What's our best 22 now?

[tony_montana]

I like it lamington - nice lineup. Backline looks solid. Would also have batchelor in the 22 ahead of petterd, would slot him in the backline and put Vlas in the guts on a wing and conca on the bench.

 Hoping lennon with a full preseason will step up and ahead of Gordon and petterd. Hoping Arnott can be an extra bash and crash midfielder to take pressure of Cotch and Miles and allow Martin to spend more time deep fwd. Hoping Conca can have a big preseason and step up to also assist adequately. Want to see Lids play High HF all season, think he can be a 30-40 goal HF.

Im saying the word hoping a lot

Same as it was last year.

f/ a  edwards  - riewoldt - vickery

int/ foley - ellis - helbig - pick 9 stringer. (Vlastuin)

depth nahas, houli, jackson, newman, king. arnott,

 

nothing much has changed from 2012.  that team was never good enough and the only new face i can think of is miles who  has done enough to be considered a good player.
3 yrs of stagnation. 3 yrs of locked and loaded.

[the claw]

our best 22 based on games and performance this yr.

b/ morris - astbury- chaplin
hb/ houli - rance - vlastuin

c/ ellis - martin - grigg
r maric - cotchin - miles

hf/ deledio - vickery - newman
ff/ edwards - riewoldt - griffiths.

int/ conca - foley - petterd - thomas.

it was a battle to find a dozen half decent consistently good players yet alone 22. this is the best 22. on every line at least one dud underperformer or questionable player.
our trouble when you look at whats in the wings well its down right laughable. they all fall uder the dud, underperforming, or questionable banner


me id like to see the following team knowing it will struggle a little and  given the hand we have. to improve many in this team will have to step up and force out the numerous duds.

b/   morris - astbury - chaplin/grimes
hb/ dea -  rance - mcintosh

c/ ellis - martin - pick 12.
r/ maric - cotchin - miles

hf/  deledio - griffiths - knights
ff/  lloyd - riewoldt - lennon.

int/ mcbean, vlastuin, conca, edwards.

[Yeahright]

r maric - cotchin - miles

on every line at least one dud underperformer or questionable player.

This line looks okay to me
Other than that I'd like Knights out of your second team and maybe an Arnot or McDonut or even a later pick from this draft (FJ special so unlikely  ) in.

No matter what 22 you pick I can always see at least 2, sometimes 3-4 blokes that I would love to F off and wouldn't be sentimental about at all.

It's always the proverbial weakest 6 that count as opposed to the strongest 6 blokes in the side. But these 2-4 blokes are just unacceptable.

Hoping to get 1 good kid every year in the draft is going to kill us. One at a time is too slow and will end with us sliding down the ladder. Get our first pick wrong and we're in real trouble IMO.


Need the improve this list dramatically and we've blown our chance to do that this year unless we pull a couple of gems out of the PSD again like Miles last year.

Should have traded/free agented in another 2 good players, then drafted another 2 and tried to get some depth through the PSD.


I'm tipping we miss the 8 next year.

[big tone]

My best 22.
Mostly done on form/talent but a few on hope...
I must admit I did have a few spots that just didn't fill themselves which tells me we are still a few short. Players like Houli, Grigg, Petterd, Thomas, Gordon should all be depth players pushing our best 22 but should only be getting games if we have injuries and can come in and play a roll.
The other guys on our list I just don't see making it, I hope I'm wrong on a few like Lloyd, McIntosh and McDonough but I'm not holding my breath.
Definately need a quick quick wingman, small forward and more outside run in the midfield. Hopefully pick 12 is one of those.
Imo our best 22 is pretty good but players like Newman and Foley need to be upgraded with better players but at the moment they are both in our best 22

Vickery, Griffiths and McBean hold the answers to us improving from a middle of the table side to a top 4 side. Our forward line is by far our weakest link. Need something special from one or all of those blokes to become a better side.

I would have been wrapped if we had of traded Conca for a pick in the teens to pick up something we lack as I mention. I just don't see him getting any better and still has currency but would not be missed at all.

[scjhammo]

Backs: morris Rance Astbury
HBACKS: Valstuin Chaplin Grimes
WING: Edwards Cotchin Ellis
HFORWARDS: Dids griff Dusty
Forwards: Gordon jack Conca
Ruck : Maric
RRover: Miles
Rover: ROBINSON ( we will pick him up in the draft with a late pick watch this space)
Inter from: Foley,Mcbean (Vickery), lennon, newman

I still worry about pace I cant find it anywhere specially of the backline  maybe pick 12 can be that hbf runner

[Chuck17]

Rover: ROBINSON ( we will pick him up in the draft with a late pick watch this space)

Good we always need new whipping boys and with his lack of discipline he will be a monty for it
