Opinion The Evolution of Your Best 22 for 2019

[V for Valazer]

Is it me, or do people externally rate Neade a lot more highly than Port supporters? There has to be a reason Collingwood were semi-interested.

 

[RossFC]

Neade for the wing...

I reckon he'll get delisted but if he does stay he needs to play at half forward/wing for the Maggies in round 1. His days as a small forward should be done.

Robbie Gray, Sam Gray, Farrell and Johnson can bob up closer to goal and hit the scoreboard more than Neade.

 

[GoPorts]

Neade for the wing...

Nah, that's Sam Gray's spot obviously. The Melbourne supporter told us so

 

[WERRIDEE]

Neade, NEVER EVER ,EVER, EVER.

Replaced him with Rockliff.

 

[WERRIDEE]

Nah, that's Sam Gray's spot obviously. The Melbourne supporter told us so

Where do you want him to play? You gave away your wingmen.

 

[V for Valazer]

Bonner and Burton for the wings.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Where do you want him to play? You gave away your wingmen.

Bonner, Burton, Westhoff and Watts for the Wings.

 

[Janus]

Where do you want him to play? You gave away your wingmen.

Nowhere on the field.

Bonner and Burton as literal wing-backs, sitting on defensive apex of the centre square and pushing up the ground when possible. Leaving space for Watts and Westhoff to lead up the wings from the forward 50 towards either player.

Bonner on the wing it is then and S.Gray on the bench.

I can’t say I’ve ever heard him rated. He has had a couple of good games against Collingwood, so he’s like a Reverse Leon Davis. I’m happy for us to delist and the Pies pick him up.

B: Darcy Byrne-Jones, Tom Clurey, Ryan Burton
HB: Hamish Hartlett, Tom Jonas, Dan Houston
C: Steven Motlop, Ollie Wines, Justin Westhoff
HF: Travis Boak, Todd Marshall, Sam Gray
F: Scott Lycett, Charlie Dixon, Robbie Gray
FOLL: Paddy Ryder, Tom Rockliff, Brad Ebert
I/C: Joe Atley, Dougal Howard, Sam Powell-Pepper, Jack Watts

It's a new-look Power side after the departures of Jared Polec (North Melbourne) and Chad Wingard (Hawthorn). Scott Lycett provides valuable support to Paddy Ryder in the ruck, while he's shown at West Coast he can also play up forward. Hawks recruit Ryan Burton should slot into defence, however he can also be used on the wing or at half-forward. Youngsters Kane Farrell and Riley Bonner are unlucky to miss out, as is defender Jarrod Lienert, who impressed when he came into the side at the end of last season, while Brisbane recruit Sam Mayes provides depth. With picks five, 10 and 15 in the draft, the Power are targeting speed and outside runners, with the potential of making an immediate impact

Looks OK but I've finally lost patience with Sam Gray, his place goes to Kane Farrell. I want to have Motlop where he should be able to do more damage flitting in and out of the play, at half forward. Boak has stagnated in the forwards, get him to start as centre, wing or rover. Then shuffle around Wines and Ebert in the midfield mix and put Westhoff on HFF. Not that it matters much, he won't stay there. The others that look interchangeable are Watts/Frampton and Atley/Mayes/Bonner.

Really liked Farrel late last year, after another preseason should be a lock for round one 2019. Adds much needed pace and ball use.

Linert 25 really stiff. Bonner 22 and farrell 20 just out also

ages as of next year / during next year.
Still have a very young backline. Need another young developing backman
Mids a bit of a concern but this draft has helped.
Forwards are ageing.
But with some of the depth and the age of the best 22 its still young ish.....

 

[Power Raid]

The line ups are looking good but geez we are going to struggle for pace
