My ideal 22 for 2011

Featured Replies

Posted

Was interested to know everyones best 22 for Melbourne this year.

Mine:

Maric Pettard Bennell

Jurrah Green Watts

Trengove Sylvia Scully

Grimes Warnock Rivers

Morton Frawley Macdonald

Foll: Jamar Davey Moloney

Int: Gysberts Jones Mckenzie. Sub: Gawn/Martin

Maric: Has earn't a spot in the 22

Pettard: Before he got injured, this is his spot for melbourne. He proved this last year (RE: Collingwood). Better than Dunn.

Bennell: Has no presence up back. Watch the Darwin game v Port. A goal kicker.

Green: Would like to see Brad back in a key role up forward. Our best goal kicker, the Saviour.

Watts: His presence running up the ground gives us options. Will only keep improving.

Trengove: Rotation on the ball.

Scully: Same as above.

Warnock: Still has a lifeline. Plays better when Chip is around.

Mckenzie: Needs Game time, will be an improver this year.

Gawn/Martin: Spence makes me norvous.

Hate leaving out:

Bate: Tries his guts out. Can kick goals.

Cook: Needs to earn his place.

Strauss: The hardest to leave out IMO.

Bartram, Nev, Bail, Tapscott, Garland and Wona = great depth.

Sorry forgot Macdonald.

Your Garland over Warnock is a fair call.

Gysberts though, I think other Jordie will be a good player by seasons end./

picking a team now is so hard...wait until round 3...by this time you will see the players that could be ready

B Rivers Frawley MacDonald

HB Grimes Garland Davey

C Scully Trengove Jones

HF Petterd Watts Dunn

F Green Jurrah Maric

Fol- Jamar, Sylvia, Moloney

Int- McKenzie, Bennell, Jetta. Sub- Howe

I think we'll take our chances with just the one ruckman first off, as Jamar is perfectly dominant like that. Dunn or Watts could do some relief rucking too.

I think it's good to have a first year player like Howe as a sub to give us energy on the bench, and i was tight keeping the likes of Bartram, Morton, Warnock, Tapscott and Gysberts out of the teeam. Wonaeamirri is still a little while off, especially with Maric preferred as the crumbing small forward for now. Bate only needed if Dunn drops out of form. If Robbie Campbell comes off rookie list he's in contention, and Max Gawn may be a chance


Dunn Pettard Bennell

Jurrah Green Watts

Trengove Sylvia Scully

Grimes Garland Rivers

Morton Frawley Macdonald

Foll: Jamar Davey Moloney

Int: Bail Jones McKenzie. Sub: Martin

IN: Bail, Garland, Dunn

OUT: Maric, Warnock, Gysberts

Very hard to do. I can see the best 22 being more like a revolving door. All the boys will need to put in on the track. Although Maric is not in my best 22, he deserves to play Round 1 after a strong pre-season.

If Dunn can pinch hit in the ruck, it could allow the Sub spot to be taken up by a midfielder.

In terms of structure and general play - I think if Mckenzie is out for a decent amount of time, we'll actually miss him more than anyone else.

 

B Grimes Frawley Tapscott

HB Morton Garland Davey

C Trengove Scully Bennell

HF Petterd Watts Green

F Jurrah Dunn Maric

Fol- Jamar Sylvia Moloney

Int- McKenzie, Jetta, Jones. Sub- Campbell

Edited by Range Rover

2 of 3 sides do not have Jetta. All 3 sides have Jones. Do I watch the same games as you people?

Always been a fan of Jones, but with the influx of potential quality midfielders; could find himself at Casey a lot more than he'd hope for.

Martin can play forward/back/ruck, albeit, without being dominant. Still, versatility is golden.

FB: Rivers Frawley Bartram

HB: Morton Garland Grimes

C: Trengove Moloney Davey

HF: Dunn Watts Sylvia

FF: Jurrah Green Pettard

F: Jamar Scully McKenzie

I/C: Maric, Bail, Jetta

Sub: Martin

Just interested why poster's are outing Jordan Gysberts. From what I saw last year the kid is going to be good. Decision making and work rate was awesome.

B Rivers Frawley MacDonald

HB Grimes Garland Davey

C Scully Trengove Gysberts

HF Petterd Watts Dunn

F Green Jurrah Maric

Fol- Jamar, Sylvia, Moloney

Int- McKenzie, Bennell, Jetta. Sub- Spencer

I need to add Bail and Howe somwhere.

FB: Garland, Frawley, Bartram

HB: MacDonald, Rivers, Grimes

C: Sylvia, McKenzie, Davey

HF: Watts, Dunn, Green

FF: Martin, Jurrah, Wonna

FOLL: Jamar, Moloney, Scully

INT: Jones, Petterd, Trengove

S/SUB: Morton

EMERG: Bate, Bail, Bennell

Morton's the ideal Super Sub with his ability to play anywhere and being a great height to play tall or smaller. Martin makes the team purely to play as 2nd ruck. IMO one of Martin, Newton or Fitzpatrick will have to play every week to cover this role.

Picking from: (Arbitrary 10 points for the best player in the category - other points relative to that player, '?' means not really known yet):

Based on where I think they play best - obviously some players could play under a number of categories.

Backs: (11)

Key position - Frawley (10) Garland (10) Rivers (6) Warnock (5) J MacDonald (5) T MacDonald (?)

Running backs - Grimes (10) Morton (8)

Small - Bennell (10) Bartram (10) Strauss (5)

Mids: (13)

Ruck - Jamar (10) Spencer (3) Campbell (?)

Hard ball getters - McKenzie (10) Sylvia (9) Moloney (9) Trengove (7) Jones (7)

Link up and delivery - Davey (10) Bail (8) Scully (7) Gysberts (5) Blease (?)

Forwards: (13)

Contested mark - Dunn (10) Watts (8) Martin (6) Cook (?)

Lead up - Green (10) Jurrah (10) Petterd (9) Bate (6) Howe (?)

Dangerous crumbers - Maric (10) Jetta (9) Wonna (8) Tapscott (?)

I'd pick the team based on: 1. Availability (obviously). 2. Backline match ups and the need to balance run, key position and coverage of small forwards.

Therefore the best 22 each week will depend on the opposition. Injury replacement will depend on the type of player lost and maintaining team balance.

Based on above - best generic team:

B: Bartram Frawley Bennell

HB: Grimes Garland Morton

C: Davey McKenzie Bail

HF: Green Watts Petterd

F: Maric Dunn Jurrah

Foll: Jamar Moloney Sylvia

Int: Scully Trengove Jetta

Sub: From Wonna Rivers Martin.


So working off our current injury list with no more injuries and taking into account pre-season form i feel the Round 1 team will look like this:

B: Bartram Warnock Rivers

HB: Grimes Garland Bennell

C: Trengove Moloney Davey

HF: Dunn Watts Petterd

F: Jurrah Green Maric

Fol: Jamar Sylvia Scully

Int: Jones Bail Jetta

Sub: Spencer (as much as i think he is useless)

Eme: Tapscott Gysberts Martin

With a completely full and fit list to choose from and using each players most recent form the side would look like this:

B: Bartram Frawley Rivers

HB: Grimes Garland Bennell

C: Morton McKenzie Davey

HF: Dunn Watts Petterd

F: Jurrah Green Maric

Fol: Jamar Sylvia Scully

Int: Jones Moloney Trengove

Sub: Spencer

Eme: Bail Tapscott Martin

Others close: Jetta Gysberts Martin Wona

Is it just me, or is Wonna looking like he might struggle to get back in?

Think about it. Smaller goal sneak players have popped up such as Jetta, Maric and Bennell. On top of that Wonna has had some personal hardships to deal with which has hurt his preseason.

I think Wonna has a massive hill to climb, and the players ahead of him are becoming valuable to the 22 on a more consistent basis.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
