Banter 2017 - Best 22

[Wojcinski]

We still have a way to go with possible changes during this trade period, so to keep things simple I'm going to only use players currently on our list

B: Ruggles Lonergan Kolojashnij
HB: Thurlow Henderson Taylor
C: Guthrie JSelwood Duncan
HF: Caddy Stanley Motlop
F: Bartel Hawkins Menzel
R: Smith Dangerfield Menegola
I: SSelwood Blicavs McCarthy Cockatoo
E: Gregson Lang Mackie

Bartel and Lonergan may retire and Caddy might be traded so a few changes to come. How does that look?

 

[HaroLad]

Cowan is best 22 for me, kid has talent.

 

[STP18]

Need to see who is training the house down during pre-season before I partake.

 

[FullBack30]

B: Kolodjashnij, Henderson, Lonergan
HB: Thurlow, Taylor, Bews
C: Duncan, Caddy, Guthrie
HF: Cockatoo, Stanley, Motlop
F: McCarthy, Hawkins, Menzel
R: Smith, Dangerfield, J Selwood
I: Lang, S Selwood, Menegola, Blicavs
E: Mackie, Gregson, Ruggles

(assuming Bartel retires)

 

[Cezz The Catter]

Gregson will comeback with a vengeance mark my words.

 

[Wojcinski]

Cowan is best 22 for me, kid has talent.

I actually forgot about him I'd probably swap him with Bartel (if he retires)

 

[Hamingja]

B: Tuohy Henderson Kolodjashnij
HB: Thurlow Taylor Mackie
C: Duncan Selwood Guthrie
HF: Deledio Stanley Motlop
F: McCarthy Hawkins Menzel
R: Smith Dangerfield S.Selwood
I: Blicavs Menegola Cockatoo Bews

Well looking unlikely at the moment...

Prelim 22 - Enright - Bartel + Thurlow + Tuohy.

Bews/Ruggles fight out that spot.

Buggered if I know what they will do with CHF. Stanley/Henderson/Taylor doesn't appeal.

Our forward line is very bare, the only real locks are Menzel and Hawkins, the rest are fill-in's. We bat fairly deep in the middle so we may see Motlop more permanently up forward in 2017, even so, the other 3 or so spots will be filled by resting ruckmen/midfielders. Hopefully we do something about that before the end of the trade period or in the national draft.

 

[robstar1984]

bews ruggles koldjashnij
henderson thurlow cowan
menegola dangerfield selwood
smith or stanley duncan guthrie
cockatoo taylor gregson
Menzel hawkins Mccarthy
motlop scooter blic caddy
that would have to be our best 22

 

[year of the cat]

Can we wait until we know who's on our list first?

 

[bulletproof]

Need to see who is training the house down during pre-season before I partake.

Everyone trains the house down every year - even Motlop started early this year with his discovery of a Hotel treadmill.

Why would you want to do something sensible like that?

Because my skills as a soothsayer are very poor.

And we're off.

Is this the slowest team in the history of slow teams? Especially that defence. Wowee that is super slow.

Premature ejaculation post?

How exactly do gou think we will get deledio with our cap issues? He is on as much as dangerfield.

Needs an injection of pace. Put Blicavs back there instead of Ruggles.

Can't do it. Who would replace our express wingman?

 

[catempire]

Ah this old doozy.

 

[Toe Poke]

This is a really weird thread, and it's less than a day old. Some posters have listed a team with players not yet on the official list. Some posters have excluded players (currently on the list) based on the assumption that they will retire. There was a post which used the preliminary final team as a starting point, but as another poster pointed out, that excludes players missing from that game, including Menzel. As much as I like best-22 threads, I'm not going to list a team until the trade period is over at the very least.

It was purely based on the two we are interested in.
Well`s wouldnt have publicly stated it if he didnt think we had a chance of pulling it off
