St Kilda great Leigh Montagna has left a scathing review of the All-Australian side, questing three of the selections made for the class of 2020.

Montagna said the selectors made a number of mistakes, with the choice of West Coast pair Liam Ryan and Brad Sheppard particularly questionable.

โ€œI think it was a six out of 10. I think they made a few mistakes in this side,โ€ Montagna said on Triple M's Dead Set Legends.ย 

โ€œIโ€™m not massive on having to pick exactly a wingman, exactly a half forward, I donโ€™t mind that youโ€™ve gotta reward generally the best 22 players of the season, not necessarily it has to be to position.โ€

Eagles champion Glen Jakovich came under Montagna's blowtorch, suggesting some favouritism may have come from the Western Australian.

โ€œI was surprised by a few and I think whoever was the Western Australian representative and I think it was Glen Jakovich, I think he obviously flexed his muscle,โ€ he said.

โ€œOut of the small forward spots, I thought Butler and Papley were clearly two ahead of Liam Ryan. Ryanโ€™s last six rounds of the year were excellent but for consistency I thought Butler shouldโ€™ve got it and Papley was obviously really good.

โ€œIn the backline, Brad Sheppard I know he had a nice year, he was consistent but I thought Nick Vlastuin, Dylan Grimes, Jacob Weitering, even Tom Jonas and certainly Brayden Maynard all had better years than Brad Sheppard.โ€

Montagna also questioned the selection of Demon Max Gawn, stating the Melbourne captain was "very lucky" to find a place in the side.

โ€œSimply put, if you finish fifth in your clubโ€™s best and fairest in a team that doesn't make finals, I donโ€™t think that equates to an All-Australian season from my perspective,โ€ he said.

โ€œMax Gawn was very lucky to make the side.โ€
