    Malceski's deserves his spot. If anything I am surprised about Goodes' inclusion. It hasn't exactly been his best year.

    I feel sorry for Reg. He has been one of the competitions premier defenders this year IMO

    Yeah, me too. His numbers still read pretty well though. Doubt he'll make the 22.

    Best effort from the selectors for a while but I'm not a fan of the award.

    Can you be picked in the AA if you have received a suspension, ala Brownlow, Rising star?
    Reason being, I thought Martin had a much better year than Deledio.

    Yeah you can.

    Few people questioning Deledio's inclusion but I thought he was excellent across half-back. I'm a big fan, better player than he he gets credit for in my opinion.

    Check the numbers - 40 goals and third highest in comp for marks AS WELL AS I50, contested possies and other numbers that would pls most midfielders. Much better year than most people have given him credit for.

    All Australian Squad
    Mummy would be a certainty, the other two are outside chances.

    Mummy is no certainty. Sandilands is a certainty, and if they decide to go with another ruckman, I think Jamar will get the nod. (I would give Jamar the nod - he's been fantastic all year.)

    Malceski has been good this year but I think Sam Gilbert has been better, playing a not dissimilar role. Gilbert is incredibly stiff to miss the squad, and the final team too. I doubt Mal will make the cut.

    I can see Goodsey being slotted onto the interchange bench as a token representative from the team that's finished 5th, even though it's not been his best season.
