2019 All Australian

Grimes, Vlastuin and Prestia must be certainties for AA selection, surely.

Vlastuin is no certainty; he's not even in the 40 man squad!

Grimes is a certainty and I think Dusty will make it as well. Would love to see Houli and Prestia in there as well but can't see it happening.
 
not that it means much, but Matthews said 'he'd be a lock for AA I would have thought'.

If the greatest ever thinks it, surely that carries some weight? Brad Sheppard in the squad before our boy? GTFO selectors.

That's a shock. Thanks for the heads-up, Riddles. Can't believe Vlastuin isn't even in the squad. What a nonsense that is.
 
Vlas not good enough to make the unlucky list on the afl website

From what I understand the selection process isn’t based solely on one year’s form but in the event it’s a line ball or close to line ball decision the player with a more decorated career to date will always take the choccies. With that being said, this isn’t the first outstanding season for Vlastuin. The last two have been just that and the year (premiership) before was almost as good. He’s in my AA back 6. Farce.

So Yobbo and Mincey were discussing the AA forward line. Both agreed J. Cameron would be CHF and FF was between Sideshow Bob Brown, Eyes Too Close Hawkins, Flat Track Bully Darling and Tom Lynch. It’s quite ironic that two blokes who rarely give us the credit we deserve are saying Lynch is in the mix for the AA forward line when he’s not even in the 40 man squad!!

That said it could be viewed as evidence that he’s had a great season and should at least be in the 40 man squad.

Yeah I didn't get the point of the conversation. If Lynch isn't in the squad, why discuss him?
 
Saad and McKenna from the Druggies have got to be the HBF's all Ive ever heard about them is how dominant and how amazing they are.
 
Blight who only reads the papers, had Grub in the back pocket, Houli on the flank and Dusty in the pocket.
 
Do these so called experts watch the games? How Edrwards doesn’t make the top 40 let alone the top 5 has me Flked.
Without Edwards we would be a bottom 8 side.
He sets the agenda in nearly all our games

He was maybe a bit lucky to squeeze into the 22 last year and suffered from not having a set position this season. Still, I had him as the fourth Tiger ahead of Houli and Lynch. Slot him in at CHB...

Unlike others I'm not miffed at Vlastuin missing out. He had a great finish to the h&a season and there is probably a bit of recency bias involved there.
 
fan votes put lachie Neal on the AA ball and dusty on the bench.

as if we needed any conformation that keyboard fuckknuckles are clueless?

I like Lachie Neal, but he is more Tom Mitchell and Matt Priddis than those two combined

same. I love having Love Machine on our team, and he's done exactly what was required for Richmond after Rancey did his knee and he's a warrior who will go AA.

but the loose man in defence isnt really an AA position IMHO.

same as the inside mid who handballs it 5m, 30 times a game.
 
It took me a long time but I have done my All Australian side of 2019.

Big V Astbury Grimes
Houli McGovern Stack
McCluggage Martin Edwards
Castagna Fyfe Degoey
Jack lynch Rioli
Gawn Bompatelly Prestia
