Langdon and Kozzy must have been close. 
 

Gawn surely has to get jacket number 6 and Oliver and Trac are locks.

Seems to be a lot of good defenders around at the moment so not sure if May or Brayshaw make it or not.

I think Frittata is a good chance as long as they don’t pick an unbalanced side with too many key/big forwards or too many midfielders as forwards. 

Duck for cover, someone will have an issue with something there. 

Lingers very stiff to miss to the squad 

Some most worthy candidates for All Australian honours from our terrific 2022 team. Wishing Angus Brayshaw and Bayley Fritsch magna [censored] laude for this year's gongs.

Wow our first censored! Innocent your honour.

Fritsch?

I find that an unusual selection but ok.  

Lingers stiff.

Two HF will be midfielders (Trac one of em). You'll then have Hawkins, Curnow, Mackay, Cameron and Lynch all fighting for CHF &  FF. One of the forward pockets will be a small forward which will be one of Stengle, Bolton, Papley and Cameron (probably C. Cameron) . The 6th forward position could be anything. Fritta has to be ahead on the small forwards, but my feel is that they'll give it to Jeremy Cameron as the 3rd tall and go Curnow, Lynch for 1 & 2 and Hawkins on the bench.

Think Langdon's second half of the season not as impressive as his first. He was very unlucky in 2021 - only unlucky in 2022.

Not sure if it is my inherit Dees bias, but Papley over Pickett? Know he had more disposals etc but a little surprising for mine

Kicking 50 goal in a season probably had something to do with it...

I'm glad thad Fritsch's season has been recognised. I'd go so far as to say that he's been the best medium forward for two years.

Kossi a bit stiff I reckon, but there are a few decent small forwards around at the moment, and the selectors would only be looking at goals kicked and not the less obvious stuff.

Lingers has had an average second half of the year. No issues with him missing out

His main issue is consistency. There were a few games prior to his outstanding game against Port, where he was hardly involved. But he is still very young and i think if he continues to improve and have an impact on games he will have few AA jackets by the end of his career. 

Kozzi is stiff as.  If you asked any supporter which small fwd they would want in their team based on this 2022 form, everyone would pick Kozzi

I reckon Gawn, Trac and Clarry are locked for the 22.  Gus a maybe. May and Fritsch have not done enough imo

Wasn’t so hot after his rib injury but coming good at the right time of year.!!

Yep; starting to look good! Just too many weeks in between of average (which is fine, just not AA standard) performance 

AA selection committee meet mid year and Kossie wouldn't have rated a mention. Far better 2nd half but not enough to crack the squad.

Jack Mccrae is a surprise. Had an average year.

Not even gonna complain. 6 in the squad is sensational, used to only ever dream of the day!

Whether he makes it or not, congrats to Fritta too!

 

Fritsch will get a jacket. Consecutive years of 50+ goals.

May had to wait until last year to get a jacket even though he was outstanding in 2020 as well. I reckon it'll be the same with Fritsch

Happy with our ins, Langdon stiff but did drop away in the second half of the year. There doesn’t appear to be any wing in that squad though. It’s become a very important position, unless Shai Bolton is put in as a wing? 
Pies are a bit stiff, N Daicos, Pendlebury and Sidebottom have all had excellent years, I’d have one of them over some of MacRae, Kelly, Sinclair and even Warner.

I’d have Jackson over Witts or Blitsavs also. What the ruck selections show is how far beyond the rest of the rucks in the competition Max is, must get a 6th jacket.

Pretty sure they meet more than that. I remember hearing Kane Cornes talk about an upcoming committee meeting only a week or so ago.

Barrass and Kelly was pretty lucky too - in addition to McCrae
