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

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
