No Deez in All Australian squad

Featured Replies

How Brent Moloney didn't get a spot on the extended team is beyond me.

Give me a spell..

Edited by Beetle

 

Matty Bate was robbed .

Think they could have named another 10-15 without us getting a nod. Moloney probably around 50-55.

Luke McPharlin....OH Please!

Go watch some non-demon games, McPharlin is all but a lock at FB.

Why would we have any nominations ?

The moment Moloney got a donut, he lost any chance of making any squad.

Would not be surprised if he was picked up for the international series though.

Captain Jack - I agree 'brownlow' bate was stiff.


Eddie Betts is no Stephen Milne, who is the only small forward who should be considered.

He does not have to be but Betts has still had a creditable season with 45 goals. he gets a reasonable nomination but I dont think he will make the final 22.

See if you can move beyond the banal black and white on issues and you might surprise yourself. Go on ...try it.

Thought Jamar deserved a mention, but otherwise they don't deserve any spots at all

no-one deserved a spot, Jamar hardly played and when he did he was very average, Martin was better. The only players who could have got close would have been Moloney or Trengove.

 

Based over the 22 games played this season I would suggest that a Melbourne player would struggle to get in the top 200 players for the league.

Our performance was way down compared to 2010. We might have got the same win/loss ratio, but the KPI indicators gave a different story.

Robert Murphy & Eddie Betts get a run....What a Joke!!!

Have to agree on Betts and I haven't followed Murphy's season but his stats across the year really do stack up.

No i will leave that to you Rhino. It is you who Loves picking through everybodies Responses...Like a scavenger on a tip site really.

Insert here humorous reference to Eddie Murphy and jokes.

I am sorry you think of yourself as a tip site WYL. How is your blog going if you dont like being challenged for your comments on a forum?

Sorry lads got my Murphys mixed up!

Btw I think this is right ... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/andrew-walker-floored-left-out-of-all-australian-squad/story-e6frf9jf-1226130938985

A glaring omission. Wonder why? Surely he had a better season than Betts.

M Murphy plays midfield and would be considered against other midfielders. Betts plays small forward. Its out of he and Milne for the role.

I would rather have them select Walker in the forward pocket than settle for someone like Betts or Milne purely because they are a few centimetres shorter.

He's been better than them surely.

Walker does not play the small forward role. He is more akin to Jeremy Howe mid size type. Played better than Howe.

For the record,

Andrew Walker, Jeremy Howe are 190 cm. Betts is 173cm and Milne is 178cm.

Different players, Different roles.

Robert Murphy has had a really good year and was the only bulldog boxing on when they were playing poorly.

The amazing part - Brendan Fevola 191cm...


nah, not enough games from him

Jamar played one or two good games all year.

My team, by the way:

FB: Birchall Scarlett Gibson

HB: Kelly Fisher Thomas

C: DalSanto Mitchell Judd

HF: Swan Cloke Murphy

FF: Milne Franklin Petrie

R: Cox Goodes Pendlebury

INT: Thompson Ablett Selwood Goldstein

RR it's my understanding that the initial squad of 40 isn't based on position but rather the best players of the year and is subsequently sorted into a 22 from there. If you're selecting Milne in your 40, there's zero need for a token second forward who doesn't show up against top opposition.

How you'd chose Betts over Walker this year is beyond me.

Thanks for the mention Billy, can always count on you.

 

I think its a mixture of both. Walker could have commanded a spot on his own.

If that was the case why is that they only seemed to select two ruckman each year? Surely Mumford deserves a guernsey as one of the key drivers of the Swans.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
