    AA Squad.

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

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

    Those numbers are uncannily similar.

    I don't get the impression Crozier is as highly rated by neutrals as he is on here. He doesn't often post amazing numbers so you have to actually watch our games to notice him.

    I wouldn't say a surprise. He's had a great season but I don't knew if he's been in the 40 best players in the league this year.

    The Three Musketeers have made themselves impossible to ignore in the last two months.

    His numbers were low for the first 5 matches, not half the season.

    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.

    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.
