Reading the interchange I went, picket, graham, stank... then re read it

 

[Walt Kowalski]

Grimes - Rance - Broad
Houli - Astbury - Vlaustin
Edwards - Prestia - Caddy
Castagna - Riewoldt - Lambert
Bolton - Lynch - Martin
Soldo - Pickett - Cotchin

Graham - Rioli - Stack - Nankervis

 

[AuntyBlindEye]

Every team posted thus far has been a damn fine looking team.

 

[Tigerballz]

Everyone's teams look great to me.

KPD's: Rance, Grimes, Astbury, Garth, Balta, Miller
D Mids: Houli, Vlas, Edwards, Short, Broad, Baker, Naish, D E Smith, Menadue
In/Out Mids: Prestia, Cotch, Martin, Graham,Lambert, Pickett, Stack, Caddy, Ross, Kmac, RCD,Turner, English
F Mids: Rioli, Bolton, Castagna,Higgins,Townsend, Markov, Aarts
KPF: Lynch, Riewoldt, Moore
Rucks: Soldo, Nank, CCJ, Chol

So...to squeeze a best 22 from there...
B Grimes, Rance, Astbury
HB Houli, Vlas, Edwards
C Stack, Pickett, Caddy
HF Lambert, Riewoldt, Rioli
F Castagna, Lynch, Martin
R Soldo, Prestia, Cotch
Int Nank,Broad, Graham, Bolton, Baker, Ross, Kmac

I would really like to see Pickett get a run of games early, to see what he can do.
He just looks like an old fashioned centerman to me...and he'll just accumulate and create without any fuss (based on 1 game)
And Stacky, well, he's just gotta play...i dont know where his best position is, he's just a natural footballer.

I'm just interested in what the tigers fans would like to see the line up look like come round 1 next year.

Let's say they trial it during the preseason and it all works, so feel free to put players where they might not normally be of you think it would work.

Mine would look like this:

I like it but when you look at it, it demonstrates how hard it will be to put a team on the park,

Short in the centre is interesting.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

WOW all I have to say is when your starting 22 players are all quality with others of the same ilk awaiting their turn...we are talking B2B here!

How can you not have Castagna. Was consistently better than Rioli last year and more a natural forward than Short. He would be ahead of Bolton as well at this stage. Would he not be the first small forward picked? Wasn't Rioli dropped last year while he maintained his place?

Castagna:


Rioli:


Bolton:


Bolton is the player on our list I am most excited about though.

i dont think rioli played vfl?

 

[Hoos]

i dont think rioli played vfl?

Did he play a game or two returning from injury?

 

[This Is Anfield]

Grimes, Astbury, Houli, Vlaustin, Broad, Rance, Baker, Short, Stack back six
Reiwoldt, Lynch, Rioli, Castagna forwards
Nank, Soldo rucks
Cotchin, Martin, Edwards, Prestia, Caddy, Pickett, Ross, Graham, Lambert, RCD, Higgins Mid/Fwds

**** it, we'll have to play 26!!

Not your team! It's mine.

you forgot Bolton

you forgot Bolton

I had him forward but was moving him to fwd/mid... now we have to play 27.
I guess we'll need the extra five to cover the loss of Brandon.

credit to whoever originally made that team with the cups in it - i agree with the 22 but it hurts my heart to not have Ross, Baker etc.

it was like playing a man short
