Probably fair. Armo was a lock at halfway but corky and then shoulder slowed him down.FQF wrote:St Kilda:

Incorrect spelling.
It's Noone with 2 o's.
He plays for Sandringham. Good effort.

Re: 40 man AA squad
Dempster and Armitage unlucky to miss the squad but not sure either deserved to make the team anyway so it's all academic.

Re: 40 man AA squad
Armitage stiff not to make top 40- would have expected he donate make the team but should be in the best 40 players this year in fairness.

Wowee. Could he 2 years ago? By the way do you ever say anything positive about any player.

Apart you being Armo's auntie why is Steven unlikely. Just about everything shows both are very close.

I don't think either deserve to be in but you obviously do. Who should they replace because there is only 40.

Re: 40 man AA squad
I don't know but Armo was the top possession getter for 95 percent of the season in the whole comp, Steven most tackles and super coach points most of the season so both should have made the extended squad. I don't know what kind of season some other had but a few are there on past reputation as usual.plugger66 wrote:gringo wrote:Armo and Steven lead lots of the stats most of the season very poor not to name them in the extended squad.

Wow. At least you have done a bit of work to come up with all that. Don't know the form but got in on reputation. Armo would have been in for most of the year and Steven would never have been in. I think they pretty much got it right. I do know the form and I cant think of many if any picked on reputation.

Re: 40 man AA squad
Season is over, you can't expect the 14th team to have too many in the top 40 players.
Or the Brownlow, MVP and the plethora of other meaningless awards.
I am certain all of our players and coaches know exactly where the playing group is at; now is the time to analyse the season and start building towards 2016. Lay out the plans, then have a good break and come back looking forward, not backwards.

Jack led the way with tackles whereas armo had more contested possession.
This is a coaches award voting wise and Armo has a clear points advantage in the recorded vote.
Despite this Jack is very popular with the coaches at Saints even being somewhat of a "pet".
Armo is also ahead in media awards but who really knows until Monday night.
Either of them will be a worthy winner having busted their guts for their club and teammates.

Re: 40 man AA squad
Well Jack had the highest fantasy footy total for the whole comp this year. They finished 8 and 9 in total disposals. I think they deserved their spot in at least the extended squad. Every year they put someone in because they always get in. Both our guys had to do a lot more than some of those outside seagulls in smooth moving teams who get cheap outside ball.plugger66 wrote:gringo wrote:I don't know but Armo was the top possession getter for 95 percent of the season in the whole comp, Steven most tackles and super coach points most of the season so both should have made the extended squad.

On players that from the bits I have seen Burgoyne had an okay year but nothing extraordinary, Hawks, Freo and Bulldogs are over represented with guys I wouldn't consider that great.
Re: 40 man AA squad
Well the panel that picks them surely doesn't have anything against our side so I'm sure they would have got in if they were deemed good enough. And I don't think they in the same spot as Burguyne. Whilst its only a squad they would have a certain amount of players in various positions.gringo wrote:Well Jack had the highest fantasy footy total for the whole comp this year.

Re: 40 man AA squad
I summon you to watch more stkilda games before you say that. His kicking is terrible and without looking at stats probably turns is over more times than what CJ did.Freebird wrote:Stevens can't kick because players don't present themselves#gosaintas wrote:Cos Stevens can't kickplugger66 wrote:Armoooo wrote:Dempster and Armitage unlucky to miss the squad but not sure either deserved to make the team anyway so it's all academic.

Re: 40 man AA squad
Armo's form was at least as good as Pendelbury, better than Swan's and definitely better than Dalhuis!
Certainly quieter in second half, but it is selected on full year, not current form alone.

I think you're being a bit harsh on Phil. He was a pretty good footballer back in his day.#gosaintas wrote:Cos Stevens can't kick
Misunderstood.

Well that's clearly wrong. Due to us not having a great midfield Jack is told to take the game on with his kicking. Occassionally by taking the game on he stuffs up and then sometimes he can be the best pass in the side to a forward. He is told to do this. Fact. If we had other help in the midfield he wont be doing that as much. His kicking style is pretty good. Certainly much better than CJ who was told the opposite to Jack. Get some modfield help and you will see a guy who can kick the ball very well.
