Re: D4 Section Ammos

yeah definately he loves his footy, and from what he tells me he loves the club as well. If Richmond and Danny Hickey keep attracting those sorts of players then they will improve dramatically. The improvement this year is evidence enough, considering their last couple of years.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

How has Oden been going this year? I noticed that he was named best after the first win of the season but haven't seen his name around much since. What position has he been playing?
He injured his shoulder in the second game. He has started to get his form back over the past month, but the injury really slowed him up.

He could be a terrific player, he is the god of war after all :)

Oh and without a doubt in my opinion the best CHB by a mile is Hargrave from Eltham #24. For a bigger sized bloke he is a gun and moves exceptionally well.

Just a couple of comments.
Great discussion point first of all ruck machine.
You've put Pizzari in - I guess as the 'token' Nth Brunny player as to not offend anyone. Pize has been good this year as always- but G. Holdstock (#23) has been our best this year and would be hard pressed to think of a Centre Half Back thats had a better year. Pullen from Sth Mornington I would think would be amongst it, Carolan from Mt. Lilydale perhaps, definitely at least one or two more from Eltham. BHN players at CHB and FB - comon man. Even we beat you by 11 goals first time around - and we are not exactly a powerhouse of D4, and second time round O'Connor kicked 7 goals against your full back. 2 Eley Park players in the starting 18? They've hardly won a game and have often been flogged and two of their defenders are in there??

Great work putting it on to liven up the forum - but a bit off the mark in my opinion.

2 Bulleen players?

My goal was to get some discussion going on the forum.

Looks like I have succeeded.

Its hard to name back men because I only really no the ones from my club.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

An activity like this is always going to be flawed seeing as people can only really judge players based on how they went when you played them.

The bloke who had 7 kicked on him that day was neither of the players named in RM's team. Unfortunately BHNs two best key defenders are also the best 2 ruckman so would spend as much time in either position.

Re: D4 Section Ammos

Its definitely a tough exercise - especially with injuries etc. Our best 3 players would have played (maybe) 20 games between them - when they've played they have been our standouts - but haven't got out on the park enough to be considered for this kind of thing.

Bit like Watts for UHS who was probably the form midfielder of the comp for the first 6 rounds - but from what I hear did a knee and it was goodnight nurse.

Exactly right Abba. If the opposition gun is missing or shut down on the day you play them, you have that as your main reference point. I think big Ed has done a sterling job in the last couple of seasons, selecting the team of the year.
I have seen six gun CHFs, 2 very good full forrwards, 3 outstanding ruckman, 4 sterling full backs and too many to count top notch onballers. It can be the case that your clubs best player is an onballer, but may miss out to a Papaluca (there is that name again) and the like from top teams.

As to #35 BHN at full back. As BHN lost their main ruck man early in the season, he has been used in the ruck a lot. Only goes back when they think the opposition have a real gun full forward. He is 6'5", is super quick and has an enormous reach for spoiling. He got taken to the cleaners when injured at St Mary's early this year. But has not even looked like allowing a bag since then. Was rightfully CHB of the '06 D4 team.

I think the only other BHN player that you can say is best at his position is D. Penny. Though just back from a leg strain, and spending quite a bit of time on the ball, he is terribly hard to match up as a small forward who can mark with the big blokes.

Great discussion point though.:thumbsu: Maybe the best way to pick your team is to exclude your own players. Then put your recomendations of who you think have been your best 5 players for your team and where they have played just below your selections.
