Who do you think deserve a spot in the AA for 2016.  

I think there are 2 standouts from the Dee's - Gawn & Viney

Jonesy deserves a spot after years of toil, but suspect there will not enough spots for the champ.  I will be outraged if Scully gets a spot ahead of Viney or Jones.

my 2 bobs worth.

Gawn ought  to be a shoe in.Viney, a strong chance. Last time we ha 2 in it was when Jamar was putting the ball down  Moloney's throat and Rivers was pretty much dominating the full back line. Vince is the other logical choice but he's up against some tough opposition for one of those spots.

Viney and Jetta should at least be in the squad.

Gawn should be picked, even if as second ruck. Someone released a halfway AA team which left out gawn and included Nic Nat purely due to his mobility. After the weekend, I think arguments about Gawn's mobility have been put to bed

I think people tend to confuse mobility in an AFL context with perceptions of agility.

Weren't our last 3 squad members (in the same year) Jamar, Green and Frawley. with the latter two making the team?

My mistake. It was Frawley and Jamar in 2010 and both made the team. ..................and both were playing in the same match last weekend.

Go figure !!!

Jones probably isn't AA this season. Viney probably gets a look. If Gawn doesn't get AA then I will probably have a John McEnroe dummy spit over it.

Gawny will be AA ruckman, Goldy has dropped off and looks sore.  Nic Nac and Tippett are both our long term.

Gawn definitely in the squad and if things continue I think he'll be in the team, I reckon Viney and Jetta will get in the squad but not in the final team.

[EDIT] Check that, I think Viney will get into the squad but Jetta won't.

Yep agree. Just Gawn.

IMO, to make All Australian you pretty much have to play A grade footy every single week. Viney has had a few down days such as the Essendon, St Kilda and Port losses. Even Gawn has had a couple of average ones, but his best games have been scintillating and too hard to be ignored.

I recckon vince has to be at least partvof the conversation. Normally aa players need a couple of season playing top shelf footy. He was terrific in 2014. Even better last season and has been one of our best each game this season

Agreed. At this stage he's the standout. They don't seem to like MFC players, which is probably justified given where we've come from.

I look at more than stats

Viney is still to Raw to be classed as an AA

Max has again made the Team of the Week  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-06-21/team-of-the-week-round-13

He must surely be the favourite to be AA ruckman now

Forget All Australian, the beard is still building, 8 tackles and 6 clearances in the pizzing rain at 208cm!?! He is getting better as the year progresses, get your hard earned on the nose for a CHARLIE before his odds shorten

Gawn will definitely make it.

Viney would need a spectacular second-half of the year with at least 4-5 BOGs to get close.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
