2025 All Australian Team

[Mantis]

We have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th on the goalkicking table all listed in the squad... I wonder who is missing?

Naughton was never going to get close given dickhead is on the panel.

Skimmed over this, came back to it. Riley West is missing?
They can't be serious, I have West well ahead of Naughton in terms of being stiff. And ahead of Libba.

[Rusty12]

Josh Daicos nah, no thanks.
Long, has barley impacted a game since the bye.
Rankine is there on name, his season does not deserve it.

[FrediKanoute]

I think both Naughts and West should have been in the squad.

Given the poorer teams were so terrible this year, I thought I would have a look at how the KPFs faired against the top nine sides:

Naughton - 1.7 goals per game
King - 1.7 goals per game
Georgiadis - 2.1 goals per game
Gunston - 2.1 goals per game
Thilthorp - 2.2
Cameron - 2.5 goals per game
Darcy - 2.7 goals per game (after seven games - so this could count for or against him, and I reckon his zero goal performance against Fremantle and eight week absence will condemn him to missing out)

Gunston has had an amazing year, what a return for an old fart rookie!

Im ok with Naughton missing.

He had a really underwhelming first half of the season, and while he was good enough in the second half he isnt getting picked ahead of like 6 other key forwards, and you can only name 3.

After 5 AA nominations, theres more evidence of top end quality on our team.

Champion data (flawed as it may or may not be) has released its top 10 players for 2025 and we have the top 3 as well as 4 of the top 10.

1. Bont
2. Darcy
3. Richards
6. Dale

How many playing positional changes that resulted in All Australian selections can we think of that outdo Beveridge's move of Boyd and Dale to defence for four in total? Caleb Daniel into a defensive playmaker as well for five?

If Richards makes is as a midfielder this year then that's pretty bloody good going..............

There you go. Six AAs from moves most of us didn't really see coming (outside of maybe Ed Richards going into the midfield).

He gets a bit of shit for some of his moves (i.e. Wood to the forward line), but they're great results.

Wood to Forward lasted half a game, so not really a move.

It was a move. Wasn't a great one, but it's fine.

[Bornadog]

How does Thilthorpe get AA FF, when guys like Ben King and Naughton kicked more than him?

Picket great player (40 goals) but how does he get in compared to Jamie Elliot (52)

[jeemak]

Versatile bench with Daicos, Bont, Rowell and Serong!

I'm a bit surprised with the integrity of the selection panel putting Dale and Richards in the actual team.
