Macca19 predicted Round 1 team

[Ralph Lorenz]

shakes head

Not another anti-pittard

I'm probably one that isn't completely sold on Impey, but i will leave it at that because last time i pointed out his deficiencies i wasn't all that popular on here. Got a lot of potential yes, and still early days for him, but i'd feel a lot more confident with Oshea in his place. Oshea really impressed me towards the end of last year.

Problem is players like Ballantyne would turn players like O'Shea inside out, we don't have many other small defensive options outside Impey. And for what it's worth I think Jarman will be something special, he does things very few players are capable of. He just needs experience and that only comes with game time, not saying you're wrong at all just saying I think we need to persist with Jarman.

The run and goal by Chad were amazing but the Neade effort to hold the ball in against 2 larger opponents took me back to Michael Wilson's double tackle on Mark Riccuito to release the ball in a showdown for a Port goal.

 

[Macca_1870]

My R1 22 would be:

FB: Jonas Carlisle Broadbent
HB: Pittard Trengove Hombsch
C: Polec Wines Hartlett
HF: R.Gray Westhoff White
FF: Neade Schulz Wingard

R: Lobbe Boak Ebert
I/C: Impey Young Cornes O'Shea

Cant see Monfries or Ryder being available and Wingard is touch and go.

Impey/O'Shea can slot into defensive roles releasing Broadbent to midfield rotations. Polec/Broadbent and Hartlett delivering balls into the F50 is scary good!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Outside of injuries and the drug saga issue, I cant see how our starting 22 dont come from the 22 players who played in all 3 finals and Ryder. Impey, Krak, Young, Stewart, etc havent done enough to jump ahead of those 23, so if all 23 are available our Rd 1 side comes from them.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Of course Kenny might say Ryder, Monfries, Jacko and Wingard arent match fit yet - or he doesnt want to play all 4 in the one game in Perth on potentially a warm Perth day. My basic point is I havent seen enough yet, from the outside the best 23 fringe players, to force out of the side the inside the best 23 fringe players yet this preseason. Krak however is giving it a good shake.

I think Young has done enough to be considered ahead of Moore. The idea of Moore is more appealing but Young is simply a more productive player at the moment. He does all the things you want Moore to do. That said, if we're playing Moore at AFL level for development with the purpose of turning him into an inside beast, so be it #inkern etc

 

[Powerstufff]

Because Krak is a key position forward who can replace Ryder/Westhoff/Schulz in the event of a late injury ....

They are different players. Impey is your lock down small defender who can do a bit of damage running off an opponent but is primarily a stopper. O'Shea is your classic third tall (or fifth tall in our case) peeling off to intercept mark and then create the rebound from defence. Horses for courses, pretty much.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Holy hell just looked at the team and Macca does not have Paul Stewart in our best 29 WHAT????? He has been the standout in the trials and NABS and probably our only defensive back man agaist West Coast 100% efficiency and 6 1% era none come within cooee of his stats....Also I would have Sam Gray before Neady he Is becoming a one trick pony that other sides have worked out dodge a bit and duck to get high tackle...not working anymore

Welcome aboard mate,good to have you.
I agree re Paul Stewart esp after his game at the Parade. Hopefully he gets a decent run on the w/end.
Gray before Neade?.. errr.. dunno bout that, but hey thats what BF's all about. Your view,my view ='s our vision.

gotta agree here. there arent many teams that would select sam gray over neade.

 

[port always]

O,Shae and Pittard, and Broadbent are not defenders..They play a sweeping game that relies on someone getting the ball to them..We can only afford one sweeper My back line

Jonas Carlile Homsh

Stewart Trengove pittard

Broadbent can rotate thru the middle ...

Umm, yeah, this is wrong.

Nonetheless, welcome to BF.

 

[Kingfish73]

Hombsch Carlile Jonas
Broadbent trengove Pittard
Polec Wines Hartlett
Wingard Hoff Ebert
Ryder Schulz Neade

Lobbe Boak Gray
Int cornes white Monfries

Pittard is a very good one on one defender.
He is also quick to react and can be the first defender to get to where the action is and because of that is at times blamed for losing one on ones ... against someone else's player.

That is a big part of the reason for divided opinions with fans, where some will say he kept his opponent quiet whereas others will say his opponent got a couple of goals in the same game. They are talking about different opposition players. That is a strength and not a weakness.

IMO both Pittard and Impey will play a big part in us winning premierships or not in the next couple if years.

It's also worth noting that Pittard, O'Shea and Hombsch combined have roughly the same experience as someone like Carlile on his own.
56+ 58 + 39 = 153 games Vs 152

Impey is yet to play 20 games.

Wrong There stats are all uncontested possessions and hardly any 1% era which means they do the easy stuff Pittard and O,Shae would be better on the wing

 

[*PAF]

100% disagree.

 

[Jason K]

Why does everyone keep putting Polec on the wrong wing?

 

[Ralph Lorenz]

Pittard and O,Shae would be better on the wing

In Ken we trust > port always

 

[FallingLiefs]

Wrong

Just because they don't play lock down doesn't mean they are not defending. And stats shmats, 1%ers are spoils and other things champ data can't be bothered recording. having a low number of spoils doesn't nessacarily mean you aren't defending. It more means you have let your opponent have enough space to get the ball kicked to him, but the kick wasn't good enough and the opponent gave you a chance to spoil it. Jasper is a superb defender who rarely concedes goals on the number 1 resting midfielder. O'Shea is a great reader and super hard runner, often stopping those goals over the back. Defending isn't just beating players in 1 on 1s.

 

[Forzaport]

If Pittard couldn't defend he wouldn't be in the team.

 

[philreich]

If Pittard couldn't defend he wouldn't be in the team.

And barring injuries, while Hinkley is the coach, Pittard WILL be in the team.

 

[Young Gun #6]

What are people's opinions on neade. Is he 22 material?

I feel like without Monfries he will always have a place in the team. I'm just not sure how much value he adds. I know he is young and is expected to be inconsistent and patchy, but, is he good enough to be in our best 22 when we have a full side to choose from?

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Young plays round 1 for me

yes he needs to kick more goals but we must stick with him
