Stuff em. Our Tigers are about team performances not individuals.

Grimes recently said to my brother. I don’t give a *smile* about AA. I want the Premiership :clap2

Edwards has been every bit as good as last year. Surprised he didn't make the cut.

And while I don't think Lynch had a consistently outstanding year, he finished third in the Coleman and they need six forwards for the team. Slightly unlucky.

Although we ended up finishing third, due to injuries it wasn't the sort of year where many of our team were outstanding for the full season. Even Dusty had flat games.

That Nick Vlastuin isnt in this squad continues the illegitimacy of the concept that we have all come to expect

Treloar? Seriously? So just running really fast and blasting the ball forward anywhere gets you an AA nomination?

How Vlaustin didn't make the squad is mind boggling. Well done to the other boys on their nomination.

I would have just split the AA team 50:50 based on the best players last week between Richmond and West Coke.

Clearly the two best teams in the comp. Maybe a token spot on the bench for the Bont and Cripps.

Coincidentally the commentators yesterday said Vlas was a cert for AA.

I'd like to think we have a more even spread of class and skill each week than any other club, and perhaps why we are under represented.

How they can leave Vlastuin and Edwards out of the squad is just nonsense.

Vlastuin astounds me. Just a horrible outcome. Totally wrong. Crime against football.

Rather than try and squeeze all the names into the squad, they should pick a team that would take the park. A team that they think would be unbeatable.

Well we know that Sheds and Flossy were robbed on an AA by AFL politics but who really cares as we know those two are the best in the league in their positions and they are dyed in the wool Tigers. Besides the Prem is more important

Tom Stewart is the new Corey Enright. Just became the permanent HBF nominee. Not that I didn't like Enright, he was a gun and a different class to Stewart, who IMO has never impressed in the big games. Especially against us.

Ablett? Seriously he has played some really poor games at times, it has to be about your whole years performance?

*smile* and Dane Rampe - there's another completely overrated player. Vlastuin better than both IMO.

As the saying goes. A team of champions will always lose to a champion team. Let them have their AA selections. Let's just lift that premiership again!
