All Australian squad of 40

Re: All Australian squad of 40

Caleb is a freak. AA at his size is almost incomprehensible.

No genuine wings. One genuine small/mid forward. Team of midfielders. Also, Dixon ain’t a CHF. However who is a a genuine CHF? Does the position exist anymore?

Re: All Australian squad of 40

Congrats to all the guys, especially Caleb what a story he is. We are very lucky to have him in our side, and I'm sure all those that passed on the chance are now regretting it.

Had to hide him on the bench so no one on the imaginary opposition could take him to the goalsquare.

He'd get exposed in that team. Particularly against the Irish.

Great to have 3 in the side. Well done fellas.

It's funny how defender positions are strictly for defenders who defend with rigour, but once you cross the half back line it's anarchy!

Happy to have three in the side, each player deserved to be in it.

Re: All Australian squad of 40

I know, I know it's the AFL but seriously what a dumb side.

Three actual forwards in the entire lineup, two solo ruckmen who don't play anywhere else, no wingers, nobody in the midfield or forwardline with actual genuine pace excluding Ryan and virtually no recognition of one of the hardest roles in the league to play; the high pressure, pacy, goalkicking small forward. It reads like a supercoach side where you have just crammed in as many mids as possible.

Plus the captain isn't a captain.

I'd be more than happy to have Danger, Dusty and the Bont in my forward line ahead of most other forwards in the league.

Damo on the Mitch Wallis bandwagon:

IF ...
a 24-goal return from a forward pocket from 17 matches may not at first look seem sufficient enough for All-Australian consideration ...

THEN ...
a deeper study of how, and when, those goals were kicked would be cause for a rethink. Reckon Mitch Wallis should've been in the 22, and certainly the squad of 40.

Agree. I don't mind the likes of Danger, Dusty, Bont, Petracca or Fyfe being named there as they all spend time forward (some more than others) and all are elite when they play there. This is different to plonking a full time mid on the half forward flank as they have in the past.

Yeah not a captain of an AFL side, he's the captain of the AFL!

Geelong teammates: Sorry Danger, you're not one of our best 3 this year.
AFL: Chin up Danger, have an AA spot and screw it, here's the captaincy for good measure.

And therefore....
