[Soups]

FB: Stanley, Presti, Clement
HB: Lonie, Tex, Toovey
C: Heater, Swan, Rhyce
HF: Dids(Medhurst), Tippet, Travis
FF: Buckley, Rocca, Rusling
Foll: Fraser, Davis, Obree

What a crap side

 

[loki04]

FB: Clement Presti J.Anthony

HB: H.Shaw T.Cloke O'Brien

C: B.Johnson Swan Thomas

HF: Egan Rocca Buckley

FF: Davis Rusling Medhurst

R: Fraser O'Bree Pendlebury

Int: R.Shaw , Licuria , Burns , Maxwell

Emg: Pick 8 & 10 , Cook/Isles/Stanley , Lockyer.

Injured / suspended : Didak , Holland.

I like Trav at CHB , with Rocca moved back out to CHF it gives us a target to go to out of defence straight down the middle and also he wont get in Ruslings way, like he did in a few games last season when Ruz was running hot. Rusling should be put at FF all year to learn it and make it his own.
Since its clear we are rebuilding (again) we should be playing youth over exp unless the older player is blitzing and youngen strugling.

We need Walker to step into CHB...cant keep stopgapping with Wakes for much longer.If Not bring in JA....Spot is there for the taking.

Also think we should make a play for Makepeace.Capable of good footy might need a new environment and would be a handy small running defender/tagger.

Need to seriously look at taking Licca/Lockyer out of our best 22.I know its sounds scandoulous to do so but for the future.
Also would love to look at Proud -Hislop- Armitage with picks 8 & ten in the draft.

One concern is we look a lil thin in terms of depth.

What a crap side

Why? Because it contains unproven players?

How many of us predicted heath shaw and dane swan to have breakthrough years?

 

[gopies90]

Guys this team has Experience in defence, Pace and Youth in the midfield, Smart players in the forward line and a mixture of pace and experience on the bench

When do i get Balmes job

FB: Burns Presti O'Brien
HB: Buckely Clement Isles
C: B.Johnson H.Shaw Pendlebury
HF: Didak T.Cloke Holland
FF: Thomas Rusling Rocca
R: Fraser Swan Thomas

Int: Clarke, L Davis, O’Bree & Pick 8 or 10
Emg: Licuria , Richards, Lockyer, R Shaw

I doubt any of the first-year players will break into the team at the start of the season so there's no need to comprehend these players. Be open-minded. There will be changes.

C: RhyceShaw DaneSwan BenJohnson

HF: DaleThomas AnthonyRocca TravisCloke

FF: NathanBuckley SeanRusling LeonDavis

R: JoshFraser PaulLicuria ShaneO'Bree

INT: GuyRichards ScottBurns PaulMedhurst HarryO'Brien

I am an avid believer that Licuria will be back to his best. He had an interrupted preseason and was always going to lose touch with the others.

Walker and Richards will improve, simply because they have to.

Just because they have to doesn't mean they will, Richards has been on the list now for 7 yrs this season coming on almost a decade he will not get much better at all!

Well no offence, but if we put that side onto the field we would get pasted. I dunno about you but i would want our strongest side to actually win?

 

[magpiemaniac]

If Walker is going to be our CHB we will struggle. Could you imagine what J.Brown and Tredrea would do to him!

 

[doppleganger]

Try to come up with a couple of left field options

Players who will have really big pre-seasons and make big impressions next year (hopefully!!)

Tex Walker - this is the biggest stretch of the imagination, more hopeful then anything but perhaps seeing all his other non performing duds get the flick he may work his ass off, get really fit and take hold of the CHB posi, jumping ahead of Maxwell, Wakelin & J.Anthony who will be putting the pressure on. Perform some big shutdown roles on the likes of Pav, Riewoldt during the season due to his good endurance!


Leon Davis - another who steps it up next year after a big pre-season, change of roles tho as he is used in the back line as a wirrpanda, mcleod type role as the creator.

Chris Egan - improves his motor to become a Andrew Embley type wingman - HF.

J.Fraser - maybe asking too much but challenges Cox for AA honours in a year when he wins both around the ground and in the ruck contest!

My side

BP - L.Davis, Presti, Clement
HB - B.Johnson, Walker, H.Shaw
C - Egan, Swan, Lonie
HF - Thomas, T.Cloke, Buckley
FF - Medhurst, A.Rocca, Rusling
Foll - Fraser, O'Bree, Pendles

Int - Licka, Burns, R.Shaw, O'Brien

with Didak & Holland hopefully having to force their way into a winning team!!

Close. Not bad.

Cant see T Cloke in defence, not full time anyway. Our key defenders will be Presti and Maxwell/Wakelin (depending upon matchups)
O'Bree is our best contested ball winner. As much as some around here dislike him, he'll be in our starting 22.
Thomas will be in the starting 18 ahead of Medhurst and Davis
Licuria on the bench with Burns.
Good to see Lockyer omitted.
