Quite like this system of selecting players for the AA squad. Good to see Fletch n Scotty being named, but i doubt either will make it into the final squad, and have a look at that no Scum or Filth in the mix :D

Fletch should get in.
Doubt Lucas will, Franklin and Pavlich will take two of the key forward spots and you know Riewoldt, despite being grossly over-rated, will get the third.

Maybe Lucas on the bench?

I like the squad, gives you a look at who was considered.

Roger Hayden???

Heath Shaw is a tad stiff especially given Hayden got a gig.

Thought Lockyer was stiff but not upset he missed...

I reckon maybe Big Bad Jono Brown might just have something to say about that Ross! :wink:

Anyway here would be my team - based on that 40:

B: Adcock Scarlett Fletcher
HB: Malceski Egan C.Brown
C: Hodge K.Cornes Corey
HF: S.Johnson Pavlich(VC) Riewoldt
F: Harvey J.Brown (C) B.Johnson (VC)
R: Cox Ablett Bartel
I: McIntosh Foley Franklin C.Cornes

Emergencies in order:

N.Lappin
S.Fisher
D.Kerr
S.Lucas
A.Mcleod
B.Lade

Not even close:

R.Hayden
B.Ebert
C.Bolton
D.Glass
C.Jones
C.Mooney

Oh yeah and Roger Hayden wtf?? Spike deserves a spot ahead of him....

Unless they are picking a team under the same rules as the South African Cricket team I really cant work that out!!!

Pfft...whats J. Brown done this year?

Only won 4 games off his own boot and won the Coleman Medal. :lol:

Clearly forgot about him, sorry about that.

Didn't see any Collingwood players in there.

Funny that.

I'm biased but Hirdy was stiff to miss. Obviously due to his injury, but he still won half a dozen games off his own boot. Got the most votes from me this season, along side Watson.

Heath Shaw should retire now if Hayden gets a guernsey.

Fletch really should get in though.

Lets see how he goes without Gehrig in the team. Previously, he has been going one on one as the FB cant afford to zone off Gehrig. Now with him not there, the FB can take a risk and zone onto Riewoldt.
And for all the stardom and accolades he gets, he sure does miss a lot of important goals.

He's a shocking kick, but then again before this year so was brown. He averages 10 marks a game! Contested/uncontested it doesn't matter when you drag in that many.
