With Polo to maybe come in

Am pretty sure our captain will get a game

 

[The House]

I hope Richmond play Post & Vickery as much as they can this year....i like the cut of their jib.

 

[LiverpoolRed]

Am pretty sure our captain will get a game

Haha yes, definatly.

 

[The Dice Man]

This IS the official Carlton line-up...

HF. Carrazzo, Henderson, Simpson
F. O’hAilpin, Kreuzer, Betts
R. Warnock, Gibbs, McLean

i reckon polo is unlucky, should be in in place of hislop

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

don't think your side will be far from what will end up being the final side !!
Is post in front of Moore , is conners in front of polo ?
I'm pretty confident Deledio and Cousins will play on the wings, whilst I think our starting on ballers will be Jackson cotchin Martin , the problem is the changes and who will rotate through the midfield . Nason , Bling and Thompson ? So here's my tip round 1 !

Farmer Thursty Moore
Newman McGuanne Polo
Cuz Cotchin Deledio
Morton Reiwoldt Nahas
Taylor Polak Roberts

Foll
Simmonds
Martin
Jackson

Int : Vickery Nason Bling Thompson

an unusual bump but thought it would be interesting to compare best end of season side, injuries aside with peoples thoughts from the start of the year.
My best end of season side,injuries aside would have been !!

Moore Goo Thursty
Conners Astbury Lids
Newman Cotchin Nason
Edwards Griffith Taylor
Collins Reiwoldt King

Foll
Graham
Martin
Foley

Int.
Cousins
Post
Jackson
Tuck

Emerg. Bling, White, Webberly, Hicks, Farmer

I'm sure I've probably missed someone ??

No Morton? What about Pick 6, surely will come straight into the side.

Vickery
Morton
Bling
Farmer
Pick 6

IMO they all should be in the best 22.

Also am a bit confused, are you saying that is our best 22 at the end of this year comparing the differences from the start of the season? or is in your opinion our best 22 to move us forward?

MT, it was a comparison from start of the year to end of year , replace nason unfortunately as I think he had a good year, with Morton .
As for those players you name in the best 22 , who would they replace ?
Going forward Cousins has obviously retired which means a potential recruit or
one of the ones you named would come in ?
As for vickery , at seasons end he was our 4th best ruckman option behind Graham, Browne and Post !!

Oh ok, just goes to show how much a side in a developing team changes from round 1 to round 22.

Also agree that Nason had a much better year then Morton.

That's a very good question who would the replace because I'm finding it very hard to put them in the squad.

I shall give it a shot though and see how I go.

Out - Post
In - Vickery
Out - Thursfield
In - Tambling
Out - Cousins
In - Pick 6

Vickery just needs time, DH said a while back that he thinks he will become the premier ruckmen of the comp in a couple years time and I tend to agree, atm all and sundry can see that the kid needs at least another 15kg of muscle to even remotely compete with the best ruckmen in the comp.

And that's where I get stuck, Farmer IMO had a very good season took a while to come on and looked lost for a while, but if you go and have a look back at our purple patch when we started playing some good footy Farmer really provided a lot of run through the backline, 2 games stand out for me and that was the Fremantle game and the Sydney game when we beat them that really stand out and you can see why the club drafted him.

Tough job ahead for the MC to decide who is in our best 22, it's not like the old days when you replace a kid with a experienced player, it's young kid for young kid and trying to get as many games as possible into them.

I heard him say that, but he was more alluding to "Big Man" as in ruck/forward Ottens style. From memory he said "he will be one of the competitions elite big men in 3 or 4 years" I also agree with him. Weird how so many here are writing him off so early.

 

[Mario Speedwagon]

Gourdis Thursty Astbury
Bling Post O'Reilly/Moore
Newman Cotchin Connors
Collins/Knights Griffith Taylor
Vickery Reiwoldt Nason/Collins

Foll
Graham
Martin
Deledio

I/C Morton King/Nason Dea Pick 6/Fit Foley

Post & Vickery share 2nd ruck duties...(Browne still needs time) Connors back to hbf for O'Reilly/Moore for now if we manage to snag Mundy for the midfield....(which we won't , but anyway...) O'Reilly & Moore both play on the HBFs or Farmer comes in if Bling's still out of form or leaves...

 

[santa claws]

thursfield - gourdis - tambling if not traded.
moore - post - deledio.
collins - martin - pick 6 probably one of gaff/atley.
morton - astbury - taylor.
griffiths - riewoldt - goal kicking small of quality.
browne - cotchin - foley.
vickery - dea - newman - one of jackson/tuck.
emg/ grimes nason edwards orielly connors.

Funny post Edwards emergency, pick 6 on the wing, Taylor HF, Foley big big if, Dea on the bench On the cooking sherry again santa

Funny post Edwards emergency, pick 6 on the wing, Taylor HF, Foley big big if, Dea on the bench On the cooking sherry again santa

What?

 

[Bazzar]

What?

So do you seriously believe Edwards who won the Most Improved Award and was 6th in the B&F will start as an emergency? Anyone except for santa would have serious rocks in their peanut brains to think that. Just will not happen.


Taylor? Why has everyone got him in the starting line up has me puzzled. See him againsed Port and he was great at getting it, but was shocking with disposal and decision making, and he is similar to that at Coburg. Need a big improvement and great pre-season/Nab Cup game or two to be in the starting 22

And pick 6 on the wing? How can you say that when we don’t even know who we will pick up. Talk about a long shot.

And who knows with Foley. We still need to know if he can get through a pre-season before he can even be remotely penciled in.

Dea is the interesting one. He could be emergency or sneak onto the bench if he has a good pre-season and Nab Cup.

ah rather than a snide remark some elaboration.
and ulike you i will respect your opinion and can even understand where your coming from.

do i need to defend my opinion hmm i dont think so so i wont.

 

[Morro]

This is always so hard, but here goes,

Bling Goo Moore
LIds Astbury Connors
Morton Foley Newy
Taylor Griff Edwards
King Jack Post

Gus Dusty Cotch

Vickery Collins O'Reilly Jackson

Maybe not our starting 22 next season, but would be close to our best side IMO

 

[Tigers69]

FWIW here's my 2 cents:

Backs: Farmer Gourdis Newman
Half Backs: Connors Astbury Delidio
Centres Morton Cotchin Edwards
Hakf Forwards: Taylor Riewoldt King
Forwards Nason Griffiths Collins

Rucks: Graham Martin Foley

Interchange Vickery Webberley Houli O'Reilly

Emergencies: Mc Guane Dea Post

Vickery gives us flexibility as 2nd Ruck/Forward while the other 3 on the bench give us running depth

 

[Madtiger2006]

I'd rather keep Tambo. Wouldn't bother with Houli. But would give up pick 3 for Sherman. Maybe throw in Moore for a sweetener. But we must delist nahas, hislop, mcmahon, roberts, gilligan, thomson and polo

FB: tambo mcguane newman
HB: connors astbury deledio
C: edwards cotchin gaff
HF: morton post king
FF: sherman reiwoldt griffiths
FOLL: graham martin foley

EMER: famer thursfield rance taylor

 

[richcogs]

B: K. Moore, D. Gourdis, C. Newman
HB: D. Astbury, L. McGuane, D. Connors
C: B. Houli, T. Cotchin, B. Deledio
HF: J. King, J. Riewoldt, M. Morton
F: T. Taylor, J. Post, S. Grigg
FOL: A. Graham, N. Foley, D. Martin
INT: M. Farmer, S. Tuck, S. Edwards - T. Vickery (EM)

D. Heppell/ Polec (heard he is higher on our list than Gaff)
A. Collins
B. Griffiths (I reckon let him develope a bit in the VFL, Post as a forward is the go his last few games were good!)
D. Jackson (Maybe for Grigg)
B. Nason
A. Rance
M. White
J. Webberly

Losing players like: Simmonds, Cousins, Polo, Polak, Nahas, Thursfields

I do not understand we are promising Grigg and Houli a lot of game time. So they are obviously in the team. I think Houli will be great for us, we need a player like him. Grigg is also capable. Getting these young guys cheap is great. One of them will be through the PSD and one for pick 46/50.

Really developing a list. I am a fan of Gourdis and Taylor. Gourdis though especially has a spot with the departure of Thursfields, I think that is why we just let him leave so easy. What is good about Gourdis is that he's so athletic.

 

[santa claws]

thursfield - gourdis - tambling if not traded.
moore - post - deledio.
collins - martin - pick 6 probably one of gaff/atley.
morton - astbury - taylor.
griffiths - riewoldt - goal kicking small of quality.
browne - cotchin - foley.
vickery - dea - newman - one of jackson/tuck.
emg/ grimes nason edwards orielly connors.

hmm take 2 now that thursfield and tambling are gone or likely to be gone. as usual with one eye on development and the other trying to maintain some sort of experience.

b/ moore gourdis newman/farmer.
hb/ deledio post grigg/dea.
c/ collins martin gaff/atley pick 6.
hf astbury miller morton/taylor
f/ connors. riewoldt, goal kicking small of quality.
r/ browne or mature ruckman in trade, cotchin, foley.
int/ vickery, tuck, houli.
emg/ edwards sorry people but i dont rate him, jackson, grimes and any other kids that look likely.
