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.

    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

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
