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?

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... ;)

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.

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.

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.

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
