What is our best 22? 

Injuries and new recruits aside what would your best 22 look like Rnd 1 2021? Fire away.

B: Lockhart May Hore

HB: Rivers Lever Salem

C  Langdon Brayshaw Bennell

HF: Harmes Jackson Melksham

F: Pickett Weideman Fritsch

F: Gawn, Oliver, Petracca

I: Hannan Viney AVB Tomlinson

E: Hibberd Jordan Sparrow Petty

Interesting team.

This is how I see it. (@Werridee will love this thread)

I'd have Tomlinson in the back 6 or a traded in KPD, but I wouldn't have Hore in the team at all. Petty definitely ahead of him. 

I'd love Bennell to be able to play on a wing, but is his body up to it?

As it stands, I don't think Melksham and Fritsch can play in the same team.

I reckon three or four places on the bench are up for grabs.

B: SALEM, MAY, LEVER

HB: RIVERS, PETTY, HIBBERD

C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON

HF: MELKSHAM, JACKSON, FRITSCH

F: PICKETT, WEIDEMAN, BENNELL

FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY

IC: BRAYSHAW, SPARROW, LOCKHART, HANNAN

Petracca, May, Gawn, Oliver, Salem, Langdon.... 

Cannot think of any one else... 

Wont matter how good the 'best 22' looks come Round 1 2021 if we still have the same coaches.

Very true that

This is pretty depressing to read, we dont really have any midfield depth at all and banking on a first year player to hold down chf and a bloke that has played a handful of games and can't get his body right as either key forward or back

We absolutely do have midfield depth.

Petracca, Oliver, Harmes, Viney, Brayshaw are 5 very solid mids.

Then who 

I'd run defensive forwards through there as we did in 2018. I'd like to think Bennell might be able to get involved too, but his tackling left a lot to be desired this year.

Best 22 for Round 1 2021

FB:  M. Hore  S. May  T. Rivers

HB:  J. Lever  T. McDonald  C. Salem

C:  E. Langdon  A. Brayshaw  T. Phillips

HF:  B. Fritsch  J. Hogan  K. Pickett

FF:  T. Bedford  S. Weideman  J. Viney(resting mid rotation)

Fol:  M. Gawn  C. Petracca  C. Oliver

Int:  M. Hibberd  J. Harmes  L. Jackson  J. Lockhart

Think Hogan and Phillips are very fringe at current club, and if we are lucky enough to get an CHF well McDonald was once a super solid defender, very reliable.  also is a few wing types going to be available so no reason we cant get one as long as we can afford it.

Best 22 from current list

FB:  M. Hore  S. May  T. Rivers

HB:  J. Lever  A. Thomlinson  M. Hibberd

I tend to agree. He will be lucky to survive. I'm finding it very hard to make a best 22 when players that should have improved have been poor like Brayshaw, Harmes and Vandenberg.

Shouldn't happen - Phillips can't kick, we can fix Harmes. Won't happen x 3 - Gus isn't worth a first, Preuss isn't worth Aliir, Vanders isn't worth Cumming.

Won't happen x 2. The Crows don't need ANB. Williams we can't afford.

Adam Tommlinson    Steven May    Michael Hibberd 

Jake Lever   Tom McDonald  Christian Salem 

Trent Rivers   Christian Petracca   Ed Langdon 

Jake Melksham Sam Weideman  Harley Bennell 

Kozzie Pickett  Harrison Petty  Aaron Vandenberg 

Max Gawn  james Harmes  Clayton Oliver 

Jack Viney, Angus Brayshaw, Luke Jackson, Bailey Fritsch 

 

Some positional changes i'd make. 

Tmac to CHB. a full pre season of working on his running i think he can settle back into that position with much more support around him. 

Lever to the back flank. he's consistently caught one on one. he'll be dangerous for us as a quarter back player who can use his kicking and leave his opponent and intercept. 

Really rate Rivers, would be backing him to develop into the wingman we're crying out for. 

I think Harry Petty has shown great signs as a forward and i'd be willing to back him in if he can get fit, Vanders and Spargo down there provides some tackle pressure and also dangerous players. Bennell and Melksham help address the inside 50 conversion.

Phillips is a wingman and that's what we need Harmes is not what we need. I think Brayshaw is still worth a pick between 10 and 20. Aliir was dropped not getting a game Preuss is the ruckman they need and Cumming isn't even getting a game is he? Give ANB away for nothing some team will take him for nothing. The big one Why can't we afford Williams we are an ordinary team not even a top 8 team. We should be able to afford anyone especially if we can offload McDonald.

Why are you wanting blokes who can’t get a game at clubs lower on the ladder than us?
