Agree.
HB: Hurn Butler
C: Sheppard Stevenson/Smith
HF: Strijk Lecras/Hams
Our best kicks on the flanks and wings.
1) I have said for some time that Butler is wasted as a BP
2) Not sure Hams is one of the best kicks nor Smith (at this stage)
The style of play that is successful now requires quick and accurate ball movement coupled with player running ability to switch play and run through zones. What it tells me is that gut running ability is important but is not as important is disposal accuracy.
What it means is that player disposal becomes crucial and IF you cant kick or IF you cant run all day - then there is perhaps 2 spots out of 22 that is available and they are 1 x an enforcer in each the fwd and backlines. If you assume that Waters holds a mortgage on one spot then Adam Selwood, Stevens and McGinnity are fighting for the one spot.
If all players develop to their capacity then my favoured team by middle 2012 is
Waters - Brown - Schofield
Sheppard - Emac - Hurn
Stevenson - Shuey - Smith
leCras - Kennedy - Ebert
Kerr - Wilson -
Nait - Kerr - Masten
J Jones - Rosa - Stephens - Selwood Jnr
Next in line is Priddis
Note
1) By this time I think Cox, Embley, Bones, Butler and Glass are done
2) I have left one spot open for #4 in 2 weeks
3) Nothing Swift has shown me suggests he is going to be any better than who I have mentioned
4) I cant find any room for Selwood Snr and would only include Dalziell if Rosa goes down. Guys like Houlihan and McGinnity offer next to no value if WC want to take the next step.
