Opinion Best 22 - 2015

Chris Johnson was a beautiful kick..

It's not always about how neat your skills are but how you respond to game-day pressure in selecting the best option.

4 times! Right in front of me.....!!

I totally forgot Menzel. Weights his kicks so well, wish he got the ball more.

i think a midfield spot beckons

 

[LemmingMaster]

Not sure he has the midfield ability at the moment, does not know how to find the ball enough.

He really needs to work on his ability to get to a contest, touching the ball 10 times a game is not enough.

Ratts would have him half back before you could say 'SHIT DEVELOPMENT'!

Playing opposite Earl E Daws........

What was it with the "Early Doors" replies with the media. I have never heard this before and the old eyebrow was raised every time Ratts ran with it. Maybe "Early days" but??

 

[thylacine60]

May have been referring to early openers - pubs that had special licenses to open earlier than others to cater for shift workers and chronic alcoholics. They were known as early doors. How it came to mean a premature assessment is beyond me.

Something to do with players who couldn't "Break on Through" to get into the side.

cardable

 

[King of Ruin]

2nd that!

Not even late night worthy.

How much will Viojo-Rainbow and Boekhorst play?

And will Blaine play round 1?

 

[MileHigh]

Nup. Can shank with the best of them.

Talls should never be kicking under pressure. Balls has too far to drop. I suspect when Jamison has time hes a great kick, just not under the pump.

Mate, we would just be guessing using the same info you have. Boekhorst does have a more mature body and was probably recruited to come into the team as a priority, but it's still anyone's guess. We have a fairly healthy list at this stage (sorry in advance to the superstitious...) and Malthouse doesn't usually throw young players to the wolves en mass. It wouldn't be a surprise to me if none of our draftees for 2014 played for a little while, but my money would be on Boekhorst being the first of them to play.

DVR will need a fitness base miracle to play senior AFL while Blaine could play a few games. The preseason games will shape his start to the year.

If you want a dream team smokey, jump on the Cripps train. It's leaving from The Extractor St Station non-stop to Starsville. Price is sure to rise unless you buy an early-bird fare

 

[thylacine60]

I'm sensing a fan........

I'm on the Cripps bandwagon too! Surely he's 200cm by now

 

[Aphrodite]

That's his Thursday height!

 

[bluekidjoe]

Watched Rnd 23 vs Essendon*; Bell fired. Reckon he's in our best, after another pre-seas I think he'll add a lot alongside Gibba, Juddy, Whiley and the emerging Cripps.

 

[thylacine60]

The emerging Cripps - love the imagery. Martin Sheen rising from the waters of the Mekong in AN.

Judd as Brando

 

[thylacine60]

MM surely.

 

[GoBlues!]

Judd as Brando

Agree, Judd to play Brando.

Thy, I think MM could play Duvall's part....."I love the smell of Dencorub in the morning"

 

[thylacine60]

pay that
