Ed Langdon should be included. Best player by far in his position this year

    mcluggage and macrae are inside mids, as is parish up forward - petracca you can get away with in that half forward position as he does at least rotate forward

    but, tbh, this is more in keeping with all-oztrayan teams in reality; players placed out of position for no other reason than 'they have had a really good season!'

    I actually meant Langdon.

    The Ls got me I think. Can't blame it on Auto Correct.

    Further to this All-Australian teams always ignore actual wingman. Langdon is a genuine old fashioned wingman and is so important to our team and is one of the reasons we're in the position we're in at the moment.

    I think that Robbo’s team is far superior.???

    What's the most AA selections we've ever had in one season?

    Six would be monumental result if they all keep up their current form.

    Langdon will be there by end of the year. Will definitely be in the team of 40.

    He will be in the extended 40 man squad you would think if he maintains this form.

    But not the best 22. Unfortunately the 'wing' role isn't of significance to the AA team as its just 'midfield' hence why no pure wingers ever really get in. Its all centre square midfielders.

    I'd go Langdon in for May. Andrews to full back, Macrae to the bench.

    Half forwards and wingmen get no love from a lot of selectors.

    I'm ok with it if they are naming Bont and Petracca at half forward and Duncan and McCluggage on the wings. But there needs to be a minimum game time played in the position and there needs to be at least consideration for the best guys in each role.

    Historically i agree. But listening to nick r (one of the aa selectors), he seemed pretty forthright he at least will be selecting wingman for his team. (Specifically Langdon).

    Recent rule changes have increased the values of wingers and there's a chance a few of the selectors pick em. 

    Mccluggage (hes played more inside recently but its not a shock him on a wing) and Langdon for mine.

    I personally don't care how many MFC players are named as AA's so long as the current MFC players can say they are premiership players.

    I remember Gary Lyon's comment when introduce on the footy show as 6 times AA said I would give them all up to be called a Premiership player.

    As mentioned, Langdon should be at least on the bench.

    Gripes;

    1) Too many inside mids: 

    im ok with both Parish and Petracca being named at HFF, but not if the bench has Wines and Lyons. Way too many inside players.

    2) Too many tall defenders:

    May, Weitering, Lever, Stewart, Harris-Andrews. Pick 3. Who locks down on the small forward? 

    3) Lack of runners:

    Too many talls and inside players on the bench. Langdon would help.

    4) Coach/Captain:

    Clearly Goodwin and Gawn. Name them now to give them the recognition.

    Edit: Gawn has been named captain. My bad.

    Fair team I think.

    Parrish forward makes me giggle.

    Parish deserves to be in the 22 but not as a forward. It makes me furious when they put genuine midfielders as forwards to fit extra mids in the side.

    Exactly, should be in for sure. You can kind of get away with it sometimes but he's kicked 5 goals for the year no one will buy it.

    And Brayshaw must be close to the second best true winger.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
