I'm not sure that I could come up with a better side mind you but John Anthony seems out of place.

I thought the same thing but looking at his goals in each game he's done surprisingly well recently

Re: Picken, AA?

I thought Mark LeCras would be the one people jumped on. It was him or Eddie Betts.

Re: Picken, AA?

Lecras has been very very good this year. I wouldn't have Anthony either. Think he'd get lost with JB and Riewoldt in the same fwd line.

I'd have Akermanis ahead of Anthony and LeCras. Perhaps I'm a little biased though.

No Cross ??

Cross is nowhere near AA this year. His start to the year was pretty poor imo.
I don't think he'd get into the AA 2nds.

I think you missed KT's subtle query about Sockeye's lovechild (he even named his son Daniel).

Sorry, subtelty's not my forte, nor looks or charm

Re: Picken, AA?

Is it just me or according to the so called experts we will have not 1 player in the AA Team this year. I have notice most commentators that have done AA Teams do not have any doggies players

I noticed that too, but its hard to disagree with them.

I think Higgins deserves a spot in the forwardline, last I checked he was number one for average goal/score assists. Gets over 20 touches a game, kicks plenty of goals and is silky. I think he has been better than Rioli or Le Cras and other talked of small forwards.

[Sockeye Salmon]

Re: Picken, AA?

There hasn't been a better shutdown small defender than Ryan Hargrave.

Goddard and Drummond play the distributor role that Gilbee/Harbrow play but Hargrave, despite getting plenty of it and using it well, very rarely gets burnt by a small forward.

I can't think of one who has been better this year.

I think Lake would be in the mix as a tall defender as well, but I could understand Scarlett, Gilbert and Bock getting the gig.

I'm happy we are too much of a team to get All-Australians.
