Maybe, probably not. Gone for midfielders and runners on bench for all out attacking footy. Defense overated

[Dirko]

What no one from Carlton ?

[silicone skyline]

Thought buddy Franklin would be unlucky not to be named

[Dirko]

He has
Lance Franklin....

[Aerie]

What is the point of announcing the squad of 40???

[silicone skyline]

He has
Lance Franklin....

Yes.
My bad.

[silicone skyline]

Steve Johnson???
Are they kidding?

[daveswar]

No-one from Carlton, Collingwood, or Melbourne. The old 'no Buckley, no Collingwood' bells are ringing!! Maybe these 'no tatent' Vic teams should be the first to go. Oh what a dream that would be.
PS SS, Steve Johnson was on the verge of AFL oblivion 12mths ago. Has, like the rest the team, had an unbelievable year. Watch some highlights footage on official website to refresh your memory.

[Blue Boy]

Rutten is a bit unlucky - held even the great J Brown 2 weeks ago !!!

[Blue Boy]

Steve Johnson???
Are they kidding?

From what I have seen of Geelong he has played very well - I rekon anyway !!!

[Pup]

Steve Johnson???
Are they kidding?

No are you Kidding?? He has had a magnificent year.

He would be competing with Ebert and Corey Jones for spots.

he has played 5 less games yet only 5 less goals than Jones and 11 behind Ebert

Has had more Possesions than both even after missing 5 games and has taken more marks than both as well.

He has dominated games this year..

He is a donkey in comparison to those players around him.
You may had well have named Brad Fisher from Carlton in that list.

He isn't strictly a forward either like Jones and Ebert, all of those players are barring of course the brilliant Harvey

[Rik E Boy]

Steve Johnson???
Are they kidding?

He's been a darn sight more consistent than Buddy Franklin.

No Magpies = Eddie furious.

[Pup]

No Magpies = Eddie furious.

Tarkyn Lockyer was very unlucky....

[blink]

Yes I agree - Lockyer was very unlucky to miss the All-Australian team, let alone the squad of 40!

[Rik E Boy]

He isn't strictly a forward either like Jones and Ebert, all of those players are barring of course the brilliant Harvey

LMAO. So that's how he scored 35 goals in 16 matches. NFI as per usual Silly Cone Tits.

[BenchedEagle]

McLeod would have to have that back flank spot for sure.
