A few interesting decisions in there, Cotchin was probably a bit stiff to miss out. Fremantle have done particularly well this year and good on Jeremey Cameron - already an absolute gun.

Dam and the MFC had such a good year.

Surely our backs with all the stats they would have gotten during the season should have made the list!

WHERE'S CYRIL RIOLI??!? :rolleyes:

Luke Hodge is very lucky to make the squad. Great footballer, but when looking at his stats for this season he is lucky to make it. Less disposals, less clearances, less tackles than Nathan Jones, who receives much more tagging attention being the only decent midfielder in our team.

The rest of the selections barring a few smaller forward types seem pretty straight forward. A fair few midfielders that missed out could put forward a case, but at the end of the day they can only squeeze so many into the squad.

Kade Simpson very unlucky not to get in the 22 let alone the 40.

Liberatore not getting in the 40 shows the selection panel focus on media attention and TV show favourites, rather than actual output.

Hodge should not have got anywhere near the list.

Garland was great this year but a lot of other backmen were better than him.

I thought I was getting Hodgey for a bargain early in the supercoach, sadly, he never came good and spudded up my side all year.

Hodge looked past his best and shot this year, Buddy was also no where near AA standard., not even close.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
