Batchelor Grimes Moore
Deledio Astbury Newman
Houli Martin Cotchin
Grigg Derrickx Morton
King Riewoldt Tuck
Graham Jackson Foley
McGuane Conners Griffiths
Conca (s)
Liked Batchelors first up effort and looks like a player
Houli and Grigg will play otherwise whats the point of having recruited them
Liked Derrickx can take a grab put him up forward resting in a pocket or at CHF
McGuane in to h ave a backup for Grimes who I like as a player
Griffiths would be doubtful due to injury but wouldnt mind seeing him play
Conca as the sub providing midfield run.
Edwards misses out at this stage but will probably play.
The rest are just the usuals
Anyway, Itll be interesting to see whats peoples early line up predictions for R1.
-
Too early man. I liked the Glovemans game against Collingwood and Carltank
-
Newman Thursfield Astbury
Moore Deledio Conners
Morton Jackson Tuck/Grigg
White Riewoldt Foley
King Griffiths Edwards
Graham Cotchin Martin
Farmer/Nason Houli Conca(s) Derickx
I tried to pick the same team that beat Sydney last year.(which I regard as our best win since 2001) I had to find replacements for Tambling,Collins and Cousins.Foley and Morton pick themselves.I dropped Vickery for Derickx.

FF: Derickx Riewoldt Taylor
Int: Grigg Jackson Conca Sub: Tuck
Is there bragging rights for the person closest to correct? ;)

We really shouldn't be playing Tuck or Jackson. They are depth players. With the team below we can have a starting centre square of:
cotchin, martin and foley(all out attacking 3)
and a rotating midfield of:
deledio morton and grigg(grigg a defensive type midfielder)
and occasional stints by:
conca, houli etc
Dangerous midfield who will trouble any team.
Anyway, here's my Round 1 team:
FB: connors mcguane newman
HB: batchelor astbury deledio
C: edwards cotchin conca
HF: houli post morton
FF: taylor reiwoldt griffiths
FOLL: graham foley martin
INT: derickx grigg rance webberley
If Macdonald or helbig can get a game Round 1 as a midsized forward then that will balance our forward line out nicely
-
LMAO @ playing some of those dudes over Moore, Ranga and Tuck.
McGuane has to out perform the Gloveman to get a game.

If we want to move forward we shouldn't play Tuck or Jacko. Think we can do better than Moore as 3rd tall or 3rd small defender also

The coach obviously disagrees.

Do we have a better tagger than Daniel Jackson at the moment ? Do we still need his "bigger body" in the midfield ?
Do we gift Batchelor a game in round 1 ?
Can we afford to take 3 first gamers into rd 1 ? (Conca/Batchelor/Derickx) ?
Is selecting a team that is capable of winning rd 1 more important than the "big picture" ?

I'm with you, Miller will get his chance straight up, Griff will be put in cotton wool till he is 100%
-
This would be my team Round 1:
Newman McGuane Batchelor
Grigg Moore Connors
Houli Cotchin Conca
Morton Griffiths (Post) Deledio
Taylor Riewoldt Astbury
Derickx Foley Martin
Graham Grimes Jackson
Tuck (s)
That's right!
Conca, Batchelor and Derickx play their first match!
Grimes has talent and should be playing ASAP! Throw him in the deep end!
Deledio to play half forward in 2011 and become that Mark Mercuri, Paul Champon and Steve Johnson!
Astbury to play the second tall deep!
-

Knew there was somebody I forgot, Miller will definetly start, Griff or post out, depends on how the shoulder is progressing with Griff, If deemed ok, he will play... Same with Jackson I left Jackson out because he is having some problems with his hammy injury, Don't think he will come up by round 1 otherwise he is another that will definetly start, probably ahead of Nason.

Post is too gay to play rd 1

Assumptions: Griffiths wont be ready by round 1, Jackson wont have played enough praccy games and wont be risked, Kingy is suspended ;D, and we will go with a pretty experienced side. If Graham doesn't come up BrownE will play

Think this would be the team, its not the team I want to see but its close (Read Grififths not Miller and a couple of others)
Only one overall different to WP.

If I thought Griffiths' was going to be ready for round 1 I'd have gone for him over Miller in a heartbeat

Won't play Round 1 but:
Possibly in best 22: Griffiths, Conca, Taylor, King
Can make a difference if they develop as hoped: Vickery, Post, Grimes, Browne, Helbig, McDonald
Fingers crossed roughies might make it: Westhoff, Webberley, O'Reilly, Gourdis

Cotch to go head to head with Judd- not tagging
Only one of our ruckmen on the ground at any one time
Lids to rotate the midfield
Morton to rotate through midfield as with Conca
Edwards and Conners to be really attacking forward of centre but MUST work back as well

Using bigtone best 22 as a template.
Coburg side in the early rounds could looks something like (suspension, injury, coburg listed players aside)
Moore. Thursfield. Grimes.
ORielly. Rance. Batchelor.
Webberly. Helbig. Dea/Hicks.
Nason. Post. Miller.
King. Vickery. Macdonald.
Browne. Jackson. Contin.
Jacobi. Nahas. Hislop. Westhoff

Better than last year, where we sometimes had 0 ruckmen on the ground.

If vickery can continue kixkig bags he might not get a chance to okay muzch at coburg.
Long term to have vickery & griffiths in tw forward line, both at a good size at 2m tall they might be hard to match up on. More so when you throw in te Colman medalist as the 3rd tall forward
-
With Farmer injured it now looks like Batchelor will definitelymake his debut in round 1 in a back pocket.
The FB possie is still a prob. Lukey will probably get first crack. We don't really have a speedy small defender to go with a Betts, Gartlett or Yarran. If Henderson and Kreuzer are both out maybe we could get away with Moore at FB and then Connors in a BP :-\.

Lucky for us jamieson out also for that high Bump. Dont rate him but he is another presti from the Pies, in that he always does his job.
Lets hope Jack has a field with their lack of talls.

assuming farmer is injured moore is injured and king suspended. also to the best of my knowledge based on preseason form.

I forgot Kingy is going to miss round 1 through suspension. With Taylor hurting his calf today, Nason (coming back from inj?) our non-key forward options are becoming limited :-\

The old fashion positional names are pretty meaningless these days except for the KPPs. A flanker nowdays is known as an outside mid which is what Houli is.
-
Haha no they're not. I'm sure Max Rooke, Mitch Hahn, Tom Logan, Kingy, Matt Thomas etc would all like being called outside midfielders ;D ;)

Ill give it ago for round 1
Grigg Gourdis McGuane
Newey Astbury Lids
Edwards Martin Conners
Houli Griffiths Conca
Morton Riewoldt Taylor
Foll- Graham Cotchin Foley

Edwards and Conners to be really attacking forward of centre but MUST work back as well
Riewoldt to play where he won a Colmen medal
King straight back in when available as that small defending forward (Conca to have a go round 1)
After all the practice games ill make a few changes for my team for round one
Grigg Rance Moore
Newey Astbury Batchelor
Conners Lids Martin
Houli Vickory Conca
Morton Riewoldt Taylor
Foll- Derickx Foley Cotch
Int- Post Edwards Helbig/Contin
Sub- White
Graham goes out, Post in to pinch hit in the ruck as well as gives us the option for him to play forward in a rotation with Derickx and Vickory. But only one of them in the forward line at the same time because without King playing we will be pretty slow in there.
Batchelor in for an outstanding pre-season. Releases Lids into the midfield.
Lids into the middle, we need our best ball uses where the ball is (we forget he won 2 B&F's on the ball) and now with better players in there he will even get better.
Derickx first ruck, cannot be any worse than the way Graham has gone this pre-season.
Moore in for a bit experience.
McGuane out, needs to find some form in the two's
Edwards to the bench, needs to show a bit of last years form before he starts on the ground.
Farmer out due to injury.
And Gourdis out due to not playing the last few practice games.
Rance in to play on Waite all night.
Helbig or Contin in - my gut feel is Contin, showed me he had poise and a good kick in the first games against Carlton and Collingwood.
White as the sub to come on to use his pace in the second half. Carlton has run us our feet in the last couple of years.
Picked a side that should be able to run all night.

Wheres the irishman by the way. Jamie O'Reilly wheres he been lately? Anyone know?

drinking Guiness probably :cheers

reason?

I was thinking same thing, I really thought we would have seen him in a few scratch matches considering the promise he showed earlier on
-
Bump, mainly because I was trying to figure out who missed out with the few surpises in the names R1 team.
Unfortunaly I have had a few drinks tonight so will leave it to the morning to see how far off I was off with the team. I dont think many of us had Nahas in the team.
-
Probably not but when you consider the amount of ball he's got in the preseason its not that surprising
