Best F/B & C/H/B for 2010


Still Waiting

Recommended Posts

Who are most likely to play the majority of games on F/F's and C/H/F's such as Riewoldt, Fev, Buddy, Kosi and generally the bigger fwds.

Have we got this settled yet, or is there good competition between Chip, Riv, Warnock, Garland etc?

I reckon this area is vital for our improvement in 2010.

Thoughts?

Vital to our improvement?

They're already good.

The midfield to stop being crap.

Now that might get us some improvement.

Posted

Warnock and Frawley.

whos chip?

Frawley's been referred to as 'chip' because he is the nephew of Danny Frawley, who is known as 'Spud'.

Posted

Chip's a star. Will be nice to see him next year when he's allowed to towel up an opponent for 4 quarters, instead of 40 minutes before being interchanged/relocated so that scoring takes place :)

Warnock = FB

Rivers = CHB

Frawley/Garland = Can play on 3rd/4th talls or even dangerous smalls who are good overhead such as S. Johnson, Medhurst, Porplyzia etc.

I'm putting all my trust in Warnock for the next 12-24 months. He's really grown to a size where he can iron out some of the bigger, more imposing guys going round at the moment. After Matty, it's all about Chip, who has also somehow gotten massive over the space of only a couple of seasons. Garland, assuming he plays in defence, still has to get completely fit again before he's given 22 rounds on the big boys.

It's kind of exciting actually. If you look at how Warnock's career has grown, from a nothing promoted-rookie for the first few years of his career, to now being a good, solid defender with a big frame, it bodes well for every other player on the list.

If we give Dunn, Rivers, Frawley, Martin, Watts, Morton and all the other 190-192+ players that kind of time and faith, imagine what could happen? Some may not make it, but Warnock is certainly not the most gifted player going round. If he can do it, they can...

With the current players list, the beauty that DB has noe after experimenting is he has great flexibility. He can basically play personnel against personnell and not positional play.As stated earlier, the backline has got great candidates,it is the midfield that needs player improvement. With the real chance of grabbing a couple of extremely good midfielders this will help enormously.

Warnock FB. Lock it in.

Frawley CHB. Improved beyond many peoples' expecations this year. Should be capable given his promising efforts on Fev and Riewoldt late this year.

That leaves Rivers and Garland to play on the third tall or else maybe push up the ground a bit.

Martin will play ruck/forward I think.

And let's not rule out Lake or Gibson... ;)

Posted

Does FB and CHB, really exist anymore?

Its all about Forwards, Backs and Match ups.

Our Back line talls look well equipt to take on the best the AFL can offer up with

Warnock, Rivers, Frawley, Garland and swing man Martin.

Our younger players is where we will improve alot.

Garland was a very exciting prospect before getting injured. Didn't he keep Buddy Goaless in one game? or he didn't kick many. So it will good to get him into the side, either as a Backman or if they decide to throw him forward.

Frawley is looking polished and will become a standout next year.

Rivers can't play KPB. Not quick enough, and he is best as the loose man.

Frawley and Warnock will take CHF and FF.

I still think Chip Frawley will eventually be our full back on the fast leading Full Forwards. His speed off the mark is the thing thats handy, & also I think his awkward kicking style limits his damaging ability up field.

I think Warnock can also play numerous roles in defence, but next to Frawley, in the pocket is where I think he can be if there is a matchup for him there. Also CHB &/or pinch hit up forward.

IMO the CHB position is where we need to find a real class act, tall running athletic who has great disposal skills. (I wish I could get Daniel Talia)

Rivers is an everywhere defender, playing loose in defence, helps out, but hasn't made a place his own.

Posted

Frawley and Warnock are our Scarlett and Milburn.

for that matter...

Rivers to play the 3rd man up Harley role.

Garland and Morton to play the Mackie & Enright roles.

If only...

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
