No Jetta in the 40, which I agree with.

He had quiet patches in the season.

Maxy and Clarry the only Dees included in the squad of 40. Congratulations boys

 

And both will be in the 22.

Nev stiff to miss the 40 but a year where there were a number of good small and mid defenders that had great seasons.


Sounds about right TBH. Nev a little stiff to miss.

Full seasons to Tmac and Brayshaw and I reckon they may have got the nod 

 

Jetta is again robbed. So many players get in based on reputation alone. Jetta absolutely deserved to make the squad at least. 

Well done to Clarry, what a star. Also if Gawn is not the starting ruck, it is an abomination. Grundy gets more fluffy disposals, but as a ruckman your primary job is to service your mids. Gawn has more hitouts to advantage than every club in the competition combined, not to mention the first ever ruckman to get to 1000 hitouts in a H&A season.

 

Yeah, Nev was stiff to miss out. I know Gus hasn't played a whole year, but I thought he'd played enough of it (all sublime) to be included anyway. Next year for sure!

 

Fair selections and both should be easy locks for the 22.

Obviously, full seasons to Brayshaw, Tmac wouldve seen them considered. Harmes' second half of the year has also been AA quality.

Brayshaw stiff not to make the Top 40.

If there were another 5 games left of the H&A season then he might have made the squad.  The same could be said of James Harmes, Nev Jetta and Tom McDonald.  All have had terrific seasons but I understand their omission as well.

Yes some lads unfortunate to not make the squad.

They'll just have to console themselves by being in the Premiership team ;)

Jetta had to make the squad of 40

Why ?

If I was picking 40 I wouldn't include him.

He was better last year.

Just looking at other players Harris Andrews is an interesting one, didn't realise he had such a solid season.

Will be interesting of Gaff makes the 22, he deserves to be there IMO.

I suppose they didn't pick any real shut down small defenders in the squad anyway, so I don't feel like he missed out to a similar player. They just rate the attacking defenders now it seems.

tmac should have made squad of 40. still played 17 games and his goal average was about the same as riewoldts

ended up with 48 goals and tons of score assists and involvements

demons weren't the highest point scoring club in the comp for nothing and deserved a fwd in the squad

Could have made a case for TMac given Gunston made the squad.

 

Having confirmed Demon haters  Ling, KB and Frawley among the selectors didn't help Gus, Nev or TMac.  Maxy and Clarry were always getting a guernsey though. As Jaded said, it Max doesn't get the No 1 ruck selection it an abomination. Not only that, it will make the entire selection process a joke.

How is Mark Blicavs in the squad, he is terrible 

He's had a really good season as a KPD...well deserved.

Should probably make the AA 22...

Take off the red & blue glasses '11'.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
