The All-Un-Australian Team 2020

[Dyer'ere]

Some years you look at the AA side and go - OMG, I can pick one to flog that. Have a ball.

I know the AA side is picked on Supercoach points unless otherwise stipulated by WA but really.

FB: Brad Sheppard, Harris Andrews, Luke Ryan

HB: Nick Haynes, Darcy Moore, Darcy Byrne-Jones

C: Jack Macrae, Travis Boak (vc), Cam Guthrie

HF: Patrick Dangerfield (c), Charlie Dixon, Marcus Bontempelli

FF: Liam Ryan, Tom Hawkins, Dustin Martin

FOLL: Nic Naitanui, Christian Petracca, Lachie Neale

I/C: Jack Steele, Taylor Adams, Caleb Daniel, Max Gawn

Clangerfield named on a HFF but captain. Boak in the middle, eh? Boak.

Christian Petracca doesn't play #2 mid. But he gets a lot of Supercoach points.

Can we go back to Liam Ryan for a minute? What? He's no Supercoach champion. He's a West Coast selection. (Freo gets the Rising Star as compensation.) Glen Jakovich picked him.

Pick a side to beat this one. Be careful. There's one champion there this year. A big improvement.

HF: ___?___ Riewoldt Castagna

Am I doing this right?

 

[Dyer'ere]

Yes. TTT. That looks right to me.

[Scoop]

Worst AA side ever.

The perceived staging cost Grimes & Vlastuin. Disgrace.

Luke Ryan, Cam Guthrie & Darcy Two-Dads FFS.

[Dont Argue]

Moore from Collingwood is that ugly, they made him wear a wig for the photo. Nickname must surely be “Lurch”

Vlastuin and Grimes not being selected a bigger travesty than Dusty not making it last year.
Best defence in the league by a huge margin and yet no representation? Weird.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Not enough Supercoach points.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Darcy Byrne-Jones.

Lol.

It’s like rewinding the clock and watching Woewodin win the Brownlow

 

[Dyer'ere]

(Horlin Smith is Two Dads.)

I have been arguing for five years that Guthrie is Geelong's best player, what with the the fast running and all.

Relax everyone. Like I posted yesterday, there's really only one indisputable AFL award. It's for the champion team; not some group of shmuck's notion of a set of 'best' players.

I'd call it ... incentive. For us to respond in kind a little over a month from here. And remember that famous old saying about opinions - they're like "smile", everyone's got one.

Premierships are historical facts that are the true measure and undeniable memory of AFL lore. That's what we are about. Focus.

Luke Ryan, Cam Guthrie & Darcy Two-Dads FFS.

Agree Scoop. There are obviously a few who are well deserved (Dusty) but fair dinkum it‘s easily the worst AA side I can recall. Add Taylor Adams, Caleb Daniel, Natanui, Shepherd to that list.

And quite frankly I’m sick of the hype around Lachie Neale. Just a Tom Mitchell clone. So *smile* what if he get 40 touches a game. Most of them go 3 metres and half go backwards.

*smile* I hope we slap them again.

Almost. But you have to get Dangerfield in there for any legitimacy for your selections. Whack him on the HHF and you'd have nailed it I reckon.

[Tiger Rob]

Meh, it’s a boys club for the also rans. 20 years time.....Clangerfield All Australian a bazillion times. Castagna 5 x premiership player. One coulda, one actually did.

 

[Tigers of Old]

I've never understood why the AA team gets picked before the Grand Final. Surely finals performances count for double?

Not enough Supercoach points.

It is stats driven Dyer’rrrrr.
As ‘old man Fagan ‘ looks into his stats book , we don’t do stats at Tigerland.

And then make him ‘Capitano El Dangerdive.
