In an effort to take my mind off the gut wrenching news about Josh I've been occupying my mind with how we should line up round 1 minus his presence and the likely absence still of James.
My team :
FF : Lade White S. Burgoyne
HF : C. Cornes Tredrea Pickett
1R : Brogan P. Burgoyne Ebert
C: Dew Carr Wilson
HB : Montgomery Bishop Poulton
FB : Wanganeen Wakelin Hardwick
Int : Thurstans Primus K. Cornes Salopek
Forward line looks as potent as ever. Dew on a wing so his long kicking can be used instead of 'buried' near goal.
Carr, Wilson and Ebert provide plenty of in and under skills and toughness in the centre. No players tagging. For all the talk about how we are screwed a starting midfield six (including ruckman) of Brogan, P. Burgoyne, Ebert, Dew, Carr and Wilson is a good plenty of toughness, in and under players, flash skills, experience and youth.
Defence is a bit old - rotate K. Cornes and Thurstans into it not long after play starts. Hardwick only to get a game as always does well against his old side and don't want to blood too many youngsters at once. Otherwise a back up player for the year.
And now for the depressing part - how I think Choco will line them up :
FF : Dew Primus S. Burgoyne
HF : C. Cornes Tredrea Pickett
1R : Brogan P. Burgoyne Schofield
C : K. Cornes Carr Cochrane
HB : Wilson Bishop Forster-Knight
FB : Wanganeen Wakelin Kingsley
Int : Thurstans Salopek Montgomery Poulton
With Kingsley and RFK in the side, Ebert not. Cochrane and K. Cornes tagging us into trying to 'not lose our way to 4 points' as per usual. Poulton not given the start on the ground as usual.
