[Hugshawks]

Team B for me. Cox and Lade? Can't go past that.

 

[Dj Chriss]

I would say A, but swap fraser for sandilands

How about I asnwer like this?

FF: Team B
HF: Team B (just)
C: Team C
HB: Team A (just)
FB: Team A (just)
R: Team B (just)
IC: Team A (just)

Team A and B a draw although I voted for Team A.

 

[Monkeyboy]

B

Forward line far superior. Wheatley and Carrol weaken an otherwise solid backline.
Lade, Cox, Cousins and Hodge pretty strong.

A bit heavy on with crappy Melbourne players, but still my pick!

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Team A by a fair bit.

 

[Roundhouse]

Team C. Hands down.

What was the rationale for picking the teams in that way?

 

[Upgrayedd]

B fo shizzle

 

[Papa G]

B and C are close,

A wouldn't cut the mustard

 

[MiniKirk]

Good Poll

Team B for me

 

[Moss Rocket]

Goiod one. A is the weakest. I'd go B just over C

 

[Stylus]

B by a good margin.

 

[bzparkes]

B for me. Has very strong forward and backlines and looks really good down the spine too IMO. An experienced squad with a good mix of mature players and players in their prime. Certainly noone inexperienced anyway.

 

[natlovestheswans]

I'd definately go for B.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

C easily

White would start in ruck.
Gilbee would start instead of Raines.
Hayes would come in for Kane Cornes on the wing.
Chad Cornes would start at CHB.
You'd also try and get Jr. Burger into the midfield.
You would try and get Bassett on the third tall.

The only real question mark is injuries to Nathan Brown and Warren Tredrea and a balance because there is so really noted in and under player but the middfield talent is so amazing compared to the other teams, it would go unnoticed. Also a little bit lack of hardness. But talent wise, the best by far.

The small forwards would be ridiculously hard to match up on. They are all so hungry and eager for the ball.

None. Too many Richmond players.

Those who seriously don't think Team C is best is on another planet.

Team A: Cannot have Richo on the HFF - he wouldn't be as handy there. If you are going to play him out of the square, personally I think he goes best at wing - but perhaps not so much these days as he would have been two-three years ago. Fraser in the ruck is laughable.

Team B: When has Lloyd ever played on the HFF? Why the hell is Wheatley in the side, especially ahead of Johncock? Carroll and Hunter shouldn't be named in the same half back line - I'd personally have Hunter at CHB with a running HBF, not another key defender.

Team C has a proper and more natural mix of players. No top heavy forward line - you have the stand out big marking talls in Pavlich and Tredrea (who will have a better '07 than he did in '06), while a medium sized Ryan O'Keefe can lead, mark and goal very well - better than most. Didak, Chapman and Brown are proper goal crumbers, who can also lead strongly and take a good mark. Simmonds, Judd, Goodwin, Kerr, K. Cornes, Dal Santo - that does it for me. Awesome midfield.

I'd probably rank them C, B, A, although B and A are close and you could get mixed results in that game on any given day. Nine times out of ten Team C would be the victor against both B and A.

So who are the members responsible for these teams?
