Pick your All Australian team to the mid point of the season. Mine is

FB: S.Docherty, M.Hurley, R.Laird
HB: Z.Williams, A.Rance, E.Yeo
C: J.Kelly, P.Dangerfield, R.Sloane
HF: T.Greene, J.Cameron, R.Gray
FF: E.Betts, J.Kennedy, L.Franklin
R: S.Mumford, J.Selwood (C), D.Martin

Int: T.Mitchell, R.Tarrant, M.Bontempelli, S.Pendlebury

Very hard task this year

Reckon your team is near perfect, except not entirely convinced Gray is in AA form. Every other player easily justifiable

Who are the other close ones that missed out?

Off the top of my head Zerrett, McGovern and Cotchin come to mind but I wouldn't drop any of your selected for them

Maybe Gov for Tarrant ;)

My main headache was picking one of Z.Williams, Roberton or Howe for a half back flank.

Could have put a goal kicking mid at half forward in Grays place but tried to pick players in position and think Gray has been good as a stay at home forward. Been very quiet at times but has also kicked bags and always looks like scoring when the ball goes near him.

A lot of mids to pick from as always and plenty stiff to miss out. McGovern could easily slip in to Tarrants spot, was a tough call ;)

Jake Lloyd?  Been super consistent in an under performing Swans team bar his concussion game.

Good to see Ebert being recognised elsewhere, having an absolute blinder of a season and is surely in serious consideration.

Dick Reynolds won the Brownlow when he was 19 years and 91 days old. Oliver is a bit slow out of the blocks.

And Libba snr had played just 18 games before his Brownlow winning season.

Big Mac

He's got a good point Purps
