NOTE: Mansfield not to get into the side was harsh, also I didn't know where to put Kouta so I just stuck him In the pocket. The Backline has a lot of experience which I think it needs right now.


C'mon guys....

Hmmm...

That's a decent side Steggie. Here's my line-up:

B: Franchina, Manton, Gallagher

HB: McKay, Christou, Beaumont

C: Camporeale, Ratten, Murphy

HF: Hickmott, Whitnall, Fevola

F: Houlihan, McKernan, Lappin

R: Allan, Koutoufides, Hulme

Inter: Bradley, Plunkett, Sporn, Merrington

Emg: Prendergast, Eccles, Hotton

If these players were on the park, and in decent form... I have no doubt that we'd be in the eight. Seeing as our injujried players are mainly midfielders (Hickmott being a forward/midfielder and Fevola being a decoy forward), it is obvious why we are struggling. Not enough decent possessions, and not enough delivery to the forward line. Defense is alright, but short... and the forward line should produce more goals, but is inaccurate. Confidence is mainly the problem with the forwards right now... and that needs to be fixed if we are ever to avoid the wooden spoon this year. Hopefully with the addition of Campo next week will give us some class in our midfield woes against the resurgent Hawks. But you can't rely on a few players to win the game for you, most of the team has to make a contribution is some shape or form in order to win games.

B: Gallagher Manton Christou
HB:McKay Beaumont Sporn
C: Camporeale Ratten Murphy
HF:Lappin Whitnall Hickmott
F: Houlihan McKernan Hulme

R: Allan Koutoufides Bradley

Int: Plunkett Hotton Fevola Franchina

Emer: Freeborn Merrington Livingston

Feel we need some crumbers on the forward line to take advantage of the number of inside 50's we get and at least turned spilled marks by Corey into something positive. Might do well to remember that the Blues have a problem getting the ball to ground in the forward line against big back lines so at least Corey is good in that way and is playing in front. Gallagher could be another forward crumbing option with Franchina heading to the backline, Hulme onto the ball and Bradley getting a spell or taking over from anyone else who is struggling. Would love to see Fevola tackle the half back line but who does he replace?

Steggie, you're not harsh on Mansfield at all, the rest of us don't even have him in our best 25!

 

[The Spornstar]

Gallagher Manton Christou
McKay Beaumont Sporn
Murphy Ratten Campo
Lappin Whitnall Bradley
Hickmott Fevola Houlihan

R: Allan Kouta Hulme

I/C: Wiggins, Livingston, Merrington, Plunkett.

Em: Thornton (yes, for the future - he will be our next key defender IMO and he isn't even on the senior list yet!), McKernan (if his form improves then he will get back in the side), Eccles, Hotton.

It's so nice having all these players to choose from.....

Makes me excited to see all of those players just named at the same time.

Especially if you have 2 Bradleys and 2 Fevolas. But I thought you could have squeezed Matty Lappin in?

Yes I saw that I had mucked up when doing my team - I intended to change it and then I just.....forgot. This is why I'm not coach of the CFC.
