bench.

At the same time, its gonna be hard for them to ignore the stat I read on here the other day, that only two players have kicked 3 goals on him this season. I think Riewoldt and Fev. That's pretty compelling, considering he's actually known for his run and rebound from defence. I would like to see what stats the other defenders have in comparison. Lake's had an amazing year. Scarlett's missed a lot of footy. Grundy has dropped off and is behind Chip now. Who else?

Prediction of the decade.

Can it beat this? Well it's not quite a prediction but you get the idea. http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4475

Frawley......... the most excited I have being about a 1st year player in a long time. For the 10 minutes he played he looked composed, agile, smart and ridiculously fast for a 192cm player. His run down the wing was....... brilliant. If he can have the same attitude in the big stuff then he will eventually be a valuable contributor to our side. His conesting skills were surprisingly good.

Some interesting observations from some learned posters. Frawley was the standout for mine. Good to see I never viewed Warnock as a long term solution.

Nah, I think picking someone such as Chip to be All-Australian after not exactly showing that much signs is harder than saying a first-round pick will be a valuable contributor.

Time on his side WTF? Surely AA selection is for the current years performance. He may do a knee next year and never play again.If he doesn't get a guernsey this year they have no clue. Its like when they place a midfielder in another position because they can't fit him in the midfield.

MASSIVE THANKS TO DAPPA DAN.

After reading this thread i went down and put $50 on young Chip getting AA selection...

Looks money well spent at this stage.

Oh jeez. If the rumours are true, I might have cost you there.

Remember when Pavlich was named at FB because they couldn't squeeze him in anywhere else / were loathe to leave someone else out in favour of an "unworthy" actual FB?

The award is judged by KB, of all people.

Thats my point here AA positions should go to the best player in each position otherwise you might as well pick 22 midfielders and just allocate them positions!

Hey, I didn't say I liked it.

I do kind of get the thinking though. It's kind of like the Oscars. You have to lose one before you win one.

I reckon you're right. If some hack like Jake King has an AA year, he should get the gurnsey ahead of a guy who gets a lot of media. That's not always the way it is though.

Money well spent I say...

I dont think there have been 6 better defenders this year than Chip.

IMO all the AA judges have to look at 1. Chip running down Jetta against Sydney 2. Chip playing on Fev, Brown, Riewolt....

That versatility says he can play KP or off a flank... In saying that they do like to have a couple more mid fielders off the flanks...

Chip is the new Glen Jakovich, combined with Scarlett. He is easily amongst the 6 best defenders, in fact as good as anybody at the moment. Garland is shaping up very well too, now that he's settled back in. And that bloke Bruce that everyone was lambasting a while back - can't kick, can't handball - there's nobody better at stitching up a smaller defender.

I do have to laugh, however, whenever the 'All Australian' team is discussed. I just can't help it. It's the team that doesn't play anybody. And ALL the players are Australian, right! Amazing. It's got the same sort of cachet, if you like, as the 'Hall of Fame', another excruciating idea taken directly from the USA. Ah, those meaningful debates about whether Ablett Snr, Carey and such-like deserve to be in the 'Hall of Fame'!

He's got one thing neither Jakovich or Scarlett have had - the ability to play on little blokes like LeCras or Milne.

Sets him apart from a lot of defenders actually.

Nice work. What were the odds?

Well done Dappa. Glad your prediction came true and not mine. :)

In defense of E25, he said in this very thread...

Nope. Just chip.

It might sound stupid, but I'd seen enough in him midway through last year to be 100% confident he'd make AA this year or next.

Most of us backed Chip in.

Greeny was the contentious one.

Yeah. It's all in fun...

If he starts a thread on someone for AA next year and they make it (in a break-out year) then I'd be congratulating him...

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
