    Great job, well done to both of them. I'm more than happy to eat humble pie in regards to Kirk, I thought he was just about past it but he has been very good this season. I'm a huge fan of Ryan and am ecstatic to see him get the recognition.

    Apart from those guys I think Jolly could have at least earnt himself a shortlist nod, a bit odd that they only opted for 2 ruckmen for the shortlist (and will presumably be true to form and name 2 ruckmen in the final 22).
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Jolly's last 5 or 6 weeks probably cost him.

    Oh yep, I agree he has gone off the boil a bit- I just thought his start was good enough to justify being on the shortlist. If they are going to bother to shortlist guys before they name the final list then I thought they could go at least +1 on the ruckmen.

    Yeah, I agree with you.

    David Hille is the other ruckman who can consider himself unlucky.

    Im a bit upset that they nominated ROK as "never previously selected" when he made AA as a half forward in 2006........

    Has only had about 56% of ground time in the last few games, resting him for the finals I reckon P46 or getting some fitness into Spida, not.

    I can imagine Gerard Healy at the AA selection table....he gets out of his car and the rest pile out of a mini minor juggling balls!

    Still dirty about ROK's lack of prior recognition
