Burns on the bench, are you ********tin' me?

 

[jefffff34]

Morrison HBF???????????

 

[tarrant]

S.Burns is a dead set gun...but he is ageing.......who will you take out.....(t.davidson will be a gun..!)

 

[tarrant]

thats where he will play..HBF...as we have too many midfielders infront of him

 

[Jubair]

Ya make sure to not put him (caracello) in the midfield, he wont do the hard work but he will be great on the receiving end of a handball though. I think u should out Burns back out on the field instead if the bench, he will need Burns's hardness around the clinches.

Not a bad side is it? I reckon we would have won more than 8 games with that side.

I think the best way to judge a team (on paper at least) is to pick the worst from each line.

IMO they are;

B. R.Cole
HB. C.Morrison
C. R.Lonie
HF. B.Holland
F. B.Caracella
Foll. G.Richards
INT. J.Rowe

Now of the above, 4 are very good players (Cole, Chad, Lones and Blake), 1 is a solid contributor (Dutch) and 2 are young guns with a huge future (Stretch and Jules).

Amazing what 2 good players will do to a side, isn't it?

* Don't forget our No.10 pick - hopefully he'll push for selection too.

 

[pieman1]

This is more like it,
Backs MAXWELL PRESTIGIACOMO JOHNSON
HB CLEMENT WAKELIN COLE
C LOCKYER BUCKLEY WOEWODIN
HF BURNS ROCCA CARACELLA
For FRASER TARRANT DIDAK
Rucks RICHARDS HOLLAND LICURIA
Burns, Didak, and Fraser to all rotate through the middle. The back six to stay as is, with C.Morrison, J.Cloke, and Tex as backup. Cam Cloke to spell Richards in the ruck and spend time up forward. The bench to be made up of any combination that doesn't include Andrew Williams. Bring on 2005 we're ready baby!

Leon Davis should be ahead of maxwell

 

[jefffff34]

Apologies, I thought you meant Bill Morrison on the hbf.

 

[ThatThis]

Leonmagic had it pretty spot on... Id make some minor changes.
Brodie wont play forward, thatll be leon. He play off the bench for tagging roles. Rowe will be an emergency, and Fraser will play up the ground.
Expect Davidson to be in that side if he is fully fit. Id say He and Cam will fight for that spot. Its funny how the addition of 2 senior players, makes a senior spot so much more competitive.

Not a chance, Maxwell's the only real defender on the bench, and he's got the added versatility of being able to play tall or small. He's definitely going to be in there. Rowe could use another year spent putting on a bit of muscle anyway...

We have a winner.

 

[jefffff34]

I'd love to see Jules Rowe in there round 1 2005.

He probably will be anyway, someone will get injured.

 

[Lockyer24]

B: Caracella, L Davis, Tarrant
HB: Williams, O'Bree, Burns
C: A Rocca, Betheras (c), Richards
HF: Malthouse, Didak, Woewodin
F: Shaw, Shaw, Shaw
Foll: Lockyer, Clement, Fraser
Inter: Cloke, Cloke, Cloke, Buckley
Coach: Eddie

I think we should wait til Round 1 before picking a team

 

[GreekLunatic]

lets get caracella first then add him to our side

 

[jefffff34]

Good centreline Locks.

 

[leonmagic]

Good centreline Locks.

I was waiting for you to comment on that one..

 

[Jabso]

Haha. Another best 22 thread.
2005 presuming no 2005 draftees are regulars and we get the Orange Vegetable Retailer.
B: Johnson, Prestigiacomo, Clement (VC)
HB: C.Morrison, Wakelin, Cole
C: Woewodin, Burns, Lockyer
HF: Buckley (C), Tarrant, C.Cloke
F: Caracella, Rocca (VC), Davis
Fo: Fraser, Licuria, Didak
Int: Richards, Holland, Maxwell, Lonie

EMG (A.K.A Top 6 for selection rotations): J.Cloke, Davidson, Rowe, B.Shaw, Walker, O'Bree

The Changes:
Tarrant to CHF, Rocca to FF: I think this is worth a try. Rocca has the tools to play FF and Tarrant can be a dominant CHF. We just need to get Taz to run to the right spots more often. I see him playing a Treadrae role. He will still be able to lead up the ground alot.

C.Cloke in the starting 18: We need a solid 3rd tall forward who stretches the defence. Fraser can do this but I like him in the ruck more. C.Cloke can be that bullocking forward that Molloy was so well in 2001. He can always be swapped with Davidson if his form drops off.

J.Cloke out of the side: This is basically because I want Maxwell in the team. Maxwell is more flexible as he can play on a variety of opponents. Don't get me wrong J.Cloke should get around 16 games.

Didak in the midfield: Self explanatory. To accomodate this one of Buckley or Burns will move to backline or forward line. Also the exclusion of O'Bree helps.

From this team Rocca and Tarrant would have to swap. Tarrant would end up at half-back if he started from CHF. Holland would go to the foward pocket, Didak on the ball, Lonie onto the wing, Leon to the bench. You've completely forgotten about Jimmy Morrison. He would be a certain starter, as would Rowe I would think. It always looks a better side on paper for some reason. There's no doubt that our ful list is much better than 8 wins.

No I like Holland as our number 1 tagger and don't think he offers much as a forward. It's arlight to name him there but he won't play most of the year in the forward line.
Yes I forgot The Chad. It's hard to fit everyone you want in the side. I'll edit it.
