They must have accidently left out McCreery (even on the emergencies). No Ginnivan either

Flip of a coin if Lippa or De Goey starts forward. They'll then rotate positons.
While Noble has been on the rotations in match sims on the wing; I doubt he starts there. Sidebottom has been playing there more often than not.

Any other queries?
 
Mine, round 1 best 22.

Howe Roughy Maynard
Quaynor Moore Crisp
Sidey Pendles WHE
Josh D Mihochek Elliott
Henry Cameron McCreery

Grundy Adams De Goey

Noble Nick D Lipinski Kreuger

With a full list we are not too bad experience wise. Test is depth. Above team assumes full list. More likely there will be 2-4 of the above not fit come round 1. Still we deserve a good injury run. Will be massive competition amongst the young blokes for spots in the 22 and then later spots on the list.

At this point Wilson, Murphy, Kelly, the Browns would really be feeling the heat

Good team, but McCrae is saying they'll play Pendle's across HB so that will have to be taken into account.

I would be shocked if Pendles doesn't attend plenty of centre bounces and would expect he would start there most of the time. We need his skill and leadership there

De Goey also should be certain starter, assuming good fitness. Lippa still needs to claim his spot in the 22, early signs look good from reports but match sims among teammates wont mean anything once the 2 practicce matches occur which wont mean anything once the real stuff occurs. For year 6 guys like Call Brown and Lippa who havent yet got a spot in the 22 thats when the real fight begins.

We have a group of older not yet established mids in the Brown Bros and Lippa along with the younger few game mids like Fin, Bianco, Poulter and the no games yet group, Reef, Draper, Harrison, Murley and Nick D all looking for spots in the 22 over the next 12-24 months. It will be pretty brutal as young Rantall found out. Played ok in our last match as a member of the 22 then gone. Will happen to quite a number of these kids

Lippa and Call Brown 6 years in the system, not established best 22, same age, similar games. I would favour Lippa at this point clearly and I think Call will be gone at years end. Still if Call recaptures 2019 and Lippa cant take his chances they may reverse their current standing.

Tying De Goey and Lippa as alternates for the same possie cant be right. Lippa just isnt anywhere near Jordys potential and known output. Jordy will be our centre sq starter and will spend a lot of time in their and Lippa may get some relieving duties along with others is a much more likely senario. Your top mids spend as much time as possible at the coalface. Thats where Jordy will be.

Lippa and Cal Brown are not similar at all in game style , the only thing they share the same , is the time they have been in the system , that is all , one has exquisite kicking skills , the other one does not

They are usually on one another at centre bounce. They both are good at contest work/find space in congestion. Skills wise, 100% Lippa is so far ahead. But as for other things. Cal can do similar things.

Not bad. Going by McRae's interview, I wonder if Kreuger is ready.

Understand that they oppose each other at centre bounces as you state in your training report Jen , but as far as their playing styles been similar , I don’t see it , but you see a lot more of them than I do , so I’ll see myself out , for now

For sure. Probably not too much similar. All i'm saying that Cal has a couple similar attributes, that's all. Not the same level, but still there nometheless.

I just can’t get my head around Noble being there in front of Poulter, or McCreery or Ginnivan for that matter.

I think Noble will get games and he was a consistent senior player last year but k just think the younger players go past him this year.

Depends where they plan on playing him I suppose. I've seen him training at both HB and some centre bounces on the wing.

No doubt Poulter will get better this year. Whether thats replacing Noble or sidebottom on the wing, remains to be seen.

I do have to say, Noble has been very good this pre-season. Not the only player this new game plan/ball movement has helped improve tbh.

That forward line lacks serious forward pressure

Pretty close to mine. Those last few aren’t up to it unfortunately. Will be gone end of season.

Yep. Noble in the midfield , I am a fan of. Backline is not his go , gets exposed too often due to been out bodied by his lack of upper body strength. Let him run , gets a bit of it , and his disposal by foot is good

It is. The first game they put him on the wing.. I think it was sometime last year? maybe a pre-season game v Geelong? I was like... Okay, I like this.
Has pace, run, good kick.

I still remember the crows game I think, when he kicked right down the guts from the backline to pendles, who kicked to Jamie. Just taking the game on, not something our players have tended to do in recent times.

Very true , play your players where they are able to maximise their particular skill set in given position to maximise that role , when footballers , or any sport for that matter , allows that individual to play on instinct , you will get best returns , not always win , but give yourself the best possible chance of glory , very much look forward to see what unfolds with our young group of players under the tutelage and guidance of the McCrae led modus operandi

100% play to their strengths. Their best positon.

Something bucks had forgotten in recent times.

Some across HB. Not permanent. Think he will end up mainly mid

Give the defense a pass.
Midfield to be proven.
Forward line as the the coach alluded to we don't get the ball down there enough and often enough to score.
And yes I may sound harsh I just don't see that forward line being a major threat until we can get a key full forward and a center half forward.
Hope I end up eating humble pie just my thoughts.

Looks about the best on paper , and if Sidey is to play this season , where you have him on the team sheet , is the best position for him , at this stage of his career , my only question mark , is Krueger , have not seen enough of him , Geelong even preferred Ratugolea before him , not a walk up start yet , let’s see how he performs in the scratch matches

I’m with you on Krueger, but I think he needs to play straight away, we need another tall forward who can impact early on.I’m confident he can be that player quicker than most might expect. I’d like us to play 3 talls and 3 medium smalls as our forward structure. I also hope Ash Johnson can dominate early on at VFL level and gets a chance early.
