2022 All Australian Team

[Chook 14,997]

Congrats to May, Gawn, Clarry, and Trac. It was largely a very well picked AA team (Curnow in the forward pocket was a bit NQR though).

I just wish they'd pick wingers and actual captains as captains. 

Being a captain isn't a joke - you have to actually know what you're doing in the position. Kind of like every other position on the ground.

Agree, it's an honour and a privelage to have that captaincy. They don't just give them out in Wheaties packages.

[layzie 32,801]

These clowns need to stop saying who they feel sorry for and celebrate the guys in there.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,631]

Watching Dangerfield and Jezza Cameron try to crack a joke between them earlier in the evening - totally cridgeworthy.

Almost as crindgewothy as Hawkins would be for AA Captain.

[DubDee 24,347]

Don’t tell me Zorko missed out on AA Captain??!!

[Wilson7 2,616]

Still cant work out how Saad made it over Brayshaw

[Bitter but optimistic 22,064]

Not how I would have had it personally. Sinclair for dash and Gus for intercept and poise. Ah well

Hawkins captain? He is not even the captain of his own team. Wtf? 
This is a Geelong [censored] fest. Vomit. 

That is such a joke.  He does not even deserve to be in the team.  His stats were boosted by cheap goals against north, west coast, and Essendon (4.0 per game).

Against decent sides he was average at best. 16 goals from 8 games against finalists (2.0 per game).  Just as well they didn’t have our draw and play 11 games against top 8 teams.

Yet rewarded with captaincy. Joke.

 

 

[layzie 32,801]

All jokes aside i do think it is a good side that would win a lot of games.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,208]

Bailey Fritsch, best medium fwd in the game. Play a tall on him and he’ll beat them on the ground, play a mid/small on him and he’ll beat them in the air. 8th in the goal kicking playing in a team with the hardest draw in the competition. 
Fritsch is a gun and hopefully a dual premiership player come the end of September.

Player	Club	Goals
Charlie Curnow	Carlton	64
Tom Lynch	Richmond	60
Jeremy Cameron	Geelong	59
Tom Hawkins	Geelong	59
Peter Wright	Essendon	53
Max King	St Kilda	52
Aaron Naughton	Western Bulldogs	51
Bayley Fritsch	Melbourne	50
Lance Franklin	Sydney	50

Dane Zorko's clearly a Weat Bix man then.

[DubDee 24,347]

So much complaining! In fairness I didn’t watch the sht show

4 AAs. We have 3 genuine superstars. Clarry might have 10 AAs by the time he retires. He cannot stopped

Go you mighty Demons!

Dane Zorko probably eats his Wheat Bix dry.

How the phukc BBB missed out is a mystery to me.

[titan_uranus 24,583]

Can't complain about our club's representation.

Can complain about Hawkins being in there at all over Lynch, let alone captain.

When they named Hawkins as Captain I just switched off the Telly. Give me a break. A Captain should be a leader of men. Hawkins is far from that.   Makes me sick.

 

[Demonstone 21,759]

Gosh.  So many posters complaining so much about something that ultimately means so little.

We're here to win back to back premierships.  The rest is just a sideshow.

[Swooper1987 3,214]

Other than Hawkins being named captain, it's actually a really decent side.  I'd have swapped Hawkins for Lynch but otherwise it's hard to see who didn't deserve to be in there.  Congratulations to Gawn who is clearly the best ruckman since Dean Cox. 6 AA's puts him in rare air.  Oliver will be there soon enough, and well done to Petracca and May on their achievements.

True, but we Posters do not like imposters.

Too true Demonstone. This is really just bubblegum
