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 !!!

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.

Gawn only.

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

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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
