2020 Consensus 22: name the team FFS

[Stamos]

Charlie is a Full Forward.

HF: McGovern, McKay, Martin
F: Betts, Charlie, Cuningham

7th: Jack

 

[Jeremias]

How are you going to pick 7 midfielders..

LOCKSCripps, Murphy, Curnow, Walsh
PROBABLES ✔Setterfield, Fisher
POSSIBLESGibbons, Dow, Stocker, O'Brien, Kennedy Newman, Newnes, Williamson
KIDS Philp, Honey, Cottrell, Kemp, Ramsay

Good luck choosing only one of those possibles.

We have plenty of talent coming through, but picking this group is pretty easy IMO.

As much as I've pushed for some in that group of possibles, there's a pretty clear 7th I think, to start the year at least. But I don't expect him to get the most votes because he's not the 'sexy' choice nor is he particularly young.

It'll be interesting to see when the mids poll comes around.

We didn't recruit Newnes to play VFL footy that's for sure.

			Plow	Jones	Simmo
	Backs						SPS
			Doc	Weiters	Newman
	Mids		Setters	Murphy	Walsh		Fisher
							Gibbons
			Kruezer	Cripps	E.Curnow
	Forwards		Martin	McKay	Cunningham		JSoS
			Betts	Charlie	McGovern
	Emrgencies		Marchback	Newnes	Casboult

the only thing is I think Casboult has to play if we are playing a mature side like Richmond in round 1...especially vs. Rance & Grimes...an in form Cas could intimidate whereas others wont imho

Levi will likely play round 1 because Charlie won't be fit, it will have nothing to do with how mature the opposition is, or how intimidating our other forwards are.

I think it's much harder picking the mids group than the forwards or backs.
I see 7 lock forwards, 6 backs + Simmo, but only 5 cert mids, with serious competition for the last 2 spots.

 

[Red Bull]

Maybe bench. If not, Emergencies.

I'm not his biggest fan(of which there are many, probably too many imho). But i'm not closed to him. There is definately something there, just not convinced it's real as opposed to wishful.

Big year for him no doubt. Plays as a 23yo all next year. It's time. Hope he brings it.

I’m a Cuningham believer but this is a fair call.
Cuningham ticks a lot of boxes that i consider necessary to make the grade as an AFL footballer but obviously a crucial ingredient is continuity and consistency on the park, something he is yet to but must now deliver if he is to survive and thrive.

Cuningham Curnow Martin
Betts McKay McGovern

Replace Betts with Papley next season and it’s a forward line primed and ready to create havoc for quite some time ...

 

[JuddgementDay]

Now that we have our full list, I thought I might give this another go.
Assuming everyone is fit and ready to go in RD1

RD23 - 2019
B Nic Newman , Lachie Plowman , Will Setterfield
HB Dale Thomas , Jacob Weitering , Sam Petrevski-Seton
C Lochie O'Brien , Paddy Dow , Ed Curnow
HF Matthew Kennedy , Harry McKay , Levi Casboult
F Jack Silvagni , Patrick Cripps , Mitch McGovern
FOL Matthew Kreuzer , Marc Murphy , Sam Walsh

I/C Kade Simpson , Zac Fisher , David Cuningham , Josh Deluca



RD1 - 2020
B Sam Docherty, Liam Jones, Lachie Plowman
HB Caleb Marchbank , Jacob Weitering , Sam Petrevski-Seton
C Will Setterfield, Patrick Cripps, Ed Curnow
HF David Cuningham , Harry McKay , Jack Martin
F Eddie Betts, Charlie Curnow , Mitch McGovern
FOL Matthew Kreuzer , Marc Murphy , Sam Walsh

I/C Kade Simpson, Zac Fisher, Jack Silvagni, Lochie O'Brien

Only six changes, but the team looks so much stronger, with a few players moved around a bit!

Most impressively is who misses out & ready to step up?
Newman
Newnes
Caz
Dow
Stocker
Kennedy
Williamson
Gibbons

The new boys got plenty of time to find their feet

 

[murphster]

Not a lot of love for Gibbons. Could surprise a few.

Our squad has definitely improved, but I honestly thought he finished off the year quite strongly as a half forward/midfielder.

Unless people have him in our midfield, I reckon he'll get more game time in the 1's than what most people are expecting.

This!!! I agree wholeheartedly Gibbons second half of the year was really good playing the high Hf pushing up to the wings and linking up, was involved in most of our great ball movement down the left wing and played that role fantastic even covered for O’Brien when he found himself out of position, will be hard to keep out of the side based on exposed form.

 

[Matty411]

Gibbons is a perfect example of a 19-22 player. Rarely the best but never the worst. Coaches will love him and players even more. If he's in your 22, he won't let you down and is a good sign your side is doing well.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

With roughly 130 votes for Consensus forwards, Cuningham is comfortably our sixth forward and just over half have voted JSOS for the seventh, bench spot ahead of Fisher, Kennedy, Casboult and Gibbons.

Fisher might be close for the last midfielder’s spot (quick guess Cripps, Ed, Walsh, Murphy, Setterfield, Newnes and O’Brien).

Arguably the seventh forward could be a surprise player each week, say SPS one week if there is no match up in defence, Fisher if we want an extra midfielder to rotate, JSOS if we want the 4th tall-ish forward or if we need an extra shut-down midfielder ...

Charlie is a Full Forward.

HF: McGovern, McKay, Martin
F: Betts, Charlie, Cuningham

7th: Jack

same but kennedy replacing cunerrs......

 

[Stamos]

same but kennedy replacing cunerrs......

Too unbalanced, we need the speed

 

[thylacine60]

no

 

[gandaal]

no

We were as slow as molasses this year thy

 

[thylacine60]

I didn't say cunners wasn't in the 22..........

 

[Mr_Plow]

As handy as Kennedy was around goals, he did absolutely nothing the other way. That just doesn't work in 2019/2020.

 

[thylacine60]

now I insist he plays forward........

 

[Arr0w]

Newnes, Newman a lock for the 1st half of the year, rest will be up to them

Martin plays all year

compare our rd1 2020 team to our rd 23 2018 team, and prepare for a laugh...

 

[Mr_Plow]

Newnes, Newman a lock for the 1st half of the year, rest will be up to them

Martin plays all year

Would think the veterans get the benefit of the doubt re starting spots.

But a super strong pre-season from certain players would make things very interesting.

Competition for spots is what pushes players to another level

Main reason for my prediction is Teague wanting to player senior/experienced bodies, especially early

I hope he gets the transition right

If Marchbank and Docherty are fit, I think Newman misses.

I don't think so

 

[Stamos]

I don't think so

Who are you chopping for him to play?
