Neil Crompton 5,852 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Given our injury level is so low, it got me thinking about team make up if all players were fit, AND if all players were currently playing to their best of their ability. Who would be in this team and in what position to best suit the side? It’s a little bit harder than it sounds I think, because if all players are playing to the best of their abilities, then the more skilled players would have the advantage I believe. Anyway, here are my thoughts: Jetta OMac Hibberd JSmith Lever Lewis Hunt Jones Salem Melksham TMac Petracca Wiedermann Hogan Garlett Gawn Oliver Viney Int: Fritsch Brayshaw, Hannan, Vandeburg Emerg: Tyson, Harmes, ANB, Spargo Vince Like to hear your thoughts.

Expand Pretty sure there is a best 22 thread floating around already, having said that... Personally I wouldn’t have Joel Smith in my best 25-26 players let alone starting 18. Vince is still best 22, Harmes/ANB/Tyson in front of Vandenberg Edited May 17, 2018 by JV7 Quote
hells bells 2,023 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Sunday’s team will be pretty close to our best 22 IMO. Kent the only one missing due to injury and he would be borderline. I’m guessing Garlett comes back in. 1 Quote

Expand On everything we've seen so far, Pedersen is way ahead of Weiderman when we go on "best performed" (or whatever this thread's premise is). Weeds has a lot of years to catch up though, which is good cause that's what the VFL is for. Also, who's JSmith and why is he in my best Melbourne footy side? 1 Quote

I think he could eventually be in our best 22. He has a lot of potential and sound like he's building form in VFL. Wouldn't be in my current proven best 22. Quote

Adzman 2,154 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 I know Bernie has his haters on here but he is ahead of Smith and Vanders. I still think Pedo has the edge over Weeds, but I get why the club is playing him. We need games into Weeds to try and get him developing as a ruck forward for next season. Quote

Expand Can't possibly leave Harmes out following last week's performance. ANB FD favourite. He won't be going anywhere soon. I was there last Sat and saw more of Weid's contribution than I saw on the replay. Lewis is the wise head. Tyson the only replacement for mine. Quote

Expand Vanders??? The bloke hasn’t played for 2 years. He is not in our best 25. J Smith also hasn’t show enough to be in the squad.

mordja 187 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Ive got no idea what "best" means. If we are forecasting stats in Weid, surely we can go back just as easily and say Vince is a core mid. On the best of their ability shown, spargo is ahead of Weid. Happy to play make believe but Weid, Smith and Hunt are cusp to this list. Quote
Deestroy All 14,266 Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 Not sure how Hunt pushes Fritzl off the wing. Hunt has shown nothing in that position, Fritsch is a natural.

My rationale is to save him for the Crows and Collingwood, up forward, where he might tear those teams to pieces. 1 Quote

When Kent is at his best, clearly he is a best 22 player. The fact that we see his best so infrequently means he isn’t. Coming back to pre-season with condition doesn’t help he cause either. He needs to speak to Salem or Oliver about getting fit. Quote

WERRIDEE 5,638 Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Our best 22 is what we have now. Weed for Bull, that's the only difference. The players that are out are out for a reason, all of them are inconsistent. Quote
