@ACT-Crusader the more i read that, the more i think the AA selectors are fucking idiots with massive blindspots
Collingwood have been fucking ordinary considering they have 4 of the best players in the comp this year
No Gold Coast players? None?
Melbourne, Collingwood and the Bulldogs won 28 games between them, finished 7, 8, and 9, and yet contribute 10 of the best 40 players in the comp this year? top work selectors.
Brisbane, Port and Richmond won 40 games, finished 1, 2, and 3, and contribute 11.
-
@mariner4life yep. Startling tunnel vision from the selectors.
A number of those Pies and Demons wouldn’t make my 22.
-
@ACT-Crusader Presumably not Gawn and Petracca!?

Gawn wouldn’t make mine but Petracca would. Petracca has had an excellent season.
-
So a few surprises...
Back Sheppard - Andrews - Ryan
Halfback Haynes - Moore - Byrne-Jones
Centre Macrae - Boak - Guthrie
Half forward Dangerfield - Dixon - Bontempelli
Forward Ryan - Hawkins - Martin
Ruck Naitanui - Petracca - NealeInterchange Steele - Daniel - Adams - Gawn

Not just that but how about they select genuine wings than a couple of midfielders. Surely Gaff in there ahead of Macrae.
And I like the Bont, but if he gets picked as a half forward and has only kicked 11 goals for the season, when there are other half forwards in the 40 man squad that have kicked 25+ goals...
The man love for the midfielders still reigns supreme.

the fact i know so many of those names makes me think they've been picked on reputation
-
Selection is rightly copping heat. Just pick midfielders and stuff them in anywhere is not selecting. It's like they can't imagine a team without all of the biggest names in it.

@barbarian said in AFL 2020:
The half-forward line is where the head scratchers are. Charlie Dixon is a genuine full forward, and picking Danger and Bont there is a bit odd given neither can hit the side of a barn in front of goal.
But you can't have an AA without Bont and Danger...
-
Would’ve actually made more sense selecting Danger as ruck rover and Petracca as half forward
-
Be interesting if Rules was an international sport , and you had an important test series or WC to play ,
What the team would look like ,
Im guessing more emphasis on who stands up in big games
-
@kiwiinmelb @shark guys like Selwood, Pendlebury and a few experienced heads would probably be first names on there.
-
finals kick off tonight with a cracker. Port v Geelong should be huge. Can Geelong actually turn up this finals series? Are Port as good when finals pressure comes on?
Tigers v Brisbane tomorrow. Lions trying to win that fixture for the first time in a million years. I can't see it happening.
Then the eliminations on the weekend. Saints v Bulldogs should be close as fuck. Weagles v Collingwood you would expect to go West Coast's way.
-
Week 1 predictions
Port v Geelong
Lions v Tigers
Saints v Dogs
Eagles v Pies -
Doubt that would pay much
