2022 22 under 22 team

Remove this Banner Ad

I'll disagree with Blakey being lucky, think his season was a smokey for AA squad yet alone U22, but I'll agree that naming 4 HBF and shoehorning some into a back pocket is an issue.
Equally 3 small forwards that typically play FP being named on the field, 1 of them should be bench and a genuine HFF on the ground.
Genuine HFF like Nic Martin

Why are so many people sleeping on this guy? He’ll win the brownlow in his career. He is so so so ******* good. I guess nobody has watched much Essendon footy this year and who could blame them.
 
Only pick 2 running HB flankers not 5.
Gulden should be on a HFF
Rozee should be moved to a wing
Petty should be in one of the back pockets
Fogerty should be in a FP and would make the forward line a nightmare to match up on.
One of Duke or Warner should be starting mid over Smith if we are serious about 2022 form.
 
Don't understand it at all, so many poor calls.

No Newcombe is ridiculous.

Warner on the bench?

Gulden not there??

Duke is a bit unlucky but it’s a position with a ton of competition so it isn’t that bad. Also it’s tan voted, this is probably one of the least relevant accolades in the AFL. Good recognition for the ones that make it but eh I would hope not too many are getting worked up over it

Yeah, fan voted obviously, just shows how dumb most fans are.

Duke is stiff for elite competition, but there's options here to make it A. Work and B. Reward good players and not just players who get in due to allocated positions etc.
 
Who is Newcombe? Is he meant to be good or something.

Hey man, you can’t post IRL photos of posters.

Yeah don’t really wanna see photos of him in his mums basement. But I’ll cut him some slack for being a hawks supporter they are in for a very long drought. Especially with this dud Newcombe.

Hawks fans when they realise Newcombe didn't make the team...
I reckon we kind of expect it these days.

Without looking Newcombe would possibly be top 5 of all eligible players in this squad for coaches votes this year as he was coming 24th in the comp before the votes were locked out for the remaining 2 rounds, but he can't even scrape onto the bench in this team. Meh.

After all it is fan voted so wouldn't think into it to much, but he seems the sort of player to use the snub as motivation
