Tom Stewart making the team is an absolute joke. Has had an average season and Geelong’s defence has been ****house this year. I genuinely hate Harris Andrews and I’m no Weitering fan, but to have Stewart before them is ridiculous and the AA selectors are just playing favourites.

I have Tracc and Vines being equal 1ST . Stand by for a shock... Lachie Hunter to finish 4th or 5th in Bluey IMV

Those that want Hunter dropped every second week NFI.

AA is as big a joke as the Brownlow these days.

It's all media driven, boring and cringeworthy.

So could not give a flying F about these awards anymore. Just popularity contests based on the so called experts in the media.

Good on those who are recognised but it's just not what playing footy is about. 

 

 

Spot on.

Curnow kicked 3 goals in two games against a quality full back in Steven May..  

Defensive selections dubious in the extreme with Sicily, Stewart and Moore (who is off the boil for a while) .

Andrews deserved better. But Viney missing out the worst.

Just win the flag team.

Jackson LOL. First 6 weeks the supporters wanted their money back

 

He had 7 games with 10 hitouts or less. Never took more than 7 marks and had limited disposals in 9 games

 

If that's an AA then I'm a monkeys uncle


I’m not fussed one way or the other about the AA team. Bigger fish to fry.

I do question the Jackson selection though. Watched him a lot during the death ride and he put in a lot of mediocre performances. Some standout performances for sure but if that is all that’s required I reckon Gawn more worthy of the jacket

Congrats Trac, but someone like Zach Merrett ahead of Viney? Are you [censored] kidding me?

Yep AF, a massive Congratulations to Trac. His 4th blazer got lost in the wash a bit.

Trac became the third most capped Demon ever behind Gawn (6) and Paxy (5).

Serong I can deal with. Zach Merrett? Had some ripper games but had some total honkers as well.

Daicos rover is interesting but you do need him in. From my armchair view I'd have Daicos HBF and Viney Rover but that's my fairyland opinion.

Couldn't agree more. I'm a fan of Tom Stewart but he seems to have reached this 'gold card' AA membership status. Would have picked one of those other two for sure.

Kyle Langford, Essendon 

23 matches this season, 51 goals, 23 behinds 
Averages 13.7 disposals, 66.9% disposal efficiency, 5.7 marks, 1.6 inside 50s, 1.3 score assists, 0.8 contested marks, 1.6 tackles and 0.9 goal assists

 

This was a joke surely?


Why does the team need 3 FF's and 3 FB's while they name only 1 ruck ( English)? 

Curnow, Walker and Larkey. FF's

Wilkie(wtf!), Stewart, Moore.  even Sicily? FB's

It just means very good players in other positions get denied.  e.g Rowan Marshall is a far superior player to Callum WIlkie.

 

 

Feel like they now want every team to have a player how very equitable of them. Where was that in our dark days, Nathan Jones would be a 4x AA by today’s standards

It just means people don't notice how good we are anymore because they expect it, and because our contributions are very even across the side. 

And no better example of your evaluation is our defence.  The best in the league on a year to year basis and collectively, chock full of talent

Yet not one of our defence gets an AA guernsey?

So May, Lever, Rivers, Salem, McVee, Bowie & Turner (with Brayshaw helping out) go about their business with a minimum of fuss and they're not noticed? 

I'm damn sure the opposition & opposition coaches notice them

Defence wins Championships

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
