Gee you're pessimistic. Seriously, I hope Adelaide are up by 10 goals at QT and you can breathe easy.

It's all part of the Melbourne Experience.

You'd hope so after 11 years.

Now you guys just have to get over the final hoodoo and you'll be sweet :)

I'm looking forward to this finals series. Literally anything is possible. All those teams in the top 8 have been bad at some point, and pretty darn good at other times.

Although.. I don't really have a vested interest in the finals series for the first time in quite a few years... but. still. It'll be good :)

Some true head-scratchers in the AA squad.

How Robbie Tarrant doesn't get in the squad is so fucking beyond me.

Like whom?

Worked Sundays the majority of the year, so will preface by saying that I've watched the least amount of footy this year since probably 2000. But:

Spoiler
Eddie Betts: Fair enough selection. Hasn't had as dominant a year IMO, but still good enough for the 40 for sure.
Matt Crouch: Good call. Great year.
Sam Jacobs: Pretty weird year for ruckmen if you think about it. Ryder should be AA IMO, but no huge qualms with Jacobs' selection in the 40.
Rory Laird: Fair enough.
Jake Lever: I bloody hope Melbourne trades for him, and he's doubtlessly had a good year, but is getting a bit overrated IMO.
Tom Lynch: Really like him, still think he's underrated. Important player for Adelaide. Good selection.
Rory Sloane: Yep.
Taylor Walker: Shouldn't make the 22 but has had a good year.

Dayne Zorko: Should make the first 18.

Sam Docherty: Was better last year IMO. Don't think he'll make the 22.
Matthew Kreuzer: Good selection for the 40.

Jeremy Howe: Great year. Credit to him.
Adam Treloar: Nah. I rate Treloar, but I honestly don't think he's been AA quality this year. Would pick Cotchin and Oliver over him any day of the week based on this season alone.

Joe Daniher: Should make it.
Michael Hurley: No qualms.
Zach Merrett: As above. Still doesn't make up for last year's omission.

Patrick Dangerfield: Obviously.
Joel Selwood: Eh. Had a very good year, but IMO Duncan's been better.

Toby Greene: Interesting one due to games played. Is 16 games enough?
Josh Kelly: Should be just about first picked.
Tom Scully: Strangely, I actually think Scully's really underrated. Very important link-up player. I had him in my actual 22 last year.
Dylan Shiel: Fair.

Tom Mitchell: Ya.

Jeff Garlett: Nah - would prefer Fantasia. Garlett had a good year, don't get me wrong - but it was very patchy. I would have had him in the 40 a couple of months ago, but he dropped right off.
Michael Hibberd: Missed the first four through injury, but had to be selected. Great year.
Neville Jetta: Love him. Deserves the recognition. Very rarely gets beaten. He's in my 22.

Ben Brown: I have him just missing the 22, but a seriously impressive year. Obvious selection.

Robbie Gray: Yup.
Tom Jonas: I rate him as a player, but I think others were ahead of him this year.
Paddy Ryder: As above, he's my AA ruckman.

Dustin Martin: Sure.
Alex Rance: As above.

Dylan Roberton: Had a fantastic start to the year - would have been in my starting 18 halfway through, probably. Dropped off, though. Possibly borderline due to the number of similar players vying for a position.
Seb Ross: Good year, no qualms.

Lance Franklin: Gun.
Josh P Kennedy: Not his best year IMO, but gun.

Josh J Kennedy: Had to be chosen.
Jeremy McGovern: Not in my 22, but making the squad is fair enough.
Elliot Yeo: As above. Think he's becoming a little overrated.

Marcus Bontempelli: Didn't rate his year hugely tbh.


OUT: Jake Lever, Adam Treloar, Joel Selwood, Jeff Garlett, Tom Jonas, Marcus Bontempelli
IN: Heath Grundy, Clayton Oliver, Mitch Duncan, Orazio Fantasia, Zac Williams, Trent Cotchin

So, I guess to answer your question: Treloar, Jonas, Garlett, Selwood, Lever, and to a lesser extent Bontempelli, Scully, Greene, Roberton. "Hea-scratchers" perhaps a bit far, but no Oliver and Duncan in particular are stiff.

Selwood and Shiel making the side were probably the head-scratchers for me. Would have preferred Sloane and Kennedy. Other than that, no real issues (admit I haven't seen much of Howe this year so I can't judge how stiff he was).

Selwood making the actual team made me chuckle. Pretty absurd considering the games he missed IMO.
