I would say:
Newman Thursfeild McGaune
Polo Rance Moore
Thomson Coughlan Connors
Cousins Riewoldt Cotchin
Deledio Richo Brown
Simmonds Tuck Foley
Tambling Moton Post Patto
Bowden perhaps gets Posts spot. :(
* Hughes - not good enough
* Raines / White / Edwards - must learn to kick
* Jackson / Johnson / McMahon -> meh
-
cogs and cotch are yet to play :whistle
-
As much as I'm a fan, I'm not sure Connors deserves a starting spot based on this preseason either. Has he played in either of the NAB Cup matches? I don't think so.
Pretty slow midfield too
-
Just based on who played so leaving out Cotchin, Cogs, Patto, Connors, Putt, JON etc
B- Newman Thursfeild McGaune
HB- McMahon Rance Moore
C- Richo Jackson Deledio
HF- Cousins Riewoldt Tambling
F - Morton Hughes Brown
Foll -Simmonds, Tuck, Foley,
Int - White, Thomson, Post, GUS,
We need a key forward to step up and Hughes is the only option who even looks remotely playable in the position of those who have played to date. I think, of those who haven't played, Schulz should be given a chance in the position if Hughes does not show something very soon.
Rance should be given a spot in the backline over Raines. He is bigger, stronger, just as quick and has much better decision making and foot skills. He looked like a player of the future while Raines still seems the same one dimensional player as he ever was.
GUS looks good to me. He has added strength to his frame and is competing well in ruck contests. He still need to develop his ball use around the ground but I have been impressed to date. Patto may find it more difficult to keep his place as 2nd ruck place in the team but I still believe he is better around the ground than Gus at the moment.
I heard a lot of people both here and on talkback after the game putting down Tambling and White. I find this hard to believe. I went to the game last night and I felt that both played god games. They both made a couple of mistakes but at other times they were excellent. Both were fast and broke lines. Both were elusive and linked up well with teammates. Both were risk takers and took the opposition on. We should be encouraging these type of mistakes rather than belittling players over them. We we have a team to scared to make mistakes then we will never break through zones or challenge at any stage.
Jackson has really stepped up this year. He is going to be a great tagger for us given his speed, endurance and strength. He racked up the possession last week while all the while keeping his opponent quiet. He could be a better looking version of Ling for us! :shh

This is a difficult exercise, Id like to be leaving out the blokes who cant kick the footy properly alas we have quite a few and it becomes quite difficult. Players like Post probably need 12 months at Coburg likewise Tyrone Vickery as well. Rance has had his 12 months at Coburg and is ready for senior action. So with a view to R1 ...

I had Gus on the bench for a start, but thought Matty deserved a go. I forgot all about Raines as well.
-
White definitely deserves a spot ahead of Collins
Hope he comes on this year, but White is miles ahead of him

:lol picking teams out of half paced players now good one :rollin :rollin :rollin

It's just people having fun TM. It's not sheep stations.

So far based on Cotch, Cogs and Connors not playing. Still tough to come up with a final 22 at this stage.

Cotchin, Coughlan, Connors, Rance, Thomson, Polo, Nahas, Collins, Pattson, Hislop, Vickery
-> all in our best XXII? Losing to calton by 90 odd points says maybe yes?
maybe even Hughes? :o :-\

Apart from Cotchin and Rance and maybe Thompson NOPE not at this stage of their careers.
They would just be more fodder for the ferals.

Pattison, Hislop, Collins etc. are not due for a game?
Why not? we might lose by 90 points? :-\ :-\

Oops forgot to put Polo in there, definitely put him in there.
Pattison if he is OK, why not.
Collins if he is ready, I havent seen enough of him to know.
Hislop wasn't overly impressive on what I have seen, would leave that one to the match comittee.
-
Cotch, Cogs, Connors, Patto all coming back from injury. Thommo is in rehab too.
Nahas is a rookie so he can't be promoted unless there's a long term injury.
Vickery is too young. Needs time to develop at Coburg and bulk up. Although he couldn't have done any worse than Sarge as a forward last Thursday night.
That leaves Polo, Rance, Collins and Hislop to choose from out of Bent's list.
-
Well I still reckon Cogs is going to get a call up, lets face it he was on the emergency list for the Blues game and there were only three or four of them, Cogs, Collins, Polo and Rance. Rance will be in, Polo will be in and from what I have heard Cogs performed better than Collins on the weekend so........... :shh
