List Mgmt. Best side for start of 2025

[kool kangas]

Here is how I would like to see the round 1 team line up:

Scott Corr Archer
Daniel Logue FOS
McKercher LDU Tucker
Simpkin Larkey Parker
Zurhaar Darling Curtis

Xerri Powell Sheezel

Phillips, Chom, RHJ, Ford
Emergency LMac

Wouldn't mind seeing both Konstanty and RHJ in the side. Lmac will be in the side so l'm thinking ,Ford out and McDonald in and Konstanty sub. Instead of having 1 small forward in, we play both and see how much damage they can do together ,if any. If Zuurhar decides to MIA then bring on Konstanty for more defensive pressure. Scott should be on the wing, Lmac will be Back Pocket and Tucker on the bench....

LMac Corr Archer
Daniel Logue FOS
McKercher LDU Scott
Simpkin Larkey Parker
Zurhaar Darling Curtis

Xerri Powell Sheezel

Bench: Phillips, Chom, RHJ, Tucker
Sub: Konstanty
Emergency : Ford

 

[The Nostradamus]

No, but it doesn't ameliorate Scott's high turnover rate for his role and low disposal numbers.

Correct Selective stats

Stat needed is turnover per possessions

The butcher Scott would be high in that metric

 

[kool kangas]

B: Archer, Comben, Logue
HB: Daniel, Corr, Tucker
C: McKercher, Parker, Scott
HF: Sheezel, Darling, Simpkin
F: Curtis, Larkey, Zurhaar
Foll: Xerri, LDU, Powell
Int: Phillips, FOS, RHJ, Hardeman
Sub: Stephens

I’d really like to see Logue play as the loose defender, have him setup positioning as he is probably our smartest defender when it comes to positioning. Hardeman to come in for McDonald.

RHJ deserves a crack so he gets a bench spot. FOS to rotate between Half back and wing.

Konstanty, Ford, McDonald the next cabs off the rank. Zurhaar on thin ice considering his efforts over the last few weeks.

Hardeman didn't even get onto the ground against the Weagles so l cant see him replacing LMac..

Zuurhar is on thin ice in the view of supporters so maybe Konstanty and Ford could replace him if he continues with his lack of performance

 

[Themanbun]

Round 1, excluding injured players

FB: Archer ~ Logue ~ Corr
HB: Fisher ~ Comben ~ Daniel
C: Scott ~ LDU ~ McKercher
HF: Simpkin ~ Larkey ~ Parker
FF: Curtis ~ Darling ~ Zurhaar

R: Xerri ~ Sheezel ~ Powell

Interchange: McDonald ~ FOS ~ Phillips ~ RHJ

Bench is very short.

Scott isn’t a fantastic kick, other than at goal.

But you kind of loose all objectivity when you’d prefer Dylan Stephens. Which was how this started.

Well aware, but McDonald’s form in the pre season was deplorable and Hardeman deserves an opportunity.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Yeah not a part in that argument. Scott is clearly our best wing.

If stephens was given the games and game time Scott has then it would be fair to compare

He’s been in and out getting no consistency

FOS and Kerch regardless should be our wingers but dyl for mine is next in line

 

[the big lebowski]

Stephens was drafted the year after Scott, and to a grand finalist no less.

Anyway, there is no point in arguing. My fault.

Meaning it’s harder to get games/game time

And yes it is your fault

There is no harm in accepting Scott is a poor footballer who cannot kick.
It’s not like we are arguing over elite talent like LDU, sheez, etc

That’s one way of looking at it.

Another is that despite the swans awesome development and getting 43 games across 4 years at the swans where he averaged 13 possessions, he was traded away and now spends time in the vfl of the second last team on the ladder, after showing the coaches he’s not up to it.

What will happen

What I'd like to see happen

B: Archer Logue Corr
HB: Daniel Chom FOS
C: Scott LDU Kerch
HF: Simpkin Darling RHJ
FF: Zurhaar Larks Curtis

Int: Tucker Phillips Parker Whitlock
Sub: Stephens

I suspect it won’t take long for Whitlock to get a game. Can play both ends.

What's your plan for Darcy because both Corr and Logue are giving away a significant amount of height?

 

[Makeshift Park]

What's your plan for Darcy because both Corr and Logue are giving away a significant amount of height?

The Swans beat the Dogs last year, and restricted Darcy to one goal, with Melican, Francis and Rampe as their tallest defenders. Those three are shorter than Chom, Logue and Corr. And they had JUH to contend with too!

If our defensive work further upfield is good and we restrict supply to their forward line, that's half the challenge completed.

Exactly. The hawks beat them in a final with sam frost as their no 1 key defender and he is the same height as Corr. Logue the same height as Sicily etc

Reduce the flow of midfield ball movement to him by our midfields...Maybe even break his ankles ....

I wish we could do that.
You read that list on paper and already forecast 10 goals down by 3qtr time + 2 rotations of Chom trialled as a forward and a Back with Pink and Teakle combining for 7 points all game

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Problem is, we're not the Swans.

Good luck with that. We couldn't even do that against a Melbourne VFL team 2 weeks ago.

Hardly. Clayton Oliver is back to being a better midfielder than anyone the Dogs' will put up against us round one, Better Loosen Up.

Rivers and Pickett go alright too

 

[Its a Process]

My guess for our Round 1 Team is:
FB - Archer, Comben, Corr
CHB - Daniel, Logue, Tucker
C - Scott, LDU, O'Sullivan
CHF - Hansen Jr, Larkey, McKercher
FF - Zurhaar, Darling, Curtis
Ruck - Xerri, Powell, Sheezel
Bench, Phillips, Parker, Konstanty, McDonald

Not Available - Simpkin, Wardlaw, Dursmaa, Goater, Fisher,

If Jy is available then Konstanty is the logical one to be dropped. I think Fisher and is in our best 22 and he will challange RHJ for his spot and when George comes back in Phillips will be dropped or Powell will shift to half back.

 

[The Nostradamus]

These best 23s without a second ruck hurt my soul

Almost as much as those that have bailey Scott in the team and on the wing instead of fos or Kerch

Lets solve both issues and drop him for a tall

 

[Blightys Barrel]

So the 3 Emergencies for tmrw are Stephens, Maley and Teakle.

If we leap ahead 4 weeks from now, pending VFL form and recovery we can add Wardlaw/Duursma/Goater and one of Hardemann/Dawsons/Bergman to that selection pool based on how the team are progressing. LMac and Tucker on the bench was a statement from the match committee. No more gifting of games.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Archer - Logue - Dawson
Daniel - Corr - McKercher

Scott - Simpkin - O’Sullivan

Sheezel - Darling - Hansen
Curtis - Comben*- Konstanty

Xerri - LDU - Powell

I: Zurhaar - Parker - Hardeman - Tucker

Suursma/Ford

*If Larkey misses.

 

[Mr north man]

Archer - Logue - Dawson
Daniel - Corr - McKercher

Scott - Simpkin - O’Sullivan

Sheezel - Darling - Hansen
Curtis - Comben*- Konstanty

Xerri - LDU - Powell

I: Zurhaar - Parker - Hardeman - Tucker

Suursma/Ford

*If Larkey misses.

Unfortunately you need to understand McDonald won’t be dropped same goes for Zuhaar,Scott Corr.
Only players missing from our best line up are Wardlaw,Duursma and maybe another Tall in Teakle.
