Rocco v Xie

[Rocco Jones]

OK not that I have nothing to do until the start of the season, but tonight Xie and I did a mini-draft selecting only players from our list. Here are the 2 teams (we could only pick 19 each, pretend we get 3 medium sized fill ins each of equal talent ie U/18's not selected).

Rocco's Bulldogs

B: Bassett, Croft, Kretiuk
HB: Hargrave, Grant, Picken
C: Gilbee, West, McMahon
HF: McGuiness, Skipper, Bowden
F: Brown, Wiggins, Minson
R: Bruton, Hahn, R.Murphy
19th man: B. Murphy

Xie's Bulldogs

B: Harris, Smith, Cross
HB: Birss, Harrison, Power
C: Alvey, Robbins, Dimmatina
HF: Eagleton, Bandy, Giansiracusa
F: Garlick, Johnson, Walsh
R: Darcy, Faulkner, Colbert
19th man: Wight

SORRY THE POLL SHOULD READ

"WHICH TEAM WOULD WIN"

Like if the game was played next week.

I really needed another backman. Either Grant, Croft or Bassett. Rocco, any idea how many picks were taken before Bassett was selected? Arghh, I can't believe I forgot him. Your backline is better than mine. My Forward line is better than yours. The Midfield is close - Yours is probably better, though.

C: Gilbee, West, McMahon V C: Alvey, Robbins, Dimmatina

Gilbee V Alvey - Alvey (just)
West V Robbins - West
McMahon V Dimmatina - McMahon


R: Bruton, Hahn, R.Murphy V R: Darcy, Faulkner, Colbert

Bruton V Darcy - Darcy
Hahn V Faulkner - Hard to say - ATM. Got to give it to Hahn (just)
Murphy V Colbert - Murphy would absolutey SHlT bricks on him.

Therefore, your side deserves to win.

If Bruton can nullify Darcy the I pick Rocco's team

I don't like the look of Rohan Smith at full back even if he was playing on a small full forward like Johnson. Johnno would rip him apart in the air. Having said that though I never ever want to see Smith play in a key defensive position again, it re-triggers past September nightmares

Neither did I.
Who would you put at FB instead, though?
