With the recruitment of Wallis, Liberatore and Vespa, and the probable arrival of Sherman, I thought I'd kick off with some pre-season selection ideas...Team is shaping up nicely...

Mattie's starting lineup, Round 1, 2011:

B: Hargrave, Lake, Morris
HB: Gilbee, Williams, Murphy
C: Boyd, Griffen, Picken
HF: Higgins, Grant, Ward
F: Giansiracusa, Hall, Sherman
Foll: Hudson, Cooney, Cross
Int: Wallis, Veszpremi, Roughead, Wood
Emerg: Hooper, Jones, Hill
Next in line: Addison, Liberatore, Moles, Minson, Cordy, Hahn, Stack

I bet the club will debut Liber and Wallis in the same game. Add some beautiful sentiment to the game :p

It would be great to see. Wallis is a little ahead of Libba from all reports, but not out of realms of possibility that both could play in round 1.

Wallis looks a clone of a 1983 scanlens card of his dad that I have. If either turn out to be as good as their dads, then we are in business...
 
Re: Round 1 2011 Team

My current line-up:

B: Wood, Lake, Morris
HB: Gilbee, Williams, Hargrave (to be replaced by Sherman)
C: Griffen, Cross, Picken
HF: Higgins, Jones, Murphy
F: Grant, Hall, Veszpremi
Foll: Hudson, Cooney, Boyd
Int: Ward, Giansiracusa, Roughead
Sub: Wallis
Emerg: Hooper, Addison, Howard
Next in line: Liberatore, Moles, Hill, Hahn, Minson, Cordy, Stack

I really hope we bring in both Sherman, and Walker.

Outs to be Hill, Stack and Minson (regrettably cos I like Minno)...
 
Re: Round 1 2011 Team

What I love about getting Veszpremmi, Djekurra, Sherman and possibly Walker? is we're getting that depth back again we seemed to lack last year, good preseason out of Reid, Higgins and Ward, Libba and Wallis added to existing midfield of Cooney, Griff, Picken, Boyd, Cross, gives us a lot of options. Hopefully we go down the track of only playing blokes that are 100%.
 
Re: Round 1 2011 Team

Was too hard to put together a well thought out one for me. Just shows how much depth we will have now.

Go back 12 months and you'll see lots of people saying the same thing.

In reality, if we have several irreplacable players, as we found out this year...
 
Re: Round 1 2011 Team

If the MC pick blokes on FORM and FORM alone then we will go well.

If they pick blokes on sentiment and because they are too conservative to try anything different then we will get the same result as this year.

If we can't feel bullish about a new season then we may as well not bother.

I think the team looks great. Good depth....if we can get Walker and Sherman.
 
Re: Round 1 2011 Team

Wood Lake Morris
Murphy Williams Gilbee
Sherman Boyd(c) Ward
Higgins Jones Grant
Gia Hall Veszpremi
Hudson Cooney Griffen

Cross, Hargrave, Picken, Roughead

EMG: DJ, Addison, Wallis

Next in line : Libba, Hahn, Moles, Howard, Tutt, Cordy, Reid.

Still think we should try chase some draft picks and go after a speedy winger, and a key posi backmen.

Adam, I like your overall team however I feel you havent been hard enough on some of the regulars. The questions our match committee need to consider before picking the Bulldogs team in the future are (1) is this player good enough to get us to a GF (2) if not, can they lift their performance to another level (3) how does this player perform in pressure games (4) is this player holding out a younger player who would benefit from experience in the senior side.

That said, I think you still have a few players with question marks ... Hargrave, Gilbee, Gia, (some people will not like this) Cross and Boyd.
Not saying these players shouldnt be there but do they meet the criteria for us to get to a GF.
 
Re: Round 1 2011 Team

Originally i had Jones at CHF, Hall at FF and Grant in a forward pocket. Then i started to think that maybe this is a litle bit top heavy.

Then people started talking about the new rules and how the second ruckman would have to rest up forward so as to not limit the midfield rotations. So my forward line would have Roughead in it too. Definately too top heavy. I think Grant and Jones can become very good players and should be given lots of game time to allow that to happen. I will be relying on Grant and Jones to develop into very mobile players.
 
Re: Round 1 2011 Team

^ Not too top heavy, Grant & Jones are fairly mobile. I'll post my team when trade week ends...

When you name a team with Cross on the bench, you know the club is generating some depth...

I respect that everyone has an opinion, but there is no way you could sensibly leave Gia out of the 22. I see a massive lack of finishing skills and entries into the 50 in that centre/HF line. Gia is an integral part of our offensive set-up. Swap Murph to HF, Higgins to FP, Grant to FP, Gia to HF, Vez not in the team until we see what he brings.

Pains me to say but can't see how Roughy gets a game, Hargrave and Hahn past it, Wallis a great addition to start as a sub, Would also love to see Reid get a game.
