If you put Midgley in a Horsham side, he would be more valuable than parish. Midge can play forward wing and on ball. Also how are ararat shaping up?

Players tough to miss out;

HORSHAM -
Pekin- has had a very consistent year and is a quality player. I think you could put a number of players in Horshams midfield who would kill it though.
Hartigan - Great in traffic, skills aren't fantastic though
Arnel - Getting on a bit, but bloody hard to stop

WARRACK -
Peter Weir - Dangerous forward, but misses far too often
Dan Krahe - Dangerous around goals, big tank

SAINTS -
Steve Cameron - Getting better the more i watch him. Hand height too
Phillip Butsch - Went missing a little last season, and would be better off hunting the footy rather than the opposition
Bernie Ward - Probably underrated, can really fire in the middle. Inconsistent though

DIMBOOLA -
Bennett - Fittest in the league, poor skills though.
Braithwaite - Very underrated. Highly skilled, but can be inconsistent.

STAWELL
Tuckey - We know how good he can be, but struggled with inconsistency/injury

MIN MURT -
Nil

ARARAT -
Lauchlan Dalgleish - Tore it apart when i've watched him play, have seen him rarely though.

NHILL -
Batson - Hard not to be a threat when you have his height. Good skills help though, and a massive kick.
Hargreaves - A fair way off his best. Still dangerous though.

UNITED -
Nil

What do you guys think? There's no doubt some i have overlooked. Interesting thought - i wonder how many of these guys i've listed played interleague? my count is 11 out of the 29. Poor interleague selection or lack of availability? Of course this is just my opinion, so feel free to fire away.

Hamish Excell better than Aaron Barnett, A Bachelor, Hartigan, Delahunty, Harrison, Pekin, George??? Good luck with that!

Good list mate but numbers 14 & 15 look out of place on that list. Hartigan is a good player in a great team. And Ben Spicer is overrated IMO, sure he has a crack but no way would he be in the top 15 players in the league. Would have Daniel Baker ahead of those two any day of the week & probably in the top 10. Agree with pretty much that whole list though so can't complain :thumbsu:

A lot of dimboola players in that list, in a team that shows it has no match winners after going out in straight sets two years in a row. Mckinnon is elite, after that is no match winners. Maybe L Excell around 15

Butsch, John Delahunty, Batson, Tuckey are all easily top 10 players. Quality players that dont have the depth and unity the teams like horsham warrack and dimboola. Most horsham players are perennial strugglers at interleague level, so how they would perform outside of the horsham juggernaut is questionable.

Those four players are certain starters in their preferred position in the best team in the league that are all proven performers at Rebels, AFL/VFL/SANFL levels. They just dont have the cattle around them to go all the way yet. Tuckey nearly won stawell a GF a yew of years ago and Batson was best for Nhill in their losing grand final two years ago.

How bout people name their best lineup of 21 players in position?

I think there should be a few more from Stawell in contention such as Dan Mathews, Scott Nicholson, Shane Field, Jorah Maregetson and Jackson Dark. Maybe Will Kelly from Nhill when he is on song (bit inconsistent). Jack Gangley from Ararat is a good young player. many might not think so but i rate Jackson O'Neil from Dimmy as a good player. He has a massive tank for a big man and we have seen him get jobs in the ruck, up forward or run with rolls with players such as Steve Schultz.
 
Horsham Saints latest recruit, Gary Hallam. Is he any good? How would he compare to other recruits so far in the WFL? I see he played in a premiership and interleague up in the Mallee but I can't say I remember him standing out at United or in the District League.

My WFL best 21 would line up like this

S Nicholson D Matthews B Harrsion
Stawell Stawell Warrack

H Excell L Excell P Butsch
Dimboola Dimboola Saints

J Delahunty A Mckinnon A Bachelor
Min/Mur Dimboola Ararat

B Hartigan D Skurrie C Midgley
Demons Demons Min/Mur

A Barnett B Tuckey D Parish
Demons Stawell Demons


D Batson Nhill J Eales Stawell
S Schultz Warrack J Rentsch Horsham
N Pekin Demons D Krahe Warrack

Cant think of any other players who are top 20 that aren't in this team.
Dont think this team would lose too many interleague games either.....

You can add former junior and premiership player Paul Adlington to this list, Heard on the weekend he will be back at the demons this year after a few years at Glenelg playing good senior footy. Would think he would be the pick up of the year.
 
Paul Adlington is a very handy pick-up for Horsham. Peter Macfarlane has signed up to play with Dimboola I would say he will be the recruit of the year, duel Toohey Medallist
 
Peter mcfarlin has already signed with Dimboola and the almost 99% positive Shannon keam is to follow. Karl lohde is now of interest. Roos looking good? Magee boys. Nigel sibson. Both Braithwaite boys back. Few youngsters coming up might get a spot in seniors. A few new faces were seen on the track tonight. Some big men. Dimboola is recruting well. And under the radar. Look out 2012 is all I can say.

Hadn't heard of Shannon Keam being that close to signing, but would be a handy rcruit. I reckon i heard that Karl Lohde was overseas for the rest of the year too? So doubt he would return, but probably the best midfielder the comp has seen in many years so would be a huge get if it happens. I heard there was another CHF type at training at Dim last night, any word on this guy? We have seen the Roos recruit late in previous years.

Dimboola are going to be Strong boys.No I can't say to much of who he is but he is roughly 6ft6 and only come to the club brought to melb by mate. Looked good. But dimboolas forward line look to be good they have recruited solid backline and now puts Lachie Exell and Peter McFarlan up forward. Unreal combo. And no lohdey is in contact with the club as we speak. May miss four first games
