Rioli  ???

no Armo?  ???

[Jay]

No Talia? :o

[AaronKirk]

Armo was an interesting omission. Unlucky.

Cyril has had an excellent year and probably deserves to be in the 40 man squad but IMO will miss out to Betts and Wingard in the 22.

Luke Hodge to me is a big omission. I thought he would be a lock in the AA team. Maybe the drink driving incident pushed him out of the team.

[AaronKirk]

No Talia? :o

Rance, McGovern, Hurley IMO have had better years than him. Ibbotson probably could have made way in the squad.

Questionable: Ibbotson, Gunston, Rioli.

Left out? Armo and Steven, Enright?

You also left out no reps for Melbourne.

That was tough, few stiff to miss out. Can't decide on Cameron or Tex and Gunston or Stringer.

[kilbluff1985]

anyone surprised Houli not in it?

[_wato]

Questionable - Ibbo, Gunston, Rioli yes but also Burgoyne and Hill? McGovern? Hardly played enough games, and even Jack Riewoldt or Jordan Lewis? I question that.

Armo, Jacobs, Talia, Hodge, Houli, even Steven or Bernie Vince deserve it over those named above in my opinion, plus more.

[LF]

McGovern has played 17 games plenty to be there,you don;t have to have played all 22 games to be there.

[Vinny]

Ibbotson only really surprising one for me. Gunston and JRoo have had great years.

Armo and Hodge stiff.

[meow meow]

FWIW

FB: Laird, Rance, Shaw
HB: Mitchell, Hurley, Boyd
C: Hannebery, Fyfe, Gaff
HF:  Deledio, Walker (C), Gray
FF: Betts, JJ.Kennedy, Wingard
R: Goldstein, Priddis, Dangerfield
I/C: Neale, Swan, JP.Kennedy, Naitanui

Wood has been heaps better than Boyd this year. Should be an AA lock. Will probably get Bonted though.

[Toga]

Armitage, Hodge, Steven, Houli, Talia and Vince all a bit stiff, but you can't include everyone I suppose!
