Medhurst is that an error.

TimeToShineFellas · Mon 15 Sep 2008 10:14pm

Oh well when it comes down to it, it's an award based on 8 people's opinions.

Besides, I would rather have St Kilda having a PREMIERSHIP side than worrying about who does or doesn't make the AA Side.

And they don't actually play anyone either.

Well apart from Roo and fish I don't think any other saints player deserves a spot anyway.

maverick · Post: # 645329Post **maverick** » Mon 15 Sep 2008 10:18pm

Harley in that side is a joke, he cannot beat a direct opponent, an overrated Jason Cloke if you will....

As for Pavlich, give me a break, Roo missed AA last year to Mooney which was BS, Pav should have missed this year....

Time to change the selectors and take the favourites out of it...

HarveysDeciple · Mon 15 Sep 2008 10:18pm

Judd was solid, but he shouldn't captain this side.....no way

Milne deserves a spot.

judd doesnt deserve to be captain talk about protected.

Well done SF. Do they give an award for the most under rated player in the AFL?

You don't think Max has been the giant killer down back for us all year!!??

It's now on Fox
he venue if you are now watching Is where the saints best and fairest will be held.

Roo interviewed BY Jason getting his position- was able to NOT say I;ve had a good year- used the word I_ as he said I've had a great team around me.

Scarlett looked scared of what may be asked.........
Sam coming up now

haven't seen enough of Morris and Harley to comment specifically on them, but in the words of Fevola, someone who'd know, on the Footy Show before the Geelong semi-final, "you've got the best two full-backs in the league in Scarlett and Hudghton".
Max very stiff to miss out.

He's been brilliant but scarlett has nearly done as good as job as shutting down players but has the rebound side to his as well.

Brett Roseburry- Umpire of the Year.
vision shown was one of few "mistakes" he admitted he got it wrong- was a decision against BJ- during the exchange BJ said check the replay-...

saintspremiers · Mon 15 Sep 2008 10:56pm

apart from status, what else does AA selection mean?

Do players get a kicker in the next contract/following seasons pay if they get an AA selection??

saintbrat · Post: # 645374Post **saintbrat** » Mon 15 Sep 2008 11:01pm

The saints guys look great in their team suits- the striking black with the Tricolour tie--

are we sure Harves is 37- I agree with Roo- he looks younger with that hair cut

ausfatcat · Post: # 645375Post **ausfatcat** » Mon 15 Sep 2008 11:01pm

Some players have clause's in there contracts that says All Australian selection = 10% pay rise or something.

Maybe did the opposite of what Eric Guy did in the 60's maybe he was 7 or 9 when he started playing and he's really only 30 now?

deathly quiet when Dunstill asked Bartell about Harves mmmmmm

bad Luck Clinton

just saw the vision of that incident- was that the last time we had Bakes- when he did his knee

Nice touch- in showing the retireees- known to date- ( didn't have Wakelin)

the ended with Harves giving a salute turned wave to the crowd after a goal.

First off congrats to Fish.

Fantastic achievement. Picked up as a twenty three y.o. out of the SANFL. Pick 55 or something.

For all the whinging about Brooks and Watts nobody gives kudo's for this choice. Inspiring stuff.

HTF did that mercenary piece of excretia Judd get the captaincy?

That is an absolute flipping disgrace. Not only Roo, but Harley would have been a better choice.

How that money grabbing brown paperbag Underbelly supported scum could get captaincy is really beyond comprehension.

As usual and with the criminal cheats - money must have changed hands.

Absolute garbage. And typical corrupt BS

AA members get automatic selection for the international series but other players can be picked.

You've done us all proud Sammy!

Congratulations and well deserved!

mad saint guy · Tue 16 Sep 2008 12:16am

Only glaring error is Judd as captain, which was clearly picked on reputation and nothing else. He had an inconsistent year with Carlton and certainly doesn't show any outstanding leadership qualities.

Pavlich and Harley were also reputation picks, but the side is better than it has been in recent years.
