What's our best line up?

Featured Replies

We have now won a game so what's our best line up moving forward? Is it the team that beat the Dockers. Is the out of form van Rooyen and Fritsch still in our best 23?

Best Line up

B: Lever, May, McVee

HB: Salem, McDonald, Bowey

C: Langdon, Oliver, Windsor

HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Chandler

F: Fritsch, Petty, Spargo

FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett

IC: Langford, Lindsay, Sparrow, Rivers

SUB: Melksham

EMERG: Tholstrup, Sharp, Turner

Casey

B: Smith, Adams, Bonner

HB: Howes, Turner, Hore

C: Billings, Laurie, Woewodin

HF: Sestan, Johnson, Henderson

F: Sharp, Jefferson, Fullerton

FOLL: Campbell, Culley, Tholstrup

IC: Baldi, Hardie, Verrall, Kentfield, 23rd man

EMERG: Brown, Mentha, George

 

You've probably selected that side based on previous form and not where all the players are now at and where they're likely to be able to get back to going forward. In saying that, depth isn't great.

The JVR call is a bold one - centre half forward? Why not give it a try. He’d have to work a lot harder and build up his aerobic agility.

 

It's too early to tell. What might be our best line up now is unlikely to be our best line up by the end of the year.

I hope we can get a look at Adams and Sestan at AFL level soon.

I think Turner should be in our best side too.

Definitely Turner.

I'd love Tholstrup to be clearly in the best 22 as part of that change you referred to over the year.

For me Melksham is nowhere near our best side.

I've NFI how JvR is expected to learn his craft as a forward if he's rucking for up to 10 minutes each quarter. Fullerton had 6 hitouts and went OK. IMO he stays until JvR shows a bit at Casey (not rucking).

Only Fullerton or AJ to ruck.

Melksham ensures the ball comes to ground. If JVR and others can start to do that, great. Until then, Melksham stays.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
