Pick one midfield, one backline, one forwardline, one ruck combo

[Empire_Persian]

Based on this year:

Back: Eagles
Midfield: Power
Forward: Swans
Ruck: Dockers

 

[Scotland]

Which back 6 are people picking from the Eagles?

Glass, Mackenzie, Brown, Bennell, Hurn, Yeo?

One of our better defenders Waters hasn't played and won't play all year.

Our best third tall/rebounding option (IMO) Schofield has barely cracked a game.

Our best user of the ball and one of the best in the comp Hurn has only played 5.

After the Pies game I reckon Yeo will spend less and less time at half back and Hurn is being used forward of centre.

B: Glass Mackenzie Bennell
HB: Sheppard Brown Yeo/Hurn/Ellis

Not sure it's best in the comp standard right now. Mackenzie is a beast and Bennell has been a revelation (is he really the guy who couldn't get a game with Melbourne?) but if we start to take Hurn and Yeo out of there it's not as strong as others.

Took some obvious liberties with some 'midfielders' and 'forwards'. Stuck to the formula of my 2nd ruck being Freo and all my bench mids being Cats...

The way I see it is with the 3 focal points that make it stand out being: Glass (multiple AA and one of the best of his generation) Emac (top 3 FB in the comp right now if not the best, AA squad last year and will make it this year easily) Hurn (top 3 kicks in the AFL and very solid in a defensive way as well)
The support cast is untested so far but Bennell has been a great pick up and changes the whole structure, Mitch Brown playing the season of his life, not that I'd expect people to notice that outside the club and Shep has been very solid and changed many opinions.

Geelong is the only backline I'd have had comparable but then some people have said Hawks with the reasoning of Sam Mitchell playing HBF so it's quite hard to define how people look at certain teams.

The eagles defence was/is statistically one of the best in the league so far this season despite the 110 we just conceded against the pies. I rate them very highly and the way we got smashed by geelong with our B side playing and they kept the score to what it was impressed me a fair bit

Poor Kyle Cheney. He's had more defensive responsibility than any of those players listed and doesn't get a gig.

Sydneys rucks.
Hawthorns defense.
Adelaides forwards
fremantles midfield.

Sydney rucks?!?!?!?
Adelaide's forwards?!?!?
Why wouldn't you choose Sydney's forward line with Goodes, Reid, Tippett and franklin?
Or even the eagles' with Kennedy and darling and lecras? I could go on forever about your strange choices...
Hmmmmmm......

Do you ever wonder why I have over 2000 thousand posts and you a measley 50?

I consider tippet a member of Sydneys rucks. I consider Dangerfield part of Adelaides forwards.

Hahahahahaha
I still don't see how adelaide's forward line is better than any other team's in the comp. E.g. Hawthorn (gunston, breust, roughead), Sydney and, west coast
And I can't understand how Kurt Tippett and Mike Pyke can match it with some of the best ruckman in the league, e.g. Sandilands, cox, etc.

 

[Stikman75]

How is anyone rating the WCE backs? Sydney, Freo and Port have all conceded less (Hawks not far behind) and consider the opposition that the respective sides have played. Sydney and Port have not given up 100 points in a game yet, Freo have once, West Coast have twice.

For mine (and this will obviously sound biased) based on the opposition faced (all nine of the other top ten sides) and the lack of a dominant midfield to reduce pressure I'd have Freo as the best backline followed closely by Sydney.

Backs: Freo
Mids: Port
Fwd: Sydney

Are you implying that post count directly correlates with football knowledge? Lolwat
