With people picking best 22 teams and choosing forwards mainly as goal kicking options, I think it's important to note in today's game that there needs to be a player or players who can play on those damaging half backs such as Malcevski in round one,Gibbs and Goddard and the like.

So having said that who would you pick round one to play on Malcevski?

If he is picked, possibly Pedersen... purely because of his experience playing in the back line.

Who's our best defensive forward? Probably Dawes. Not much competition though...

Who would play on Malceski. JKH?

Pederson and Dawes are good defensively but do the have the run, perhaps a leaner Pedrson could do the job .

Probably Bail. Good endurance, can lay a tackle and is known to kick the odd goal.

Watts if fit.

Could you please explain your reasoning behind Watts.

Cheers.

One would say that Billy is just trying to take the P155 out of anyone that responded.

He won.

JKH for me. He can chase and tackle plus his disposal of the ball is pretty good. If bail gets it he turns it over.

Is this a role for Bernie Vince?

I'm thinking Bail, Kent ,Salem as they have to be able to run well cover ground quickly and snaffle goals when the opportunity arises.

Pedersons preseason has been interesting as he has lost weight and toned down, he has good endurance,so being lighter might give him a bit more closing speed. JKH could be a little short for the role.

I was responding to the question in the OP, as opposed to the thread title.

I think Watts is capable of playing on a Malceski type. He has the engine to go with Goddard (although let's not forget mckenzie's job on Goddard a couple of seasons back.

If the question is about our best defensive forward, that would be Garlett.

I don't think my Watts response is taking anywhere near the quantity of urine as those who have said Dawes. Regardless of which question they chose to answer, Dawes is far from the answer to either of them.

I also love your method of posting. Question someone's answer/opinion without expressing your own. Interesting behaviour-some would say troll-like.

And one more "Al" - the OP asked who would play on Malceski. In your current starting 22 on another thread, you have Watts and Kent on HFF. Given Malceski is a HBF, who would he go to in your team, Kent or Watts? Edited by billy2803

It will be the defender who elects who he plays on, not the other way around!

Not always, and it's a changing landscape, especially with the increase in the importance of the HBF.

A couple of years ago Watts played a dedicated defensive HFF role on Sam Fisher against St Kilda. Watts got towelled up, but his role as a HFF was to go to their running HBF. Dunn used to be a great defensive HFF, as he would kick goals.

Can't remember who the player is, maybe at Adelaide, that Roos had one of our players tag off a HBF last season.

Also, CBDees, I think I have clearly indicated in the post you quoted, that the defender is choosing who he plays on. I've highlighted the main bit for your benefit...

Didn't rate this guy until the end of last year.. Forever held a grudge when he couldn't make the distance from 45 against Collingwood in 2010 rd2. But he has turned the corner.. Lets hope Roo's turns him into a kirk like figure!

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
