Spot on... Gardi has flown under the radar for much of the year, but he should be in serious contention for AA this year... He is having a serious impact every week...

Looms large for a big September...

If Nick Maxwell gets AA then Reincarnated will reveal his/her/gt's identity

Sam Fisher will also not get a jumper

No way Fisher deserves to be AA this year, not to say that his year hasn't been important for the team yet with such tough competition I can't see a way of him getting his 2nd AA!

Sam Fisher will only get AA if it is at CHB, keep in mind nobody has had a good year in that position...

Gardiner should be behind McIntosh, Ryder and Clark for mine, hopefully he gets through though.

Lenny, Dal, Hayes, Montagna, Riewoldt, Gilbert and Goddard are all what you'd think would be certainties.

Riewoldt MUST be captain and Milne/ Gardiner/ S.Fisher would all be a slight chance.

Alot of people are naming Chips in there AA teams. I think it goes to show how far a reputation gets you as he hasn't been anywhere near as good and more importantly anywhere near as consistent as last year.

IMO he's only been servicable, I don't believe he's ever been that fantastic in a tight defensive role but he was always capable of holding his own, what really set him apart was his rebound, however this year that has been cut back due to him being tagged frequently.

I would probably rate Joel Patfull as this years best CHB, but there is no way he'll even make the squad...

I dunno...

I reckon the only certs are Roo, Mont, BJ and Lenny.

Dal and Gilbo good chances without being certs

Gardy and Sam Fisher I reckon might struggle...Id rank Milney a better chance to make it than them...clearly the best small forward in the comp this year IMO..Leon Davis is a mid now

Le Cras, surely? More goals in a far worse side.

It seems pretty amazing, but in a team that has had 340 fewer points scored against it than any other team I don't see any of the individuals as being a lock for an AA berth.

Sam G - probable

Sam F - possible

Zac - unlikely

Just goes to show how vital the full team defensive press has been and the strategic defensive play by the back line.

On the other hand, SOS and RL would be monties for any putative defensive coach and head coach gongs.

jesus christ there are some sickeningly terrible selections there (in the 3AW teams that is).

I reckon personally we've got 6 certs and Fish and off chance to sneak into CHB just cause there's been no real standout there this year.

If Clark and Gilbert get AA will they be the first from the 05 draft to get AA?
