Round 1, 2010

[The Chazz 4,077]

Not sure if this is too early, but I'm keen to give it a crack! Couple of things;

* Assume all listed players are fit. At this stage, we don't know if anyone wont be available for selection by round 1, so let's assume they are all ready to go.

* I am including Joel MacDonald, assuming he will be taken in the PSD.

* I didn't include rookies as I'm not 100% sure on the rules of picking them (ie do we need players on the long term injury list before they can play?).

* Had to put Jack Watts in the "new" group as I couldn't fit him in the "young bulls" group.

Good luck! Thank god I'm not a selector!!!

not sure aboutt blease however after missing so much footy. Might push Green into the middle, Petterd into a pocket and someone else - possibly MacDonald if we get him onto the bench.

I would have thought that Blease was even further behind Watts, with only just finishing school, having a broken leg and playing very little (if any) football at Casey.

[LITTLE STINGA 1]

I've already done this, shouldn't it be merged.

If McDonald is not captain he would not be in my best 22 as he will take a spot of a developing midfielder, but I think in all likelihood he will be.

I think this list includes 11 old bulls, 8 young bulls and 3 newies. That sounds like a good balance. There's a great article in 'The Age' today on Paul Roos. He says he won't play pick 6 Gary Rohan in 2010 because the gap between TAC and AFL is too big. He says the youngsters get shattered when they find out what it takes to be an AFL player.

That's why my only difference would be Wonna instead of Scully for round 1. We've got 8 guys on our list who have never played a game of AFL. DB made a big point about giving the kids time to develop so I think they will gradually introduce these new kids over the year. The exceptions will be Gawn and Fitzpatrick who wont be expected to play senior football till at least 2011.

Geese I love the look of that team!

The only change I would make would be to swap Blease with Aussie and chuck Tapscott as first emergency!

The thing I hate about making team sheets is all of the players that miss out: Maric, Jetta, Cheney, Dunn, Strauss etc

Rivers, Jetta, Bennell, Cheney and McNamara were unlucky not be selected.

I think Miller, PJ, Bell, Bartram and Dunn from the senior list and Meesen, Newton, Spencer and Hughes off the rookie list are all playing for their careers this year. Bail and Healey are probably outside chances to be delisted at years end but only if a few of these guys step up. I think we'll probably only see 3-5 delistings per year for the next 2 years.

And just to get you salivating I did a team of players under 22 at Rd 1 next year. Don't think any other teams could match it. Doubt many other teams would be able to make a full team of U/22's let alone complete with emergencies.

No trengove. Sack already?

[Tatu 416]

If your going to put Watts in the "new group", then you should also include Blease, Strauss, Bennell, Jetta, Bail and McNamara.........Mckenizie?

Jurrah aswell......

[barass 31 20]

There are a number of players already who are a bit "iffy" to be considered for Round 1. I consider those players to be amongst: Garland, Blease, Strauss, Wonna( due to injuries) Scully, Trengove. Gysbers( due to being raw recruits)

Of the newies I believe Tapscott may be the "bolter" due to his advanced physical development. My team therefore

I have concerns with Watts and Jurrah in key forward positions. Their bodies just aren't big or strong enough for this role at the moment. They'd get smashed, and Watts has indicated he wont fill this role for a while. I see Miller as a prefered option in the short term.

Another option here is Martin. I'd like to see the club give him one role, rather than moving him everywhere like last season.

That forward line is way too small/under-developed IMO. Watts can't hold down CHF atm. I assume you've decided Garland won't be fit.

[DeeSpencer 26,273]

That forward line is way too small/under-developed IMO. Watts can't hold down CHF atm. I assume you've decided Garland won't be fit.

Neither can Brad Miller, for different reasons. Sylvia, Bate and Green in particular have to fill the void at CHF between them whilst we wait for Watts to get stronger and Jurrah to get fitter and cover more ground. Petterd is also handy in that area. Trengove has strong hands and a good tank, the half forward line should be a nice place for him to start, in a similar role to Nev Jetta this year (who will also be pushing for a role around half forward or midfield).

I doubt we will have a St Kilda set up where Riewoldt does 80% of the work around half forward. I think we will be more like the bulldogs where they rotate 6 or more through CHF with Murphy and Johnson taking most of the work. Even Geelong deliver to Chapman out infront with precise foot skills as much as Mooney.
