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.
