Well deserved recognition for both players - fantastic! And of course well done to Papley and Chad for making the extended squad as well.

Great result, absolutely delighted for both, especially Callum who I felt deserved it but I didn't think would get picked. He's had an outstanding year (as has Isaac of course).
What a sensational endorsement for the Academy!
Chad making the top 44 squad was an extraordinary achievement for a third year player - his time will come!Comment

Congratulations Callum & Isaac, both had outstanding years. Cue grumbling about the academy advantage!
This year it seems they've broken away from the same old players and actually chosen the players who have had influence even if they are not household names.
Connor Rozee has been outstanding for Port, an insightful selection, and what about Crows naughty boy discard Stengle, got his life on track and footy has followed.Comment

Maybe they feel he's too young and he will have multiple AAs when his career is done, so share it around a bit for now.
I can't believe that Fox Sports ranked Chad only 15th of the 22 that missed out.

I'm just glad Chad signed that new contract before seeing that he was ranked higher than Josh Kelly.Comment

I think the AA squad is very reasonable. Chad is a superstar and will get future selections, but you compare his numbers (21 disposals) to say Brayshaw (28-29 disposals, 6 tackles) or that of Oliver, Miller or Neale and it is a substantial difference for a midfielder. I guess you might argue if he should be picked ahead of Cripps or Rozee, but you would have plenty who would disagree. They even had to stick Petracca as a forward.
I am very pleased though that Mills and Heeney were recognised!Comment

Mills has been playing quite a bit of time as a wingman in the second half of the season so it isn’t as bad as the other AA “wingman” Touk Miller who I’m sure has never played thereComment

With Hawkins being named captain last night, it reminded me of one of my favourite Buddy quotes the year he was named captain in 2018.

What are the criteria for being named AA captain? Best player overall? Best leader? Nicest player? Cleanest tribunal record? Random draw?Comment
