All australian team

^ +1

actually, those players were selected based on polls he put forward...

Is that in favour for me or Tom?

The polls he made had some horrible choices.

[ossie85]

My attempt, some controversy, and will likely be nowhere near it, but anyway....


B: J Gibson, L McPharlin, G Birchall

HB: H Scotland, T Richards, B Deledio

C: H Bennell, J Watson, D Beams

HF: R O'Keefe, M Pavlich, S Johnson

F: S Milne, L Franklin, T Hawkins

Foll: I Maric, G Ablett, T Cotchin

I: S Thompson, R O'Keefe, D Cox, B Waters


Harley Bennell the most controversial I reckon, but think he's been the best player off the Wing this year.

^^ not a crows fan ossie - Jacobs, Dangerfield, Talia.......

Also stephen Milne ??? surely a beta small fwd around.

bennell is a gun ;D

Danger hurt me the most leaving him out, Jacobs won't get in ahead of Maric, Cox or Nic Nat.

McPharlin, Gibson, Richards deserve the plaudits over Talia - who will be a champion.

Good to see you Rhys O'Keefe impressed you so much after only 1 game Os ;)

i like that team ossie :) looks on the money!

only thing i might change is a swap of danger for stevie-j...

i also agree that maric and cox have been superior to jacobs this year and that talia, while good, is not AA standard yet!

Mostly good picks. But too many talls for me, 3 key defeneders, 3 key fwds and 3 rucks. Danger on a flank and Milne/Jetta for a fwd pocket, rok and johnson only small fwds in there and neither have kicked many goals. Dangerfield probably makes it on the bench for another big.

well seeing as he's sitting 6th for most goals for the year, i'd say he's a pretty good choice :P

Danger hurt me the most leaving him out, Jacobs won't get in ahead of Maric, Cox or Nic Nat.

McPharlin, Gibson, Richards deserve the plaudits over Talia - who will be a champion.

Surly got to be joking not having jacobs, clear stand out and has the most hitouts to advantage. Maric has improved but Adelaide would not be any where near the top 4 without Jacobs. Id also agree to have dangerfield the man could win the brownlow.

Cotchin wouldn't be having the season he's having without first-class delivery from mullet ;) don't think you can say jacobs clear stand out, i reckon maric, nicnat and cox will all push for selection

You could argue the same thing about thompson who is one of the number one clearance players in the competition. I'm not saying Maric is a bad ruckman, I just think Jacobs has just had an incredible year. He would probably be one of, if not the most important player at the crows right now.

Maric would be the most important at Richmond, and Cox/Nic Nat the most important at West Coast, Jolly the most important at Collingwood, etc...

Jacobs terrific year, no doubt though

+1 all I'm saying is that Jacobs, while he's had a ripper season, is not a 'clear stand out' because, as ossie said, ruckmen across the competition are probably one the most important players in their teams...

Just a rough idea, can't think of anyone else over Reilly, though he did have a really good start to the year
