Why no Steven May? Is it because of hammy injuries?

If that is so, there are plenty in that team with injury concerns 

May’s never played a full 22 game season (got pretty close last year). He isn’t a dominant intercept marker and also drops the occasional mark going back with the flight. Plus our conservative play from the backline doesn’t maximise his run and kicking which is one his advantages over most key defenders.

I’m ok with him being viewed as a rung belong the very best key defenders for this season, with the aim to have him cherry ripe for September.

I hate everything to do with ‘cancel culture’ but fully support David King being cancelled after seeing this. 

Rather than cancellation for King, he needs to wake up to himself - and abdicate!

Langdon is clearly the best wing in the game IMO, wish he would get the recognition he deserves.

No Max

No Mr. Ed

No S. May

No Fritsch

Now that is fair enough, but the players he has chosen, instead of those players are nowhere near as good as those 4

 

I'm genuinely surprised any players from other teams got in at all...

He picked the Dogs to win the GF because Goody would be coaching from the bench.

We should all acknowledge that the man's a genius.

You do realise it's just media fodder to create debate. 

Why so serious?

It's his opinion. I don't know why people get so worked up over it. It's also click bait.

King's opinion on Gawn will be found to be either right or wrong. Along with the Champion Data rankings, there's a bit of a surprising tendency to still under-rate Max as a ruck. Beats me why.

 

Gawn is basically about to hit the twilight of his career and with Jackson being as good as he is, it’s possible he will spend less time rucking and more time forward. They would want to conserve him for finals. 
Still madness not to include him tho. He’s the best ruck in the competition and by a fair margin too.

Extracting the urine with no Max

 

Pendlebury 🤣🤣🤣

Gawn, Pendlebury and Martin are automatic AA selections until they're not. That is, until they're past it. My prediction is that neither Pendlebury or Martin will be AA this year.
