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. 

Kozzy would have been nowhere near it.

Langdon is stiff 

 

I obviously don't watch enough footy Is, Is there another ruck in the squad aside from Gawn? Absolute Monty for 6th jacket and probably the C too

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.

I wouldn't, Witts has been excellent this season.

You’re right that Jackson isn’t as good as Witts this year statistically, but I’d say Jacko’s possessions and score involvements are more valuable than a lot of Witts key stats, though his hit outs to advantage are excellent. Freo’s Darcy is stiff, much more consistent than Witts statistically. Gawny in a league of his own (sorry for the seperate posts couldn’t get it to let me post pictures and text, mids feel free to merge).

Yeah I see your point, Witts might be more the the more traditional body on body 'win the hitout' guy.

Darcy very stiff, I would have thought Tim English would have made the squad as well. 

54 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

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

I think Cripps might get it if he’s named as a starting mid, but if not, surely Max.

Witts has had a better pure Ruck season but Gawn’s around the ground stuff places him well above him.

had a crack at putting a side together on zerohanger from the 44. rkn this is pretty fair.

maybe sicily to CHB and a different BP in but couldn't really press a case for any too hard.

and tossed up the macrae spot possibly for trac but i think he hasn't been as good as last year or it could be a witts/CCameron/stengle in that order

My AA22 squad from 44.png

 

I would pay a lot of money every single year to see the two squads of 22 play off in an exhibition game. Will never happen obviously but man it would be something. 
 

Some of my best memories of watching AFL is watching the Big V with Lockett, Ablett and Lyon in the same forward line playing SA.

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

I love the way the AA squad gives Jack 2 weeks to get really angry about being over looked. Look out Swannies!

Cripps as captain couldn't lead his team into a finals series.

MaCrae made your 22?? I thought he was well below his best year. 
and Barrass I wouldn’t have either. 

aside from that, a nice team 👍🏻

Really? 2 teams of AA. Who do you cheer for?

I like the state of origin but an all star game I wouldn’t even bother to watch on telly

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. 

His last 6 games have been very good and he is developing a real sense of impact and occasion. 

Is now playing a lot more front and centre and reaping the benefits. Is an improved more consistent and rounded small forward IMO in 2022 than 2021.

Watch out for him in the Finals as a real x factor and point of difference, in fact a match winner.

Has had some great form of late. Hopefully it can continue. We all forget his still young and really will be coming to age over the next year or two. 

Consistency is what challenges the best of young players , so I think we will start to see it improve.

In the years to come, I think you can also look to play him similar to Bolton once he builds an engine and puts on a bit more size - I think Kozzy has had a better staRt to his career. Rolling him through the midfield with his great foot skills and raw speed and agility will make him a nightmare matchup.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
