Round 1, 2015

[conodie05]

Hello good morning!

I am bored and daydreaming. As a result I have come up with what I think could be our Round 1, 2015 team.

FB - Seedsman Brown Toovey
HB - Williams Frawley Lumumba
C - Sidebottom Macaffer Young
HF - Scharenberg Reid Adams
FF - Elliott Cloke Freeman
FOLL - Grundy Beams Pendlebury

Int - (From) Witts Langdon Freeman Moore Blair Broomhead Keeffe Frost Kennedy

Out - Swan (Ret.) Maxwell (Ret.) Goldsack & 2nd Pick (Traded for Frawley ) .


Obviously this is based on preseason form, recovery from injury, etc. How good does our future look?

A team from the future needs more cyborgs.

Our future looks incredibly exciting of course, though I presume that was meant as a rhetorical question!

I wouldn't be too ready to pension Swan off just yet, though. And if we were to get Frawley (I don't imagine we will) it would surely only be under free agency and we wouldn't be giving up anything to get him.

A bit top heavy down back (unless we are playing Sydney) but otherwise this one looks pretty good to me

 

[TradeDraft]

Why would we trade for Frawley when he is a Unrestricted Free Agent?

Yeah, if we come up against a team like Port Adelaide for example we would drop one of the defenders for balance as they only play 2 tall forwards. But you will find that most teams play 3 tall forwards in the modern game.

I didn't realise that.

 

[THATSGOLD]

Meanwhile Kyle Martin still can't get a game. Lol

Kyle Martin was traded to GWS for Jeremy Cameron....who isnt featured in this round 1 team because he has a 1 week injury

Oh I could I forget. I also love how the whole team is right to go round 1. First time in 56 years.

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

Fair change to interchange system in 2015.

 

[mattys123]

Haha, Dane Swan retired, haha, funny joke.

 

[THATSGOLD]

Injury list looks like

Injury List:
None.






Is this some type of a joke..

 

[TradeDraft]

Haha, Dane Swan retired, haha, funny joke.

Won’t be next year but it’s lot Closer then people think. Retire in 3 seasons

 

[Smoky]

That's when we'll unfurl the flag.

 

[Baird]

Is Frawley still likely to leave Melbourne?

 

[MagpieBat]

Haha, Dane Swan retired, haha, funny joke.

Culch-ah don't ya know?

 

[ottoman]

I hop we don't bid for frawley. We have enough players who can't kick

 

[neilk]

So Cameron out for the season then...

On a more serious note, is Frawley really that good or is it more a reflection on the (lack of)quality of this year's free agents coming through?

To be honest I don't know much about him. I tend to only follow our club closely. My comment about his kicking was based on what I have heard from commentators and journalists. Has been mentioned that he is not a good disposer of the ball.

 

[conodie05]

Wow gents, kick a man for daydreaming!!

 

[Unknown Identity]

What i hope our Round 1 team looks like, barring injuries of course!

Really feel we need our strongest back 6 and that means Reid plays back and Karnezis plays the 3rd tall.

I like the combination of Grundy and Witts with whoever is having the better game, the other to be subbed off late in the 3rd/early 4th.

Really felt White looked his most dangerous closest to goals and Cloke to use his tank up the field, negating the 3rd man up/double team. Leading from 35-40 out and kicking most his goals from 40-55 metres. Don't mind Cloke working up onto a wing either.

B: Frost - Brown - Williams
HB: Langdon - Reid - Toovey
C: Kennedy - Beams - Sidebottom
HF: Karnezis - Cloke - Swan
F: Broomhead - White - Elliott
R: Witts - Pendlebury - Adams

INT: Seedsman - Grundy - Goldsack - Lumumba

EMG: Freeman - Keefe - Blair

DEPTH: Armstrong - Dwyer - Gault - J.Thomas - Marsh - Oxley - Ramsay - Fasolo - Sinclair - Young - Pick 8 and Darcy Moore

INJURED: Scharenberg - Macaffer
