Lenny is very very unlucky.
What it means is that we have 10-15 players who share the load. We have no super players but equally hard working players.
Honestly don't care of this fantasy team which in reality never exists.

Lenny is a first pick this year. Haven't they watched our games FFS.
Why is that. Because people didnt select Lenny? Makes no sense at all. I would have but he is a mate. Does that make me a non embarrassment to the AFL?
shame lenny didnt get in, streets ahead of Pendelbury. IMO doesn't matter, its such a predictable team, Judd can have an ordinary year and will ALWAYS be selected, you cant tell me Judd had a better year than Hayes??
Ah well, i'm sure the only think Lenny cares about is winning the next 2 games..
Ablett is anything but a captain. Good player; yes. Team player; no. Such a selfish act to hold off contract negotiations till the end of the year, holding the rest of the playing list's contracts to ransom basically while he enjoys the spotlight and all the talk about him. Shows the difference between himself and Roo, who signed straight away so to take distraction away from the club.
Just my 2 cents..
These selectors are an absolute joke and should be ashamed of themselves . Lenny is top 6 in the MVP and cannot even get in this team!!! Lenny is one of the most inspirational players to play this game and has had a brilliant season.
As expected all about the cats and pies. What a FARCE!!

He is probably leaving so how can he do it any differently? Amazing.

If hes leaving let the club know so they can re-negotiate contracts with other players.

The AFL is an embarrassment for a raft of reasons. I'll give you one you surely can comprehend, the Match Review Panel.
I think it is an embarrassment to overlook Lenny, when he has been clearly having his best season. There were other omissions as well and not just Saints, IMO.
Since you asked the question, you are more likely a non-entity to the AFL and an embarrassment to yourself.

Sam Gilbert #1 booster - always on the attack!!!
Win more for Winmar

Hayes should have been a walk up to this side but heaven forbid we actually reward players that deserve recognition.
AA Team is ridiculous and has been ever since they named Pavlich at Fullback 5 or so years ago.
They do tend to pick on Lenny. Fancy only being picked 3 times as a AA. He would be so pissed off.
FFS Plugger for the sake of us all give the corner of the mouth snideness schtick just a quick rest.
2010 has been Hayes best year EVER.
Seems to me they've gone 'We only have room for one hard in and under guy, and Selwood's that guy'. And if you looking for a genuine line of demarcation between the two - one ducks his head and flirts with the spirit of fair play, the other sacrifices his body fair and square every week without fail.
Fact is any team has room for both, and regardless Hayes has been the better player and deserved his fourth selection.
Not talk here of 'they're picking on us' or 'the AFL is corrupt', BTW.
This year's AA simply isn't reflective of 'the best'.
And in a sport devoid of a legitimate international benchmark that's a real shame.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

+1 Having said that, we have much bigger fish to fry.
