What’s our best 22 ?

[Alex Flood 245]

Absolutely no injuries, pick out best 22.

[adonski 9,152]

FB: Hibberd, May, Tomlinson
HB: Salem, Lever, Hunt
C: Langdon, Viney, Brayshaw
R: Gawn, Oliver, Petracca
HF: Pickett, Weid, Spargo
F: Fristch, B. Brown, ANB
I/C: Jackson, Rivers, Sparrow, Melksham

I think in a perfect world Bowey & Laurie would be putting pressure on for spots ahead of guys like Sparrow & Melksham, but maybe unlikely as they didn't get to play last year. 

[deelusions from afar 1,613]

I'll give it a go

Jetta        May        Lever

Rivers  Tomlinson  Salem

Brayshaw  Oliver    Langdon

Pickett     TMac      ANB

Fritsch     Brown   Spargo

Gawn    Petracca   Viney

Hunt  Jordon  Melksham Jackson 

 

Em: Weid Harmes Sparrow  Hibberd

 

A lot of tough calls to be made - most likely we will have a few injuries along the way so the depth will be needed.  If Petty comes in for May, it will be interesting if he comes in and we don't miss a beat down back (which I think is possible - I rate Petty).

TMac deserves to be in the side on form - at the start of the season I would have had Weid there.  Can TMac play the wing as he trained for over summer?  If so, where does Brayshaw go?  Back?   But who of the back 7 go out?  And is Brown, Weid, Jacko, Tmac too tall in a team with Gawn and Fritsch (plus the key defenders)?

Amazing to think that the likes of Harmes and Hibberd aren't in my best 22 - although if they manage to break into the side through the season I think there's a good chance they'll stay in.

We seem to be in great shape with options to fill every position - would love to see the draftees get a taste but it's going to be tough to get them in if the team keeps playing how they are.  I guess having them develop at Casey is not the worst thing!

Largely agree, although l would swap Hibberd for Jetta, and maybe Petty for Jordon, although let’s see how he goes when he replaces May for the next 3-4 weeks. Overall a pretty good inform side.
 

I’m also predicting Jackson is going to have a breakout game during the next couple of months, similar to the one Max had at Kardinia Park,l think in 2013, when he announced himself to the world when he marked everything, and has been the premier big man in the game since. When that happens, we will become just about unbeatable!

Good choice.

Maybe for me only swapping Weid and Melk after the cats game.

Not like for like but weid is pretty athletic for his size.

Great to see Gus playing so well again.

Poor Jetta. Nothing would please me more and Im sure you to see him come back like Tmac.

Has been one of the clubs best players.

I think Melksham is a better player than Jordon and Hibberd is a better player than Jetta, but Jordon and Jetta are holding thier spots so good luck to them.

no, he's not the present nor the future of this football club, tbh i'm not seeing what everyone else is so far this year but maybe i watch him too closely looking for his mistakes but given the fact he's on 700k and GCS current shortage of depth forwards im hoping we can ship off the best part of 500 of that - they get an upgrade on Day/Burgess/corbett to support Bking and we get him off our books with one of majak/mbrown to continue in the depth role going forward with LJ and then bradtke/andrews developing behind the current first choice duo
