2016 All Australian team

[RaisyDaisy]

Jenkins and Lynch shouldn't be in

Both been very good, but not AA.

Zerrett, NROO, Gray, Zorko and Cripps all stiff to miss out

As a WCE supporter, JJK and Shuey would be the two locks

I think a lot of people forget that Priddis and Gaff we're quiet, well below their best for the first half of the season more or less so I don't think either would be in if it was me picking, but most people use their recent memory (2nd half of season) to make these calls which is humanly understandable, albeit not right

60 goals from Jenkins is nothing to be sneezed at and I feel he deserves his spot in the 40 (probably not the final 22 though).

I would have NRoo ahead of both Lynch (crows) and Gunston. I feel these 2 guys are only in the squad because the selectors wanted some mid sized forwards in there to balance all the big forwards.

Agree with Jenkins, he deserves a spot in the squad.

I think what hurt Cripps/Gibbs was Carlton's second half fade out on the year. Gibbs probably wins our B&F and was considered a lock after his first half of the season, I think the recency bias probably sees him miss out after he and the team slowed down. It's fair enough when you look at it like that, but Cripps also leads the league in clearances and contested possessions per game.

Anyway, this is the 22 I came up with.

Shaw, Rance, Rampe
Doc, Tarrant, Simmo
Hanners, Selwood (C), Sloane
Buddy, Lynch, Parker
Cyril, JJK, Betts
Gawn, Pendles (VC), Danger
Steven, Neale, Dusty, Bont

The only change I might consider is Tarrant for Talia but I think Tarrant's form was too good early to ignore.

Rampe, JPK, Parker, Buddy and Hanners got in
