2011 All-Australian team - Mark 1

B: Heath Shaw, Michael Jamison, Matthew Scarlett
HB: Heath Scotland, Dustin Fletcher, Brett Deledio
C: Scott Pendlebury, Jobe Watson, Andrew Embley
HF: Dustin Martin, Buddy Franklin, Stewart Crameri
F: Jeff Garlett, Jack Riewoldt, Adam Goodes
Ruck: Aaron Sandilands, Chris Judd, Dane Swan
Inter: Dean Cox, David Mundy, Sam Mitchell, Brent Moloney

what do u think of this fairly accurate?

[Justin Bieber]

Most seem good but I'm a little iffy on a few.

Jamison, Embley (good but think Martin should go here and another HF gets that spot), Goodes (inconsistent) and maybe Garlett/Crameri borderline.

Honestly, don't know who's had a great season at FB so I'll leave that open.
Change Embley with Martin and I'd like to see perhaps Cloke or Blair get the HFF spot (although Cloke is a CHF, no need to rob him of a spot).
I'd probably put Nahas ahead of Goodes/Garlett as a forward pocket. Stunning start to the season. Maybe even Brennan for a HFF role instead of Crameri (although he's had a great start as well). More options here than in the backs.

Midfield is tough. I'd like Riska to get a bench spot but Moloney has probably got the edge due to playing for a better team.

Crameri's a bit of a stretch! But I see the reasoning. Reckon Ben Reid's been very solid, and Travis Cloke very unlucky.

Too many midfielders on the bench for my liking, and I don't like the three talls down back (Jamison, Scarlett and Fletcher).

Garlett? Pfft. Tough for FP but reckon Nahas/Blair better options, again like HP said.

But nothing horribly bad IMO

[Boomz]

Solid but agree with pretty much everything Ossie said... a lot of it comes down to personal opinion.

crameri isnt anymore of a stretch than blair

also has sam mitchell really been that good?

MTTY, Buddy surely has to be there!

[CrowsFan]

What about FYFE??

[RiOtChEsS]

its always hard to make one of these without stepping on toes :)

imo if an all australian 2nd tier team was made there would still be a why not this guy over that guy its just one of those things :-\

[CrowsFan]

Yeah that's exactly right Marcz. There will always be people who don't get selected and people will complain that they should be in it ahead of others. Just a fact of life ;)

[ossie85]

This is very true!

.... but Buddy is clearly in the best 3 players in the comp right now, and the best forward. Absolute certainty :)

[RiOtChEsS]

as his article stated it was up until that period of time so :-\

funnily enough he has already included Joel Sellwood into his round 14 team on the back of that massive game against the pies ;D

Hard to fit him in but could take Ottens spot and switch with Brennan
