Did you think we wouldn’t notice you shoehorning yourself into a forward pocket you crafty devil?


I won’t say anything if you put me in the other one.

How's your forward craft?

 

[Kes1984]

I don't even want to try to do this. Does my head in to try and fit about 25 players into the 23.

 

[manicpie]

How's your forward craft?

47 in a season is my best hall but that was 40 years ago, lol

 

[Peters_Nuts]

47 in a season is my best hall but that was 35 years ago, lol

Sounds like you're in the perfect age bracket for our squad.

 

[manicpie]

Sounds like you're in the perfect age bracket for our squad.

I did a recalculation and it was 40 years ago but I'm still young enough

 

[YouBeauty]

degoey sub you're taking the absolute piss don't quit your day job

 

[manicpie]

degoey sub you're taking the absolute piss don't quit your day job

Won't happen because they've already said they're going to give him a couple of VFL games

 

[The Plowking]

Best side for finals...

In: Schultz, Creepy, DeGoey, Hill, Frampton possibly.

Out: farked i know. Natural injury attrition i guess?!

 

[Run n Spread]

How so? Frampton will be important for the teams you mentioned he doesn't play against:

• Geelong = Neale
• Brisbane = Morris
• Freo = Treacey, Amiss or Jackson
• Hawks = Chol (towelled him up already)
• Suns = King

Neale is not that good imo to warrant playing a pure stopper at the expense of extra drive and speed
Morris read above bit possible
Jackson would be too mobile and run him raggard
Chol and King others can handle

This is exactly how I hope the team will look come finals, definitely would give Membrey the nod over Cox.

 

[whiskeytown]

degoey sub you're taking the absolute piss don't quit your day job

Don’t be so arrogant.

De Goey has a lot of work and match play to get through before he is a shoe in… especially given the depth at hand

He hasn’t done a huge amount in the games he’s played this year… hasn’t been able to play mid as much

So like Mitchell… if his form or fitness doesnt cut it, then they will be left out in September

[manicpie]

Just have a feeling we’ll rest MANIC for the finals.

It feels like 1983 all over again

 

[Drought Break]

They do say that the strength of your list is determined by the quality of your bottom 6. That holds us in good stead

 

[legendstatus]

If we lose every game (outside Tigers of course) this is how we finish, I had us losing around 20-30 pts in those game. So surely we can better this !!

 

[Bianconeri]

This is exactly how I hope the team will look come finals, definitely would give Membrey the nod over Cox.

I would in most circumstances too but I think Cox gave the selectors something to think about if we come up against a dominate ruck like Witts in the finals.

 

[Finnishpie]

Are we doing best of most likely? I think the likely team is:

But we'll get a few unexpected injuries along the way, which means emergencies: Ed Allan, Markov, Sullivan, Dean are all possibilities.

 

[Prexm]

Are we doing best of most likely? I think the likely team is:

B: Jeremy Howe ~ Billy Frampton ~ Brayden Maynard
HB: Josh Daicos ~ Darcy Moore ~ Dan Houston

M: Steele Sidebottom ~ Scott Pendlebury ~ Jack Crisp
R: Darcy Cameron ~ Ned Long ~ Nick Daicos

HF: Beau McCreery ~ Brodie Mihocek ~ Pat Lipinski
F: Jamie Elliott ~ Dan McStay ~ Bobby Hill

I/C: Lachie Schultz ~ Isaac Quaynor ~ Harry Perryman ~ Tim Membrey
Sub: Jordan De Goey


But we'll get a few unexpected injuries along the way, which means emergencies: Ed Allan, Markov, Sullivan, Dean are all possibilities.

That is my best 23 if everyone is fit as well. Would put Cox WHE and Mitchell as possibilities as well though.

FB: Howe - Frampton - Quaynor
HB: Houston - Moore - Maynard

C: Sidebottom - Pendlebury - Crisp
FOLL: Cameron - N. Daicos - J. Daicos

HF: Schultz - Mihocek - McCreery
FF: Elliott - McStay - Hill

INT: Perryman - Lipinski - Membrey - De Goey
SUB: Long

EMG: Cox - Allan - Mitchell

Perryman as 7th defender, Membrey gives McStay the chop out when he rucks and rests, De Goey plays as the 4th midfielder, and Lipinski plays almost exclusively as a high half forward.

You’ve got 2 Shootas and no Billy’s.

Looks perfect with that line up though.
