Dogs in Dream Team squads

[LostDoggy]

Morris won't get a game. He's nowhere near a sexy enough name (sorry DG 38). You don't think players for this are going to be chosen strictly on merit do you? Lloyd's barely played for a year and done bugger all this year, but he'll be there on the day.

I tried to tell my family that Dale would get picked for the squad and they wouldn't have any of it, so I'm just happy that he was picked for that...I doubt he'll get a game, like you said, these games are about flash and that's just not him.

I was also really pleased he was picked DG, as I was when he made the Australian squad vs Ireland - hes a great footballer and even when he plays a down game, his commitment and application to the task are incredible.

Not that I give a stuff who in the squads but some of the picks are ridiculous. You can see Sheedy has gone for mates in a couple of instances.
Hille & Fraser surely aren't the two best VIC rucks.
Stanton is an obvious Sheedy pick.
There are few media hyped Pies players - Shaw, Swan, Davis & Thomas.
What has Alwyn Davey done to deserve a game?

He' sooooooo exciting

He' sooooooo exciting

...for his handful of touches.

He will get a game, mark my words. There will be a high Indigenous player ratio, or the AFL would be RACISTS!

I wonder how much influence Sheedy has over Thompson's selections, being his old boss. Players like Davey are Sheedy esque for the style he's chosen for the International Rules.

Perhaps he's trying to generate a legit gameplan that involves forward pressure which Davey provides in spades. (just for discussion sake) Instead of just choosing the seemingly best players.
