Thats usually our game plan , we will kick a lot more goals with bruce up forward, our forward line seems so much more dangerous with him in itGoals will be kicked on the turnover especially in early rounds but if we can lock the ball inside 50 we will have that backline locked down
So many posters have failed to include our premiership defender (yes i know he played as a CHF in the grand final) Zaine Cordy not only on the feild but not in the team period.
This baffles me.
It really does make me wonder what you all see when you watch a game of football.
What is the problem with Cordy?
Now that Keath is in the team Cordy doesn't have to play on the biggest FWD every week and will be a better contributor and overall player as a result.
He is very good at the things that aren't always on the stats sheet and i think that gets lost sometimes especially with supercoach and the like.
Where do you see Weightman going before pick 13?The only potential draftee I could see being in the best 22 next year is Weightman, but it looks like he will be gone before our pick.
Crozier - Trengove - Wood
Johannisen - Keath - Duryea
Hayes - Dunkley - Hunter
Lipinski - Naughton - Wallis
Lloyd - Bruce - Dale
English - Bontempelli - Macrae
B.Smith - Suckling - Daniel - Liberatore
- Williams unlucky, as he was all of 2019. Maybe takes Suckling's spot during the year.
- Cordy has work to do. I think Keath is a better version of him, and Trengove offers more utility and aerial prowess.
- McLean has work to do. Didn't adapt to his forward role well this year, only averaging 0.7 goals. No room to be a full-time midfielder.
- Richards had second year blues, needs to earn his spot now imo.
- Liberatore barely gets in. Had a bit of an on-off injury plagued year, and can only play inside midfield. Bont, Macrae and Dunkley are already arguably the best midfield in the competition.
- Wallis is underrated. Has more utility than Liberatore, and proved he can play forward well in 2018. If he stays injury-free, I think he gets a spot ahead of Dicko.
- Schache has work to do. Finished the year pretty well, but was still dropped for 10 games, and doesn't stick his marks reliably.
- Hayes is underrated. Maybe not the most glamorous player, but complements our team balance well with his outside running game. Someone like Liberatore couldn't play the role Hayes played towards the end of last year. I think he has improvement left in him too.
Jason Taylor mentioned him as an option for Melbourne last month. Maybe they cooled on him since. That's for the draft thread though.Where do you see Weightman going before pick 13?

Cannot believe you left McLean out of our best 22, yet included Hayes.Crozier - Trengove - Wood

Watch this highlights package and look for the long 50m passing to advantage that McLean delivers multiple times. We need more players who can deliver like that deep into our forward line, not less.
You don't know what utility means in AFL-related context?Utility: (noun)
1: The quality of being useful.
2: A government owned organization that provides basic needs, water, gas, electricity etc.
3: A motor vehicle with a tray at the back used for carrying medium sized loads.
From the (Latin) utilis, useful.
More useful ? Trengove is more useful than Cordy, Wallis is more useful than Liberatore. It just got me thinkingYou don't know what utility means in AFL-related context?
Multi positional?More useful ? Trengove is more useful than Cordy, Wallis is more useful than Liberatore. It just got me thinking
how many unique AFL words there are and when or who started using them.
It's offseason and the iron curtain that has descended on Whitten Oval gives us little else to talk about.
Can’t argue too much. I’d be going for Dickson instead of Greene, personally.Duryea. Cordy. Wood
Crozier Keath. JJ
Richards. Dunkley Hunter
Smith. Naughts. McLean
Lloyd. Bruce. Greene
Timmy. Bont. McRae
Libba. Daniel. Young. Suckling
Not sure that Fergus will elevate himself to best 22 over the pre-season, but an interesting call. I think Schache will be ahead of him for selection, although different types of player.Duryea. Cordy. Wood

You get grief for being pessimistic, MD, but surely that team excites you.
Is that the highest you've ever predicted us to finish?I like Greene a lot and think Dickos body will fail him. Greene excites me far more than Lipinksi.
yeah it’s a good team that should do well and I predict 4th-7th finish
