Choose a Starting 18

[Grockadoc]

Choose a starting 18 (No interchange), only using one player from each club. Will be interesting to see how people go about choosing it. Here is mine.

Adelaide: Johncock

Geelong: Chapman
Gold Coast: Bock
GWS: Coniglio

[muttweed]

Where did you get Shaw from?

And why isn't Reid in the team?

Oh I see

 

[Grockadoc]

haha, cheers for that. I originally had Reid, but decided to go for fletcher, merrett and Bock. haha, just a personal opinion.

There are probably some playing a little out of position. I'm not good with teams like North, Port and such.

Actually, I'll be honest. I'm shit at making teams

 

[muttweed]

Good backline

Petrie is fairly ordinary in any forward position other than FF, if you pick him he has to go FF imo.

Very happy with this team. Nice blend of experience (Harvey, Cox, Goodes, Ablett), youth (Zaharakis, Martin, Frawley, Davis), 4 of the best midfielders, and good structure (2 talls in back and forwards, 1 capable of playing small and tall-Frawley and R.Murphy)

F: R.Gray L.Franklin A.Goodes
Foll: A.Sandilands G.Ablett C.Judd

Was harder than expected. Didn't see much of the dogs last year so not sure if Morris would still warrant selection.

Didn't go Cloke because I didn't think anyone other than Brown or Leuenberger warranted selection from Brisbane. I wanted either Cox or Sandilands in the team though.

I basically built the forward and backlines and then slotted some mids in since most teams have a top mid or two.


EDIT: Replace Fisher with Goddard
