I find it creepy that both you guys can't find room for the likes of Dunn, Bate, Green and so on.

I suppose the luxury you have when you've got a fully fit team

Do you read with your eyes closed mate. I quite clearly include Green on the HBF and Bate on the HFF. Dunn very unlucky he wud be first included if an injury occured. He showed over the last few weeks he can play down back and in the middle last yr he showed he can play up fwd

F Newton Neitz Davey

Having Moloney and Sylvia in and Green out does nothing for me.

R: White Jones McDonald
I: Wheatley, Yze, P. Johnson, Bartram

E: Moloney, Pettered, Bode etc

 

[Number32]

In my opinion excluding trades and draft picks the round 1 side should be as follows:

B: Whelan Carroll Frawley
HB: Bell Rivers Green
C: Bruce Jones Johnstone
HF: Bate Newton Sylvia
FF: Robertson Nietz Davey
Foll: White Mclean Mcdonald

Bench: P.Johnson Moloney Bartram Petterd

Emer: Ward Dunn Yze

p.s we need a tall defender urgently in the backline, carroll and rivers arnt big enough...miller, ferguson and holland are not the answer!!! thats why iv opted for frawley in the back pocket, he at least gives us some sort of height

 

[Number32]

it was hard to leave dunn out because i do think his going to be part of our future but i dont think since shown enough consistent form yet to warrant a starting 22 spot

C Bruce McLean Dunn
HF Juice Bate Green
F Robbo Neita Flash
Foll White JMac Boomer
Int: C Wood Sylvia Buckley Yze
Emg: Bode CJ Jamar

no room for jones? Don't rate frawley?

Mine as below:

B: Whelan Carroll Frawley
HB: Bell Rivers Johnstone
C: Bruce Jones Sylvia
HF: Robertson Bate Green
FF: Nietz Newton Davey
Foll: White Mclean Mcdonald

Bench: P.Johnson Moloney Bartram Petterd

Sylvia only playning there if he gets a full preseason and rotating with Green and Davey if necessary.
Dunn very stiff to miss out but will play a lot next season as he'll be first called up and I reckon he'll show enough to stay in the team. Reckon we'll see a few changes though come draft time, maybe Bruce out for a strong, tall good back.

 

[Wolfmother]

B: Whelan Carroll Bell
HB: Rivers Holland Johnstone
C: Bruce Jones Sylvia
HF: Newton Bate Davey
FF: Roberston Neitz Green
Foll: White Mclean Mcdonald

Bench: P.Johnson Moloney Bartram Petterd

I know Holland isn't the answer at CHB but I think Rivers is too small and would be better used as the lose man/third tall swapping with Bell.

B: Whelan Carroll Bell
HB: Rivers Holland Johnstone
C: Bruce Jones Sylvia

Missing a Forward Pocket dude.

**EDIT**
Nevermind.

Computer f^^^^ed up before I had finished the post... thank god for the edit function

 

[dutchy12]

Lol I don't know why our side hasn't won a premiship yet just kidding lol but seriously like it doesn't seem that bad on paper, our differing opinions on our best 22 leaves some very good players, the fact that all our teams are so different I reckon says a statement about the quality of our list when it is up and running.

Like potentially who could you see getting a All Aus slection from our side in the next couple of years?

McLean
Rivers (gets his body right, and plays to a similar standard of 2004 could very easily)
Bell (could see him becoming a bit of a Campbell Brown, but with more drive)
Davey
Jones

Yze possibly for Bate depending on matchups.

 

[HiHoEverybody]

Most people seem to have Sylvia on a HFF. If Col can get a pre season under his belt (fingures crossed) he should be staright into the middle. After all we did draft him as a mid feilder..

IMO he's a good enough player to play as a forward alone, but when he is fully fit, he should be a midfielder who rests forward (He is a very similar player to Mark Ricciuto in his natural game).

B: Whelan Carroll Bell
HB: Green Rivers Wheatley
C: Johnstone McLean Moloney
HF: Bate Newton Sylvia
FF: Robertson Neitz Davey
Foll: White Bruce McDonald

Interchange: P.Johnson Jones Dunn Petterd

I think Dunn is now a best 22 player and Wheatley is better than Petterd as a HBF (I think Petterd will be a better player but he's not a real defender, and with Green down there he, Wheatley, Bell and Whelan would provide wonderful run and delivery on the rebound.

We have established a good midfield group, I hope White and Paul Johnson can have improved seasons.
I would love to see Frawley in the team or Ferguson if Bailey backs him (but not Holland) to give height to the backline but on best 22 Bell and Whlean are musts and Bartram and Wheatley give good run and kicking skills out of the backline.
In the forward line I have tried to address the CHF issue with Bate and Bruce working up the ground, Robbo being freed up which has less tole on his knees letting him play like he did when he won a b&f. I would also get Robbo to interchange with Juice depending on how a game is going.

Pretty sure noone has beat my team yet
