Round 1 Team

[Darkhour]

B: Maguire, Gehrig, Peckett
HB: Jones, Hudghton, Schwarze
C: Black, Powell, Hayes
HF: Brooks, Riewoldt, Thompson
F: Milne, Penny, Burke
R: Knobel, Harvey, Baker

INT: Ball, Voss, Kosi, Lawrence

This is my updated Rnd 1 team after the exclusion of Hamill and Capuano. Very weak in the ruck department and although the forward line has lots of possiblities, it is inexperienced in the big man department and the backline although looking strong on paper is probably a little underdone..

HF: Brooks
That's a bit sooner than most of us were expecting?
How has he gone in the pre-season?

 

[Darkhour]

bit of a ?? about placement etc.. but in my mind he's viewed as a strong mark and good kick and although obviously he's not completely up to scratch (he's as good as you'd expect at this age and experience and he's not bad), without Capuano and Knobel rucking... insurance in the ruck.. Kosi maybe aswell...

When he was at Port the talk was that he would be lucky to get a game in 2004, and start slowly in 2005.
Long term he was viewed as max potential.
He was in some of the pre-season team sheets that I read. Did he play? If yes, how did he go?

Quite difficult yet to know who's fit but here's my attempt:

B:--Teague------Watt----Makepeace
F:--Brooks--Koschitzke---Milne

HB:--Baird-----Brown----Sinclair
HF:---Ball---Riewoldt---Penny

C:---King-----Stevens----Grant
C:--Powell-----Hayes-----Black

HF:-Clayton----Morrell---Harding
HB:-Schwarze---Hudghton--Jones

F:---Jones-----Rocca----Harvey
B:--Lawrence---Gehrig---Baker

R:--Burton----Simpson----Robbins
R:--Capuano---Harvey----Thompson

Intorter---Colbert---Wells---Harris
Int:-Blake---Goddard---Burke---Voss

*if Capuano any doubt, Knobel should play.
**if Murray promoted, I would have him in.
***not entirely confident Brookes ready yet.

also hard to leave out Maguire, DalSanto, Clarke, Moyle
