Thomas Vermaelen was also absent but he is suspended for Fridays

West Coast coach Adam Simpson was none too pleased with two of his stars making the trip to Melbourne for Thursdays All Australian function.Josh Kennedy and Jeremy McGovern were both included in the All Australian team, while Kennedy was presented with the Coleman medal at the event.Kennedy and McGovern both missed training to attend the ceremony.He (Simpson) is probably just not happy because we fly a fair bit during the year and weve chucked an extra flight in when we probably didnt have to, Kennedy told the Seven Network.With the finals series as well, if we keep pushing forward weve got to fly a bit. Its probably not ideal, but it is what it is.The league introduced a pre-finals bye this season, hoping it would allow players based outside Victoria to attend the All Australian event.In previous years most clubs involved in finals have refused to let stars attend the Brownlow count, All Australian function and other award nights.Yes, of course, Simpson said, when asked if hed prefer Kennedy and McGovern stayed in Perth.But we also respect the award and the recognition and the demands.McGovern was one of nine stars to earn All-Australian honours for the first time.Sydneys Luke Parker and Dane Rampe, Adelaide on-baller Rory Sloane, Richmond gun Dustin Martin, Western Bulldogs whizkid Marcus Bontempelli, Melbourne ruckman Max Gawn, Gold Coast forward Tom Lynch and GWSs Toby Greene were the other debutants.Joel Selwood was named All Australian skipper for the third time, leaving Wayne Carey as the only player to have received that honour more than the Geelong captain.Its changed a lot. I was fortunate enough in my younger years that I was surrounded by a lot of players that could have done the job at the time too, Selwood said of his leadership approach over the past five years.Meanwhile, McGovern delivered one of the most memorable moments of the night by detailing how he recently celebrated catching an elusive red emperor.I dont know if it is a ritual - but it is now. When you catch it youve got to pull the heart out and eat the heart while its still beating, the defender said on stage.So if anyone ever catches one, make sure you do it. Cheap Fake Vans .

We could also wait and see how they will react but thats not part of our philosophy.We have to be calm and patient. We have to take our game to Wales and try to pierce their defense. ' ' '
