Round One 2020 Lineup

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

apologies if there is another one of these threads:

I guess mine is pretty vanilla-

Crisp, Roughead, Maynard
Howe, Moore, Hoskin-Elliot
Sidebottom, Pendles, Phillips
DeGoey, Mihocek, Stephenson
Elliott, Cox, Brown
Grundy, Adams, Treloar

Sier, Mayne, Quaynor, Thomas

 

[Sea fog]

Why don't we wait to see who is fit. We will probably get injuries before the first round.

 

[adammania9]

I don’t expect to see too many surprises. It was a very predictable round one lineup last year and I expect to see something similar

B: Howe - Roughead - Noble
HB: Crisp - Moore - Maynard
C: Phillips - Pendlebury - Sidebottom
HF: Elliott - Mihocek - Thomas
F: Stephenson - Cox - Hoskin-Elliott
R: Grundy - De Goey - Adams
I: Treloar - Brown - Quaynor - Mayne

Maybe one too many defenders depending on where Mayne were to play. In that case, either Sier/Wills/Brown (depending on JLT form) in for Quaynor or Noble.

Zip it lol We're trying to think optimistically here. Hopefully there are no injuries between now and then. There's only been one this whole pre-season.

I like the taste of vanilla.

It’s better than talking about Beams.

 

[TradeDraft]

Will give it after the Practice Games have Happened

Pretty good side. Main worry is our appalling record in Round 1 in recent years.

This is a pretty safe side and it may will be like this with a tweek or two, player here or there but I would love to see someone force their way in round 1. Daicos, Murphy, Tyler Brown, there are others, would love to see someone demand it.

WHE at half back is interesting. Has he been training there? Good side, I might have Noble just ahead of Quaynor based on last season.

Normally playing the Dogs we would consider not being too top heavy, but with the recruiting of Bruce and Keath, and Naughton coming through, they will have more of a traditional spine come round 1 you would think.
Other factor is it is a Marvel game. Will be a very quick game and round 1 will just accentuate that.
Wills might be a chance to play to try and be physical on their mids like the giants did in the first final last year against dogs

Agreed on the Wills front. I would play both him and Sier round 1.

Because it’s the past.

World class analysis. The simple fact that Collingwood are 2-6 under Buckley in round one matches is very telling, and is indeed a very relevant statistic when predicting who wins.

How will that record influence round 1? Please provide analysis.

In the same way Richmond not winning a flag for 30+ years meant they .... oh wait.

why, what’s going on with Beams?

I love the smell of Vanilla in the morning....

 

[whiskeytown]

Bucks tends to have a senior and incumbent line up in rds 1-3 so I think Hoskin Elliot, Thomas and Mayne play.

there are probably only 2-3 spots up for grabs...

A half back mid sized defender role and an off the bench 7th defender role.

And whether it’s Cox or Reid up front

 

[manicpie]

It’s better than talking about Beams.

Then stop dragging his name up, I thought you supported him?

All 3 of those players have been injured this preseason, non of them might play round 1 and anyway, the dogs have a few headaches of their own in DeGoey, Elliot and Stepho

I believe he has. I think it's a good idea to have WHE at half back, he is extremely gifted overhead and fast. We know he is a little hesitant around the hard ball, but perhaps defending goals will give him an extra bit of impetus. Such a great talent and with his speed, Maynard, Howe, Quaynor, Moore and Crisp, it's a lightning quick back half with good ball carry- one of our weaknesses last year.
