All Australian Team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The All-Australian Team is an all star team of Australian rules footballers, selected by a panel at the end of each season. In 1953, immediately after the Australian Football Carnival, which was held in Brisbane on that occasion, an official All-Australian team was selected by representatives from the state and territorial teams. Since 1999, the All-Australian coach is the coach of the premiership-winning side that year. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/All_Australian_Team   (237 words)

All-Australian, all arguable - www.realfooty.com.au   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Naming the All-Australian team is an important but thankless task for the eight selectors involved. The traditional team structure of five lines of three players complemented by three "followers" is at best an anachronism, at worst redundant. In the AFL's official All-Australian team listings, the onballers are still referred to as "followers", a term that hasn't been part of the football vernacular for up to 40 years. www.realfooty.theage.com.au /articles/2003/09/06/1062549059731.html   (1105 words)

L A VFL interstate representative in 1949, he was a reserve in Essendon's 1946 premiership team, and was on a wing when the Dons overcame North Melbourne in the grand final of 1950.

FAQ- The teams of the AFL This team is selected yearly, since 1991, and selects the 18 best players by position for the year (as well as 3 interchange players and coach and umpire of the year). The 1999 team will actually compete together in two "International Rules" matches against a representative team of Gaelic football players in October; the Australians will be the hosts this time, at the MCG and at Football Park in Adelaide. Premiership medallions are awarded to each of the team's players that played in the Grand Final; this is similar to the awarding of championship rings here, except that no non-participant may be voted a medal, which magnifies the pain of late-season injuries and form slumps. www.afana.com /af_faq_sec6.shtml   (2198 words)

Three Hawks make All-Australian team Judd was one of the most unlucky players to miss All-Australian selection, as his form was not far shy of his efforts that earned him last year's Brownlow Medal. Unlike previous years, members of the 2005 All-Australian team are not automatically granted selection in the International Rules team to play Ireland. The policy shift was implemented after 17 of the 22 All-Australians last year ruled themselves unavailable for the hybrid game. www.hawkheadquarters.com /printarticle.aspx?articleid=2044   (491 words)

All Australian In 1982, the first AFL team of the year was chosen by the Victorian selectors. With the development of the national competition, the concept was changed slightly and in 1991, the first AFL All-Australian Team was selected.

All-Australian selectors snub top forwards Thomas, who said his personal view was that the All-Australian team should comprise the best 22 players of the season regardless of position, also defended the omission of Milne, along with Matt Maguire, who had been freely tipped as possible centre half-back. But the biggest statement made in the selection of this year's team is the acknowledgement of youth, with no fewer than 10 current and emerging young stars honoured with All-Australian selection for the first time and another five selected for the second time in their careers. Ricciuto, who was first named All-Australian in 1994, becomes the fourth player after Craig Bradley, Stephen Kernahan and Paul Roos, to win the honour in eight separate seasons. www.hawkheadquarters.com /article.aspx?articleid=2040   (631 words)

AFL News from Johnson- August 12, 2000 The team was selected by AFL football operations manager Andrew Demetriou, AFL administration manager Rod Austin, Brownlow medallist Gerard Healy, South Australian legend Neil Kerley, premiership player and coach Robert Walls, West Coast premiership player Chris Mainwaring and Richmond Hall of Fame Legend Kevin Bartlett. The first round of the pre-season competition, which starts on February 17, will retain the round-robin format, in which the 16 AFL teams will be randomly divided into four groups of four, and the teams in each group play against one another once. Australian television coverage of next year’s pre-season Ansett Cup competition is set to be cut by half because the AFL wants to avoid the game being “over-exposed”. www.afana.com /afl/johnson/afl_jl_000812.html   (3420 words)

Goodwill Games The Australian team will be up against the best swimmers from Team USA, European Allstars and the World Allstars when they compete in a round-robin format for a total prize purse of $508,000 (USD). ``Australian swimmers are rewriting the record books and putting in a phenomenal effort by competing in the Goodwill Games, particularly on the back of a busy schedule including the recent World Championships in Japan and the National Short Course Championships in Perth,'' Mr Rose said.

AFL All-Australian team announced The "spine" provided the biggest talking points of this year's AFL All-Australian team as 10 players received the honour for the first time. While only five All-Australians held their places from last year, Adelaide's Mark Ricciuto will captain the team for the second-straight season and this will be his eighth All-Australian selection. Brisbane's era of domination in the AFL ended this season and that was reflected in the All-Australian picks. news.ninemsn.com.au /article.aspx?id=60116   (539 words)

Canoe Polo Forums - What do you think of each team's style of play. I have played the French team in previous years and I can assure you that the French team were giving as good as they were getting in their own style. The funny thing is that the first thing that every Australian says after their first game against a European team is "I can't believe how much they cheat!" and I'm sure the experience is similar the first time a European plays an Australian team :p. When you and your team mates have invested years and many $ (remeber that in those days all Australian team members were self funded), backing away from an opportunity to exploit an opponents weakness is not an option. www.canoepolo.com /forum/printthread.php?t=499   (2340 words)

Wayne Carey -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) Pagan designed the team's offence around Carey, instructing other forwards to make space and draw their direct opponents well away from the goals to make space for Carey, a tactic which became known as "Pagan's Paddock". It was left to Carey again to lift his team out of despair and that he did, in one quarter, playing one of most inspirational finals performances in recent memory, kicking 4 goals and seeing off Tim McGrath and Leigh Colbert. Despite his widely recognised skill, he was not well-liked by fans of opposing teams, who regarded him as arrogant yet could not deny wanting to have him in their respective teams, as he tore opposition defences apart and left mental scars with some that would last entire careers. psychcentral.com /psypsych/Wayne_Carey   (1141 words)

Sports Australia - AFL News Article: SportsAustralia’s 2005 All-Australian Team Review [Sep 6, 2005] Last night, the All-Australian side for 2006 was revealed, opening the door for the customary debate, standard criticism and routine controversy associated with the annual identification of the AFL’s top 22. Though probably the most contentious line in the team, these three were excellent performers for their respective sides. Named in the team for the eighth time and appointed captain for the second successive year, Ricciuto continues to get better with age, leading unheralded Adelaide to the minor premiership for the first time in club history. sportsaustralia.com /articles/sep05/artid3709.html   (941 words)

www.cyclingnews.com news and analysis For now, the team remains purely a development squad, where talented young riders have the opportunity to learn all the nuances of becoming a professional without being pressured to produce results. But I think an Australian team coming across, that political bias would be almost nonexistent which could make things a little easier.
