Trisul 674 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 No Garland in best 22? Was my first thought too. Was about to mark it down injury consideration then saw Wona in the team.
stranga 328 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 I reckon Petterd is in our best 22 now given his current form. Will be hard for Newton to have a big year from the rookie list, unless they mean for Casey.

Deeoldfart 8,199 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 agree, PJ at Full Forward is an absolute doozy. a case can be made for naming Grimes on the interchange too. Definitely not much thought gone into that prediction ... maybe its our most experienced team but a fair stretch from our best, especially in the light of statements about a youth lead revival. None of Garland, Bennell, Jetta, Cheney or the '09 draftees definitely make you wonder!

Bartram over Bennell/Cheney? Whoever wrote that for The Age has no idea. The Age... what a joke, I expect better from them. Bartram? PJ? Dunn? Where are Scully and Trengove? What about Stef? Bennell? Of course the forward line won't have any firepower when PJ is down there you fools. Scully and Trengove are "ready-made players" apparently, but yet they can't get a gig. Poor. The AFL.com one was pretty accurate, however.
RalphiusMaximus 6,112 Posted March 9, 2010 Posted March 9, 2010 Anyone else notice thet the Age's "Star Five" are just our four most experienced players + Bate? No Grimes, no Sylvia. No thought really. A oretty pathetic effort from what is usually a reliable paper.

No thought really. A oretty pathetic effort from what is usually a reliable paper. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that. No surprise that there's no mention of who the author was. Whoever wrote it wouldn't want to have their name put next to it.

Morton and Jurrah?! So 2 from our best 22 isn't in too bad shape to go into round 1 with?!
titan_uranus 25,252 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 PJ should play CHF. That is where he started his career. No he shouldn't. Been there, hasn't worked, isn't the future.

Bartram over Bennell/Cheney? Whoever wrote that for The Age has no idea. If we could get either of those teams onto the park, there is clearly enough experience there line by line to be competitive - plenty of 3+ years . Would like to see more bullishness about our chances. The youth argument doesn't wash with these line-ups - every team has some inexperience.

Just another nameless journo that posts under the pseudonym AAP who has APDNFI PS For those unaware AAP is a news service that sends the same story to many outlets PPS APDNFI Absolutely Postively Definately No ... Idea

mauriesy 7,443 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Another summation of our situation leading into the season ... Can't find much to argue with that. At least he wasn't suckered into picking a "best 22". I'm hoping Maric has a break-out year too.

I'd love to think so, but it would be a huge step up! Re: Lynden Dunn "has a bit of mongrel about him. Perhaps too much". .......Is that the Lynden Dunn who plays for Melbourne? Not from where I sit!
