Team Mgmt. 2024 Best 22 (or 23)

[Joeyjoejoe]

Early crack at how the trades affect our best 22 ... I'm liking the depth we will have ...

Firsts :

B: McGrath McKay Laverde
HB: Ridley Reid Redman
C: Duursma Parish Martin
HF: Gresham Jones Hobbs
F: Stringer 2MP Langford
Foll: Draper Merrett Setterfield
B: Perkins Shiel Caldwell Durham
Sub : Hind

I would like to see Durham trialed as the 7th defender if we land Duursma. I think he could play in the Redman mold.

Seconds:

B: Kelly Baldwin ...........
HB: Cox Hayes Heppell
C: A. Davey Tsatas ...........
HF: Menzie Voss J.Davey
F: Goldy Weideman Guelfi
Foll: Bryan ........... ..........
B: Wanganeen Hunter ....... ...........

I presume Snelling with be delisted ... D'Ambrosio + BZT traded.

 

[ant555]

Not seeing Reid in the best 22 in round 1 myself.

 

[naraku]

B: Ridley McKay McGrath
HB: Redman Baldwin Durham
C: Merrett Setterfield Martin
HF:Gresham Jones Stringer
F: Menzies Wright Langford
Foll: Draper Parish Caldwell
I/C: Hobbs Perkins Goldstein Duursma


Right now, I am not putting Reid or Cox into the best side until they have a stretch of fitness and decent VFL form.
Tsatas, I would expect him to be there abouts right now. I won't be surprised if he starts in either side, but expect him to be in the best team by the bye.
I hope and expect Tex and the Davey's to get some good VFL form as well.

I will be surprised if Shiel isn't elsewhere by the end of trade period.

I do not see a lot of AFL games for Kelly, Hind, Guefli and Heppell.

 

[Vindicater]

Round 1 predictions with current list.

AFL

B: McGrath McKay Hind
HB: Ridley Laverde Redman
C: Durham Parish Martin
HF: Gresham Jones Langford
F: Stringer 2MP Menzie
Foll: Goldstein Merrett Setterfield
B: Perkins Hobbs Caldwell Bryan
Sub: Cox

Draper and Sheil still coming back from injuries could also be apart of the above.
Duursma likely to come into this group somewhere as well.

VFL

Have included Snelling, Hunter and Voss for now until they are delisted.

B: Kelly Reid ???
HB: Baldwin Hayes Heppell
C: A. Davey Tsatas Wanganeen
HF: Voss Weideman Snelling
F: J Davey Hunter Guelfi
Foll: ??? ??? ???
B: ??? ??? ??? ???

Really need to invest in another midfielder or two in the draft and a fourth (project) ruck.

 

[Duckworth]

B: McGrath McKay Ridley
HB: Redman Baldwin Hind
C: Martin Setterfield Durham
HF: Merrett Jones Langford
F: Menzies Wright Davey
R: Goldy, Parish, Tsatas
I Perkins, Hobbs, Caldwell, Bryan

Draper, Stringer not ready.

 

[eth-dog]

Assuming we get Duursma as part of the Zerk trade, I think we start as:

McGrath - McKay - Kelly
Ridley - Laverde - Redman
Durham - Parish - Martin
Perkins - Langford - Gresham
Menzie - Wright - Stringer
Goldstein - Merrett - Shiel
Duursma - Caldwell - Setterfield - Bryan
Heppell

By the bye I'm hoping for:

McGrath - McKay - Cox
Ridley - Baldwin - Redman
Durham - Parish - Martin
Hobbs - Langford - Gresham
Menzie - Wright - Stringer
Draper - Merrett - Shiel
Duursma - Caldwell - Setterfield - Bryan
Perkins

Too tall down back. Replace Cox with Heppell

Question how much defensive pressure that forward six would give us. I think Menzie replaces Tsatas for that reason.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Round 1, full strength (obvs no Draper, left Shiel out) this is how I think Brad lines us up (could be a tad optimistic on Baldwin, Brad probably rolls out Lav)

B Ridley - McKay - McGrath
HB Redman - Baldwin - Heppell
C Martin - Hobbs - Durham
HF Gresham - Wright - Perkins
F Menzie - Langford - Stringer
R Goldstein - Parish - Merrett
Int. Hind - Duursma - Setterfield - Caldwell - Bryan

The one I can see him trying to fit is Tsatas.

 

[Bombers36]

B Ridley - McKay - McGrath
HB Redman - Laverde- Hind
C Martin - Setterfield - Durham
HF Gresham - Jones - Langford
F Stringer - 2MP - Menzie

R Bryan - Parish - Merrett

Int. Caldwell - Hobbs - Tsatas - Goldstein

Draper & Shiel to start in reserves until fit, then likely replace Goldy & Tsatas when the times right...

IN: 17

OUT: SOFT BULLSHIT

 

[Milanista28]

Not seeing Reid in the best 22 in round 1 myself.

Probably unlikely, but we've played him when fit at every opportunity, we seem to really rate him and want to get as many games into him as possible.

 

[Mikevk123]

B- McGrath McKay Ridley
HB- Redman Reid Hind
C- Martin Setterfield Duursma
HF- Perkins Jones Shiel
F- Gresham Wright Langford
FOLL- Draper Merrett Parish
I/C- Hobbs, Caldwell, Durham, Stringer
Sub- Heppell
Emerg- Cox, Tsatsas, Bryan, Menzie, Guelfi

 

[Call Me Cake]

McGrath - McKay - Hind
Ridley - Reid - Redman

 

[jdstorm]

Assuming we get Duursma as part of the Zerk trade, I think we start as:

McGrath - McKay - Kelly
Ridley - Laverde - Redman
Durham - Parish - Martin
Perkins - Langford - Gresham
Menzie - Wright - Stringer
Goldstein - Merrett - Shiel
Duursma - Caldwell - Setterfield - Bryan
Heppell

By the bye I'm hoping for:

McGrath - McKay - Cox
Ridley - Baldwin - Redman
Durham - Parish - Martin
Hobbs - Langford - Gresham
Menzie - Wright - Stringer
Draper - Merrett - Shiel
Duursma - Caldwell - Setterfield - Bryan
Perkins

So your ideal team is starting 3 mini midfielders with a proven large sample size of an inability to play together.

I don’t get it.

 

[exxcessivve]

B: McKay | Ridley | Laverde

HB: Heppell | Redman | Durham

R: Goldstein | Parish | Merrett

IC: Setterfield | Baldwin | Perkins | Hobbs



S: Cox

 

[Razzle Dazzlers]

Amazing how just a couple of upgrades make competition for spots seriously go up a notch. Add in a top 10 pick who will probably play at some stage.

I’m going to make my list based on my take on positions rather then the typical setup

Have tentatively placed Caldwell at HB because I’m not sure where else he fits.

Going to be some stiff competition for spots

Have left out Draper & Shiel as fitness clouds over both but they will feature in seniors when fit no doubt..

[Godzke]

A reminder that Martin's scintillating form came to a screeching halt as soon as he was trialled as a HF instead of a winger.

At HF, he'll attract a more defensively accountable opponent. He needs to stay on the wing.

Hopefully by the end of the season it looks something like this. (Age at the start of next season in brackets)

McGrath (25) McKay (26) Ridley (25)
Redman (26) Reid (22) Durham (22)
Martin (23) Setterfield (26) Duursma (23)
Gresham (26) Jones (23) Caldwell (23)
Davey (20) 2MP (27) Langford (27)
Draper (25) Merrett (28) Parish (26)
Hobbs (20) Perkins (22) Bryan (22) Tsatas (19)

Emg: Cox (22) Menzie (21) Stringer (30) Shiel (31)

Need to draft someone to play off half back like Leakes, Hardeman or Schoenmaker and hopefully a big inside mid (Clay Hall with 35? Rosa connection as well IIRC) as well to step in when Setterfield is close to his 30s/injured.

Target Todd Marshal and Zurhaar in Free Agency next year.

 

[FlyingV]

Funny how critical the daveys are to our forwardline already. Desperately need some leg speed in the forward half.

 

[eth-dog]

I honestly don't see why anyone would take Durham away from the wing. He doesn't have the weapons to be a half back and is your prototype defensive wing as quite often he covers the half backs man as they're streaking up the field.

He, Martin and Duursma will be a good rotation through there.
