    Well done to our 3, Bont & Daniel locks IMO. Macrae should also get in, but probably a bench spot most likely.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Re: All Australian squad of 40

    I like this squad, there are a lot of terrific players that tend to fly under the radar

    Sheppard, Steele, Vlastuin, Byrne-Jones, Jonas and Maynard for starters seem to be under appreciated by others outside of their own supporters

    Is Taberner a bit on the lucky side?

    Butters is going to be a really good player but that’s a ridiculous selection.

    Players for the final 22 should be picked for the position they play. Extras can go on the bench.

    I really hate when they can't decide and for example put in two talls in the FF and FP, or Bontempelli on the wing.

    Haynes has had a terrible last six weeks.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Is no Cripps a surprise? I haven't seen a lot of the Blues this season.

    Looks like he's been carrying a niggle all year. Wasn't voted as one of the Blues 3 MVP candidates by his own playing group, either.

    A down year for sure.

    Pretty sure he is already gone in for surgery - I think shoulders, but could be wrong

    I thought Libba has done well.

    They should pick the team on who plays best in that position not just because they've had a good year.

    No surprise at all.

    Some of the more notable omissions are: May, Whitfield, Goldstein, Saad, Duncan.

    I've always been a huge Vlastuin fan. He's a gun and very underrated.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?
