Prediction Best Lineup for 2024

[hellas_johnny]

My interpretation of the round 1 teams for AFL and VFL.

AFL
B, McKercher Dawson Corr
HB. Sheezel Comben Fisher
C. Scott Wardlaw Stephens
R. Xerri Powell LDU
HF. Stephenson Zurharr Ford
F. Curtis Larkey Duursma

INT. Goater Lazzaro Phillips Greenwood

VFL
B. McDonald Dawson.W Ngyon
HB. Bergman Pink Hardeman
C. Taylor Watkins Downie
R. Goad Tucker Shiels
HF. Hansen Maley Drury
F. Harvey CCJ Sellers
INT. George Davis Lowson Harrop Archer

NOTES.
Comben vs Pink is a 50/50 call for mine. I went Chom because of his intercepting prowess
Simpkin, Logue and Free on the injury list.
Greenwood over CCJ as 2nd ruck due to his versatility and ground level ability.
If I had to nominate a sub it would be Tucker.
Simpkin to replace Phillips when fit.

i reckon you're on the money with the only other things being that free is available and will play vfl, whilst i think greenwood will play forward and relief ruck, although wouldn't surprise of pink plays ahead of comben who is still getting match minutes in

My question is around how competitive we will be this year. Will we be in games more often than not or will our young guns still be too young to sustain it and we’ll get smashed a lot? Like for example I’m worried about who will contain Curnow and Mackay in the GF game and then of course the Giants game next week. I’m a bit worried. It’s exciting starting a new season but I just hope we see the upward trajectory this year.

At a guess I'd say this year will be more bipolar. There'll be higher highs but the lows will still pop up. If we get within five goals of the Giants, it'll be a satisfactory performance in my book.

Remember that the club has been denied the natural arc of improvement that stability provides essentially since Noble went mad, (allegedly) made a young player crawl around on the ground naked, and just all-round made the joint a miserable place to be. We have stability now, and we're assembling the pieces.

Enjoy the highs, accept the lows. We're going to look great at times this year

I’m worried with Jy out that’ll rush Lmac back for his err leadership

 

[The Nostradamus]

I’m worried with Jy out that’ll rush Lmac back for his err leadership

Tbf he’s still probably the best matchup we have for Greene

 

[The Y Factor]

i reckon you're on the money with the only other things being that free is available and will play vfl, whilst i think greenwood will play forward and relief ruck, although wouldn't surprise of pink plays ahead of comben who is still getting match minutes in

100% agree

 

[The Y Factor]

I’m worried with Jy out that’ll rush Lmac back for his err leadership

They have stated they won’t be rushing people back but he got through a full match today and played well by reports.

We can’t have a full backline with a total of 12 games experience so I want he and Corr back.

 

[Cool Kangas]

I’m worried with Jy out that’ll rush Lmac back for his err leadership

With respect to lmac….why actually is he capt?

 

[The Y Factor]

With respect to lmac….why actually is he capt?

The players want him to be.

 

[Cool Kangas]

The players want him to be.

He just doesn’t seem to be capt material so much, but I guess if they voted for him then they must think so.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Duusma is a proven goal kicker at junior level, i can easily see him being infront of Paul Curtis who i like come round one..

Just from the games played in the preseason and his history as a junior, I can see him kicking at least 1 goal a game and finishing with 30 over 23 games.

AFL
B, McKercher Dawson Corr
HB. Sheezel Comben Fisher
C. Scott Wardlaw Stephens
R. Xerri Powell LDU
HF. Stephenson Zurharr Ford
F. Curtis Larkey Duursma

INT. Goater Lazzaro Phillips Greenwood

F. Harvey CCJ Sellers
INT. George Davis Lowson Harrop Archer

NOTES.
Comben vs Pink is a 50/50 call for mine. I went Chom because of his intercepting prowess
Simpkin, Logue and Free on the injury list.
Greenwood over CCJ as 2nd ruck due to his versatility and ground level ability.
If I had to nominate a sub it would be Tucker.
Simpkin to replace Phillips when fit.

Very nice!

You don't think LMac will be brought in to take on Toby?

I don’t think greenwood plays over CCJ

And I’m more than happy to invest this season on the 24 year old KPP than the 32 year old mid to play the chf relief ruck role

 

[7577969923]

After 3 weeks of AFL and 2 of VFL, I've been thinking about what our best team could look like in August. This is where I have got to:

B: Bergman Comben K Dawson
HB: Fisher Logue Sheezel
C: Scott Wardlaw McKercher
HF: Simpkin Maley Dursma
F: Curtis Larkey Ford
R: Xerri LDU Powell
IC: Phillips Zurhaar, George, McDonald
Sub: Stephens

Pushing hard in the VFL:

Archer, Stepho, W Dawson, Sellers, Hardeman, Lazarro, Pink, Harvey, Corr, Drury, Greenwood, Shiel, RHJ, Biggie

Fading away: Taylor

Injured: Goater, CCJ

Agree with that,though reckon Sellers ahead of Maley

 

[7577969923]

Agree with that,though reckon Sellers ahead of Maley

I think Sellers currently a more finished player than Maley. I think Maley has a massive upside, and plays a style that is a better compliment to Larkey. Having a guy in the forward line who can take contested marks would be a big difference from where we have been.
Sellers is much closer to Larkey in style.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Agree with that,though reckon Sellers ahead of Maley
