That 22 will do me nicely.FB: Frost O McDonald Jetta

I/C: Melksham Brayshaw ANB Salem
Not getting ahead of myslef with Lever, but if we do get him you could really start switching up the side with TMac going forward etc. Still don't reckon Weideman is anywhere near it.
He will want out by then mate. He will be in and out next year depending on the form of hogan and pedo.That 22 will do me nicely.
Absolutely agree with Weid ... he's miles off, but thats ok, we don't need him (and will even less should we get Lever) and we can afford to leave him in the VFL for the next year or two. When he starts dominating down there week in week out, that's when we can give him a go.
B Jetta O-Mac Salem
HB Hibberd Lever/Frost Jones
C Tyson Viney Petracca
HF Melksham T-Mac Brayshaw
F Garlett Pedersen Harmes/Kent
R Gawn Hunt Oliver
Bench - Lewis ANB Hogan Hannan
Notable changes - No Vince (hopefully delisted), Watts (hopefully traded)
Jones to HB - No room for his lack of midfield pace
Hunt - Need pace in the midfield, this is the best move I think. Why not put it to him to step up?
Petracca - No.2 draft picks should be running out games in the midfield in their 4th season
Kent - hoping he can be fit and in our best 22.
Fair. No reason he can't spend 70% of the time in there though. 30% I am ok with rotating to HF with the snake.Dustin Martin didn't start running out games until his 5th or 6th season and he never had an ACL

neither is tmac though... omac is better, despite still being pretty light.Lever is not a big bodied man-on-man key defender. He's a Jeremy-McGovern style crash-n-bash intercept 3rd tall with elite judgement and solid contested marking.
I've seen a few lineups with him and OMac as KPDs and TMac upforward. Nope. Gonna need another KPD down back if TMac is up forward. Whether that is Frost (if he doesn't leave), Pedo, Weideman/Keilty, hypothetical draft pick 46, or even Garland we need someone back there.
The Crows know this too. Even when Hartigan/Talia missed games rather than play Lever as a 2nd tall they opted to blood category b rookie Alex Keath instead.
That's a pretty good Plan B actually ... TMac's real strength in the ruck was when the ball hit the deck, and he's certainly got the physical attributes to cause plenty of issues.TMac has no chemistry with Hogan, Trac or Pedersen, and while we have an apparent dearth of KPDs I prefer him at CHB. If we manage to hold Frost and get Lever then we will see.
As a different kind of lineup...what about:
B: Jetta OMac Lever
HB: Hibberd Frost Hunt
C: Lewis Viney Jones
HF: Melksham Pedersen ANB
F: Garlett Hogan Petracca
R: Gawn Oliver TMac
Int: Tyson Brayshaw Salem Hannan
Use TMac as a full-ground utility. Throw him in the guts as a mid, send him forward as a matchup stretcher, use him across the backline as a stopper.
All aboardSprout is it time to #RideTheMelkyway yet?
Bring on 2018 just so I can use #RideTheMelkway nearly as much as I used #ChurchofNev this yearSprout is it time to #RideTheMelkyway yet?
Disagree. His level of urgency is just not there and for a 150+ game player he doesn't impact the game enough. He isn't heart and soul of the club at all, if this club is serious about winning a flag it won't be with keeping Jack Watts. We could definitely get an outside midfielder, I'd be stoked with that. We have plenty of inside midfielders and it's exactly the kind of get we need.I'm pleased nobody is bothering to respond to the halfwits saying Watts is gone. He is a one of a kind player on our list, heart and soul of the club, and while he will never be an AA or Top 3 in the B & F there is nothing to be gained by trading him unless we get a top 10 pick or a gun outside mid who is best 22 for at least the next 5 years
Nope. Already on the record that he is happy to play VFLVery disappointed to read that Vince has been offered a one year deal. That means he will be in our starting 22. Not a good start.
I am interested in why Frost hadn't been played for a while, I don't think it's form to be honest, he was travelling well I thought. Wouldn't be surprised if his departure has to do with the Lever deal.Im a little concerned were going to go into 2018 with an unbalanced list, having to create a gameplan that papers over the cracks. We either need to get to a top 4 midfield, or get a big defender to stop us getting killed by talls.
