No AA Squad for Marshall

[Devilhead]

Buckley trying to justify Marshall's non-selection by saying his form dropped off in the 2nd half if the season just boggles the mind

[magnifisaint]

There is no justification for selecting Cameron over Marshall. Not the brightest group of selectors

Yeah well they do have Glenn Jacovich in there.

[Moods]

You could say that Marshall has had a better season than Gawn based on Footywire.

Yeah but when we played the Dees this season, Gawn showed everyone he is far superior to Romo

[Nick DalSanto Claus]

How could Marshall be left out and Xerri makes it on the back of one good season?

Marshall has been playing at an elite level for the past 3 years. He was unlucky to be overlooked for the final 23 last year.

He should have been rewarded for his body of work over time, which has always been used as a criterion when assessing selection in the past.


This should be the subject of an official rant by the president next time he visits "Woke Football League" HQ.

Half the knobs/knobettes voting would be lucky to watch 3 games per round.

Finally, some inclusive gender language....well done Scollop

[older saint]

To Xerri best this season, Gawn next BUT Marshall comfortably next - Cameron must be there as part of the Collingwood nomination requirement rules.

Clearly the so-called selectors just drew names out of a hat. Unbelievable.

[D.B.Cooper]

For around the ground work (old style follower) Marshall is easily AA and first picked.
He is a force, an endurance beast and another midfielder.

Unfortunately I think the selectors would be influenced by the way opposition clubs waltz the ball out of the centre against us, and maybe Roma's tap work is the reason he has not been selected.

No argument with Gawn & Xerri, but Cameron in front of Marshall???

Nasiah

AF Fantasy points this year 97.7 'elite'
Effective disposals 19.7 'elite'

You'd think they would at least pick him on DEI basis

[Scollop]

Nasiah just missed the cut in the Champion Data All-Australian team but they said ...he only just missed.

It's not based on the official AFL 44-man squad named by a selection panel.

We’re not looking at the All-Australian squad, this is purely off Champion Data's ratings system

FB: Nick Blakey (SYD) / Sam Collins (GCS) / Dan Houston (PA)
HB: Jack Sinclair (STK) / Jeremy McGovern (WCE) / Bailey Dale (WB)
C: Errol Gulden (SYD) / Patrick Cripps (CAR) / Massimo D’Ambrosio (HAW)
HF: Hayden Young (FRE) / Aaron Naughton (WB) / Harry Sheezel (NM)
FF: Brent Daniels (GWS) / Jesse Hogan (GWS) / Tyson Stengle (GEE)
FOL: Max Gawn (MEL) / Marcus Bontempelli (WB) / Isaac Heeney (SYD)
I/C: Zak Butters (PA) / Sam Flanders (GCS) / Max Holmes (GEE) / Dylan Moore (HAW) / Caleb Serong (FRE)

Hoyne acknowledged some of the glaring omissions, including that of Collingwood star Nick Daicos.

“The two biggest omissions (that people will ask about) - Where is Nick Daicos? And where is Chad Warner?,” he added.

“They are literally the next two players to come into the team.

“The next three defenders would be Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Dayne Zorko and James Sicily.

“The next three forwards are Ed Richards, Sam Switkowski and Charlie Curnow.

“The next ruck to come into the team would be Tristan Xerri.”

The ladder dictates how many players from each club are considered. We were 6th last year and 12th this year.

Makes sense to me.
