Best 22 based on Pre Season form


Barney Rubble

Recommended Posts

Based on pre season so far.

You cannot pick Garland, Riley, Watts & Vince. They didn't have any contact work.

Howe seems Ok he put in a great pre Xmas. If he gets over his hammy soon he is still in consideration.

Did you not put Vandenberg in your 22?

Our starting 22 based on preseason form would see Vince and Watts not picked. If they are fit and ready to go for round 1, then they are automatically selected. Makes this exercise a little more difficult.

That said, I'll presume they will be right to go, so my 22 would be;

B - Jetta-Frost-Dunn

HB - Grimes-McDonald-Garland

C - McKenzie-N Jones-Lamumba

HF - Watts-Pedersen-Vince

F - Garlett-Hogan-Kent

R - Jamar-Tyson-Viney

Inter - M Jones-Howe-Newton

Sub - Salem

Emg - Michie-Gawn-Petracca

Notes;

McKenzie goes to Ablett

When Jamar rests, Pedersen goes to ruck, Jamar to full forward, Hogan to CHF

If Watts, Vince and/or Howe don't play;

Gawn comes in for Watts

Michie in for Vince

Petracca for Howe, but starts as sub and Salem is elevated to the bench

Happy for JKH and Toumpas to get some form/confidence playing in the VFL.

what bout Cross?

I think they should pick the first NAB challenge game based on training form so Howe has already been ruled out and I wouldn't play Vince, Watts and Garland who have been in rehab for a while even if they were fit enough in time, I would hold them back for another week.

B: JETTA, FROST, DUNN

HB: GRIMES, T.MCDONALD, LUMUMBA

C: CROSS, N.JONES, NEWTON

HF: KENT, DAWES, BAIL

F: GAWN, HOGAN, GARLETT

FOLL: JAMAR, TYSON, VINEY

IC: PEDERSEN, M.JONES, SALEM, TOUMPAS, KENNEDY-HARRIS, MICHIE

SUB: BRAYSHAW, PETRACCA

If we are talking about the first NAB Cup game (& there are six interchange), then my team would differ as below

B. Jetta. Frost. Dunn

HB. Brayshaw T. Mac. Toumpas

C. HL. Viney. Watts

HF. Petracca. Dawes. Gawn

F. Garlett. Hogan. Kent

R. Jamar, Tyson, N.Jones

I. Newton, Vince, Howe, Salem, JKH

S. Mitchie

E. Pederson, Vandeberg, M. Jones

Unlucky and depending on injuries: Cross, Grimes, Garland, Fitzy

What about leaving Hogan out of the NAB cup and just debut him round 1?

Can anyone imagine how bad it would be for Hogan to go down in the NAB cup, seriously I wouldn't play him, the NAB cup is a joke.

Yes

I suspect he will replace Trenners.

If he does get upgraded he will get in.

And what if he goes down in round 1 or at training... perhaps we shouldn't play him then either?

Yeh but if it's based on pre season, it would be hard to justify his selection due to missing pretty much the whole of December and resuming full training in January, was what I was suggesting

play hogan. If we are worried he might hurt himself then we will never play him. what about our other prized draftees? do we not play them in the nab either?

I think we shouldn't worry about that. Luck of the draw.
However if he's not right physically or mentally then of course don't play him.

Sorry but this is crazy logic. The need for him to get some competitive gametime under his belt is far greater than the need to wrap him in cotton wool. He could just as easily go down in the first quarter of Rd 1. Holding him back is literally pointless.

Pointless and counterproductive as you say 'P-man'.

Are you serious?? You would have Toumpas instead Of Cross across Half back???

Cross was a revelation last year. For him to miss is unthinkable!

I would like to see Toumpas playing a few Brilliant games for Casey across HBack before even considering him to play instead of Cross!

Salem across Half Forward line for me! Brayshaw to get a gig in the 22 possibly replacing Michie/ Gawn!

Gawn at Half Forward?? Nup!!

Roos will play whoever he believes to be the best for the job when the time comes. If he picks Toumpas over Cross, then so be it.

Where would you play Gawn if you are to have a second ruck? From all the training reports he has been taking some good marks and clunking a few goals. He would be hard to match up.

Similarly Toumpas is showing some form at training and, if he stays on the list, he is the future of the Club. There is no reason that he should prove himself at Casey if he can do it at traing and the NAB Cup.

Also no problems with Brayshaw starting but the suggestion of swapping him for Gawn is hardly like for like!

Cross proven, hard, creative ball winning capable, HBF

Toumpas needs more than "Training Form" to get a gig IMV

Gawn maybe but rotating on and of the ground not on a HFF

And another HOWE?? HFF??

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!
