    Re: 2023 AFL All Australian Team

    You cant be looking into the rear view mirror to select a 2023 AA team. Tex and Toby might not be all time great guys but they have had impressive seasons. Is Bruest a fountain of youth selection? I just checked and he has kicked 47 goals this year.

    Why do you think Ablett is not in the Hall of fame?

    I think you need to look at the Character of a person not just their football ability - maybe it is just my bias.

    HOF nominations are over a career. AA selection is specific to 2023 form and not much else unless you can share on what factors into it? Anyway arent you challenging him as the captain more than making the final squad?

    I want Bont to be captain because he's Bont, but on the other hand making Greene captain would wake the sleeping Triggerati and I am here for it.

    Having seen who's on the panel I've got no doubt it will be Greene.
    Probably deserved. We need to credit people who have bettered themselves.

    Have you ever seen Bont stick his elbow into someone's neck while the player is lying on their back - bit like what Greene did to Duryea at Ballarat. A Tiger never changes its stripes.

    From reports. Libba is not at the AA event, so it sounds like he has missed out on a spot in the team.

    And MVP!

    Well done Bont on an amazing season. Probably the only one who can hold their head high.
