2016 - Best 22

[tenderwarrior]

Talk about riches!

B: Schofield MacKenzie Hurn
HB: Wellingham Brown Sheppard
C: Gaff Priddis Masten
HF: LeCras McGovern Jetta
F: Cripps Kennedy Darling
R: NicNat Yeo Shuey
Inter: Lycett Redden Sheed Duggan

Looking at that, I know McGovern is probably likely to play CHB, but I really want him to win the Coleman and Brownlow double in 2016!

 

[BOND 007]

Yup thats my best 22 right there.

For me Yeo starts in the guts with shuey and priddis, masten to flank and redden to bench

Cant argue with that - perfect 3 way rotation.
Actually ran into a current AFL coach (& a recently retired player who us now his assistant) at the boxing day test & they both said how scary WC's options are. They both said that they felt WC were going to be the hardest team to plan for & match up on such is their flexibility.

We are going to regret not going for Bennell

Meh id rather he not lead our goody two shoes list down the path of poor choices.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Masten particularly & Hill to a certain extent are in 22 at seasons start.
With the experience thats been gained this year - unlikely for Butler AND Ellis to BOTH be in 22 & a suggest good chance BOTH miss out

Schofield emac hurn
Well mcgovern shep
Gaff priddis jetta
Lecras darling yeo
Cripps kennedy hill
Nait shuey redden
Duggan masten sheed lycett

Enough flexibility there to make it work

BOND 007 - nice post. That gives us as depth/development team as follows:

Starting to believe our squad has improved since season end. Also showing good signs for the future with the development prospects.

Decent backline, probably better than St kildas.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Looks about the same as previous years depth.

 

[Mr Commissioner]

Waterman isn't coming back.

Dare say he's going to get the chop end of the year.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Waterman isn't coming back.

Old news sunshine.

 

[Mr Commissioner]

Old news sunshine.

Remember to wear sunscreen at the Colts games this year, you burn very quickly.

Also, new pair of shades is required, they're awful.

Jetta will play marginally backward of centre - will run the same patterns as Smith from Hawthorn.

Yeah, As soon as i posted it , i thought he should be more mid

 

[MitchelltoBayes]

Plenty of chat here about Masten not being in best 22. Hard to fathom given he is a ball magnet and an endurance beast particularly with the new interchange rules coming in. Redden is on the fringe given his injury woes last year & a perennial b-grader, Jetta is a walk-up start with his penetrating kick (and also cos he's an ex-Swan).

 

[Chris_6678]

With Redden out early my best 22:

Shep Emac Butler
Wellers Schofield Hurn

Jetta Priddis Gaff

Lecra Gov Darling
Hill JK Cripps

Ruck: Nic Nat, Shuey, Yeo

Bench: Masten, Duggan, Lycett, Sheed.

EMG: Hutchings, Brown, Ellis

If we have no injuries it gets very interesting as to who makes way for Redden.

Redden is a substantial upgrade to Masten.

Different players different roles.
Would take mastens kicking inside 50 or all day run anyday over redden. Would taken redden extracting a hard ball or tackling someone anyday over masten

Waterman isn't coming back.

y u say dis

Well it's one or the other, your scenario doesn't roll in reality.

Why not have both ?

 

[2006_Eagles]

Why not have both ?

I thought you were tossing up between one or the other

Well if it wasn't you yeah both is good

If we are willing to drop Ellis and Butler then the team make up does become easier.

I kept one of them not because I think its a better team but because I think our MC is pretty conservative.

 

[twce13]

What about masten spending some more time off hbf. Mid will still be his position, but to give us more flexibility and means we can do without one and maybe both Ellis and butler.

Masten on a Half back flank would be insanity

Dont you have to be able to tackle to play in the backline?

Or at least be able to intercept mark or simply mark above your head
