Sam Jacobs very hard done by. Best ruckman in the league this year.
He is not a "flashy" enough player. The selectors were seduced by Nic Nac Paddy Whacks leaping ability. For me he is just not consistent enough
Jacobs was stiff... And Cyril wasn't that good
MILNEYYYYYYYY, You ripper!Only have 2 issues. The fact that Stephen "The rat" Milne made it in over Pavlich! And Dane Swan is on the bench. Apart from that i'm fairly happy with it. I would of given Maric a spot on the bench also. Basicly rucked the entire year by himslef at Richmond and was a stand out.
MILNEYYYYYYYY, You ripper!
I would say Pav is more of a half forward than a forward pocket.Yeah, no offence to Milne but it's pretty sad that he got picked over Pavlich.
I agree with pretty much everything in this post.The problem isn't Milne being in over Pavlich... for a forward pocket position a case could be argued for either player... The problem I have is Cox being named in the forward pocket when Pavlich didn't make the team! I know people will say the team needs a second ruckman, but if that's the case name Cox on the bench, Beams forward pocket, Deledio on the Wing and replace Rioli with Pavlich.
If not, Leroy Jetta should be in over Rioli.
Watson should have been named captain.
Glad to see Dempster and Richards make the team. Well deserved
