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?

    Decent case for an AA second team.

    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: 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.
