The best 22 is not the best 22 players. Team balance is everything.
One thing people are that we have traditionally played 3 talls in the forward line - Last year it was Hurley/Crameri and Ryder/TBell. Now we have added JD to the equation, swapped Hurley and Carlisle and have Ambrose play the Crameri role. It will be JD who keeps T-Bell out of the team. And T-Bell will play when JD or Ryder don't play.
No Ambrose is a lead up player. Last year Hawthorn played Bailey in the ruck with Hale, Roughead, Franklin and Gunston up forward. I reckon they went all right last year! Carlise is a great set of hands and Daniher is more mobile.
Like I said earlier:
Ambrose Daniher Winderlich
Chapman Carlise Ryder
Is a very mobile forward line. However, the team looks very good with Ryder on the ball because his pace makes up for the fact that our inside mids are pretty slow. So when Ryder plays on the ball a forward line like:
Ambrose Daniher Chapman
Winderlich Carlise Bellchambers
Would work well with Daniher pushing up a bit, he's alright up the wings, Ambrose as the lead up players that hands back to the midfield and Chapman adding a level of class just forward of the midfield. Then Carlisle and Bellchambers can spread the to KPDs and Winderlich's pace will be great leading from the square/pocket.
We then have a ruck combination that can match it with anyone. Watson, Hocking, Howlett, Goddard, Myers and Heppell can win plenty of ball inside the pack, North have been sensational in there lately and we smashed them, and with Dempsey returning we have lots of run from him and Hibberd out of the backline, Hurley and Fletcher's kicking is also very good and we showed how well we can hold onto the ball against North too. So with Bellchambers and Carlisle deep, kicking long will be very damaging too. Winderlich's pace and smarts leading up will further spread the defence in a smart play. Daniher will provide an option leading from 50 and Ambrose will work hard up the ground to provide options out of the backline AND provide great defensive pressure.
