Our ladder position probably reflects the decision so we didn't really have any standouts. But I'd question whether Lance Franklin did enough for an All Australian.. ??? Seriously ?? Did he play ?

At least no AA bonuses need to be paid this year. Grimes and Bolton unlucky.

SHocking is no longer at the AFL. He left the week it was announced he was taking the Geelong job.

In one of the rare things Gil has got right told he told SHocking  had to leave immediately as it was a clear conflict of interest

Fair enough. I don't think any of our players were consistently good enough.

Clearly we didn't 'nominate' any of our players hard enough.


The boys want to know why clubs are nominating players for All Australian selection.
