Squad just named.
They're in the squad as centremen.
-
Congratulations Richo and Lids :clapping
I don't think Lids will make the final team, but good that he was nominated in the squad.
Would be extremely disappointed if Richo misses out and I hope he gets the captaincy. I know, but ask lol
-
Here's the full list of the squad:

Tucky is a fraction unlucky to miss out based on his second half of the year but it's hard to argue with their choices and it's expected finals sides would have more nominees.
Richo has to be a monty to be named on one wing but Lids will miss out IMO. We need to start making finals and beating top 8 sides regularly before we get more than one or two nominees.

No chance.
Big Nick R will be captain
-
well done to Richo and Lids and I too think its a little unfair the Tucky never got a run in it. He deserved a position as far as I could see that is.
-
also think moore has been very stiff in defence
been the best key back all year, just has no profile
-
You usually need 2 decent years in a row to even be considered, if Moore plays as well next year then he'll be a real chance at an actual selection in the final team.

Matthew Richardson (Richmond) Switching to the wing, along with playing as a key forward, resulted in Richardson's finest AFL season and the unofficial title as 'utility' of the year. He had a career-best number of disposals, booted 48 goals, and was a regular match-winner.

Yeah the way they have been carrying on over there you'd think they'd have included Bomber megastars in the AA SIDE like
Jason Laycock, Courtney Johns Bachar Houli and Angus Monfries :lol :rollin :lol

Didn't they get last year's AA side as well?

Apparently so, MT :banghead

Richo should be on the wing and Cooney on the bench. Richo actually played on the wing ::) and kicked 48 goals and took the most marks in the comp for the year.
How did Judd get the captaincy ???.
-
I think Richo missed out on a the 1996 side because his position, I think, was taken by Gehrig, so he was relegated to the bench.
Not sure of that, but from memory that was why he didn't make the main team, even though he kicked 94 goals or something!
Seems to be different this year with Cooney ::)

Two Carlton people on the panel :(

Judd is a media darling. He could get a gun kill people in broad daylight with witnesses and CCTV recording it all and he would walk scot free due to a lack of evidence. Just shows what a farce some of these awards degenerate into. Last week Tom Harley was voted best captain in the AFL yet he can't take the mantle in the All Australian Side with Chris Judd seen as a more worthy leader. Smells very fishy to me :whistle

I was wrong about the '96 team, might have been Mitchell White I was thinking of, because Richo played HFF for memory that year.

LOL @ the bold bit HT74.
Since Harley took over as captain of Geelong they've gone from handbaggers to a side that's won 42 of their past 44 games or something incredible like that yet Judd wins the AA captaincy as captain of a side that jumped from 15th to 11th spot and had only 10 wins ::). He was lucky to be named IMHO. His first half of the year was underwhelming. I would've given cry-baby Nick Riewoldt the captaincy ahead of Judd FFS. Riewoldt has carried the Saints over the line in nearly every win they've had.

Tiger veteran Matthew Richardson, 33, was named on the interchange bench in this years team, his third All-Australian gong. He was also picked in 1996 and 1999.
Im just happy I scraped in, he said last night. Asked whether the move from the forward line upfield might prolong his career, Richardson said: The way I felt the last few games, Im not too sure. But I think you can probably get a bit more out of your body up the ground.

Richo flies to honour on wing
richmondfc.com.au
By Matt Burgan
1:00 PM Tue 16 September, 2008
RICHMOND superstar Matthew Richardson has spoken with pride about receiving his third All-Australian honour and his first in almost a decade.
Richardson, who arguably had his finest AFL season in 2008, couldn't hide his delight at being acknowledged as one of the players of the season having been named as an interchange player during Monday night's announcement of the All-Australian team.
"It's been a long time between drinks, as they say, but I'm rapt," Richardson told richmondfc.com.au.
"It's not something I was expecting at the start of the year. I thought my days of vying for these sorts of things were over.
"The club played some good footy this year and my teammates have really helped me be able to play some better footy."
Richardson's ability to gain three All-Australians over 13 seasons 1996, 1999 and now 2008 is a testament to his remarkable durability in the game. It was something he reflected on before Monday night's announcement.
"I thought about it today. I thought: 'Gee, it is a long time since I first got selection'," he said.
"It's something I'll look back on and be proud of at the end of my career, but I've still got a bit of footy left in me."
The Richmond Team of the Century member also said to be selected as a midfielder he shone on the wing and in front of goal this year was something he never would've believed.
"You would've got pretty good odds at the start of the year, but it's been a good move for myself and for Richmond," Richardson said.
"I'm not sure what role I'll play next year, it might be similar and I've enjoyed it.
"It's freed me up a bit and it was a good move in the end."
Richardson, who has played 276 matches (seventh on Richmond's all-time games record list), said receiving individual awards was flattering, but team success was what drove him.
"Personal, individual things aren't what you play the game for," he said.
"Obviously, I haven't been able to play in many finals and that's a disappointing thing, but this is a good recognition of your season.
"You do have goals and aspirations, and most guys at the start of the year would be pretty happy if they could get All-Australian selection".
Still, the fact Richardson has made the All-Australian side on three occasions, despite the Tigers having limited success throughout his career, only highlights his ability to mix it with the competition's elite.
"You look around at the players that were selected and they're all just absolute champions," he said.
"So to get your name up in a team with those guys, it's something that you'll look back on and be pretty proud of."
As for his plans ahead of a 17th season at the elite level, Richardson said relaxation would be the order of the day.
"I'll just put the feet up and have a holiday and get back into it in a few months and see how we go next year," he said.
