No spin here.
Hadley is in the side as a big bodied mid who can free up Judd and block for him.
Only injury has held Hadley back from fulfilling his potential.
Brown can play at both ends, but as a full back, I wouldn't swap him for Jamison who can keep pace with Fevola at training.
Jamison can play on talls and mediums like Medhurst and McKinley.
Better agility than Brown.
I overlooked a few of the Pies name players because we have similar players who can play their role in our side.
And for balance.
Pendlebury doesn't get a game because every side needs a quick ball carrier such as Simpson.
And we have Gibbs who is a better alround footballer than Pendlebury.
Yarran is a better talent than Thomas and can play that HFF/mid role in our 22.
Davis is a better player than Thomas and really stepped up this year...And Betts is a better crumber and forward pocket than Thomas.
Every side needs a Eddie Betts who can kick a goal from half a chance and snap it out of their behind...
Maxwell is a ****ing joke.
Fraser is obviously ahead of Hampson and Warnock, but is a pea heart.
Pass.
It's not like I picked Russell or Houlihan ahead of Thomas..
Murphy on the bench with Rusling and Wellingham with Swan starting?
And Clarke, Maxwell, Lockyer and O'Brien ahead of Grigg, Simpson, Bower and Thornton?
Who the hell is Wellingham?
Simpson slaughtered it in the International rules, but you're picking a rookie promotion ahead of Kade after one season.
Pathetic.
Bower ran off Cloke all day and beat him.
Both Clokes are glacial slow...
LOL! You're basing your argument on the international rules? My post was a joke. Yours was not. You actually believe the tripe that you post, you would actually pick Hadley ahead of guys like Pendlebury and Swan. It's absolutely laughable. I'd love to see a poll, Swan vs. Hadley.
Yarran over Thomas is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Actually, I'll start Sidebottom over Stevens, because he's a better "talent".
You base all of your arguments on the Carlton-Collingwood games, you talk about Bower beating Cloke. Big deal. Cloke has spanked some of the best defenders in the league. No forward can dominate when their midfield is getting destroyed, and the delivery is at local club level. Compare that to when our team is up and about, and Cloke dominates. You would probably pick Fisher ahead of him too.
And yes, Swan is better than Murphy. But starting one or the other on the bench doesn't indicate that, the bench is just an extension of the field these days.
Who the hell is Wellingham? More like who the hell is Grigg, or who the hell is Yarran?
Get a clue.
