So, who have you got from your side in the AA?

For mine, Ryder is the stand out with Wingard mounting a case for inclusion over the last 6 to 8 weeks.

So.....?

Franklin & Kennedy shoe ins I reckon

By seasons end, Parker, Rampe, Grundy and Zac Jones may be in the discussion.

Laird and Betts are locks IMO
Lynch should but tough competition in his role to hold out true midfielders who they need to find spots for.
Talia possibly, but will likely miss with Rance and Hurley playing better.

Betts v R.Gray for the small forward and in reality it should come down to goals kicked at seasons end.

Betts 41 v Gray 40 at the moment.

Betts IMO. His goal assists are a class above.

4 way race for the small forward role between Betts, Gray, Greene and Walters IMO.
May also make a bench spot available for 1 of them

Greene will miss out i reckon in the end. Missed too many weeks. 3 with suspension & 2 with the hammy - is that correct?

Not Greene this year IMO, well down on goals and goal assists to Betts and Gray.

Green 32 goals 14 assists.
Gray 40 / 26
Betts 41 / 18

Averages would be quite close taking into account games missed, Menzel might not be far behind them too.

I don't think Talia is close this year at all. Rance, Hurley, Grundy, McGovern ( WC ) and McDonald ( Melb ) are all ahead of him IMO.

Agreed, but I'm pretty sure they go on output across the year and not averages.

yeo docherty roberton simpson lloyd laird would all give him a run for his money

From the crows I think Betts is the only lock.

Lynch and Tex should be in the conversation now

Subdued from you Benny I was expecting you to nominate 6 at least. Jokes! Rory surely in the mix?

Mitchell the only Hawk in the mix, and an outside chance at best.

Sloane no chance IMO, been shut out of too many games.

Mitchell the most touches, must be in the mix.

Have to agree, Big Boy may get close to the initial 40 but certainly wont get to the 22.
