A couple of eyebrow raisers as usual (seriously, who the hell is Jasper Pittard? And Toby Greene, Jenkins? If it wasn’t from the AFL site I’d say it was a troll)

Joke

In terms of midfielders Zerretts clearly had a better year than Scully or Ward - could even mount a case against Selwood and Pendlebury

See, that's where you went wrong...

who cares

5

Every year I forget that AA was ruined a long time ago.

6

This is a joke right? Did he seriously not even make the SQUAD? He should be on the field in the ■■■■■■■ team!

7

Fark off Treloar.

Zerrett and the scum rival in Cripps, were both more than just stiff. That’s blatant cheating to get it that wrong.

8

One wonders if the AFL are trying to play down Essendon’s young talent given we are about to get the no.1 draft pick and maybe walk the Jaeger Bomber through to the PSD or maybe a semi-modest trade.

Would the AFL put PR before the truth?

9

Sometimes people are just sh*t at their job.

Not everything is a farkin conspiracy.

10

Treloar… really?

Who the hell is Sam Docherty- refuse to watch scum games unless it involves us

11

Nah, Docherty earned his spot, should make the final team I would think.

That’s also who Langford kicked 3 on.

12

Zerrett superior to Selwood in literally everything statistic-wise…

Selwood in because…he’s Joel Selwood.

Every year more token selections where a panel of utterly incompetent farkwits pick their favourites and are backed by the afl

13

Where’s Polkinghorne??? JOKE

14

Jasper Pittard? He would have to be the biggest turnover king that I’ve ever laid eyes on, including the very best that Essington could ever muster up.

15

I’ll be the first to admit I don’t watch much non-EFC footy these days. Interesting though. Zach has Selwood beat in every stat except Selwood has 3 more contested possessions per game on average, 2 more clearances (lets exclude marks they’re negligeble in difference and in absolute values). Selwood wins 1.5 more frees per game too… not sure if that’s a sign of a better player on an Umpire darling

EDIT: @Riolio I uploaded a screenshot by dragging and dropping from my PC and it seemed to upload but can’t see it in my post?

Until then:

Langford brushed Docherty aside like he was nothing.

17

Didn’t Docherty play one of the witch sisters in Charmed?

Fighting a very difficult battle against cancer at present

Fighting a very difficult battle against cancer at present
It's a little-known fact that fighting cancer is one of the considerations included in the interpretations to the rules for selecting AA teams.

Don't know but definitely played a witch's hat on Saturday.
