No Crozier is a surprise. Glad Dunks made it, was worried Bevo may have cost him wasting him for half the season.
The curse is dead.

Re: AA Squad.
Very West Coast and Brisbane heavy, although not unexpected. Crozier would have been very close to our fourth nomination.

Re: AA Squad.
Those numbers are uncannily similar.

Re: AA Squad.
15 goals 25 behinds, he really needs to work on that

You hit the nail on the head, the people picking the squad don't watch all the games, and certainly wouldn't be watching us.
Just like the rising star, the system is flawed.

I was exaggerating a little, first 6 games.
He would have been handy in the guts in the losses to Pies, GC, Carlton and Freo and who knows he could have finished top 4.
But hey, whats done is done and lets just beat the Giants.

Happy for Jack to get some recognition in a crowded field for midfield spots.

The depth of quality midfielders is just amazing now

Re: AA Squad.
Finally Macrae gets some recognition.
TBH I'm a little baffled Zorko didn't get a spot - no 1 player in the competition for metres gained. Ben Brown unlucky too, although Hawkins has much better assist numbers. Still, being the KPF for the top team doesn't seem as difficult as a kicking more goals in a rebuilding side.

Slightly unrelated ...
I don't know why this pleases me but it does.

He should go surfing in his AA blazer.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
