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

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
