The All-Un-Australian Team 2020

[Bullarto Tiger]

It's a disgrace that Grimes and Vlastuin have missed selection. Boneheaded selectors.
And to think that Diverfield has been named captain ... now, that's laughable.

 

[Spirit of Jack]

Erm...AA Selectors you might want to look at this...(HUN)

and Dusty couldn't even make it as a midfielder- they had to hide him in the forward pocket ffs.

If the AA selectors were selecting the best Australian cricket team of all time they'd have McGrath as first drop, Bradman at number 11 and four keepers.

Well I'm going to go buck the trend and say that I believe Patrick Dangerfield is the obvious choice as captain. ....

No other player in the competition has consistently shown the marked improvement in all areas of his technique as Patrick has...

This year the panel has seen the work he has done to refine his performance and has quite justifiably given it a score of 8.0.... up from last years monumentally underrated 7.0. thus leading to his ascension on the podium.

Unfortunately for Patrick, his triple somersault with half pike twist in the 2019 preliminary final could not be included in last seasons score, but in this Covid era season, the committee deemed it as a particularly special effort requiring due recognition. And so it was.

I expect Patrick to take these learnings into 2021 where we are sure to see even more spectacular aerial gymnastics propelling him to the 1st score of 9.0.

Congratulations Patrick, what a fine champion you have become!

weird team. don't know half the names, and appears to be a lot of good names missing.

If Aussies rules was an international sport , and there was a test series or a World Cup to be played in a highly competitive nature ,

you would see more tigers in there , when real games have to be won , and you want the players with the proven record who stand up in the heat of battle , it’s a different selection process than patting people on the back for having a nice season

Caleb Daniel?? Taylor Adams??

 

[eZyT]

Jeez thats an ordinary side.

It's almost like an encouragement award this year.

The All Australian team should be the team you'd pick to win a Grand Final. Too much emphasis on stats.

 

[Tiger Rob]

Too much emphasis on stats.

Yes, as many of us have speculated, the "experts" don't seem to watch many games and just go from the stats sheets. The journo's and experts all need to be sacked and get some people in with an actual passion for the game. They might actually watch it then and give us some insight.

Since when has the old codger been part of the selection committee?

Maybe.
Or they will still go with the beautiful looking ‘book of Fagan stats’.

I know I’m hard on Old man Fagan.

 

[zippadeee]

Did they select Gawn because he tried hard this year? He was useless

Not sure why Bomtmytelly got selected he was mr invisible in half of the games i saw Footscary play in.

You know its a joke when Grimes isn't in that backline.
Should we send them the tape of the Geelong game, Footscary game, Brisbane game, Collingwood game.

Delete the thread. My blood pressure is sky high

Get ready for the dribble on Fridey night.
Someone should have the balls to call out 'Arrr Shut Up' as soon as he mentions any numbers.

Idea.

Forget stats.

Look at each position on the field and select the best’ player for that position.

Don’t select a ‘bunch’ of midfielders’ for the sake of it and place them on the wing, HFF.

Another suggestion.
The selection need a overhall.
Have past greats in the position that they were great in, won accolades in their field, not necessarily Brownlow winners but multiple B & F winners, proven big game players, big game finals player ( if they played ) but truly respected Hall of Fame etc.

Gun in their position.

Backman
Centreman
Winger
Ruckman
Forward

Just an idea & thought.

Why is Hocking & Gill part of this?
No commentators.

Thoughts???

After the Tiges win the GF there should be a game arranged between this mob (excluding Dustin) and Richmond.
It would show up this exercise for the farce that it is.
