What's our best 22 now?

[big tone]

Grimes  Rance  Vlastuin
C. Ellis  Chaplin  McIntosh
Menadue  Martin  Edwards
Lids  Vickery  Yarran
Lambert  Jack  Lennon

Maric  Cotch  Miles

Ellis  Castagna  Houli  McBean

With a centre line and HFL consisting of Menadue, Edwards, Lids and Yarran we have a real weapon with pace.

Lennon at 188cm needs to play the 3rd tall option as he is a fantastic mark and beatiful kick. He really needs to work on his fitness over the summer to be able to move around in our forwardline and present us with another leading forward to help Jack out.

I'd like to see McBean play every game during pre-season too, he need to be given game time as he could be the real difference to our forwardline if he can get a handle on the pace of the game. There is no reason why he cannot be our Jack Gunston.

Playing C. Ellis and McIntosh across half back with their bigger bodies makes us a lot stronger too. Ellis foot skills are a massive bonus there too.

Hopefully pick 12 is a big bodied mid that could take Houli's spot on the bench.

I'd like to see Morris given a chance as a tagger during the pre-season.

Hopefully Drummond and Buttler can get to AFL level and take Ellis position.

And lastly I think Elton should be given every opportunity as a KPB during pre-season as I think he has more upside than Astbury and Batchelor long term.

IMO it's time to find replacements for Grigg, Houli, Hunt and Chaplin.. Get games into some kids now and fast track their development as these other guys have taken us as far as they can.

[Yeahright]

Castagna a long way off. Honestly think he'll go down as a worse player than Morris.

[the claw]

You going to leave Maric to ruck all by himself?

no,

Vickery, Griffiths, McBean are all pinch hitting options 

Lol it really is hilarious. Pinch hitters who do absolutely nothing in the role. FFS if Mc bean was asked to pinch hit at afl level he would snap in two. Its one thing playing like an oversized fwd flanker an entirely different thing playing ruck which is something he hasnt been asked to do 
Vickery oh wow the bloke who poos his pants every single time he he competes at a centre bounce down. I keep on telling you this bloke plays the role poo scared, open your freakin eyes up.
Ah ben the heart the size of a pea griffiths, and as fragile as a pane of glass in a hail storm.Yep one knock and its busted.
Why would you bother playing them in the role? Oh i see they are tall lol.

Did you read Claw's side

[Yeahright]

To be honest I don't take much notice of hit outs, unless you're a very dominant ruck then they are all pretty pointless. Vickerys work as a ruckman outside tapping the ball ain't too shabby.

In what way. What does he consistently do well in the role. I can think of only one thing he does well as either a fwd or a ruckman  he manages to kick one or two goals a game. An awful lot of em sodas that you would get.
In fairness kicking goals sodas or not  Its  a biggie, and it is the only thing that saves him as a player.In the main  and nearly every other area of the game hes been a lazy soft one way player  who would struggle at times to get a kick in a footy factory.

Ahhh the voice of reason and common sense. with a twist of irony and just a smidge of sarcasm.
By the way your little 3 and ten sentence  could well come true again next year.

Castagna a long way off. Honestly think he'll go down as a worse player than Morris.

He's far more creative, clever & attacking than Morris, not to mention quicker and a better tackler.....unfortunately his kicking is so utterly awful it's a liabilty and undoes everything else....it's a shame really....
