I think our side looks so much more potent with Reid playing forward. Cloke, Reid and Moore are a dangerous combination. With our deep midfield we can afford to let Pendles play back more often, Scharenberg/Langdon/Marsh can take the opposition 3rd tall, with Brown and Frost holding down fb and chb.

Second key forward role still a problem, i cant find myself relying on Moore for atleast a couple of years, so Howe gets the spot for me as a Jack Darling type CHF. Steele Sidebottom to play a luke Bruest type forward pocket.
 
One thing I would like people's opinion on is Scharenbergs speed. He is slow. Real slow. Now given the ACL he may need time to improve his speed, but to me, we can't have him in the backline as he trails in opponents too often. I don't see how people could have him in our best 22 at present.

Williams, Brown, Marsh
Langdon, Reid, Maynard
Sidebottom, Pendles, Crisp
Swan, Cloke, Elliot
DeGoey, Moore, Fasolo
Grundy, Treloar, Adams
Varcoe, Greenwood, Broomhead, Witts

Let Scharenberg, Howe and possibly Aish work for their spots. Fingers crossed they can live up to their potential. White is a good replacement for Moore when he tires as is Frost for Brown or Marsh.
 
Treloar the rest can please themselves, ok just kidding

Frost could easily be out putting reid back and fasolo in the side.

If we dont make finals with that side Bucks in trouble IMO Only weakness is experience in defense
 
I've already changed my team ten times but I guess that shows we have a lot of depth!

Geez that's hard; Fasolo, Ox, Marsh, Aish?, Scharenberg, Goldy all stiff.

The depth is there to push for a top 4 position, need players 15-22 to step up to actually make it...
 
I am a little concerned that we are a very one paced side. Having said that I will try and place the team as best as possible if everyone is fully fit.

Williams - brown - marsh
Sidebottom - Reid - pendlebury
Treloar - Adams - varcoe
Swan - cloke - howe
Broomhead - Moore - elliot

R - grundy - greenwood - crisp

Int - scharenberg - Maynard - aish - De goey

Players I believe are past their best are tooves and goldsack. No offence they have been fantastic but they are one dimensional and have serious deficiencies with no real upside. Tooves has never got a hold of his kicking and marsh imo is a direct swap with better speed and better skills. Goldsack and Maynard fight it out but Maynard with his field kicking has the edge for me. You will notice here playing pendles and sidebottom off the back flanks. I believe having good users behind the ball is our biggest weakness. It sets up the entire attack and we now have the midfield depth to cover. I don't believe speed is essential in these positions - as long as our defensive structure us sound. Similar to that of wc and the Hawks.

Fasolo and Elliot will battle but we should persist with Broomhead. The kid is a dead set GUN. Aish and scharenberg imo will both rotate through half back. Both have great skills and decision making but poor speed.

We don't have raw pace anymore tho and that is a massive problem. Treloar and varcoe I've selected for the wing but we don't have a Brad Hill or Isaac Smith type who run like the wind and have good skills. That will help our list somewhat.
