Could someone please post a best 22 for 2006 so we can see how great the changes have been over the last 3 to 4 years?

Thanks Billy,

Interesting eh! Only Bruce, Rivers, Green, Miller, Davey, Jones, McDonald, Bartram, Jamar, Bell and Sylvia left out of the 25 from that round.

And of those, Bruce, Miller, McDonald, Bell and maybe Bartram are probably on borrowed time.

Huge turnover, we've lost some serious talent and experience in Neitz, Yze, White, Robertson, Johnstone, Whelan et al.

Of those players left from that team, how many would expect to be playing in the team come round 21 next year?

It will be interesting to compare next year the round 1 teams from 2008 and 2010, both against Hawthorn, there will be a massive difference.

Bold = 8 players from that 2006 side that I would consider for my best 22 for the 2010 season.

(Out of the 11 that are still on for the 2010 list)

It will be interesting to compare next year the round 1 teams from 2008 and 2010, both against Hawthorn, there will be a massive difference.

This is the team from Round 1 2008:

B Paul Wheatley Nathan Carroll Colin Garland

HB Ricky Petterd Daniel Bell James McDonald

C Brad Green Brock McLean Simon Buckley

HF Cameron Bruce Brad Miller Adem Yze

F Michael Newton David Neitz Russell Robertson

Foll Jeff White Aaron Davey Nathan Jones

I/C Paul Johnson Brent Moloney Cale Morton Isaac Weetra

EMG Jace Bode James Frawley Mark Jamar

Wheatley, Carroll, McLean, Buckley, Yze, Neitz, Robertson, White, Weetra all gone. Bell, Miller, Newton all close to certain to not play. I also doubt PJ will play, and Petterd's got some competition for his spot. That's a lot of changes.

Wow, Neitz, Newton, Robbo and Yze all listed to play in the forwardline together. Now that's what I call 'frontal pressure'. Was Bailey "list managing" from the word go?
