How stuffen predictable!!! :banghead

The AFL gestopo shafted Grimes and Vlaustin because they got off their diving charges. 

I'm sick of these idiots.  I hope Richo is suitably embarrassed over the fact those guys missed out.

Richo probably overcompensating again.... :shh

The graphic of the team at the end depicting Caleb Daniel as being only half a head shorter than Max Gawn perfectly summed up the dodgyness of the entire affair... :shh :shh

The backline is embarrassing.

How Vlastuin and Grimes aren’t in that backline is laughable!

I don’t really think dusty would be in it this year although I thought he got absolutely shafted by not being in it last year so I guess it balances out.

Some really odd selections and an overall unbalanced side.

They only have 1 running defender with 5 key/interceptor types. Neither of the wingers are wingers. They’ve got 3 mids in the fwd line, at least dusty splits his time mid/fwd, danger less so and bont has no business being in the fwd line. Then they’ve got another 2 mids on the bench and a pure second ruck when very few teams run with 2 rucks these days.

Dangerfield leads All-Australian team, but Tigers snubbed

Michael Gleeson
The Age
25 September 2020

Star Richmond premiership defenders Dylan Grimes and Nick Vlastuin both missed selection in this year’s All-Australian team, with last year’s Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe and Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury also surprise omissions from the team.

Remarkably Vlastuin, regarded as one of the game's elite defenders, has never been an All-Australian while Grimes was All-Australian last year and proved his value in his return game from injury when he was best on ground against Geelong.

Geelong, Port Adelaide, West Coast and the Western Bulldogs each had three players picked in the team that had 11 clubs represented. Last year's premier and flag favourite Richmond had just one - Dustin Martin.

...

The All-Australian team is chosen by a panel comprising of AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Steve Hocking, Glen Jakovich, Chris Johnson, Cameron Ling, Matthew Richardson and Warren Tredrea.

All Australian team is a bit of joke while the continue to pick "names: rather than picking players for the actually position they play.

Bomtempelli is a very good player but he is not a half forward

The "Captain" play As mainly mid filed not half forward

 I mean seriously

I never really rated it but every year I rate it less and less

Dangerfield captain?

He's the epitome of Geelong, home and away hero, but disappears in finals. Not a leader at all.

DBJ over the likes of Grimes and Vlastuin is laughable.

I don't think dusty deserves to be there this year.

And Dangerfield as captain is a dead set kick in the nuts to any half assed captain in the AFL. Flog of the year/decade.
