FF- Davey - Clarke - Tapscott

FOL- Jamar - Viney - Grimes

int- Mckenzie - Wines - Jetta - Dunn

Better than the tigers.

[tonatopia 278]

Actually, a very composed and tough looking side, with lots of talent.

[cat attack 26]

Picking players who are not on our list yet....wishful thinking

[Ouch! 2,138]

you forgot to add Byrnes as the waterboy.... cos apparently we didn't get him to play footy

I'm running with Pederson and Ray arrvijng sometime this week.

The first thing you notice is how much bigger and more imposing the side will look. This is not a team that will be pushed aside easily.

All that's lacking is a little line-breaking and forward crumbing class. Hopefully Barry can show something here and maybe we can even unearth something in the draft.

Davey, Tapscott, Jetta, Bail, Bennel, Pettered.

[Moonshadow 16,610]

Why haven't you got Tippett in there? Not good enough?

[Guest Hulkamania]

Davey, Tapscott, Jetta, Bail, Bennel, Pettered.

Davey - past it

Tapscott - Hold high hopes but he's definitely not a speedster

Jetta - Not quick, not a natural goalkicker

Bail - Battler

Petterd - Probable delisting

Bennell - Bennell

[Mallee Bull 97]

Byrnes anyone?

[Disco Demons 92]

We just have so many players that haven't developed.

Nicholson has pace but no class. Strauss is a better footballer.

Davey will have a comeback year. Has been a super classy player.

It does look like a good team, but I think your Backline is far too tall, even though Garland can play small I don't see Frawley, TMac, Watts, Garland and Pedersen all in the backline at once, its a bit top heavy, plus I think Pedersen would far more likely be playing forward. Here;s my suggestion.

Assuming we get the wishlist in Pedersen and Ray (which is unfortunately looking increasingly unlikely)

FB- Nicholson - Frawley - Garland

HB- Watts - T MacDonald- Ray

C- Blease - Jones - Sylvia

HF- Howe - Dawes - Tapscott

FF- Pedersen - Clark - Byrnes

FOL- Jamar - Trengove - Grimes

int- Viney - Wines - Mckensie - Davey (If he can rotate between HBF and Small Forward)

(I want Davey in that team and in form I think he will be, also I want Wines and Viney to play round one but it is difficult to get them all in, Taggert will also get his chance so there will be a bit of competition for midfield spots this year)

It's bloody CLARK not ClarkE!!!

It's bloody CLARK not ClarkE!!!

but at least there ain't a Maloney!

[Miles from Nowhere 199]

I know the premise of the OP is best 22 but surely we can't select a side with only an aging, slowing and increasingly injury prone Russian as the sole ruckman, with occasional chop outs from Dawes or Clark? What happens when he goes down?

I assume you mean Tom Mcdonald and not Joel M'a'cdonald?

Taggert in the forward pocket of our best 22 is definitely 'a roughie'. Also, no Sylvia but Morton, Dunn and two first years get a gig ahead of him?

[P-man 13,353]

I'll be watching the game with only one eye open if Dunn, Morton and Bartram are on the team sheet.

[Little Richard 5,943]

I swear a new 'best 22' thread pops up every week.

[satyricon 267]

The one inclusion I am enjoying is Wines, assume we have somebody from the recruiting department on this board, so it is a given we are going to get him.....Pedersen is not a given now either once the Roos offloaded McIntosh

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

Excited that we finally have some tall timber down in the forward line.

R: Jamar - Jones - Sylvia

I: Rodan - Bail - Viney

S: Jetta

E: Gawn - Strauss - Bartram - MacDonald - Tapscott - Jordie - Sellar - Petterd - Tynan - Taggert - Fitz

Bold = Could easily play in the 22

Underlined: If fit, is in 22

Gysberts wasn't even going to be bold, and Morton wouldnt even be in the Emergency list.

Happy

Sylvia? No nicho?

[Josh 1,420]

No love for Magner? Whilst this isnt looking ANYTHING like a finals team let alone a premiership team, its good to see some "depth" with form and injury dictating who plays out of Magner, Nicholson, Dunn, Jetta, Sellar, Pederson, Macdonald
