Totally agree.
Martin will make it.
Grimes and Big V should be in it.
Bolton. Should make the top 40.
Castagna. Should be captain.
Ridiculous as this may sound. ... I would love us to win the flag with ZERO AA representation this year....
☆ Stamps us once and for all as the truly great team and club we have become.
☆ Lays to rest the notion the manner in which it's 'selected' and the level of incompetence of some selectors.
Bit mean spirited, but I couldn't give a rats tossbag if Dangerfield retires with 15 AA's and 6 Brownlows... and that's all..... he deserves it!

We don't have many infallible candidates. Martin probably gets in as a forward.
Balta unlikely, they don't like to pick young blokes nowadays until they're established. Grimes may be a chance for one of the key posts or even a back pocket, given his ability to defend smalls. Up against Andrews/Moore/May for the tall spots and Haynes for a pocket. Weitering and Jonas outside chances. Surely they won't give Luke Ryan a gig...
Robbo has been pushing Short up but I think Vlastuin has been the more influential player, and just as consistent. For some reason he seems to polarise the media - refer Buckenara's infamous assessment of "C grade" in October. I'd have Daniel locked in as one of the running backs, with our blokes up against the likes of Maynard, Lloyd, Laird and maybe Byrne-Jones and Saad for the other spots.
Reckon Dusty and one other would be par, but we have the good team/prime time advantage that saw Edwards and Houli get in as surprise selections recently.

Martin to get in because he's the best player in the AFL and because the selectors don't want to look like idiots ever again when it comes to Dusty.
Flossy is the one that deserves it most in our squad. Mr Dependable. Just does it week in week out and does it bloody well. Last bad game I saw him play was probably the 1st Q of the 2017 Grand Final, but he made up for that in the other 3 quarters.

Couldn't agree more with this.
I used to get so angry when we'd beat Freo by 104 points and Nat Fyfe would get 3 votes.
Now I love it.
Winning games with no player getting 20 possessions is an incredible achievement. Beating sides while Cotch and Dusty phone it in and the 2nd tier step up is so satisfying, and frightening for every other club.
I forget who they were playing, but very recently Lachie Neale was standing underneath a bouncing ball directly over his head. He needed to jump for it and knew that pressure was coming immediately and he'd get tackled. He grabbed the ball, his only interest being that he could MAYBE get a possession and pad out his disposal numbers. It was so obvious. It's why they will never beat us.
Quiz: what would every single tiges player do in that situation?
We could not be less interested in individual stats, individual awards or individual recognition.
And I reckon it's driven by Dusty. Premierships? goooooood. Brownlows? Only if I have to*
*Not a direct quote
Definitely the Big V, although will depend who's on the selection committee. If any of the bozos who slagged him off for staging is on the committee, then he has no hope. That aside, if they take into account a "body of work", then his form in 2019/20 will make him a shoe in. All of that aside, Tom Stewart is the new Corey Enright so he'll get in before Flossy.
Dusty is an interesting one. Clearly the best player in the AFL, but has he had an outstanding H&A season? Probably not. I think the Dustman would be prouder of his 2 Gary Ayers Medals (and counting) for best player in a finals series than AAs. He's gone past AAs, he has a few, that'll do him. Gary Ayers Medals, Norm Smths and premiership medallions are what he's hunting.
Little known clause in AA criteria - any player deemed by media to be serial stagers are not eligible for selection.
I've never paid attention to AA. Bunch of made up rubbish. Flags the only thing that counts.
Listening to the commentators last night and assume Daniel is a lock for an AA backline position. Essentially he plays a HBF, albeit as an almost entirely loose man. You rarely see him in a one on one contest with a forward. He is the dogs go to playmaker now. If he and Stewart get an AA nod in front ofGrimes/Vlas it will be a travesty. At the least a defender should be able to play some form of defence. Baker is a midget but he plays man on man defence when he has to.
2 of Grimes/Vlas/Baker should be in. All 3 would be in mine. And I'd have Balta too. And perhaps Houli. And DTLD.

It's a joke.
3 from Fremantle? Fyfe maybe but the other 2? Surprised Hogan didn't make it.
Flossy will be the only one likely to get in, but if we win the flag who gives a rats?
Actually I think Short was hard done by in not making the squad. He’s had a very good year.
