        Kennedy also makes the team on the I/C.
        Hard to see how the no.1 clearance player in the comp starts on the bench

            Nic Nat starting Ruck is a bit puzzling. Would've though Jacobs and Maric both had more consistent years. Swan and pendlebury both making the team ahead of Mitchell and Joel Selwood is also a bit rank.

              Pretty disappointed to be honest. Jack missed out(Third in i50s and tenth in tackles), Jetta's(6 more goals more goal assists) spot was taken by rioli. Most of all Pavlich just wow.

                Congratulations to Ted Richards and Josh Kennedy, a fitting reward for fantastic seasons by both players. I declare Ted the new Craig Bolton, Mr. Reliable.

                  And Dempster from the Saints - anyone see it when he played for us ?

                    Well done Teddy and Joshy. I cant believe jetta wasn't picked ahead of rioli. Kicked more goals, which is a half forward's job, but yet the media driven love for rioli because of his pressure acts gets him the nod. The games changed, and these days apparently pressure acts are more important in the all australian ahead of goals. Joke.

                      Nic Nat and Cyril have this love affair with the media (which the AA selectors mainly are a part of).

                      Joke really, if Jets first 5 games were the quiet ones and then he stormed home with 15 or 16 blinders, he would have made it easy. Last impressions win the day.

                        I am just astounded by the selections of Cyril, NN and Dean cox being in the pocket. The non selection of Pavlich is just crazy.

                          I find it amusing that the selectors made statements about the need to 'balance' the team as if it were literally going to run out against an opponent. I thought it was simply the best player in each position? Justifies their choice of nic nat over Jacobs and our Joey on the bench amongst others. Not convinced of total transparency in this process and not simply bc jetts and kizza missed out. Pavs omission was glaring. Congrats Joshy, our champion!

                            There are always going to be a few very unlucky to miss out. Can't fault selecting Rioli over Jetta. Even though it's supposed to be just for this year, Cyril has been a star for a few year running. If Jetts continues on next year, he should make it. Didn't expect Jack to make the final 22. When you think Mitchell and Selwood missed out, you can't really expect Jack to find a spot in the final team. But great effort by both to make the short list and Richards and Kennedy selection expected and well deserved. Surprised Dempster made it. I was nearly certain Taylor would find a spot. But he had a great year and happy to see he made the cut. I was sad to see him go. He was always a solid defender.

                              Nic Nat is exciting but all I can recall are his errors! I don't think he was that good this season.
