Prediction 2023 - Best 22 + Emergencies - Rolling

[Gointocarlton]

I’m having trouble fitting him in for team balance, who would you replace…

Even better what’s your best side?

Btw Gointocarlton Boyd was in for Defense first mentality

Yeah I get it and youre probably spot on. Im more of a no guts no glory type.

Not this year, TDK needs to take at least 70% of ruck time for JSOS to be 2nd ruck

Right now TDK is the 2nd ruck

 

[JuddgementDay]

The club has spoken and this is our best team for the year.
Very strong team indeed!

Personally, I would have change Motlop for Marchbank.
But, those people at the club have seen the team much more than we have - so TRUST!

In terms of who else we are missing - we need to add Z Williams somewhere, and I'm not too sure on JSOS.

BTW - Well done to the AR for getting us almost a full team to choose from!

Half-backs:	Alex Cincotta	Mitch McGovern	Adam Saad

B: McGovern Young Boyd
HB: Saad Weitering Williams
C: Acres Cripps Docherty
HF: Fisher Curnow Walsh
F: Durdin McKay Martin
Foll: TDK Hewitt Cerra
INT: Silvagni Kennedy Motlop Pittonet

From November last year … Newman a glaring omission on reflection!

 

[passmark]

If we can get Williams rolling next year and super fit he could be awesome.

I love Doc but having Zac also rolling through the wings could be a game changer.

He was fit and having a great preseason, such a shame he missed this season.

 

[JuddgementDay]

Williams will be a prized recruit for 2024 to the premiership team

 

[Cringle]

FB: Newman - Weitering - McGovern
HB: Williams - Marchbank - Saad

C: Docherty - Cripps - Acres
OB: De Koning - Cerra - Walsh

HF: Cottrell - McKay - Cuningham
FF: Motlop - Curnow - Martin

Interchange.
Silvagni (R/F)
Boyd (D)
Hewett (OB)
Hollands (W)

 

[Cringle]

Don’t feel like there’s any gettable trade targets that would move the needle this off-season.

2024 Prediction

B: Newman Weitering McGovern
HB: Saad Kemp Williams
C: Docherty Cripps Acres
HF: E. Hollands Curnow Cottrell
F: Martin McKay Motlop
OB: TDK Cerra Walsh
IC: Cowan Hewett O.Hollands Durdin

A few left field choices. Harry to learn to be backup ruck

 

[thebluenewdeal]

For me personally it’s;

Marchbank Weitering Saad
Newman McGovern Williams

Docherty Cripps Acres

Martin McKay Cunners
Owies Charlie TDK

Pitto Cerra Walsh

Hewett Kemp Fogarty Cottrell

Boyd as sub.

Could upgrade some players but it’s really the role and not the player that I wanted to highlight. Surround Crippa, Cerra and Walsh with flankers that have powerful body movement. TDK to stretch defences. If we look too cumbersome then bring in Boyd for fresh legs and push one of gov or kemp up forward. One mid, one defender, one winger and one forward/mid on the pine.

I'd have Pittonet out and TDK main rucking with JSOS replacing him in the forward line.

Last night showed we need another marking target up forward.

 

[passmark]

What’s the general feeling about Saad this season?
Playing much disciplined and still terrific when the ball is on the deck but a bit meh otherwise?

Still don't think TDK is a number 1 ruck. Pitt is our number 1 ruck and he should be. JSOS is not in our best 22.

I think he got the balance right, even though he copped more attention this year

With Boyd locking down on the most dangerous small forward. Also Zac Williams providing extra dash, Saady should be freed up a lot more next season.

Selling JSOS a bit short imo. Was playing sensational footy, just before he hurt his knee.

Got a lot of attention with very little opportunity to run.

Will be much better in 2024 when Williams is running around.

Good luck forward tagging both of them.

New thread is up for 2024 :-

Prediction - 2024 - Best 23 + Emergencies - Rolling

Might as well kick this off nice and early. Suspect it will change somewhat after the trade/draft period and through the preseason Fire away

Having a good preseason is going to make a difference to our side.

We have a fair list of players who could benefit from adding some weight or some running capability or haven't had a good preseason for a while. We have finished the season off with a pretty good looking injury list.

Marchbank settling in as our CHB at the end of the season, he will be a good option there. Has some learning as he hasn't really played the role and hasn't had a preseason for a while either. Marchbank has a big tank and can be a part of our run and carry and link up from half back when fully fit.

Motlop is a player who will be third year and needs to build a tank to become a genuine two way running half back. Something he struggled with at times and if he goes really well could spend some time in the middle, if he gets fit enough.

Williams was having an amazing preseason before going down with a knee, if he comes back lean and fit again then he will be one of our biggest 'recruits'.

DeKoning hasn't had a lot of injury free preseasons, if he adds some size and keeps his fitness then he is a good show for becoming our number 1 ruck.

Durdin is a player who I hope trains the house down and becomes midfielder fit. A bit of a forgotten man this year, we were all wrapped in his season last year.

Kemp, Cowan, Binns, Lemmy, Carroll, Hollands to keep maturing.

having a good preseason.

Cincotta having an AFL preseason and improving his running.

Boyd having a preseason. Walsh having a preseason.

We didn't have the greatest start to our year, we have some ways to go to match the run that Brisbane, Collingwood and GWS demonstrated in this finals series. But this is a good start.

Seems we’ll have a plethora of half-backs.

Watching Bobby Hill yesterday made me think - has Saad ever played forward ?

Did you just say Motlop a genuine running half-back? As in, the backline?
