AFL Writers pick their SOO Teams

[Booney]

Robbie Gray couldn't make it in to any squads?

Good point. Is he Victorian? Still would think he makes that side.

Actually I dont think Robbie gray makes it. Bloody hell thats a strong mid/forward group

B: Heath Shaw, Robbie Tarrant, Dylan Roberton
HB: Easton Wood, Michael Hurley, Sam Docherty
C: Josh Kelly, Joel Selwood, Zach Merrett
HF: Marcus Bontempelli, Joe Daniher, Dustin Martin
F: Toby Greene, Jeremy Cameron, Eddie Betts
R: Shane Mumford, Patrick Dangerfield, Rory Sloane
INT: Ollie Wines, Gary Ablett, Andrew Gaff, Clayton Oliver
UNLUCKY: Marc Murphy, Scott Pendlebury, Tom Lynch (Gold Coast), Matthew Kreuzer, Seb Ross

Gray plays ahead of Gaff, Oliver and probably Wines. Ridiculous he's not in the team.

[Lightning McQueen]

Andrew Mackie would be better than a lot of those named.

He did make the "unlucky" list along with Hartlett and Hombsch

Hartlett is lucky to be in Ports team at the moment.

Hombsch should be ahead of Jonas and probably Grundy.

R.Gray doesn't get a game for Vic.

Go home selectors, you're drunk.

Robbie has really only had two good games this year.

AFL players ratings has him #1 midfielder / forward.

I'm not arguing with you, I know I'm right.

Would be interesting to see his midfield minutes.

Bags of 6,5,4 this season, that is running around with a bung groin.

A certain starter in my eyes.

[JK]

Thats the other thing, these squads are based on this season's output, without regard for credits in the bank. Pretty sure Wingard would still make the SA team

Yeah, honestly how friggin dumb, it's a mock squad with a game probably played from rolling a dice and moving an abacus and they leave Josh Kennedy out because he hurt his leg on the weekend.

I'd have a crack at listing my own squad but I don't know where the bloke lived that their mum was banging when the kid was 13 years, 8 months and 12 days old.


The criteria has changed so much.

Taylor Walker for instance, Broken Hill is in NSW but regarded as South Australian "sometimes"? Will Australia become the 52nd European country soon?

[GWW]

You know your SOO side is awful when Westhoff is name at CHF.

The present day Vic v SA, would be another repeat of the '89 game at the MCG, although this would probably be even more one-sided.

I would put Pendlebury over all those players

They picked it on who might actually play this week if it was SOO week (given it is in league)

Not really controversial there

[Bum Crack]

Lucky there isn't a SOO series!

Daniel Menzel at FF for SA. Cripes!

Funner things have happened, we were able to get over several more highly-credentialled Vic teams in the 80's and 90's.

That said, the Vic team they've listed is outstanding. Think on paper the SA team is the worst of the 4.

I was going to suggest that we'd be on par with the allies but you are right, we are crap, not sure where our goals would come from.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

B: Rory Laird, Phil Davis, Tom Jonas
HB: Shannon Hurn, Heath Grundy, Shaun Burgoyne
C: Jared Polec, Bryce Gibbs, Bernie Vince
HF: Paul Puopolo, Justin Westhoff, Shane Edwards
F: Orazio Fantasia, Daniel Menzel, Brodie Grundy
R: Sam Jacobs, Brad Ebert, Lachie Neale
INT: Caleb Daniel, Brodie Smith, Ryan Burton, Trent Dumont

Crows would beat that team

OK, sorry. how dare I not take into consideration an injury for an imaginary game.

Are you getting bored again, did Booney not bite back?

[Booney]

Gary Ablett didn't play last week and is listed as "Test" this week.

Absolute mockery.

Suiting themselves, I reckon they just don't like beards.

[valleys07]

Toby Greene and Eddie Betts are better forwards this year.

A reasonable conclusion.

Betts, yes.

Greene and Gray average almost identical stats in 2017, Gray with a bung groin, Greene having missed a couple of games through suspension.

If both were hypothetically at peak fitness, I would take Gray (probably a slightly biased opinion). In my opinion, would offer more as a part of the midfield rotation. In fairness to Greene though, GWS' gun midfield sees him stuck forward as a result.

Both jets, and you wouldn't argue with either.

[amber_fluid]

Jonas

I'll leave it there.
This really is an imaginary team!
