didnt think there be any dees, as per usual

didnt think there be any dees, as per usual

Were you expecting one this year?

nah how did richardson get in baffles me

Simply put, there was not one Demons player worthy of a place. No tears here.

no pies, eddie wont be happy hehe

No Dees in All-Australian team

Shocking, really !!!

Shocking, really !!!

What no Godfrey??? How can it be??

roger hayden above heath shaw?

i thought he was a definite AA this year...couldnt make the top 40

What no Godfrey??? How can it be??

I know kryton, it is a true crime !!!

Like you all, I'm absolutely shocked there's no Dees in there this year.

My sarcasm meter is about to explode. So's my disinterest meter, for that matter.

The AA selectors have done a good job, unusually! I find it hard to argue with any of their top 40 list. Heath Shaw would be a bit unlucky but other than that I reckon they are on the money! The best Demons this year have been Jones and JMac and neither would be ahead of the midfield list selected.

Actually surprised that Tarkyn Lockyer didn't make the short list.

i couldnt care less how many dees get in, but i am stoked no pies did

i couldnt care less how many dees get in, but i am stoked no pies did

That does kind of give you the warm and fuzzies !!!

i can hear them whinging now 'oh but we have the best youth' and 'oh we are the best side'. you know what? you are scum and your players didnt make the AA shortlist, and we beat on queens bday. now go back to your trailer. lol

Trailer filth ha

Like you all, I'm absolutely shocked there's no Dees in there this year.

Agree. Nasher in all truth we would struggle to get nominations in an AA 2nd or 3rd XXII.

I think Nathan Jones should have been looked at.

Other than that, there's not too many on our list that have had a great year.

Too many injuries - Just wait for next year.

Yep, it's hard to get AA selection when you've played 17 games or less... and since that covers all but half a dozen of our team, I guess that's the way it goes.

With a clean injury run Bell might have been a run at it in the back pocket. Definately one of the better players in the position.

Then again, with a clean injury run, I'm sure Rivers would have had CHB sewn up weeks ago

No Dees in All-Australian team

All I can say is thank God.

The AA team is a joke

Jed Adcock? Hayden? Malceski? LOL

The AA team is a joke

Jed Adcock? Hayden? Malceski? LOL

Whats wrong with adcock being in there? Have you watched him play?

Jed Adcock? Hayden? Malceski? LOL

I would love to see Adcock running around in a Melbourne jersey. IMHO he is exactly what we need.

I reckon he is an absolute monty to make the AA team.

if i was a forward and richo got picked before me i would be hanging my head in shame.
