    Fair enough on Bonts imo, didn't really believe any of our players deserved a spot in the All-Aus team this year. Personally, I would've had Kreuzer over Ryder as first ruck and both in the 22 but Daniher has done some rucking so I can understand them not picking a 2nd ruck. Looking at the 22, Selwood is the only club captain, so I probably would've made him captain of the team if he's in the 22, although I don't really think he should've been in the 22 to begin with as I thought other mids were better over the course of the season. Rest of the team looks fair enough.

    I loved what Bont did this year and his great games were amazing, but, he had too many down games to be considered.
    Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

    Being biased, I think Macrae should have been considered.

    Its always a strange team selected - they simultaneously overly reward reputation (Selwood), and past performance (Betts) whilst deciding new players should be selected (Hibberd, MCrouch, Docherty)
