If Green goes replace with Maric
If Wheatley goes replace with Bartram or Dunn
 
Probably not the smartest time to make this thread, considering several of those players might not even be at the club in a few days time.

I took it that this has been put onto the forum because we are all getting a bit frustrated that we dont seem to be progressing any trades at the moment.

I am hopeful that we do trade some of our players for draft picks or Thorp or a ruckman.

Surely some of our draft picks will be sent out to play next year simply to get expireince, and given there may be considerable benefits of finishing with less wins than say 5.......could be a great year for development.

Thats actually not too bad a side i reckon.
 
Valenti should be in our best 22 easy and none of you have put him in your sides.

He makes the team over guys like bartram, bell and moloney.

very few are convinced Valenti will be promoted yet, if he is then i see him as a regular in our side but until then he will remain out of most predictions

You're calling Junior a depth player in the side that finished 16th?

Robbo an emergency? Watts at FF? CJ an emergency?

Get Robbo in and get Watts out, bloody hell the bloke will get manhandled in the AFL if we throw him straight in.

That's the side i would LIKE to see.
 
Valenti will have to be promoted id assume given the fact he was fantastic in the 10 or so games he played this year.

I dont exactly understand how the rookie list works.

cant we just put pick 51 on the rookie list.

so then wona and valenti can be elevated

along with pick 1,17,19 and 35 being on the senior list?
 
You'd like to continue the beltings that we've been receiving?
I dont think it looks too bad on paper. I think it's alot better then this years side anyway. Maybe replace junior with grimes but i would rather see grimes out there any day of the week.

Carlton also look good on paper and is that the case? No it is not.

Need some more experience in that team, might be a 2010 team but not 2009.

The rookie list is a separate list, you put players on it from drafting them in the rookie draft. So no you can't put pick 51 on the rookie list, despite the fact that he is unlikely to play in 2009. If you promote Valenti our draft picks might change from 1, 17, 19, 35, 51 PSD 1, Rookie draft 1, to 1,17,19,35 PSD 1, Rookie draft 1, 17. So there is a significant benefit to leaving Valenti on the list, where as Wona showed enough form in a position we are weaker in to be promoted. Plus you are odds on to have a long term injury very often during the year so Valenti should get his chance. For example if we drafted Prismall he would be on the long term injury list for atleast the first half of the year and Valenti would get his chance.

Can we please ban people who place this years draft picks in our best 22? Yes we are shit but we aren't as shit as having this years draft picks that we haven't even drafted yet in our best 22.

Maric's got to fit in there ... Who is this Shoemaker Dude ??? Jamar as first ruck :confused:, granted we dont have much choice. Maybe PJ or we blood Martin, like Carltank did with Kruezer.

Grimesy has to definately get a gig. Swift ?? or Buckley out.

you've obviously had your sense of humour surgically removed.

Lighten up pal.

Hard to fit Macca in but he could replace Grimesy
 
I'm leaving Robbo out because I don't think he will be right to go in round 1, obviously best 22's change after every match, so I'm making the team I would love to see play in round one.

FB: Whelan Martin Garland (big Stef needs to play every game he can)
HB: CJ Rivers Bell (have faith with Bell and Rivers)
C: Morton McLean Green
HF: Davey Bate Bruce
FF: Wona Miller Sylvia (missing a tall, but should have 3 to choose from at the end of the year - Robbo, Juice, Watts)
Foll: Jamar McDonald Dunn
Int: PJ Bartram Moloney Jones

Unlucky: Buckley, Grimes, Maric, Newton, Warnock, Petterd, Wheatley, Frawley

Not unlucky: Weetra

Something I'd like to see next year is McLean, Moloney, Jones, McDonald, Dunn become the real men in the middle, similar to Bartel, Selwood, Corey, Ablett, Ling at the cats. I want these guys to become better at clearances and work up and down the middle of the ground. Then Bruce, Green, Morton, Davey, Buckley especially can spend more time on the wings, Davey and Buckley have great pace and Morton and Bruce amazing running capacity, I'd like to see them use it more and then leave the brunt of the midfield work to tougher players (who need to improve their speed to be like Geelongs midfield). Also I'd like to see more rotations betwee the forward line and midfield of Bruce, Green, Davey and Sylvia.

How is adding draft picks humorous? Maybe he should lighten up because this is a speculative thread and you're just speculating, but hardly funny.

It is a bit annoying though, there are plenty of threads about who people would like us to draft, you don't have to turn this into another one. Maybe this should be 'based on our current list, name your 2009 team'. Once we've drafted players, then you can add them in.

Nothing wrong with the sense of humour, it's just been trained to only laugh at things that are funny.

And that's not one of those things.


Thanks guys i've taken your comments on board, and i will deliver my best 22 for 2009 after more careful and serious consideration. It might take a while though...

I know Dean Bailey and the match committee are monitoring the BigFooty forum around-the-clock just waiting for that elusive bit of expert advice that could put us right in the mix. And Dez!, i've heard a whisper that Bailey rates your informed thoughts on the game very highly, so keep up the good work, the club is counting on you!!!;)
