Seems right to me from Melbourne’s perspective 

May and Lever could get there in the second half if they get back to their best

    Petracca Captain probably by unanimous player vote, but by Media and AFL vote Moore who is a bighead

    Love Trac, but Moore is captain of the team on top of the ladder. He’s definitely the logical and worthy captain for the AA team at this stage.

    Pretty reasonable side. Only player inclusion I question is  Neales inclusion. That as well as the traditional lack of respect that wing is a specialist role and not just the place you extend the centre square mids you want to include to avoid tough decisions.

    And HF as well

    I’d say Toby Greene as caption, judging by last years criteria - which was clearly to pick a captain that annoyed as many people as possible.

    Trac and Clarry will be locks for the next few years. It's disappointing that nobody else has really put their hand up so far - Gawn, Salem, May, Lever, Fritsch, Pickett and Langdon were all in the conversation this time two years ago. That could potentially be a good thing in the back half of the year. Lots of very good players who can lift.

    That's about right. Two key forwards, didn't pull the Hawkins lever. I'm good with it.

    and half back, Jordan Dawson is a 247 inside mid imo. Not a HB flanker.

    The only reason Moore is in this side at all is because Petty went to the Forward line and Moore's old man demanded it.

    A good tough mobile CHF would murder him. We have two at the moment coming up.

    I’d love to see a stats based AA side that removes all ambiguity and bias.

    1. most goals  + contested marks inside 50 = FF

    2. most effective hit outs + clearances  + contested marks  + score involvements = Ruck

    3. # Disposals + contested possessions + clearances + pressure acts = Rover

    etc.

    This can all be weighted based on opponents  played and other factors that give a more rounded assessment as opposed to Pies getting 5 players because they are on top. 

    I think it’ll throw up some interesting results and we are likely to recognise a broader range of players and just favourites if the media (which make up most of the AA selection panel)

    Lloyd and Robbo leaving Oliver out  is surprising given the form of Clarry and the fact that he is equal 6th to win the Brownlow. He is having another fine season. We will see how the final and official AA team ends up.

    Also ticks the required box to have ‘beaten someone up with a crutch at Zagames’ before

    I'd be leaving Serong out if anyone was the be left out. Has been getting a lot of it all season but it's only the last month he's really been doing anything with it and hurting opposition. He can be a bit of a crab handballing and kicking sideways often.

    All that would be is Champion data picked AA teams, how lifeless.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
