AA Squad - Only 4 Tigers named

Can take or leave individual honours - we all know only one medal in this game really counts - but Vlastuin absolutely shafted... Shank & Lynch unlucky... :shh

..on the bright side - no Bumblers... :shh :shh

Agreed, Floss robbed, Shed and Lynch stiff.

Lynch probably needed to do a bit more the last few weeks.

I rekn lynch has been absolutely shafted with vlastuin and Edwards unlucky.

The man kicked the third most goals in the competition, you would think he would be in the squad before narrowly missing out on the final team.

The only award we should be interested in is the premiership medallion.

By next season we will have forgotten who was all Australian but we will not forget who won the premiership.

Hawkins should be in the squad
A few week ago he was right up in the Coleman and at that stage led the league in goal assists

Hawkins is a flat track bully (so is Cameron  :shh) and his second half of the season was ordinary... :shh

I do like Hawkins as a player but lynch was robbed to not be in the squad of 40. 3rd in the Coleman and trying to make the most of our rubbish i50 entries in the first half of the season

AFL.com.au has taken a look at the numbers to figure out why the selectors may have made some of their tougher calls.

Who made it: Ben Brown (North Melbourne)
Who could have: Tom Lynch (Richmond)

Both played 22 games, so a comparison is pretty straightforward. Brown had more goals (64-54), disposals (244-226), contested possessions (145-137), marks (108-103), score involvements (141-138) and tackles in forward 50 (21-19). Lynch had the edge in goal assists (13-4), contested marks (47-35), marks inside 50 (66-62), forward-50 groundball-gets (38-32) and tackles (35-25). It's a close call but it's hard to argue with the selectors on this one.
