Mitchell is the lowest impact player I have seen that racks up those numbers

Well maybe apart from Priddis

Re: All-Australian Tigers this year?

Hardwick was shocked Tigers captain Trent Cotchin failed to make the All-Australian squad of 40: “I obviously watch him a lot closer than most, and I still maintain the measure of a player is what you do to the players around you, and he’s made our players better. The measure of him as a captain has been phenomenal at our footy club this year.”

Cotchin joked he was “busy” last night anyway, but said the prize of playing in the finals — with the double chance — was something he wanted more than another individual honour.

Maybe Mrs Cotchin should make a statement too

Has McGovern been any better than Astbury?

Vlaustin would have been a shoo-in with a full season.

Selwood in on name.

I thought Josh Kennedy was a bit unlucky. The 0-6 start would not have helped him. I would have gone Jacobs over Ryder.

Including Selwood is a stretch. Gun player but missed a chunk of the year and really hasn't played at his best for the rest.

Can argue midfielders like Cotchin missing out all day but still think Grimes was real stiff not making the squad at least. One of, of not the most versatile defender in the league. Plays tall, small, rarely beaten and added an attacking quality to his game this season.

McGovern is a much better player than Astbury. Agree Vlas and Selwood
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

But has McGovern been better this year?
