Your R1 Team to Meet the Blooz

[Ramps]

For mine the team should be:

Mitchell Farmer     Luke McGuane     Will Thursfield
Chris Newman     David Gourdis     Kelvin Moore
Brett Deledio     Dustin Martin     Daniel Jackson
Jack Riewoldt     David Astbury     Mitch Morton
Troy Taylor     Ben Griffiths     Robin Nahas
Troy Simmonds     Ben Cousins     Trent Cotchin   
Tyrone Vickery     Ben Nason     Jayden Post    Richard Tambling   

[Judge Roughneck]

Tuck or Foley -> Nason

Moore was average. Would rather Connors/Webberly/Roberts/Taylor/Astbury at this stage

Ok Webberley for Moore lol.

Promoting Gou from the rookie list Ramps?

Gutsy move, and some may say a little premature given that he is yet to produce consistency at VFL level.

I would use Newy as another mid so Moore off the bench to HBF when Newy in the midfield.

No Fev to monster our full-backs this time around.

Taking a chance with Griffiths at FF straight up but the only other choice is either move Postie forward which isn't what Hardwick had planned or stick with Polly who is too slow.

Having said all that I still have a feeling Hislop will get a go up forward because he had 4 shots at goal despite missing them all   and he applies some forward line defensive pressure along with Nahas. Just a fact we can't replace most of the side and add size and experience in one summer.

FF: Nahas Griffiths Reiwoldt
FOLL: Graham Deledio Martin
INT: Vickery Jackson Foley Thursfield

That's a pretty exciting team with no weak links at all. Just need to get a few games into them

Would change Edwards for Connors, Farmer for Thursfield and Collins for Cousins. Also Graham for Simmonds, put Gourdis on the bench and put Moore in, gee lets just hope they are all fit because it's hard to get everyone in isn't it??

I'd prefer edwards over connors. I still don't trust connors with his cockiness lol and his pulling out of contests. Would love Cousins experience in our young forward line and Collins can run around on the wing. Think Simmo will struggle now that he hasn't really trained for 2 months. We need to balance our defence with talls and smalls. I could easily swap Thursty with Gourdis in the starting lineup 

[WA Tiger]

Don't you think you have gone a bit small down there with Farmer and Edwards though when they will have Waite, Kruz, Fevs replacement, fisher...... all talls.

[the claw]

sheesh im addicted to these team threads.

few changes for me my core 25 30 players  has been basically the same since the end of the draft.

B/     Farmer     Thursfield     Moore/Gourdis/Grimes.

HB/   Tambling       Post        Webberley/Dea/Connors

C/    Collins       Martin         Newman

HF/   Cotchin     Riewoldt      Astbury/Taylor

F/     Morton      Griffiths      Nahas/Roberts.

R/     Simmonds   Deledio      Cousins/Foley.

Int/  2nd ruckman take your pick.  jackson, (thomson/tuck) edwards.
yep thats the thirty. perhaps contin who i think already will give more than thomson or tuck.

i can without flinching draw a line thru graham, hislop, king, mcguane, mcmahon, polak, polo, tuck, white, thats ten without blinking apart from hislop ive been calling for the other heads for yrs.

i have grave concerns over connors, edwards, jackson,  moore, rance, thomson, thursfield,gourdis, nahas,   sheesh thats another 9 and you can bet a reasonable percentage wont make it. with all imo we should be aiming to do better long term.so in the short term they can provide a srevice long term they have to go.

i havent mentioned rookies or newbies  but we can be sure there will be a percentage that dont make it.

sheesh the work to be done is enormous we  havent even bottomed out yet.

[WA Tiger]

Hey Claw, love your enthusiasm but who will play round one mate that is the thread, I would love to see some of the players you have
mentioned but unless Griffiths comes on and is 100% fit in another 5 weeks I can't see him playing. Grimes, Webberley, Taylor, Roberts and Dea IMO would also be unfit or not match prepared for round one, well maybe not Taylor.

Gee willickers Batman.

HUGE ask for Griffiths who is coming back from injury and hasn't played a game yet. You must all be going on gut feel. Hope your gut feel is correct and I hope we don't break the boy.

Amazing how fast Polak has disappeared from calculations.

well RROFO, Polak was not our worst on Saturday Night. he kept chasing/pressure everytime the ball was in our fifty.

clearly Hardwick has told him, you do this and that, you will get a chance to play.

Polak did not get much of an opportunity on Saturday Night, not many inside fifties and our forward structure is still non-existent.

i don't think he will be promoted onto the senior list, that is why Griffiths (if fit) will play.

if not, i will think of somebody else!
