I actually reckon that lineup may win us a game or 2 next year. We look so much more competetive with McLean and Davey.

Dunn, Moloney, Rivers and Martin could easily come up plus Petterd, Maric and Grimes are wating in the wings.

Injury will determine how many games we win next year.

If only you didn't mean that literally BBP.

Martin and Moloney would probably get a game before Bartram at the moment I'd think. Martin reads the play so well and seems to get to every contest. While in the middle, Moloney was finding some real touch I thought before his injury.

45 hotgood. agree there, moloney and martin were very good when they were in the side

bartram wouldn'tbe in there, and davey would swap with bate

^^^

Agree in that Bartram shouldn't be there. His skills generally were un-AFL like at times this year.

Although we need a negator or 2 in the side.

Bartram isn't best 22 IMO either but he played 21 games this year, hence his selection in the "Team of '08".

Obviously Bartram's skill level was poor at times this year.

He played 21 games, his disposal effiency was suprisingly 77%. Higher than Cale Morton, Brock McLean, Paul Wheatley & even Brad Green. Clint showed a good engine when assigned as a run-with player.

Good enough to be named back pocket in our team of 08.

Robbo at Full Forward? Goes to show we had a very difficult year as a club based on his form earlier this year. Missed half a season.

Oops.

I actually was referring to next years team. My bad.

Exactly.

There was really no other option. Did kick a few whilst he was playing though.

cos he hardly got the bloody ball thats why

He came 10th in our disposal count. I admit though, Clint didnt get huge amounts of the ball this season.

Just highlighting the obvious push towards youth I suppose. 9 changes.

It also highlights the 10 or so players that perhaps Bailey sees as the nucleus of the team going forward. Newton the only youthful player to go backwards from 2007. Moloney too although injured.
