Anyone think that Barlow is a bit stiff to miss

Imagine Hitler if lecras doesn't make the final team this year.

I think Malceski will get in ahead of Frawley and Fletcher, and I think Swallow might be a rough chance to make the bench as well ahead of Mundy.

B: Frawley, Lake, Rawlings
HB: Hodge, Enright, Goddard
C: Selwood, Swan, Montagna
HF: Chapman, Franklin, Harvey
F: Didak, J. Reiwoldt, LeCras
R: Sandilands, Boyd, Ablett
Int: Judd, Pendlebury, Swallow

Rawlings gets that spot over Deledio since he's more versatile and can play a shut down role. For the same reason Boyd earns his spot since he can nullify players.
I can't see another decent ruckman wothy of AA this year so Sandi is the only ruck.
J. Reiwoldt and LeCras are auto inclusions for what they have achieved considering the teams they play in.
Judd gets in over Cooney. The last two spots on the bench could really go to any of Pendlebury, Swallow, Hayes or Cross but in my opinion Pendlebury has had a slightly better season. Swallow gets it because he plays in a struggling team with very little support in the midfield and has still had a stellar season.
Goddard, Chapman, Hodge, Swan, Ablett, Franklin, Didak, Sandi and Lake are all walk up inclusions... it was just a question of where.

Unlucky to miss out: Cross, Pav, Hayes and another ruckman.

Frawley has done a hell of a job this year. Would be stiff if he misses out. Held the young Melbourne defence together with pretty good effect.

Swallow has been great but in a year of dominating midfielders. Reckon he should get in myself but that's just me. Both him and Mundy have got to be roughies to make it considering the other midfielders involved.

He only played 13 games. 13 great games and the injury is a shame, but not stiff.
