Murphy most improved IMO. While being decent last year he was nothing compared to the standards he set in 2011.

Reckon Temay will get another year in the twos and I hope Lukey Reynolds debuts, bit of a slider IIRC.

You have been bagging out Armfield for years and he constantly proves you wrong.

The fact that he has Lighting speed, and is probably our best tackler is reason enough to give him a game.

He is the effort and 1%er king. Guys like Lucas and Yarran have class but id run out much more confident in a final with robbo and army by my side than those two highly skilled but largely offence only type.

There is definitely still room for the armfield types in today's game.

The vast majority of pragmatic supporters would not argue with the majority of this. I love to muck about with Best 22's and the like. We now have over 30 players with legitimate claims, and others on the cusp. The fact is we have a myriad of developing and new players on our list.
The best form of defence has always been attack, providing you have the arsenal to do the job.
Ratten and MM circa 2013 have concentrated on "not losing" more than winning, if that makes sense.
The likes of Bell, Menzel, Graham, Cripps, Docherty and the other youngsters have been recruited to add to our list, to provide the weapons. Moving these blokes from the practice range to the front line has to be a priority. Army is all you have described, but does have his limitations. It is a sad fact that players like Army who are the heart and soul of a club usually have to eventually give way to more talented and creative team mates. We need to become the hunted, not the hunter.

I have included Tommy Bell in the developing players, and readily concede that he could be lumped in the same try hard category as Army. Bell however is showing he wants "it" as much as Armfield, but brings a dimension that we have been lacking for so long. He can get his hands on the ball and get his hands free to dispose of it. A Cripps with more "class" may go past Tom, but for now, his physicallity makes his team mates walk considerably taller. The Murphy's and Judds can play the ball, knowing someone is there to plough a path. IMO, his ability to contribute at the stoppages makes Bell the most attractive of our "try hard" brigade.

The Armfields, and a declining Scotland have genuine claims to best 22 status, I just see on a needs basis, they are the most logical to give way to Menzel, Graham, Cripps, Docherty, Holman, Temay and co. as their form warrants a game.

I also totally agree with your point re Lucas and Yarran, if they cannot improve their intensity and output, to match their skills and "game craft", then I share the opinion that they would be behind the genuine contributers like one D.Armfield regardless of potential or "X" Factor.
 
Sorry coona, but your post makes too much sense and is far too non confrontational.

Ignore list!

2. Grand finalists ? Sydney vs Fremantle
3. Brownlow Medalist ? J Kennedy
4. Coleman Medalist ? L Henderson or J Roughead
5. Rising Star ? No idea
 
3. Who will be our first Debut ?
Can't see any of the new boys ready to step up in their first year but I think Holman looks closest at this stage by way of fitness and endeavour.
Temay the most likely should a situation present.

4. Who do you think will be our most improved players?
20 games or less: Can't go past Menzel here. Just an all around class act. Bell to surprise also.
21 - 100 games: Yarran, Tuohy and Curnow should all step up another notch from last year. Lucas would be a bonus.
100 games+: Easy...............Gibbs. Mick would have worked him out by now. B&F won't surprise.

5. Do you see any one going backwards? If so who?
No reason to see anyone go backwards but some invariably will if for no other reason than being squeezed out of the team by others coming through.
Players with the least pre-season into them, are the most likely to be seen to have gone backwards.

Is Yarran a better tackler than Murphy? ;)

Yarran laid more tackles than nearly everyone bar Robinson. We only remember the goals, but his tackling was a feature after Mick gave him the tough love. People only remember his last game after he went to ground on that ice rink and Parker scored a goal.

Yet I kept him picking in the best 22 last year...

Yarran cops it for Richmond loss after having a shot, yet Armfield had a snap in round 22 when Yarran was free and in a better position. Mongrelled a point.

Yazz received Brownlow votes in that game.

If Thomas replaces Betts, then someone has to make way for Everitt who wasn't recruited to play VFL. Not to mention Menzel, Lucas and Docherty.
