Round 1 2013

[Tigerland]

I like the look of this potential side in 2 years.

B Batchelor Grimes Newman

HB Deledio Astbury Conca

C Connors Cotchin Edwards

HF Morton Griffiths Helbig

F Taylor Reiwoldt Post

R Vickery Martin Foley

INT Grigg Houli Ruck??? Crumber???

EMG Rance Farmer (hardness when required)

I like the spine. Not too many bad kicks in the starting 18. Good to very good users and decision makers in the back 6.

Not sure on Edwards, hope he makes it.

 

[Bazzar]

How many players are lining up this Thursday night that were in your predicted 2011 team you posted in March 2009? Bugger all i guess.

Silly threads these.

 

[The Goon]

The difficulty with this sort of prediction is it misses two years of drafts, trades and now free agency. I'd suggest that at the start of the 2013 season at the very least 4 positions would be taken by players not on our list now.

_____________________________________

Half the list has been turned over since 2009.
You don't think that will happen in 2 years time do you?

The main difference now is that the young players with potential wil be played together.
A good defence takes time to build, it doesn't gel in 12 months.

At the vey least Nrichmond, I'm not discounting the possibility that it may be more.

Taking a non BF Tiger posters team in to account, this team is the HUNs best Richmond line up for 2012, printed in their sports lift out. The players in bold were in the 2009 season opener.

B- Newman McGuane Moore
HB - Deledio Astbury Connors
C - Jackson Martin Cotchin
HF- Morton Vickery Grigg
F- Nason Riewoldt King
Foll- Graham Tuck Foley

Int- Edwards Conca Miller Houli

And these 7 hadnt been drafted until the following draft. -

Astbury, Martin, Grigg, Nason, Conca, Miller, Houli.

So predicting our 2013 line up is near impossible.

Please! Can we just get through round 1, 2012 first?

I'm happy to focus on Round 1, 2011 first

Excellent point.
Jeez, let's get through Thursday night before worrying what's going to happen in two years time.

Sure. Just thought it was timely to point out to the doomsdayers and chicken little lovers that regardless of what happens on Thursday we are starting to build a very good side.

 

[Shere Khan]

This thread needs more Scully

 

[Morro]

In 2 years I think we will have many many new faces in our starting 22.

Newy Goo ?
Batch Astbury ?
Lids Cotch Conca
Houli Griff Morton
King Jack ?

Vickery Martin Foley

bench Grigg Post ? sub: ?

Atleast 5 new players in the starting 22 IMO.

A small lock down defender
Another running HBF
A goal sneak
Another mid
another mid as a sub

 

[Tigerland]

Goo won't make it.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Goo won't make it.

Im leaning towards this as well, dosen't seem like hes pushing for slection at all
