Grybas asked him what he thought when the whistle went for that decision.

Barry adopted a subtley quizzical expression and asked which decision he was talking about.

Doesn't translate well in writing - you probably have to see it.

Was it the same quizzical expression he adopted when they actually paid the free against him?!

He always looks that way after a free against him.

I was surprised that once the ump indicated who the free was for Leo accepted it and ran after his opponent who was heading for the Goal square.

I think he may have been just a little bit more running after his opponent who was heading for the Goal square than accepting the decision

I can't believe Kirky missed out. But I suppose the under-representation of Swans can be put down to the Roos mantra that we aren't as talented as other teams, have no superstars, work hard as a team... blah blah blah... you know the script.

Was it just me, or did Leo look a little worse for wear?

Croad's selection is puzzling to me as he seems to have played games up forward as well, although I really haven't seen enough Hawks games to comment fully. However, I struggle to think of another CHB whose claims couldn't be denied.

I'd pick Craig Bolton before Trent Croad - I think he's more all-round effective. But then I'm biased.

Don't know how Craig Bolton could have missed out on that team for Croad - people who don't follow the Swans might look at him and think he's undersized but he has got to be one of the best one-on-one defenders in the AFL these days. Sure, he usually gets the second-best forward after Leo, but he is rarely beaten.

AA team is interesting... How does the coleman medalist miss out?

Coz he was not the best forward for most of the year.

Well, the Coleman medalist is not necessarily the best FF in the competition. There is more to being a good full forward than just kicking goals.

I agree.. But i would have thought he would still have to be in the team. Having siad that....who would he replace? Everitt perhaps.
