Toughest Blues team in 09

[specky mann]

This has probably been done before but i was just wondering what you think our toughest line up in 09?

 

[blues_gibbzy]

as in toughest not the best? So Bryce Squibbs can't be in it ok ok I won't bring my bay 13 crap here

 

[The Cranium]

Hawthorne will be...they are the benchmark.

Pretty close to the mark, but to not have Murph in there is a massive oversight.

Murph is one of the toughest on our list.

Murph is one of the toughest on our list.

Even though he does like to play for the free on occasion.

What is your definition of tough if you can include Thornton and Setanta ahead of Bower?

Pauly B backed three weeks in a row in 2007 and wore hits from Lloyd and a Collingwood player in successive weeks.

The third time he outmarked Corey Jones backing back.

Bower was braver than his teammates who didn't remonstrate with the two Cats player who gang tackled him to the ground.

Simpson is brave and punches above his non-existant weight.

And no Murphy ahead of Yarran and Betts?

Juggle it any way you like - we just don't have a tough list. But that's okay, traditionally we win our flags with class not cnut.

Hard for a young team to be a tough team....as the bodies get bigger, the fears lessen, Robbo sets good examples...we will toughen up

everybodys had a crack at my team but nobody else had the balls to put there our team up. harden the f up

Picking a team (eg two rucks) rather than the toughest 22

Armfield Bannister O’hAilpin
Anderson Bower Grigg
Judd Carrazzo Walker
Bentley Waite Russell
Wiggins Fevola Pfieffer
Cloke Hadley Murphy
Bentick Jacobs Robinson Stanton


Not a lot of guys who physically hurt opposition, but more who can take what the opposition might dish out. That said Bannister, O'hAilpin, Grigg, Bentley, Pfieffer, Robinson and it seems from training Stanton have some mongrel in them - but of those only O'hAilpin is a big man. We are no way a physically intimidating team, but hopefully we are past the stage of being pushed around as over recent years.

A bit of a weird team but I like Scotland and Gibbs down the wing for their ability to easily get the ball and run. Grigg is a big agile young man and he could do well in our backline. He could be swapped with Anderson though. Hampson could have spells with Cloke, Russell with Pfeiffer, Armfield with Murphy and Bannister with Grigg. I like it.
