Yes couldn’t agree more. Mitch and Libba are and have always been in our best 22
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

He embodies the Bulldog spirit.

Mitch is as tough as teak and I'm wrapped that he's gotten to 150 games. Great stuff and congratulations Wally.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Congratulations Mitch Wallis - 150 Games
Interesting that he is only 1 goal behind Papley and has as many goals as Liam Ryan. Butler and Charlie Cameron are ahead by 3 and 2 goals respectively.
I certainly think Ryan should be in the AA team....and up until recently though Papley would be in considerations....but just say Mitch kicks 4 or 5 this year - is there a sneaky chance he gets included in the AA squad of 40 if he has finishes ahead of all other small forwards?

Let’s not forget the two shots on goal Mitch missed through the blood rule as well. They were certainties for him.

I think he's a shoe in for the squad of 40 and might even sneak into the actual team. The commentary team highlight his performance every game it seems, he's definitely being noticed.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

He won't get in because the selectors are biased. One year Dickson kicked more goals than Betts, but Betts was chosen. They have preconceived ideas on who should get in and they stick with it.

The AA team is almost as big of a rort as the NAB Rising Star is.

I think not winning the rising star is more encouraging than winning it.

The AA squad, the MRO, the rising star, the umpires - it's just one big conspiracy against us! Don't be surprised if we are forced to play wearing backpacks full of bricks this week.

Re: Congratulations Mitch Wallis - 150 Games
Mitch has had a great year but should absolutely not be in the All Australian side.
