Gee i reckon Yarran's unlucky not to even make the top 40.

But oh well. Well done to the boys that did. I expect that they will or at least should make the final side.

I dont think Betts will scrape in. Only 12 disposals, 3 marks, 2 goals averaged per game. Decent, but not in the best 24.

Surely Walks is very stiff not to even get in the squad, I find that baffaling.

Good luck to the others named in the squad confident that Scotland, Judd and Murphy will be selected. Betts is pretty luck to be in the squad but good on him.

Given that they like to give over the half-forward spots to extra mids, he's unlikely. Betts will very likely miss out to Murphy and Thomas.

Murphy, Judd and Scotland should be certainties. Surprised Betts got a nomination ahead of Walker.

Typical media. Can't ever spell Garlett correctly and now they've gone and misspelled Walker. It's W A L K E R, not B E T T S.

Betts ahead of 1AW...........i don't think so.

Has anyone ever seen a bloke named Kade Simpson play?

I find it mind boggling that he gets no recognition.

Post subject:  Re: Four Blues named in AA squad

correct me if I'm wrong (and im doing this quick so no calc at hand) but can someone tell me exactly how many players in total played at least one senior AFL game this year for all clubs in total, and then tell me what 40 out of the 500 (rough guess) is as a perecntage. in other words if you make the squad of 40 would that put you in about the top 8-10%, or somewhere around that (40 is almost a one whole teams list) so im thinking around 1/17th of the players make the squad of 40. bit random I know but some of u statsheads will know surely

I stated that he was a smokey and must of been stiff to miss AA nomination. Betts has been nominated for sustained form over a couple of years.

If he had kicked over 50 goals he would have been named but seeing as he only kicked 50 he has missed out to Betts on selection.
