I'm actually surprised he made it. Had a good year but not as good as last year. Was injured in the first quarter against the Dockers, missed the next two games and then took a few games to get back in the groove after his dust-up.

Most "new" champion choices often make the team in their second breakout year as Selectors trust the new champs on the block. 

Players like Sinclair and Saad are one hit wonders generally.

Felt like Brayshaw stiff not to at least make the bench, not sure rozee had that good of a year. One again no wings, with the way the transition game is played these days they are one of the most important roles in any serious team, no coincidence that all the best sides have at least one good winger.

Rozee finished 5th in the coaches votes 1 behind Tracc and 10 behind Clarry and Miller. He deserves his spot.

how Tom Lynch doesn’t get in ahead of Hawkins is beyond me though. Clearly wanted a cats captain.

Don’t get the Tom lynch or tex argument

you can’t have more than 3 kpf

i actually think it should only be 2

curnow most goals 

cameron probably best overall player this year 

and Tom Hawkins goals and goal assists probably gives him nod as well as geelongs record 

tom lynch only kicked 19 goals against top 8 teams with bags at the end of the year against hawks who didn’t even play sicily on him and Essendon who were cooked

For starters, Hawkins only kicked 16 goals against top 8 teams (8 games, 2 goals/game) and Lynch kicked 19 goals against top 8 teams from 5 games (3.8 goals/game) and kicked more goals overall despite playing 5 less games. It was an objectively superior body of work.

I used to live next door to Clarko. I had an argument with him about who was better out of Oliver and Cripps.

1 to Wrecker 0 for Clarko.

When we payed Carlton I noticed Cripps tagging Oliver a few times at centre bounces. Oliver would get away from him and Cripps was following him.

You won't see Clarry tagging anyone. Cam.you.imagime if he got a free run.at the ball.

 

You had an argument with Clarko? Have you got a death wish? 😛

Disgrace that Hawkins is Captain.

Has never captained at any level. Borderline cheat with his 'flailing' arms and elbows

Don't forget the litres of baby oil to make it harder to tackle him and some of his team mates.


Another job well done by the selectors, trying to squeeze in 19 inside mids into a 22 man squad.

Wingers do not exist.

Then don't read it. You saw the topic title.

The topic title wasn't "Let's have a whinge about all the Geelong players in the AA Team".

No idea how Blicavs keeps getting AA, Brayshaw extremely unlucky.

Huh? Isn’t this Blicavs’ first AA?

Hawkins captain is a bigger middle finger than Trump getting presidency.

Maybe if the selectors let people know their criteria.

In my my if you are a club captain and good enough to make the starting 18 then You should be 1st choice . If their a more than one choose the captain they feel had the better year (Cripps this year)

If it's just a lifetime achievement award just let people know to avoid all the ambiguity

I think part of it is to generate discussion 

 

 

I’d like it if the players awarded AA were then asked on the spot to vote for their  captain (not the selectors captain). Secret ballot style to be read out at the end.
I think that would result in a captain everyone respects.

That's right. I personally thought Cripps should have been bench but he's in the team so captain makes sense. Or how about this novel concept: Touk Miller?

It's not supposed to be a popularity contest and something where bozos can chat afterwards with comments like "I'm glad they gave it to him"


Must admit I just expected it to be the Premiership Captain who just received his sixth All Australian Jacket but I suppose Hawkins has been such a great captain at glong. Grrrr bloody grrrr. Turned off at that point.!!!!

Obviously the selectors got orgasmic after the vision appeared of Hawkins running downfield to admonish the poor ball movement of his team’s defenders. True captain’s worth🙄

I think they let the people know when first Rance, and then Franklin was made AA captain in 2018. He wasnt part of the leadership group at the Swans and like Hawkins had never been captain. Since Selwood they spread it around now.   

They dont spell it out because they know the outrage and debate get the clicks!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
