Round One, 2013

[Mego Red]

FF: Henderson, Walker, Callinan
HF: Porplyzia, Tippett, Wright
C: Vince, Thompson, Sloane
HB: Smith, Talia, Reilly
FB: Shaw, Rutten, Petrenko

1st R: Jacobs, Dangerfield, van Berlo
Res: Johncock, Mackay, Douglas, Otten

Who else would be pushing up into that side? Crouch, Lyon, Brown, Johnston, Kerridge, Martin, Riley? And who would they replace?

Well, it's only been less than 48 hour since the preliminary final loss but time doesn't stand still in terms of football.It's only something like 130 odd days until the NAB cup starts and we have to defend our preseason title. So, this is my very early make shift team for next year.

My forward and defensive structure will see 3 talls and 3 smalls or running types who can rotate in and our of the midfield. That will allow for 12 or 13 different players who can move into the midfield rotation and we can still have flexibility and structure.

B: Andy Otten ~ Ben Rutten ~ Brent Reilly
HB: Nathan van Berlo ~ Danial Talia ~ David MacKay
C: Matthew Wright ~ Brodie Smith ~ Sam Shaw
HF: Bernie Vince ~ Taylor Walker ~ Rory Sloane
FF: Josh Jenkins ~ Lewis Johnston ~ Jason Porplyzia
Ruck Sam Jacobs ~ Patrick Dangerfield ~ Scott Thompson

Interchange: Ricky Henderson ~ Jarrod Lyons ~ Richard Douglas ~ Brad Crouch (sub)

Emergency: Sam Kerridge ~ Brodie Martin ~ Tom Lynch ~ Luke Brown.

Out: Ian Callinan, Jarrod Pretenko, Kurt Tippett, Michael Doughty, Graham Johncock .

Keep in mind that this is still very early and before the list managers have been able to sculpture the 2013 list with delistings, trade and player drafts. So this is how I believe the team should look that will allow us to remain in the top 4, develop players for the present and the future and give an opportunity to the younger player who are killing it in the SANFL.

So over to you. Lets see how you would structure your Adelaide Crows 2013 team.

LOL, you and Alex created basically the same thread at exactly the same time.

 

[Mego Red]

Merge!

Whoa - I just started the SAME thread at the SAME time!

Mods ..?

[Damp Squarie]

Will Tippett be there?
Should Rutten be there?...OK maybe...just.
Crouchy and Kerridge in for Stiffy and Callinan

 

[Cap]

Will wait till after Tippett tells us what he is doing.

Gone apparantly. They say it will be a multi club trade with Tippet ending up in Sydney.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I'm happy you're not on the selection committee.
Or have you seen into the future and Crouch is injured?

 

[StonesThrow]

B: Otten/Shaw Rutten Smith
Hb: Reilly Talia VB
C: Mackay Wright Sloane
Hf: Vince Walker Johncock
F: Porplyzia Jenkins Henderson

R: Jacobs Thommo Danger

I: Lyons Douglas Martin Callinan

E: Petrenko Crouch Lynch Brown

Assuming tippet leaves. Smith I would like to see released to a wing. I I would like Brown to step up and play that defensive role Smith has been playing. Might not happen straight away, but I like brown from what i saw yesterday.

I think Callinan still has a place. His foot skills up forward are the best in the side. Needs to keep form high to hold his place however. Hope this happens.

Not sure on Shaw or Otten. Otten probably has more reliable disposal. Defensively pretty similar.

Where'd you hear that one?

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Crouch will play round 1 2013 unless he is injured.
I would be very surprised if Tippett is with us... Jenkins/Mckernan/Johnston to replace....
Lyons needs to be given the forward pocket round 1. Unfortunately Callinan needs to make way

 

[Slippery Pete]

WTF is this thread.

 

[BACCS]

This seems a little early... our season ended 2 days ago..

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Crouch is a lock for the 22!

That team looks awesome! But I'd swap VB and Shaw...

 

[rayven]

Where'd you hear that one?

Rushhour had that dweeb Mark Stevens on, seems to be the trade chatter in Victoria. If he's not making it up or being bullshitted to, it's probably reliable.

 

[Elder van Berlo]

Like the premise of the thread, in reality it's too soon. Will come back after the trade/FA month.

[FR0GGY]

Threads like this should be banned until we know our squad for 2013 what's the point we could have close or Godard albeit unlikely.

 

[PykeDream]

It really doesn't matter if there's still water to pass under the bridge in terms of list management. There are still things that may be discussed right now.

I think if we are quiet during the trade period then that will be a win. Some players on our list who could become very good but would not fetch much at the trade table (Andy Otten, Luke Thompson, Shaun McKernan)

Emg : The rest

Sydney are wily enough to pull this off. Can you imagine if they win the Premiership, then get Tippett!

 

[JP Sauce]

You forgot Kym Koster!

Unless you already know that we're playing a good team in round 1.
