What i'm really looking forward to is whether the voting public remember the great Michael Voss circa 1999, 2000.

Or if they remember the one-legged geriatric in the twilight of his career.

If it is the latter, which I sincerly hope it's not, it does tend to make your midfield look extremely "one-paced" as some might call it. "Slow" is how others will see it.

Only thing holding Voss back was a knee injury, and people are expected to deduct points from Voss because of that, then I hope they remember the one-legged Judd who wasn't even able to take the field when his team needed him most.

I will also point out that Michael Voss polled 2 Brownlow votes in his last game in a losing team. Class to the very end.

As for the implication my team is slow... Lappin, Goodwin, Dal Santo, Edwards and Nickoski add plenty of dash, while Bartel, Kirk, Voss, Hodge and Foley provide plenty of grunt. You could only dream of such balance.

And now he will have another chance to poll votes in a losing team.

He sure as hell won't have any competition from Dal Santo - the best downhill skier in the game.
 
And even if you had a great midfield Warwick (which you don't)... who are they going to kick it to?

Fevola will be too busy doing his nut at any of the umpires that Koschitzke hasn't collided with.

Lucas may ocassionally kick one or two goals for you in junk time when you've already lost the game, but that all depends on which Lucas turns up, he's more hot and cold than a cheap hot water system.

O'Keefe is a workmanlike player, nothing more... and Brad Johnson is a midget that only does well because every other dwarf in his team kicks it to him as the only option.

I would prefer not to have balance if by your definition, means a mix of good and mediocre players.

Some of the best extractors in the game in West, Judd, and Thompson, dishing it off to Kerr, Hayes, Burgoyne, and Pendlebury. And that's not even considering Goodes - the hardest man to match up on in the league. That's an all-star midfield my friend. You could have Ronald McDonald and Tinky-Winky in the forward line and that team will still kick over 20 goals a game.

Did Kane Tenace play a game this year? Was it so hard to find best 22 players with 4 participating coaches??
 
Experience, class and up and coming talent. I don't know why you are all arguing I think I have it in the bag:p

Hardest man to match up on? Dean Cox says hi.

By the way, after chasing Cox's tail for 10 minutes, Charman is going to need a cordial and a sit down, if he hasn't already done a season ending injury by that stage. Who is going to get the ball to your 'superstar' (lol) midfield in that case... you were too busy wetting yourself over mosquito midfielders to address your ruck problems. And up against my monopoly on the two 2007 All-Australian ruckmen in Cox and Lade, poor Charmo is going to be a puddle of jelly on the ground.

But if you want to crush Charman down into the next Josh Fraser, be my guest.

As for Thompson being a superstar midfielder, LOL. Obviously after I skimmed the cream off the Adelaide midfield in Goodwin and Edwards, you panicked and went for the flavourless pale milky residue in Thompson. But hey, every team needs someone to cut up the oranges. Good planning on your part, we can't have your team of hacks coming down with scurvy.

Good pickup with Kerr though, always good to inject a bit of white line fever into your team. He's cool as ice and so strong that even horse tranquilisers can't bring him down. He'll give it a real crack.

I went for a no ********s policy myself, but I am a fan of stability in a team. I'm weird like that I guess.

Is that why you picked Kane Tenace?
Click to expand...

Played 9 games this year in a team that destroyed all that came before them.

Is only 22 still, and has plenty of upside.

I rate him.
 
Grimreepah said:
I haven't heard much of him this year. Do you know which round they dropped him?
Click to expand...

From what I can gather ... round 15 - dropped because of an ankly injury.

By the tim he was ready again, they were loathe to make changes plus with the eventual return of Max Rooke, he was unable to break back in this year.

Correct me if I am wrong with any of this Herbs.

Ever heard of Justin Koschitzke? When Charman needs a spell, in comes one of the most talented players in the league. And considering we are assuming all players are fully fit, Koschitzke is just about the ideal player. I've got Aker to throw in up forward to crumb a few match-winning goals as well as his replacement.

Most Adelaide (and those that watch football) would agree Thompson is the elite midfielder in the Crows outfit. I'll visit Goodwin if I wanted to place a fiver on the last at Randwick, not if I was looking for an elite midfielder that could handle pressure.

He needs to be in a team with strong leadership and discipline. Goodes, West, Hayes, Johnson, Judd - all strong leaders of their respected clubs. Shaw, Brown, and Newman will be the next captains of their clubs as well. Not to mention the AA captain in McLeod. Kerr is perhaps the most brilliant midfielder playing today. Probably only matched by an injury-free Judd or Goodes.

Yep, when I want stability I go calling on Richo as well. He is an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a clown suit. He exudes stability.

Look at your bench - Lade, Edwards, Archer. And throw in Voss and Johnson. Were you picking a footy team or the cast for the new Golden Girls?

You could have a list of guns (which again, you don't), but it all counts for nought if their coach doesn't even know the rules of the game.

With scores level and 10 seconds on the clock, you can't have senile old Coach Warwick in the box moaning about whether the opposition is allowed to have a player beginning with the letter 'V' on the field.

I've said my piece. I also believe that the voters are far too intelligent and have far too much integrity to be persuaded by your cheap words and champion bashing.

I defer to their judgement.

Can't wait for the vote to start. Got the Captain, got the team, to hopefully have the voters putting a yes next to Lionbear:D
 
Well this thread certainly got ALOT more interesting after the last time I checked.

I'm not sure abusing the voting public is the right way to go about it Warwick, but I guess visiting strip clubs has helped Aussie Kevin Rudd, so each to their own! :)
