What would you like to see our nab cup team look like? personally i would like heath hocking from our rookie list to get a game. I think he has alot of talent and could be a good player for us in the future. I would also like most of our draftees to get a game. i would like guys like Monfries to have a crack in the midfield.
 
Its hard to say at this point which senior players will play but ill give it a shot.

B-Slattery, Lee, Nash
HB- NLM, Bradely, Cole
C- Dempsey, Watson, Hocking
HF- Jetta, Gumbleton, Johns
FF- Davey, Lloyd, Lovett
R- Laycock, Monfries, Dyson
I/C- Ryder, Hislop, Houli, Riemers, Mckinnon, Bolton (we all no sheedy will find a spot for him specially in NAB cup)
 
i would start hislop on the ground in the centre, watson is alot more experienced than him.
 
also johns in the pocket lovett or davey flank.

Heres my team.....don't think it will happen though. All the old coots out,why risk injuries? A team like this probably won't get past the first rd,but I never get too excited about the pre-season cup...does anyone?:o

Welsh MM NLM

Lee McPhee Reimers

Lovett Watson Stanton

Gumby Johns KB

Monfries Lloyd Davey

Ruck-Laycock,Dyson,Houli

The Pine- Hislop,Jetta,Cole and Bolton;)
 
]We could try run Hislop with Gibbs for the day, never know what could happen.



Good idea, and maybe houli or jetta to run with Mark murphy.

Not that much. i like to see the new draftees play and i like to see people playing in different positions.

I like it, means footy is back after 5 long months and its a good chance to see some of the young fellas get a run who probably wont start round 1, extra exciting this year IMO as we had a very good draft

Id swap LLoyd and Johns, although Johns at FF, Lloyd at CHF and attempt that structure with Lucas flanking Lloyd on either side.

No Fletcher Nobby ?


Nah,let Mal show us what he's got,give Fletch a rest.

I don't want any injuries to key players. But Lloyd needs a run before the real stuff starts:thumbsu:

but we need to see what fletcher is like at chf.
 
everyone just needs to be match fit, simple

Actually,when I thought about it more,this NAB cup will good for us to try out different players.Unlike other seasons where I dreaded our older guys playing at the risk of injury,this time I'd like to see us play as many games as possible.

Don't want to get knocked out in the first rd this time and I'd like to see most players get a run.......except Hirdy..cottonwool for u Jimmy:D

We had a similar mindset last year after player evry kid possible the year before. I think we'll just pick the players who need a run the most every week of the NAB Cup or corresponding practice games.

What players are you thinking of?

Anyone on the list, barring injury. I think we'll just select the 24 guys most in need of match fitness at that point in time, its pretty much impossible to guess who'll run out against Carlton at this point in time
 
I'd have our best 22 right from the start.

Last year was a disgrace. Pick the best 22 from the start and let everyone know where they stand....then swap them around according to form.

I want to see Fletcher and Michael controlling the KPP back positions. And I want to see how this allows McPhee, Welsh and Cole to perfom.

I want Stanton/Watson/JJ to continue to develop their chemistry, as well as Winders, Pev, Dyson, Campo etc...

Up forward, Lloyd from word go at FF, pocketed by Lovett and perhaps davey

Lucas CHF with Hird/Gumby/Johns filling the gaps....

We aren't in a position to be giving anyone free games....lets iron out the chinks from the top down....starting NAB cup Rd 1 !!!!!!
 
I would think due to this years poor standing that Sheedy will field a fairly strong side, giving supporters something to cheer about and look forward to.

He will field enough senior players to hopefully win the match whilst rotating the new recruits on and off the ground to have a look at what they can do. :)
