The selectors get together after about ten rounds to talk about players who should be in the mix. It's not the 40 players who finished the season off best but those that had, consistently, the best seasons.
It's fair to say that Goodes would have been a long way off the mark.
And the man who started it all, the Schneiderman . . . . .

It'll be very hard to keep the lid on now.
I only support one team: The SYDNEY SWANS!!!!!
Couldn't agree more. Brisbane in its Premiership days were better than Geelong currently is and yet they rave about Geelong and include 9 of their team. Interesting observation when you look at Malceski's stats they compare favourably to McLeod's. Bolton definitely should have been included and I would have Buddy before Johnson, on Johnson's performance this year. I reckon they selected the team at the half way mark so anyone that was crap at the start of the year missed out.
I've never liked Geelong except for God, I always enjoy seeing a favourite be cut down to size, I despise the fact the Melbourne media and public have already annointed this Geelong side as the team of the century despite last year demanding Bomber Thompson's head on a platter, and the fact that this would be one of the greatest sporting chokes of all time makes it irresistable to go for the underdog - even if that means supporting Collingwood!
