      For what its worth I'll have a crack. I can't believe Jolly was named in the squad ahead of Hudson. I think Michael Barlow should have been named in the squad.

      B: Dustin Fletcher - Brian Lake - Corey Enright
      HB: Brendan Goddard - Harry Taylor - Luke Hodge
      C: Leigh Montagna - Dane Swan - Scott Pendlebury
      HF: Brad Green - Lance Franklin - Alan Didak
      F: Mark Le Cras - Jack Reiwoldt - Barry Hall
      R: Aaron Sandilands - Chris Judd - Gary Ablett
      Int: Mark Jamar - Andrew Swallow - Brent Harvey - David Mundy

        Very much so but it would be a hard argument to drop Sandilands, Jamar or Jolly from the group.

          Harbrow getting injured probably cost him a spot in the squad.

            He only missed three games. I thought he would be in. Malthouse named him as his Brownlow pick early in the year.

              Me too and I was surprised not to see me in there.

                When they pick these they tend to forget about the first few games of the year..

                Which explains Goodes Constantly getting picked.

                Barlow was brillant for his 14 games, Goodes maybe 7 or 8.

                Overall a pretty good list though, few unluckys would be Thomas, Jack, Gilbert, Griffen

                  Heard a news report over here that there were no Power or Crows in the squad and that is the first time since '97 that it has happened. Thought that was interesting seeing the Crows won the Premiership that year.

                  I think that just goes to illustrate it's nature, you really can't read too much into it. Unfortunately reputations/celebrity mean some are a walkup selection. Barlow would be almost leading the Brownlow when he got injured and missed about the same amount of games that the whole Hawthorn team (including Buddy) were awful for at the start of the year.

                  An afterthought (given the circumstances) if Franklin is picked will it forever taint the honour?

                        If it goes on the year and not past, Hall should get in before Franklin.

                          Yeah, I thought he'd be our next pick after Lake. I know his possessions aren't that of a Midfielder but defense is more than stats.

                            Cross, Griffen and Hudson all deserve AA ahead of Boyd.

                              Given this will be announced tomorrow night, does anyone want to stick their neck out & have a crack at guessing the AA team?
