Under 21 - Best 22

[Yoda_]

Was bored and thought i would make a best 22 under 21 side, here it is, just something for talk, see who thinks players should be in. players are judged on how old they will be at end of year (1 JAN 2009).

here it is. have also made a similar team from all the veterans in another thread.

BACKS: Shannon Hurn Nathan Brown Xavier Ellis
HALF BACKS: Grant Birchall Patrick Ryder Bachar Houli
CENTRE: Scott Pendelbury Joel Selwood Trent Cotchin
HALF FORWARD: Shaun Higgins Josh Kennedy Dale Thomas
FORWARDS: Cyril Rioli Tom Hawkins Lindsay Thomas
RUCKS: Matthew Kruezer Bryce Gibbs Marc Murphy
INTERCHANGE: Andrew Swallow Rhyc Palmer Kieran Jack

Brent Renouf
EMERGENCY: Matthew Lleunberger Austin Woenamirri Kyle Reimers

Good thread, haven't seen one of these before. Can't wait for the unbiased posts of fellow Bigfooty members

 

[darcytiger]

Now that I've got that off my chest, I can't really complain about the team, looks pretty spot on

 

[tigers_seven]

travis boak?

 

[budge11]

Matty Leuy would be my starting ruckman

 

[smiddaz123]

Swallow wtf?

All the emergencies>>>>>>Swallow.

 

[Supasta #3 Murphy]

Have a look at that Ruck/Rover line up
All class there

 

[Urkel]

Swallow wtf?

All the emergencies>>>>>>Swallow.

-4th in tackles in the AFL last year
- Rising Star nominee
- 3rd in possesions last year, out of those who are in the above team.

Better than what Austin Wonammeri has done.

 

[omit]

no colin garland down back?

 

[melbourne150]

No Nathan Jones?? No Colin Garland??...

 

[rocklovelive]

Austin>Cyril
Berger>Kruezer + Renouf

 

[Silvagnis]

Bachar Houli on the HBF?

Slot in Paul Bower as a KPP/third tall defender and you'd be on the money.

I'd have Leuenberger first ruck and Kreuzer off the bench.

Houli has had a better year than Swallow and is a better footballer because he's a great kick.

Swallow can't kick at all.

Ibbotson should be ahead of Renouf.

Shaun Grigg has done as much as Reimers, but doesn't wear orange boots....

And i'm genuinely shocked that one Melbourne player comes in at number 24. Who would have thought there would be a lack of recognition for Melbourne's youngsters.

The fact that Carlton supporters would be cocky about have cheated and stolen the last three number 1 picks by winning F_ALL games for YEARS, carrying on like it makes them sort of powerhouse

Personally I reckon that Nathan Jones kid goes alright wrong colours though eh

what about deledio, destroys mark murphy and only just turned 21.

 

[melbournemartin]

Nathan Jones?

Don't discriminate against the bald fella. I'd rather him over most of those midfielders listed.

 

[Lightning_Rod]

boak?

 

[L_J_T]

screw Dale Thomas, very overated...Pendlebury destroys him any day.

 

[Lazyboy]

Marty Clarke >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> massive amount of space >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Houli

Clarke dominated the final against the cats last year and got us back in it. Proven, Houli, done nothing.

Depends how you classify them. Under 21 should be based on age at start of the year, ie age at January. Ryan Griffen is 21 and = > Delidio

Then you can take out Josh kennedy who turns 21 in 2 months

without deledio !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think maybe you may have just forgotten him
played all 22 games 1st year
won the rs award by a mile
can play both mid & foward
fastest in the comp
gets tagged every week since his first season

deledio is better than 80 % of the players that were named.

No you don't because at 1 January he was 21

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Handy side, Leunberger over Renouf though.

Got some tough critics to it though

 

[RU486]

Clearly Boak should be in there.
