Richard Douglas, Jack Steven, Josh Kennedy (Syd) making it ahead of Libba is simply laughable. There's others that are questionable also.
Josh Kennedy has had a very poor year, they must have selected him on last years form..

Have a look at the forward line. 6 key forwards in the squad when in reality you need just Cameron and Roughead. Riewoldt doesn't deserve to be there and the Eagles Josh Kennedy is very lucky

Daniel Wells gets in over Libba?
I guess after years of underachieving any decent return is a breakout. His season stats are comparable with Luke Dahlhaus and he didn't get a mention as being a contender.

Sam Mitchell!???!!?.
He has had an average year.
I may have missed someone, but am I right in saying Big Wilbur is the only ruck to be named in the squad?

Goldstein.
Insulting Libba has not made the cut. Surprised Andrew Walker didn't get in the 40 either.
If Libba played for Collingwood/Essendon/Carlton he'd be talked about as a Brownlow smokey...
So when Carlton meet Richmond this week in the elimination final, how much are the commentators going to mention that both teams make the finals and neither has a representative??

As Maddog37 suggests on stats Will should clearly get the spot.
A lot of knock on Will is his lack of influence around the ground, but he has had more possesion, more clearances and more tackles to go with more hitouts.
He trails by just over 1 mark per game but is only 0.1 per game behind in contested marks.
The footy wire site doesn't give hotouts to advantage but I believe this is the area that Will is most dominant.
While you can never be certain of anything when it comes to the selectors, Will is clearly the best ruckman of 2013.
