[Ruse]

hehe yeah having LRT in there does make you think twice

 

[bzparkes]

hehe yeah having LRT in there does make you think twice

I still went for them anyway though. The others more than make up for MR unco..

 

[borgy]

The only reason i didnt go for the Dons is because they are older than Freo's mob.

 

[rgauci]

The only reason i went Freo ahead of Essendon is because Lloyd is yet to prove he'll come back from injury successfully. If he does, they take the cake.

 

[Muji]

I 2nd that rgauci

 

[wce4premiership]

Saints on pure potential.

Who? Maxy is old and so is Gehrig. They couldnt improve anymore.

Just for a comparison

Other clubs:

Brisbane: Merret, Bradshaw, Brown, Clark
Carlton: O'hAilpin, Whitnall, Waite, Fevola
Colingwood: Prestigiacomo, Clement, Cloke, Rocca
Richmond: Gaspar, Bowden, Richardson, Kingsley
Geelong: Scarlett, Egan, Ottens, Ablett
West Coast: Glass, Hunter, Hansen, Lynch
Western Bulldogs: Harris, Grant, McDougall, Robbins
Hawthorn: Dawson, Croad, Franklin, Williams
Port Adelaide: Wakelin, C.Cornes, Tredrea, Thurstans
Kangaroos: Hay, Petrie, Hale, Thompson

Just for a comparison

Other clubs:

Brisbane: Merret, Bradshaw, Brown, Clark
Carlton: O'hAilpin, Whitnall, Waite, Fevola
Colingwood: Prestigiacomo, Clement, Cloke, Rocca
Richmond: Gaspar, Polak, Richardson, Kingsley
Geelong: Scarlett, Egan, Ottens, Ablett
West Coast: Glass, Hunter, Hansen, Lynch
Western Bulldogs: Harris, Grant, McDougall, Robbins
Hawthorn: Dawson, Croad, Franklin, Williams
Port Adelaide: Wakelin, C.Cornes, Tredrea, Thurstans
Kangaroos: Hay, Petrie, Hale, Thompson

If the list is made on who is the best player in the position then it must be changed to:

Richmond: Gaspar, J. Bowden, Richardson, N. Brown

Brown is the best FF at the club, far better than someone who hasn't played a game for us yet. Polak hasn't played a game for us yet either, and although he is likely to play CHB most of 2007 for the time being Joel Bowden (who was the competition's best CHB in 2006) should be in our list because he is the best player we have in that position.

Compare that with Essendon's:

Lloyd > Brown
Richo > Lucas
Bowden > Fletcher (form of last 2 years)
Michael > Gaspar

Although I think Sydney's is the best, they are in form where as Fletcher and Michael are not (Lloyd has his injury and Lucas has a new forward structure to cope with).

You're right about Bowden but putting Brown at FF is absolute garbage. Brown is a HFF.

Fletcher is in great form you should try watching a game here and there,

Lucas has to deal with a new forward line??
you mean like the one he's been dealing with since he started? yeah you know your football

Lloyd has been out all year and Lucas played fantastic football. Now the whole dynamics of the Essendon forward line will return to how they used to be and Lucas will no longer be the focus and must move up the ground more. If he can sustain his goal kicking from 2006 then I would be very surprised and I think most people would agree that Lucas will have to change his game again.

You're right about Bowden but putting Brown at FF is absolute garbage. Brown is a HFF.

Nathan Brown has spent a lot of time playing FF, he did for Richmond and he spent even more time at FF for the Doggies.

I would think that would be the dogs spine.

Johnson isn't a key. And you can only have four as per the requirements of the thread.

 

[gandaal]

Nonsense. Just because your forward pocket is a better player than you're full forward doesn't mean that you can swap them and claim each plays the other position.

Brown actualy DID play FF and has played FF for a lot of his games.

But like Joel Bowden at CHB, he played there out of necessity most of the time and he is more effective on a HFF imo.

Is he a Key Position player?

No.

Freo > St Kilda > Sydney > Melbourne would be my top 4

 

[rick James]

Joel Bowden (who was the competition's best CHB in 2006)

Most would say Jared Rivers is a superior CHB to Joel Bowden, I know I wouldnt' trade Rivers for both Bowdens.

Robbins isnt our FF. Johnson was this year and Darcy will be from now on.

Its funny i tipped the bombers yet still believe they will finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

Key position players are highly overrated these days. In the 90s they were the most important players but modern football is all about the midfielders.
