I just noticed Zorko was selected 🤢🤢🤢 wtf!?

Averaged 26 possesions and 20 effective each week off half back and was a huge part of their revival. Very good season.

zorko was phenomenal this year

the one strange one to me was picking naicos out on a wing

he definitely deserves to be in the team, but d'ambrosio was clearly one of the best wingmen in the competition in 2024 and a huge part of dingley's rise from nothing into being a premiership contender

they never rarely genuine wingers , just another spot for a midfielder. See Ed Langdon 2021

Caleb Windsor with 1 vote in the rising star is a joke. Lawson Humphries, who I've never even heard of (played 9 games for the cats) got more votes

I thought it was pretty much spot on. Windsor with only one vote was disappointing but fair with the other players in front of him.

Lawson Humphries was fantastic in nearly every single game he played. The Cats recruitment team have done it again. My envy is overloading.

The Dorko selection baffles me?? 

Not when supplemented with a Sir Les Patterson. He can wear his AA Blazer to fancy dress party's, soirees, masquerades and mad mondays with aplomb.

tbf Lawson Humphries was given 2 Votes by Eddie Betts. 

So 1 person voted for him much like 1 person voted for Caleb Windsor, Logan Morris (Brisbane) Matt Roberts (Sydney Swans).

Just passing the 'fashion is transient and style lingers' microscope over some in the AA team photo. Blazers buttoned up correctly almost universal, except front row second from the left, whose identity fortunately eludes me. Must of been too hot under the photographer's lamp, poor lamb. Shame the state of dishevelment is further multiplied by the open collar. Wardrobe must have run out of ties after Zorko.

Although the Sydney crowd almost get away with it. Must be the all seasons lawn bowls fraternity look. Jesse's attempt at a Windsor belies his neat goal kicking skills. Zorko's is slightly askew and the length suggests a Freudian slip off the prêt-à-porter cliff. Plus the tan Blundstones are simply out of place. Pleasingly Max , Jezza and suprisingly Daicos, show how to maintain dress standards. Although Cripps needs to consult a mirror occasionally and the Bont's socks have some insidious advertising visible. Is it his brand?

Overall fortunately most are worthy recipients of the blazer because of their football prowess.

But he came 3rd in the players votes;  By his peers.

Well done Caleb
