More BS from BS

please, i dont care if you think i say BS, but please, its just BigSexc FFS! call me by my name. i dont call you Andy_Fag

I hesitantly agree with BS in that Fitzpatrick does look like he's got a fair way to go.

Have you seen him kick? It aint pretty.

you may have the worst username on bigfooty, but thanks for agreeing with me. i HAVE seen him kick and it amazes me why AFL clubs draft tall uncoordinated kids - like Spencer

HF: Sylvia/Green Bate Maric
FF: Petterd Jurrah Wona
Int: Watts
Emer: Jetta, Miller, Tapscott
Wildcard: Garland

Ok, So I've gone small and not overly strong either, but Miller isn't worth including in a starting team at this stage! Jurrah and Bate might be undersized but they are the starting CHF and FF respectively on our list. Wona and Maric have a heap of talent, they need to play. Same with Watts off the bench. Green and Sylvia rotate through the forward line to give it some real established talent. I'm also expecting big things from Petterd. He bagged a few goals last year and I'm expecting improvement again this year. He's a clever player at half forward and in the pocket, capable of kicking more than a goal and game and also giving defensive pressure.

Resting ruckmen in Jamar and Martin should spend some time there, but not a heap. I'd love Fitz to be the answer, but I'm not sure that even if he is he would be anything like ready for AFL next year.

Garland is the wildcard. But firstly I want to see him fit and healthy and playing footy before I switch him to CHF.

Close to what I would do, maybe an extra big body on the full forward line. I agree with your assessment of Garland being the wildcard, if he gets fit he will be tried down there at some stage.

Watts has no hope of holding down full forward for any length of time this season, but I agree that he will be run through the forward line from time to time.

If the midfield comes along well I would also like to see Davey spend some time down there too. One of the keys to a more functional midfield apart from the obvious advantage of getting a quicker better placed footy into the foward line is that it could release Davey, Sylvia and Green into the forward line.

It looks delightful when compared to what Naitanui serves up

I wont have anyone putting crap on the girl that saved my life - even you BigSexc. Its special to me - even if no one else cares.

On Fitzpatrick, I know he was awsome in the repeat sprints/endurance for a guy of his size, and is very quick off the mark. But Ive heard reports of him being a strong contested mark which I havnt seen for myself. Project full forward might be the category to put him in I think.

Project being the key word there... optimism needed in large quantities.
