Strategy Wingers

[mike123]

Who are the best wingers on our team?

Currently I'm seeing mainly Steele Sidebottom and Heritier Lumumba start on the wings. I think Lumumba should rotate with Armstrong on the one wind and Sidebottom rotate with Broomhead on the other.

 

[Captivating]

The man formerly known as Harry seems like a good whinger.

Lumumba and Steele on the wings. Allows them to rotate into the midfield.

I want Seedsman on the wing next year rather than the defence, after this pre season (hopefully uninterrupted) he should have the tank for it. His kicking inside 50 is fantastic when he's in form and I don't think we saw him at his best this year because of his hip operation this year which took him out for a fair while. I'm not a big fan of Lumumba and I honestly think 2015 will be his final year at the club, I would love to be proven wrong but his decision making skills aren't great, his long kicks seem to float for too long and he doesn't kick enough goals on from the wing. I just don't see him improving those things at the age of 28 (next year).

Sidebottom and Seedsman.

Forgot about Seedsman

I thought this might have been a misspelt thread on whingers

Sidebottom and Seedsman.

Although having said that, I'd love to see Freeman and Seeds on the wing and Sidey on the half forward flank, roaming up and down the wing and crumbing the ball off our big fellas.
Sidebottoms dinky little 30mtr kicks on both his left and right, combined with his footy smarts would be huge to our forward half problems atm.

Freeman and Broomhead.....but in 2015

Why is whingers spelt with a h when every other word like wing and wingman aren't?

I'd rather Freeman on the ball bursting out of the stoppages

Adams gets the hard ball, hands it to Pendles who sidesteps a couple, goes wide to the run of Freeman, who hits Cloke lace out on the lead.

Sidebottom is our best winger by a mile, need another of him.

Seedsman i hope becomes a regular on the midfield next season.

Karnezis is another option, but he could also be an onballer.

Freeman could be, but he was an inside mid at u/18 level.

Broomhead is another great option.

We need to move Lumumba and Young on.

Is Freeman a good kick?

 

[Robroy22]

Sidey's also our best goal kicking crumber too and has minutes in the midfield. I agree his endurance makes him a top winger but Freeman has a quality beep test too. Broomy is just a better version of Sidey....he'd love the freedom of a wing for a year or two before heading inside our midfield.

 

[Old Spice]

Be interested to see where Broomhead ends up. Can see him giving us some line breaking form defence but also on the wing. I'd be interested to see what Karnezis can do on the wing.

 

[rustyg70]

Is Freeman a good kick?

Can't be any worse than Lumumba atm.

 

[Jonno94]

We need better outside receivers in general, trade for O'Rourke at years end.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Sidebottom and Broomhead. Freeman hopefully to establish himself there next year.

If Broomhead turns out to be 80% of the player Sidebottom is, he will have been an excellent pick up.

He was pick number 2 in the 2012 draft so he will not come cheap, there are probably better players around who would cost us less.

 

[ThisIsJake]

Clinton Young has quality in him, He'll pull through this rough patch and be a serviceable winger for us.

A rotation of Young, Seedsman, Sidey, Karnezis, Broomy and Freeman.

I want Lumumba back into the back line, make him accountable. He's a proven defender who is capable of making some very good forwards have to defend and worry about his offensive drive out of the defensive 50.

Young, Seedsman rotate through the backline.
Karnezis, Broomy rotate through the forwardline.
Sidey, Freeman rotate through the centre square.

he may end up on the wing for port adelaide...

 

[Brad Goodman]

Would like to see Broomhead as a wingman rather than Sidebottom. Much pacier.

 

[Jonno94]

won't happen

Tell us more, drafted hawk.
