maybe to a west australian but not the rest of australia

My 2018 All Australian team

still in the west don, watched a heap of his games, and i dont think this is getting through to anyone as much as i continue to say it.
Hurn IS GOOD, HES HAD A FANTASTIC YEAR, I JUST do not know who to take out of the team to put him into it.

There i put it in bold for everyone to see. I think Hurn is great hes a great player, I think Whitfield will be in the team this year as well though, and i do not think we are comparing apples with apples when we compare whitty and bunga.
So, maybe for Yeo, or Stewart but i think those two have had pretty solid years as well.

I do not know who else could come out of the team for Bunga. However i will say it again, Hurn is a great player and captain, good one on one and a great user, although in the games i have watched this year i think that whitfield has used the ball exceptionally well off the half back line. i have watched almost every GWS game this year and whitfield has been outstanding. Hurn has had a great year as well and should be in the team, i am just not sure how he fits in and who comes out.

Have missed u Don, hope all is well.

Astbury and Grimes are fab players as well, id get them in, but as i keep saying i just have no idea about who to take out of the team for those richmond players, as no richmond player has been really standout except really for riewoldt, martin at times and rance just because he is rance.

nice

My 2018 All Australian team

Ablett has had a decent year i think, Kelly probably had a better year than him actually imo, bloke is a gun.

My 2018 All Australian team

Like I said i just didnt know who to take out for hurn!
So youre saying Whitfield for Hurn?
I agree, Hurn has had a great year, been awesome, just do not know who to take out for him unfortunately. I think Whitfield deserves his spot in the team 100%.

put money on them

comment something useful

My 2018 All Australian team

oi no bias tho

My 2018 All Australian team

they are both in the team though dont know why you having a cry.

My 2018 All Australian team

and i think when whitifleds career is over youll say he used it better.

My 2018 All Australian team

doctor! ive watched plenty of football this year mate, watched them both live and i can safely say whitfield is better than hurn. sorry.

My 2018 All Australian team

cheap kicks across the half backline should not count.

My 2018 All Australian team

i dont think you watch whitfield, he runs 15-16km a game, and the kicks he pulls off are a lot better than just getting cheap marks and cheap kicks across the half backline.

My 2018 All Australian team

Good to see you again Don, I believe he’s a gun, but overrated probably and i think not as good as Grimes, Astbury.

My 2018 All Australian team

Scarlett better than Rance probably, but Rance yet to finish his career.

My 2018 All Australian team

you too

My 2018 All Australian team

Fair point. Hope they both make the team.

My 2018 All Australian team

Whitfield is a gun, excellent kick of the footy.
Just uses it so much better than Hurn.

My 2018 All Australian team

Rance isn’t a defender?

There is a reason he is 4x AA at full back mate.

My 2018 All Australian team

Going on stats shows how much football you watch Doc, going on stats you would say Mark Blicavs has had the worst year of his career, you would say Laird is the best defender in the AFL, just because he avgs the most disposals. Stupid.

My 2018 All Australian team

Those two are a bit different Hero.

My 2018 All Australian team

Just do not know how you would change the team so he isn’t a CHF.

My 2018 All Australian team

“WORST TEAM EVER.”

– Fyfe, could still finish atop on brownlow night so what if he finishes top, and isnt named AA
– Hawkins could be picked ahead of Ben Brown I agree, However if Brown wins the coleman I mean, can he not be in the AA
– Martin has had a decent year, 1.5 goals a game and almost averaging 30 touches, not bad if u ask me.
– Whitfield has played all year off back flank, no idea why he would be put onto the wing.
– Bulldogs lucky to have Macrae in there as he’s played about as much as Fyfe

My 2018 All Australian team

Collingwood don’t need any more defenders!!!!!
