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'.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
