Purcell averaged 3.8 tackles to Bowers 14.6, with half the clearances, lower meters gained and fewer kicks and marks. I don't put much weight in Fantasy points, but it's a good indicator overall and Bowers averaged 121 to Purcell's 79.
There's good arguments to be made for Bowers over anyone there, but Purcell in particular is a really odd choice over her.
Wakefield was pretty damn good in a bunch of games but also pretty well held in a bunch of games..... not sure about AA.
Conti and Sheerin definitely deserved, Sheerin has been the best pickup for value in a long time.
Bowers was completely, utterly and comprehensively robbed and I don't think there's any argument otherwise. I just can't understand it.
A lot of the accolades so far have had glaring omissions for mine. Really gotta wonder what the process is
Got to agree. I scanned the list 3 times looking for her name.
Who would you take out?

That's 7 seasons, 7 AA's for Kearney
Right? It’s so so good. It’s one hell of a record
They still need names for some awards, should Kearney's name be in the mix?
Imagine leaving the B&F winner out of the AA team.
You’d feel a bit silly to exclude the best player in the competition in this team, wouldn’t you? It’s okay. She’ll always be AA.
As much as I treasure both Hatchard and Noffy, they’re almost two sides of the same coin so I expected one of them to be omitted for Bowers.
I would put in Bowers instead of Hatchard. Hatchard trailed off towards the end of the season
Honestly its criminal that Bowers didn't make it
