  1. In an ideal world I think a starting 22 would look something similar to:

    Back: Jetta Frost Garland

    Half Back: Lamumba McDonald Dunn

    Centre: Vince N.Jones Howe

    Half Forward: Watts Dawes Garlett

    Forward: Hogan Fitzpatrick JKH

    Rucks: Gawn Vince Tyson

    Int: Mitchie Pederson Grimes

    Sub: Salem

    Emerg: Cross Bail Harmes

    Backs – Jetta to lock down the small forward (and capable of rebound)

    Frost to play Gorilla Keeper

    McDonald to lock down the other tall (has the endurance to run with CHF)

    Garland to take the remaining tall/small (has shown he can do this over the years)

    Dunn and Lamumba are our attacking options from the back flank – Dunn by foot (long bullet passes can get the ball quickly into the forward line) Lamumba by run and carry.

    Midfield – Jones two way running is a necessity for the centre, he has also shown he can lock down on an opponent whilst getting possessions. A true captains position

    On the wings Vince’s disposal will set up forwards while Howe will be impossible to match up, his disposal is also not to shabby, while he could float forward/back to create/fix headaches

    Viney and Tyson are there to win the ball, their disposal is more than acceptable (remember they are disposing it under pressure, which like Jone,s will improve significantly with experience and greater team support)

    Gawn is quickly overtaking Jamar and provides a better option up front and around the ground

    Forwards - Garltett needs to play on the Forward Flank where he can be more dangerous, have greater impact (the ball may not make it deep as regularly) and he can be moving towards the goals when crumbing the Big forwards. He also provides a better marking option than JKH.

    Dawes gets as many goals crumbing and high pressure acts than from taking a mark, which is a perfect fit for CHF; being a long straight shot also better fits this position

    Fitzpatrick’s speed is going to cause headaches to any opposition “Gorilla Keepers” assigned as fullback and therefore he needs to be told to just continually lead, lead, lead. He also chases better than many of our other tall options

    Hogan needs to be eased in as the third tall which should make a difficult match up and allow him to break packs, instead of being monstered by the oppositions 200game KPB.

    JKH has the footy nous and ability to turn on a coin, in an instant; allowing him the time and space to work at the feet of the talls’ around the goal square

    Don’t know about the other HFF, Watts would be ideal with his delivery and marking ability; I just fear that other teams will use his lack of defensive pressure as an “out” of defence. Could easily envisage Salem grabbing this spot, had hoped Trengove would.

    Pederson would provide coverage for all the talls, Grimes could cover backs and potentially midfield, while Mitchie provides Viney, Jones and Tyson more assistance. Salem is the dash of spark (and forward coverage). Note Garland and Dunn could both play forward as required whilst Watts and Howe could both play back.

    With M Jones, Jamar, Bail, Cross, Georgiou there is a little bit of depth, particularly if Toumpas develops (would hope he becomes the a forward option)

    Cannot expect first year players to have a significant impact, but can see stretch’s outside game as something that would help team dynamics (allow Vince, Howe, Garlett to be moved around).

    If not delisted would love to see a fit Tapscott develop into the HFF with his aggression, strong marking ability and 50+ metre bombs; but maybe that’s a little unrealistic – still every year there will be a player jump up from the lower ranks and surprise us all. Think Jetta last year.

    Cross might still be in best 22,but only by a mile.

  2. JH,spent most of the year learning how to switch.

    Also learnt how to run both ways.

    Coaching staff waiting to see if hard work has paid off.

    Revisit this players value after another 35-40 games.

  3. Are you kidding? Taylor was a star at U/18 level.

    He hasn't skipped a beat stepping up to AFL.

    Don't know who you were watching, but Lewie Taylor has been a star for a long time.

    Taylor had an interupted u18 champioship due to leg injury.

    In his best first year player speech,he went on to say he hardly did any preseason,before starring for the bears.

    Maybe im thinking of a different lewis taylor,but feel welcome to check those facts.

    The point i was actually answering is PR drafts athletes,not named u18 stars.

  4. I'm still not clear on this.

    A hermaphrodite frog?

    A genderless frog?

    A super frogman frog?

    A Mattel Ken frog (with suitably located bump)

    How on earth did you pick up that hot country chic?

    I will go with hermaphrodite,the old jamie lee curtis factor.

    Hopefully this will spice things up a bit.

  5. OK - i get the eyebrows thing but- what line could possibly get you over the line?

    Do you honestly think i gonna waste my line on the rabble that collects in here.

    DC would run amok if i divulged it.

    Biff would get it as a tattoo on his hand so as not to forget it.

  6. Looked at his highlights package...THIS KID CAN PLAY!!!

    Ya gotta love this place. People who have never actually seen a player play watch a highlights reel and decide who they want to draft. That's like 5 good things out of 300. Thats what Barrett does. Come on we're better than that aren't we. Please someone comment who has actually seen him play a few times.

    Previous knee reco is a definite concern.

    Lewis Taylor{yes that lewis taylor}showed bugger all in the local league,And not much at u18s.

    Had his season ruined by leg injury, which everybody was told would kill his draft chances and his 1st preseason.

    Its chooklotto,with coaches like PR,rather eager to buy used products.

    When he drafts a kid,he generally looks at athletic types.

  7. I wonder if any of the blue rinsers that daisycutter sh ags mercilessly ever come on board as Dees supporters? I'm guessing he makes them play "dress ups" - short jumpers, maybe dressing gowns, old fashioned goal umpire coats with nothing underneath etc ... etc..!

    He may even blow .... a whistle ... at crucial moments!!

    Classic Gold!! Reading this at the local after beers.

    Bbo you should write scripts man.

    BBO already writes scripts and uses some of the dialogue on this medium.

    He has written such blockbusters,

    You Me and a llama.

    Llamas do it with foxes.

    Biffs night in the "Hilton"

    All of his memorable movie scripts are available at all good stores.

  8. Jazza Watch Out!!!

    fear-the-real-killer.jpg

    A few blokes every year get retired by these assassins.

    Mostly broken toes and bruised ribs are the normal injury.

    The things we do for you city milk drinking folk.

    Silage done and still no ciggys,no wonder im getting headaches.

  9. Need an injection, jazza? :blink: Or just like inflicting some pain on some poor helpless bananas? (who don't know what they took, but know that is nothing harmful, illegal or fattening)

    The syringe,latex gloves and banana shaped object all contributed to my thoughts.
