QuoteHas anyone noticed how well Hayden Ballantyne has been going lately?

He's been going well, not sure if he's All Australian though

There are really only 3 candidates

Luke Breust
Jamie Elliot
Hayden Ballantyne

There are others, such as Betts, Rioli and Wingard.

Then there are also the ones which do more than just kick goals like McGlynn, Zorko and Robbie Gray who are in my opinion more deserving

Gray? he still kicks goals but prob spends to much time in the middle but he would be my first pick

valkorum · June 23, 2014, 07:25:49 PM

Balla's does a hell of a lot more than just kick goals. How many small forwards can say they have smothered a kick in? I would consider Gray as a HFF

Mailman the 2nd · June 23, 2014, 07:32:41 PM

Yes he does more than kick goals, but a simple comparison in stats show that others have been more effective this year.

Ballantyne is pretty important to Freo for their chances in finals though
