All Australian Squad

[Hondo]

I thought I'd have a crack at naming this years All Australian Side. It is very hard especially with so many good midfielders in the side and where to fit them.

Here goes:

B: O'Brien (Coll) Lake (WB) Enright (Geel)
HB: Goddard (St K) Taylor (Geel) Hodge (Haw)
C: Montagna (St K) Judd (Carl) Selwood (Geel)
HF: Chapman (Geel) Pavlich (Fre) Johnson (Geel)
F: LeCras (WCE) Riewoldt (Rich) Didak (Coll)
R: Sandilands (Fre) Swan (Coll) Ablett (Geel)
Int: Jamar (Melb) Hayes (St K) Boyd (WB) Dal Santo (St K)
Emg: Harvey (NM) Goodes (Syd) Pendlebury (Coll)

I'd only question whether Franklin could edge out Riewoldt at FF or at least for one of the midfielders on the bench? Frankin has been very consistent this season despite missing 5 games.

EDIT: I looked up some stats and I can see why you would put Riewoldt ahead of Buddy actually ....

I'd swap these two.

LeCras had one good game for the year.
I'm surprised he made the team.

Harvey for LeCras for me and Pendlebury for Montagna with Montagna taking Dal Santos spot on the bench. I would have Selwood playing in the guts before Judd, hes an absolute star

What about Barry Hall? Easily the best big man goal kicker this year. Pretty stiff I reckon...

[Groover]

Brad Green for Stevie J. kicked more goals and was more consistent

[Rik E Boy]

Brad Green for Stevie J. kicked more goals and was more consistent

Please. Stevie J got more goals than Green (57 to 55) from less games (19 to 22). Stevie J leads Green in goals per game, goal assists per game, inside 50 stats as well as score involvements.

[the joker]

lot of people dont think LeCras should be in
he got Snubbed last year.
58 and 63 goals in the last two years in team thats won like 12 games in that time', if he doesent make it its a discrace. imagine him a Geelong he could have been a 100 goal small forward

No he wouldn't because he'd get dropped for being a hungry arsehole. Watch him play...I don't think I've ever seen him handball. Play like that at Geelong and you're kicking the dew off the grass my friend. Very selfish player but I agree he deserves an All Australian gig...not because of last year's omission, but because he's had a good season.

when you got no one to kick to you have to be selfish, and they way he kicks the footy any coach would let him kick it,
he is probably the best kick in Australia

He seemed to go OK in midfield last week so perhaps Woosha should try him there because their midfield is bollocks.

Can i ask how the hell Darren Jolly made the squad ... playing good footy at the minute but took a long time to find his feet in a new team. His form woulda been closer to ordinary than anything else in the the first 6 - 8 weeks

Agreed. Mumford IMO deserves to be there, he has had a very good year.

Mumford is there..

[unknown source]

how did jolly get it?

[The Dark Knight]

how did jolly get it?

He gives the illusion he's had a good year because Collingwood has had a good year.

that never worked for Fraser! he always looked average!

Please Tell me you are joking?

Small Forward in the wooden spoon side who kicked 63 goals and he only played one good game according to you? Head in the sand much.

My perspective got warped from a supercoach view.
Scored above 100 twice for the year

He kicked a bag of 12 and 3 games he kicked 5.

After those 4 games he averaged 2 goals a game.
Is that All-Australian forward?

I'd take Milne over him.

Both Players stats are nearly identical except Milne played one more game and LeCras kicked 12 more goals.

For that reason alone it has to be LeCras in my opinion. Should have made it last year and should be a certainty this year IMO.

Take out everyones good 4 games with goal kicking and i think they would be nearly the same!

Eg: Riewoldt of the Jack Variety. Take out his bags of 10,7,6 and 6 and he has only kicked 49 goals in 18 games. Thats only 2.7 goals a game.

Le Cras is a certainty IMO
