Age describing it as 'shock omission'.
Hayes left out of All-Oz team September 14, 2010 - 12:00AM
St Kilda vice-captain Lenny Hayes is the shock omission from this year's All-Australian team.
It was widely assumed that one of the game's toughest and most respected midfielders would make the final 22.
Hayes, a three-time All-Australian, played 21 games this season and was ranked sixth in the league for clearances.
Hayes Robbed...WAFJ!!!

It's a race to the bottom in the credibility stakes between the All Australian Committee and the Match Review Panel.

Seriously, you are not surprised are you? St Kilda players are often 'invisible' to AA selectors. Robert Walls is packing it in next year so that should help...
AA selection is a joke and means nothing. Sounds good, but at the end of the day means nothing. Premierships are what teams strive for, not individual honours. It is a team game and Robert Harvey is on record stating that he would swap both Brownlow medals for a premiership medallion.

yeh no surprises here.
Gave the whole AA thing up a while ago.
It's all about this Saturday night, and then, hopefully, the Saturday after.
I think the Norm Smith is a better fit around lenny's neck than the AA anyway.

In addition to the astonishing omission of Lenny, the fact that not one Saints defender made the list is equally astounding. Our points against is only 100 up on last year. If last year we had the best defensive record in decades then surely this year has got to be up there with the best. We have been so good and so consistent without ours and the AFL’s best player out for 3 months yet still not respect.Richter wrote:Some truth here.linz wrote:Absolute rubbish.

It's a TEAM sport ffs.
St Kilda for the second year in a row have had the best defensive record. Yet no St Kilda defender makes it in to the AA team for either year.
Bottle it. Use it.
talk about flying under the radar....travelling underground more like it.....according to the experts...our bottom 6 suck...and...we only have two players capable of being aa....wonder we won any games at all......what with the crap team we have.....
...flower me....no....flower the morons who picked this side..
ps...according to james hird.....who is on the panel....the team was healey's ...and they only went along for the ride....
...so maybe he is just pumping up the tyres of these other guys and giving the saints more ammunition to redress the wrongs of 2009.....

My sentiments exactly. I'm sure Lenny would prefer to be a premiership player. North Smith Medal would be nice too.emmdee wrote:I mean seriously.....If a coach was picking a national team to travel & play, for example NZ or England, in a Aussie rules "test match" ........ Lenny Hayes would be picked in the guts along with Selwood...... well thats my take.... Im gobsmacked he was not selected ....Grrrrrrrr..... Hope he ends up the Norm Smith Medalist as compensation
He's a three time All Australian already so I don't think he'll be too upset. All the more motivation for a great Prelim and hopefully prelim. His last few finals have been awesome, last week, the GF last year and the prelim last year. The guy is amazing.
It will be interesting to see what Mike Sheahan writes about it. He had him in the centre in his AA team, yet he didn't even make the bench. Surely had a better year than Judd.
