2022 All Australian Squad

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

The backline will be interesting

There isnt much competition for the true FB, CHB. Its between May, Weitering &   Stewart  probably ends up taking one of the pockets and i think Maynard gets the other pocket.

I think Gus will be close to securing one of the HB roles, given his defensive form and recent time in the midfield, which ticks both boxes. 

Trac and Oliver are 100% locks. Gawn will be likely (pairing up with Witts for the ruck combo). Having 5 players in the team will be a tough ask, given Geelong are unlikely to have that many.

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

Fair selections. You'd reckon Oliver, Trac, May and Max will get jackets.

Fritta and Brayshaw next season!

Lingers struggled the second half of the year and many here were calling on Kozzie to be dropped half way through the year!

Reckon Melksham, Spargo and Ben Brown are stiff (but only because I like to annoy people on Demonland).

surely ANB gets a nomination for the best spew of the season

[Bates Mate 4,487]

I think May is actually a bit lucky. 

Has Had an average 2nd half year compared to last year. He has been in most people's AA teams by default

[chook fowler 19,459]

Really pleased for Gus. Well deserved 

[chook fowler 19,459]

Viney must have been close but so many mids  to choose from

[Smokey 4,389]

Lingers stiff but the truth is he doesn’t handle a tag very well, maybe that’s why he missed 

[Mickey 4,684]

Only 2 rucks, and Gawn [censored] all over Witts.

Marching to his 6th AA

[gs77 4,251]

Delighted for Fritta. 50 goals - best medium forward in the AFL by a country mile.

Sam Taylor is a lock for one of the KPB positions. May should get the nod ahead of Weitering and Stewart for the other, and I'd imagine Stewart would get the BP position. Maynard should get the other BP position, and the half backs should go to Daniel Rioli and Sinclair.

He’s been a bit off his best but at the same time since he came back from his break he’s easily beaten Daniher twice and taken care of Walker, McKay, Hawkins and Naughton. 

Unless I’ve forgotten someone the only key forward who’s really got away on him was Peter Wright early in the year

Playing half a season of ordinary football probably played a role too

I’d have Wilkie in a back pocket, such a great shut down defender. And I’d have Sicily over Taylor, just does so much more.

Stewart CHB, Maynard back flank. Rioli’s been great but only need 1 rebounding defender

6 AAs in 178 games. Has to be an all time record of games per AA

[Superunknown 4,217]

Jeez max could go 5 in a row!

He should go 6 in a row. Witt's has been pretty good but no where in the Max tier. I'd only go one ruckman. I get having 2 when Grundy and gawn where both playing at the same high level but no ruckman could claim to be at Max's level this year

No Maynard? I think he’s had a very very good year. 

[Bitter but optimistic 22,239]

If Max gets his sixth jumper that puts him ( deservedly) into rarified company.

Max is so bloody good his "average" performances get underrated . Yet an "average" performance from Max is light years ahead of the best from almost any ruckman I can remember.

Plus he is an outstanding captain.

Absolute champion of the game

I think Sinclair has had a better year so much so that they had to put a tagger on him.

No ifs about it he WILL get his 6th AA jacket.

[whatwhat say what 22,755]

not only should max be a lock for his 6th aa jacket, but his second as skipper
