Sam Fisher has been doing crap all.. Fletcher has to be in there

[ossie85]

My certainties for the team so far are:

Hodge, Goddard, Ablett, Chapman, Sandilands, Pavlich and Judd.

[kazam]

I would think Michael Barlow has to pop in their somewhere. I haven't been studying it all year, but just to do it quickly, ill post my team below.

[ossie85]

C: Bartel, Montagna, Barlow
HF: Chapman, Riewoldt, Pavlich
F: Thomas, Brown, Milne
Foll: Sandilands, Ablett, Judd

[HillHero13]

Brown!?

You guys have short memories! How good was Jonathan Brown in the first 5 or 6 weeks?  I'll admit that if he doesn't come back well, he won't make the team - and will be replaced at full forward by either Franklin, Pods or Hall. But this was for the first half the year, not predicted!

Fletcher's been overrated this year Hilly, has had a lot of goals kicked against him, and keeps getting suspended.

Jack Riewoldt would have to be one of the front runners at the moment. To be ontop of the Coleman in the bottom side is a huge effort. He is my All-Australia full forward.

[ossie85]

Yeah, I have Jackaroo in my team but at CHF. All about team balance I'm trying to find :)

[ossie85]

40 people make the All-Aus short list.... 12 Defenders, 12 Forward, 16 midfield/ruck

So, my nominations? Several players unlucky to miss out (Enright, Milne) - and I've tried to base it on a number of stats - contested possession, 1%ers, tackles and such.

Backs
Dustin Fletcher
Sam Gilbert
Brendon Goddard
Luke Hodge
James Kelly
Brian Lake
Nick Malceski
Darren Milburn
Dale Morris
Chris Newman
Harry O'Brien
Harry Taylor

Midfielders/Ruck
Gary Ablett
Jimmy Bartel
Matthew Boyd
Daniel Cross
Nick Dal Santo
Lenny Hayes
Mark Jamar
Darren Jolly
Chis Judd
Leigh Montagna
Scott Pendlebury
Matthew Priddis
Aaron Sandilands
Joel Selwood
Andrew Swallow
Dane Swan

Forwards
Eddie Betts
Paul Chapman
Alan Didak
Lance Franklin
Adam Goodes
Brad Green
Barry Hall
Steve Johnson
Mark LeCras
Matthew Pavlich
Jack Riewoldt
Dale Thomas

So if you disagree with any particular player, have a yell! And nominate a player to replace.

Mumford over Jolly by a fair margin... Jolly had a slow start to the year and Mumford has been in red hot form for the majority of the year...

[ossie85]

Mumford v Jolly
Games: 17 v 17
Average Kicks: 3.8 v 6.5
Average Handballs: 9.2 v 6.0
Average Disposals: 13.0 v 12.4
Average Marks: 2.4 v 4.9
Scoring: 3.3.21 v 17.7.99
Average Tackles: 4.8 v 2.3
Average Hit-Outs: 26.0 v 21.7

Very close stats wise - what pips Jolly over Mumford is his marking and goal-scoring. 17 goals versus 3 is significant.

[Boomz]

hm... to me it seems that Mummy has more Impact on games but I see where your coming from too so it is pretty close actually.
