Jones is first 22 in my view

I'd have bigger issue with the use of "consistently"

Our teams are fairly similar HT and as such I think your team is pretty much spot on!

Oh but, but, but he's an ex-player...does this mean he doesn't want to come and play with us? Oh I can't handle this rejection, why do none of the bestest players in the league want to play with us?

You've already done bloody well and deserve to go much further. You should be very proud

I prefer this one

"Then I heard a voice screaming 'holy Jesus, what are these goddamn animals?'"

Surely two threads didn't need to be bumped. Good news though, we will forever be indebted to Jim, his board and those few hundred supporters who made this possible - and Foxtel.

What else would we do during the off season?

Hodge should've moved to NSW

Great news bud!

And spanked you

St Kilda LOST Geelong LOST W.B WON LOST Adelaide LOST WON Brisbane WON WON Carlton LOST WON Essendon LOST WON 6-6 against other top 8 sides Hawthorn LOST Port Adelaide WON West Coast WON Sydney WON WON North M WON Freo WON Richmond WON Melbourne WON WON 8-0 against bottom 7 They hit form winning 12 of 13 games leading into round 22 and were arguably the form team going into the finals. Then, well, Septembet happened. The second Dogs loss was also a costly won - because winning this (or even not losing by too much) would have meant a match against their bunnies. Remember them, that team Collingwood always play well against. Yeah, them.

Old Xav is probably just thankful they didn't make the GF.

B: Frawley Warnock Bennel HB: Strauss Garland Bruce C: Morton Moloney Blease HF: Bate Watts Sylvia F: Davey Jurrah Green Fo: Jamar Grimes Jones Int: Martin Scully Trengove McDonald E: Rivers Aussie Petterd Maric Jetta Dunn Miller Bartram Cheney Meesen Johnson McNamara Bell Newton Bail Buckley As usual, I rate Petterd but just can't find a spot to put him in and I'd like us to start the year with the captain in. Midfield rotations would include: Bruce, Green, Bennel, Scully, Trengove and Davey. I feel Green will start the year in the middle which could put Petterd into a pocket and one of the youngsters (Scully, Trengove, Blease) to miss out. So much depends on the off season and fitness obviously, but I'd rather see those youngsters getting a game with Green up forward and Petterd able to come in to fill gaps. The "outsiders" are pretty much roughly how I rate them.

No Grimes for the middle rp? I feel as though on any given day upwards of 9 players will play a midfielder role, so 6 is a bit limiting. However, this thread did push me to make my own best 22, so thank you

Pretty sure that match was cancelled

Well played

Haha who's on your list?

I'm sure that was Nasser Hussain's thinking too HT

I fail to see how he is playing the games though. You act as though there are no behind the scenes conversations and the club may only receive its news through the same sources as the rest of us. Just because you (and we) haven't heard anything does not mean we can extrapolate that out to mean that the club is being left in the lurch.

No it just seems to prolong every argument. Interesting question though. I'd say that I want him playing within 60 of goal and will be a focal point, thus FF in my view

Against North and that clip wasn't as impressive as Nev's tackle (and holding the ball) against Sandilands.

May I ask what you've done?

Kasabian coming out, woot
