All Australian 2015 - no Demons in squad

Featured Replies

 

AA has been a joke for years.

One day at a time Gorg.

Hardly a surprise.

We had one candidate IMO and he had a relatively poor second half.

That is our problem we have no good players who produce 90% of the time.

 

Shaun Burgoyne for a start... How he is in the squad I do not know. Armitage & Vince the most unlucky

Jack Steven also unlucky I reckon.

Vince not making the squad is a joke, but Armitage not even making the squad? lol

I should stop being surprised at the AA selections. Will just have to wait until we're playing finals to have a Demon selected, and even then it will be touch and go.


Shaw having a career best season, Laird also been terrific

The only one I'm really troubled by is Burgoyne. He is mysteriously and seriously overrated in 'official' and media circles, has been for years.

But I can't say I'm very concerned. It's all a bit of a grab bag. One of those things where it is nice to get it but not upsetting to miss.

Next year we'll have Hogan, Viney, McDonald, Gawn and Salem all under consideration. That's one in every area of the field.

I promise!

 

AA has always been a joke and always will be. The selectors can't have possibly seen enough games and kept the decision making process in perspective ie can you imagine The Hogester will the silver service mids from some of the top teams? Anyway, I still love my weekends with Bernie.

Burgoyne should be no where near that squad. It is laughable that he is even spoken of as as AA this year. He has looked completely shot at stages this year.

Rory Laird???? Who the hell is that? Swan, Ibbo also lame selections.

Hes the Adelaide small defender who has had an exceptional year.

How about Rioli versus Garlett, both play as small forwards with occasional runs through the midfield. One has kicked 35 goals in a side that has more inside 50's than anyone and has smashed most sides and has registered the most points kicked in the comp, the other has kicked 40 goals for a side with the second least inside 50's, that has been regularly beaten and occasionally smashed and kicked the second or third least in the comp. one is drooled over every week, sometimes for an eight possession game, the other politely complimented for his good work and the odd mercurial goal. Does Rioli get the nod due to his goal assist activities which are amazing but it is easier when the ball is coming in so often, so fast and into a usually disorganised defence.

What is their criteria for selection, is it just the stats that accompany each player in the list of 40?

An outrage that Bernie Vince didn't make 'ALL AUSTRALIAN'.

His numbers compare very well to many who made it.

Disgrace!

Not sure I'm that surprised or outraged TBH as we receive little recognition on anything anymore Picket but I was interested to see Pendles in there. Didnt think he had the greatest year but could be wrong as I dont watch Pies much outside of our matches. Mr. Vince beat him on both occasions.

Stiff, but wasn't making the 22 so who cares about the 40.

Every year they leave a bunch of good players out of the 40 for guys with bigger reputations. I'll save my outrage for when the team gets named.

Patrick Cripps also I would have thought.

Not sure if serious.


So Bernie was 11th in the coaches votes. All 10 players above him got AA noms.

Gray, Martin, Nic Nat, Rance, Deledio, Josh J Kennedy finished below him and also got noms.

Bernie's not the only one ...

2015 Stats

Nic Naitanui, West Coast 20 games in 2015. 116 kicks, 30 marks, 125 handballs, averaging 5.8 kicks, 1.5 marks, 6.3 handballs. 17 Goals, 12 Behinds. 676 Hit Outs (fourth in the AFL), averaging 33.8 per game. 79 Clearances, 53 Inside 50m, 14 Rebound 50m. 75 Tackles.

Stefan Martin, Brisbane 20 games in 2015. 238 kicks, 128 marks, 195 handballs, averaging 11.9 kicks, 6.4 marks, 9.8 handballs. 5 Goals, 9 Behinds. 650 Hit Outs (seventh in the AFL), averaging 32.5 per game. 96 Clearances, 69 Inside 50m, 28 Rebound 50m. 40 Tackles.

Outrage, shock, horror! Not really. Wouldn't be a starting best 22 midfielder so who cares!

 

Vince should have made the squad, Martin too. Niknat gets in on the fact the selectors masturbate over him like the commentators do, I swear to a diety that every time he is involved in the game there is a circle jerk going on in the commentators box.

I'm happy none of ours made it into the AA team.

they can focus on the next year ,forget the Irish game ,and avoid tags based on their status.

The worst year we ever had was when the press knew everything happening at the club.

The best in recent times was '87 when they had no idea who Lyon,Rigoni,Leoncelli,Newport etc were.

Not much press coming out of the MFC in Northeys days.

Lets fly under the radar and into September.

    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

    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.
