Discussion How would your Fantasy side perform in an actual game

[happy_eagle]

Make a best 22 from your current Fantasy side, then consider how it would perform (result wise not fantasy wise) in an actual game.

I'll go first

B: Laird - Haynes - Ziebell
HB: Short - Markov - Hall
C: Mills - Neale - Merrett
HF: Kelly - Martin - Whitfield
FF: Dangerfield - Gawn - Hunter
R: Grundy - Macrae - Taranto
INT: Oliver, Houston, Pendlebury, Hind

Not a lot of tall targets. Would need Dangerifled, Martin and Gawn to be primarily forward targets.
Likewise pretty small and unaccountable down back. Haynes would have his work cut out.

 

[Cm Perfect]

Great threat idea.

B: Mills Newman Houston (where he should be playing Ken)
HB: Whitfield Markov Hall
C: Merrett Steele Laird
HF: Pendlebury Amartey Kelly
F: Gawn Dangerfield Hunter
R: Grundy Mitchell Taranto
I: Parish Crouch Walsh Cripps

Waterboy: Fin Macrae

Amartey and Danger would kick 6 each, but the defence would get scored on mercilessly with Newman playing full back and everyone else running away for seagull handball receives.

Great midfield but would leak a lot down back as you said.

Hahaha defence would get pummelled!

HF: Jelly Amartey Bolton
F: Pendles ROB Dusty
FOLL: Gawn Neale Zerrett
INT: Titchell Laird Houston Taranto

Can ROB play FF? Otherwise it's Briggs or DWilliams??

 

[Fitzey]

Great idea.
FB: Newman, Haynes, Houston
HB: Laird, Hind, Hall
C: Whitfield, Taranto, Walsh
HF: Zorko, Dangerfield, Neale??
FF: Jelly, Amartey, Sidebottom
FOLL: Gawn, Parish, Zerrett
INT: Mills, Macrae, Titchell, Yeo

Ran out of forwards there, maybe this is how the All Australian side is selected??

FF: Martin Darcy Pendlebury
FOL: Gawn Macrae Taranto

The trouble with developing rucks is it can be very hard to give them all a run in the seniors.

This might be the most balanced in terms of having actual key defenders (Burgess) and forwards (Darcy)
Grundy at CHB would be hilarious though

FB: Hall Highmore Short
HB: Crisp Houston Whitfield
C: Walsh Mitchell Macrae

FF: Greene Gawn Hind
FOL: O Brien Merrett Taranto

Like most I’m very light on in the talls department but that’s probably the best the lineup can get.

F: Gawn Dangerfield Hunter
R: Grundy Mitchell Taranto

That backline is amazing. Would love to see.

B: Ziebell Stewart Houston
HB: Hall Newman Laird
C: Macrae Titchell Whitfield
HF: Zerrett Martin Kelly
F: Taranto Gawn Zorko
R: Grundy Oliver Steele
INT: Pendlebury Short Sharp Amartey

Not sure where the goals will really come from outside that HF line or Gawn kicking a bag.

Not sure how we will stop goals with Ziebell back there letting 6 goals get kicked on him but at least he will score 33 points from stepping out the square on a kick in.

 

[Dougz]

Those putting Macrae on the wing make me sick. You will give Bevo ideas.

B: Laird - Ridley - Lloyd
HB: Whitfield - Stewart - Hall
C: Walsh - Merrett - Kelly
HF: Hunter - Grundy - Martin
FF: Taranto - Gawn - Dangerfield
R: Burgess - Macrae - Mitchell
INT: Houston, Pendlebury, Harmes, Smith

 

[TheRednWhite]

B: Haynes Lloyd Short
HB: Hall Laird Hind

Backline woeful. Full of gulls. Laird playing back in his old position just to get some hardness into the backline.

C: Macrae Merrett Whitfield
R: Gawn Titch Miller

Macrae has to play wing unfortunately, Titch and Touk are good ruck rovers.

HF: JKelly Brouch LHunter
FF: Dangerfield Amartey Zorko

Very short fwd line but I refuse to have ROB in my team as the ruck (and play Gawn fwd). JKelly, Hunter and Brouch have all played fwd at times this year.

INT: Taranto Pendlebury Houston ROB

 

[happy_eagle]

Trying to come up with a side that would be decent in both fantasy and actual games

B: Hall - Stewart - Ryan
HB: Laird - Haynes - Mills
C: Merrett - Steele - Taranto
HF: Bont - Darcy - Dangerfield
FF: Greene - Marshall - Bolton
R: Gawn - Miller - Steele
INT: Grundy, Wines, Mitchell, De Goey

 

[HolyRioli]

FB: Mills - Haynes - Houston
HB: Crisp - Jiath - Daniel
C: Merrett - Wines - Laird
HF: Taranto - Marshall - Petracca
FF: Greene - De Goey - Martin

R: Grundy - Mitchell - Adams

Int: Hall - Darcy - Pendlebury - Bramble


Not the world's worst - a little undersized in the backline, but 4/6 players there can actually defend, and Mills, Haynes, Jiath are all very capable in the air. Midfield lacking a true outside midfielder (Bramble aside), though Houston / Hall / Crisp / Daniel off the backline could provide more than enough. Has more than enough contested grunt + ball-winning ability.
Forwards actually have quite a nice structure, Marshall provides a good chunk of height.

 

[Joao]

Who would have thought teams full of seagulls would look a little unbalanced?

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Would look like the AA team of recent years, midfielders on every line
