I was just curious if we think there could be a few Ess listed All Australians this year??

At the moment i would think that Jobe Watson, Paddy Ryder and Andrew Lovett would definately be in contention.

No. We wont have anyone in the side. Watson deserves it, and Lovett would be just outside mine, but they always sneak a undeserving Crows or Swans player in there, so Watson wont get picked.

Pansies like Dale Thomas will get selected.

Ryder is a very good chance. Which ruckmen have been dominant this year? Oops, that's right....Josh Fraser

Dustin Fletcher will be selected in a back pocket next to Scarlett - he has not played a bad game this year and despite injury during the middle stages, will storm home.

Lovett must get a gig on the wing and Jobe is a dead set certainty - is leading the AFL in a range of critical stats

I would be shocked if we got anyone in... The media hate us.

Well when you have these turkeys on the selection panel;

Andrew Demetriou (chairman), Adrian Anderson, Rod Austin, Kevin Bartlett, Mark Bickley, Gerard Healy, Glen Jakovich and Robert Walls

is it any wonder we don't get any representation?

Is there any f***'n panel, committee, membership, council, group, or party that Kevin Bartlett isn't on?? FFS, get him away from football matters and put someone with modern day relevance. Same with that piece of shit, Gerard Healy.

Would be sad if we diidnt get at least 1 player in the AA side... i have a feeling that Lovett will definately play in the international rules series whether he gets picked or not. He is pretty good at Gaelic Footy.

I think they'll probably start with Sandilands who has been in terrific form all year, Gardiner at St Kilda has been playing well most of the year, Cox is always in the running. I doubt that Ryder would even be mentioned.

Jolly as well - he and Sandilands lead the hitouts with daylight to third. Hamish McIntosh has also been pretty good for North.

I thought Hird was on the panel? Or is that another panel? Too many panels and committes these days...

Hird's just been put on the panel I think.

No chance for Ryder as Gerard Healy has a massive boner for Sandilands.

I would have thought that Lovett or Watson might get a gig on the bench.

No more evident than last year when Hille was clearly one of the best two ruckmen in the league and a dead set certainty for AA status.... and couldn't break a way through the reputations of Cox and Sandilands, who were selected on reputation alone... and the man-love the panel have for them.

I would think that Paddy needs a couple more BOG's. He has certainly been good for long periods and his workload far exceeds any other ruckman in the competition. However, I dont see him being in the best 2 rucks right now (although I did about 4-5 weeks ago)

Sandilands outplayed Hille late in the year at Subiaco which probably pushed him ahead of Hille in the final vote.

f***'n laughable. Sandilands is the best tap ruckmen for the opposition midfield. Love to know the stats of the clearances after he wins the tap.....

Sandilands was leading the AFL in centre bounce clearances as at the end of round 13....he's started doing it himself seeing as his midfielders can't get in the right places

Ryderm possibly on the bench due to versatility.

Lovett is a possibility for FP, Wing or HBF.

If Watson is not C then there is something very very wrong.

Winderlich I reckon is an outside chance as well.

Aha! Fair enough then - he's doing all the work!
