Team for 1st Match

[Dogs 13]

That's what I meant about lacking urgency. After the centre bounce he just lets the game happen around him.

Bruton was on the list about 3 years too long.

faulkner could possibly be a BP

Street is not a super athelete but is giving his all....
Darc has improved his goal kicking from the few shots he had today (12/12) and seemed to be intent on concentrating what he should do when forward...hence street... or skip or bandy

If it's looking more probable that Rawlings, Bandy & Darcy will play forward then we could have one the most dangerous forward lines in 2004 and be far stronger there than with Brown in 2003.

If so, then our fortunes rest on midfield defence (we're short a tagger and another big body) and backline gaps (query over BP and FB - Harris inexperienced, Croft getting too old).

Thats the point RH, Street is not just about what Street can do, its about what the team can do with Street in it.

 

[stefoid]

The reason I think Faulkner is because he (reportedly) has the attributes, and neither him or Cooney will be spending much time in the middle in 03. Cooney FP and Faulkner BP seems a good place for them to learn something - remember, Cooney is 186cm and from his video on AFL.com, he knows where the goals are!

 

[Bloody-Redhead]

Yep!

The idea is that having ths same list doesn't mean you will reach the level you were at, or limit it to where you were in the past...Always helps to have influx of people, but we don't have to change EVERY position based on our ladder position in 03.

I still reckon we can be a bit top heavy in forward and just a little bare in back half... on paper....Lets wait and SEE!

Pavlich v Godden - Freo by stacks. Pavlich is an absolute gun, and Goddard isn't on that wavelenght yet...
Schammer v Ball - saints by a little bit
Hasleby v Hayes - Freo by a bit again
Bell v Harvey - Saints by a mile, Harvey, even in his old age, is simply brilliant.

I still think Freo have the edge however, mostly because of Subiaco.

Taswegians! One head talking to the other!

Well i can't argue with u there Maddog...

That leaves Birss, Power, Gilbee, K-Mac, Bowden, Croft, Walsh,
McMahon,Cross, Morgan and Bassett to fight it out for the remaining six spots.

Barring injury, McMahon is a certainy to be in the 22 for the first round.

what makes you think that?

 

[Borgsta]

I dont think Jordee is a certainty at all. He didnt do enough in 2003 to be claimed as a certainty.

On Faulkner I think it was Mr. Walkers interview with the players (could be completly wrong) but someone said a club official had Cameron down as a definate for Round 1.

 

[Go_Doggies]

Why wouldnt Birss be in the best 22? and wouldnt they be eager to give Morgan a game first up; give him a chance?

 

[Fossie 32]

What about Boyd? He looks promising.

 

[stefoid]

Boyd is the forgotten man.

 

[Fossie 32]

yeah, I was thinking somebody is missing from these discussions - had to look at the list to work out who it was!

 

[bluesforever]

Hargreaves Harris Bassett

----------------Smith------------

Murphy Grant Koops

Gilbee West Cooney


Rawlings Johnson


Bandy Walsh Faulkiner


Darcy Hahn Giansiracusa


McMahon Bowden Street Birss

Smith plays loose across half-back. This allows Rawlings and Johnson to play between centre and half-forward. Walsh shares F/F with Bowden.

This is a top six team given a fair run with injuries




Top 12 or 13 maybe... you's are dreaming if yas are considering the 8 next year, give yous 2 or 3 years maybe
