Analysis Rolling 22 under 22 side

[Sweet Jesus]

To be eligible for selection, players must be aged 22 or under for the entire season, including finals. So basically players have to be born after October 1998.

Fire away.

Who deserves a mention?

[Altum Volantes]

Serong definitely deserves a mention.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

A couple of mentions for Serong.

I like the way he wraps around the stoppage.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Is there a ruckman who qualifies?

Probably ends up being someone like Luke Jackson

for us.

 

[Schauermann]

Caleb Serong.

Brawshaw (and Cerra) in the mix as well. But mid is probably be the hardest spot to get a gig. So wait and see who can keep it up the whole season...

 

[Dav]

Sydney looking at probably 5 players in this hypothetical team right now - Campbell, Gulden, McDonald, Wicks and Warner.

Butters would be in the side too.

 

[RUNVS]

Sydney looking at probably 5 players in this hypothetical team right now - Campbell, Gulden, McDonald, Wicks and Warner.

Butters would be in the side too.

Would include McCartin too as he only turned 21 around 3 months ago.

 

[Golden_6]

Naughton & Smith the certainties from the Dogs.

 

[Instincts]

I'll nominate Stephenson but probably deserves to be benched at best. No one else is in the convo IMO for North.

 

[juss]

Probably ends up being someone like Luke Jackson even if he doesn't spend much time in the ruck.

Sam Draper from the Bombers?
Can't think of many choices.

 

[Shadow89]

My first crack (stuck Butters in the forward pocket, so I could fit Anderson in the guts)

B: Ridley, T. McCartin, Quaynor
HB: H. Clark, B. Cox, Cerra
C: B. Smith, A. Brayshaw (Freo), Daicos
FO: L. Jackson, Walsh, N. Anderson
HF: Gulden, O. Allen, Wicks
F: K. Pickett, Naughton, Butters
INT: Serong, Warner, Balta, Parfitt

EMG: Z. Bailey, Jordon, Drew B. King

Apologies for any I've forgotten

EDIT: Didn't realize 22 year old's could be included, so included Allen, Ridley, Parfitt, B. Cox, Drew and Daicos, and omitted Sholl, B. King, Ash, Bailey, Jordon and B. Campbell (moved Jordon, B. King and Z. Bailey to emergencies, with Drew being added to emergencies from the 22 yr olds). Perryman, B. Campbell (Syd), Sholl, Ash, L. McDonald (Syd), Jiath, J. Clark and M. King - after a slow start to the year - right on the cusp). Anyone with injuries or who has only played 1 game thus far, not included.

RECENT EDIT: Allen still young enough, didn't realize - is absolutely an automatic inclusion. King to emergencies, Perryman to pushing for selection

 

[Shadow89]

I'll nominate Stephenson but probably deserves to be benched. No one else is in the convo IMO for North.

Too old, and probably wouldn't have done enough anyway, as he's only had one good game thus far

 

[Instincts]

Too old, and probably wouldn't have done enough anyway, as he's only had one good game thus far

I think you can get in at 22 and yeah, looking at the team you posted, he wouldn't beat any of the players you listed with his season so far

 

[Shadow89]

Jacob Weitering who turned 22 before the 2020 season started was in there.

Nah you were right, I just read the guidelines of the thread - my bad

Deleted my post accordingly, haha

EDIT: Now I have to find a way to include Ridley, Perryman, Parfitt and Daicos, who all should definitely be in there

a lock for this side.

 

[1990crow]

Lachie Sholl for us.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Ridley probably the biggest lock around for this side.

Draper misses out on eligibility by 2 days. McGrath also a couple of months too old.

Our next in line after that is probably Caldwell.

[Bald]

Not sure he’s definitely in but I’d consider Vandameer from the Dogs.

 

[conrad_437]

Not sure he’s definitely in but I’d consider Vandameer from the Dogs.

He'd be battling Wicks and Gulden for that HFF role. If he avoids injury he's a big chance. Good start to the year.

can’t crack a spot.

I’d have him in the team ahead of, for example, Gulden or Warner or Wicks. Sure, they are all flavour of the month right now but they have 3,5 and (about) 10 games under their belts. Bailey has a much more substantial body of work to press his claim.

As a general rule, I reckon players in their first (or nearly first) year of footy have to be exceptional to win a spot in a team with players who are established AFL players, many of them established top-line players.

It is only based on this year though, so they have the same body of work.
