Prediction 2024 - Best 23 + Emergencies - Rolling

[passmark]

Just need some Luck with injuries. A season with Boyd, Fantasia, Williams, Walsh, E Hollands, Cuningham and Martin available almost every week would be a game changer. All quick enough and pretty good ball users .

Get to church sinners and pray for no injuries!




Or at least if we have injuries it’s the slow blokes with iffy disposal!

So you are “happy” for Crippa…..?

 

[Juddernaut08]

No Hewett?

Controversial but no. Id like us to only play one of the big dudes in the middle.

Cripps first choice/rests forward
Kennedy second choice/rests forward

Hewett backup but not 22

The rest of the mids to be dynamic and runners

It's going to be interesting if our best 26-30 are available.

From your selected side, which I do like, having Acres, Doc, Cotts, and both Hollands boys that can play or rotate on a wing, one might make way for a hard nosed mid such as Hewett

When Hewett is playing well, we seem to be a better performing team.

Yeah when in form hes a gun so hard to leave out. Just think thats the way the game is moving.

If I had to choose between missing Cripps or Walsh, yes I’d choose Cripps out.

 

[Red Bull]

Let’s have a go at this after the draft.

Boyd Weitering McGovern
Newman Marchbank Saad
Acres Cripps Hollands
Martin McKay Hollands
Motlop Curnow Kemp

Pittonet Cerra Walsh

TDK Docherty Durdin Williams Hewett


Fogarty Young Akuei
Cowan Durdin Cincotta
Binns Kennedy Cottrell
Cuningham Silvagni Fantasia
Owies Lemmey Moir

Mirkov Carroll Wilson

O’Keefe Monahan Rookie?

Really want to see Kemp forward.
Reckon he’s got the game and mindset to make it there.
Fogarty can’t kick goals but can tackle and pressure, so it’s off to the backline for you …

We didn't bring in Fantasia to play reserves.

He replaces Durdin IMO.

Injuries are going to play a sizeable part on selection/availability of our forwards.

[Christou2Kouta]

It's nice that we have most of the pieces in place with only the fringe players prompting the typical debate. To me it's shaping up something like this:

B: Newman Weitering McGovern
HB: Saad Marchbank Williams
C: Acres Cripps Walsh

F: Motlop Curnow Fantasia
OB: DeKoning Cerra Hewett

[JuddgementDay]

Now that we have Orazio, let's try this difficult task again...


FB: Marchbank, Weitering, Boyd
HB: Williams, McGovern, Saad

C: Acres, Cripps, O Hollands
R: De Koning, Cerra, Walsh

HF: Martin, Curnow, E Hollands
FF: Fantasia, McKay, Motlop

Int: Newman (def), Hewett (inside), Docherty (mid/wing), Kemp (utility)
Sub: C Durdin

Now let's compare this team vs our prelim final team.

Ins: ZWilliams Kemp EHollands CDurdin Fantasia (pretty zippy players)

Out: Cincotta Pitto Fogarty Kennedy Cottrell

JSOS could be the utility instead of Kemp if Harry can't handle the part time ruck duties.
TDK needs to standup, but other than that and assuming natural development/ improvements the ins look a fair bit stronger than the outs & much zippier too

I'm still happy with this best 22 pre-draft.
I'm not too sure how, but it would be a good surprise if any of the new players can force their way in.
The key word here is force! Maybe, the 23rd spot is up for contention.
This give the new players time to get up to speed e.g. Binns and JCarroll

We are going to have a lot of competition for spots, via the VFL - this is a nice problem to have

Sub from bench.

Reserves

B: M. Carroll, S.Durdin, Young
HB: Cowan, Kemp, Boyd
C: Binns, Kennedy, Wilson
HF: C. Durdin, Akeui, Cuningham
F: Fantasia, Lemmey, Moir

R : Mirkov, Fogarty, J. Carroll

I/C: Monahan, Duffy, O'Keefe, E. Hollands

The additions are all unproven in our system and I will want to hear training reports, and see some pre-season to make a call.

If fit, you should expect E. Hollands, Fantasia, Moir, Binns, Cowan, C. Durdin, Boys, Kennedy, Fogarty, Cuningham pushing a senior case early

He replaces Durdin IMO.

Wasn’t aware we brought Durdin in to play reserves either.
He’s been out of sight - out of mind for a while but given a clear injury run next season, reckon he’ll make people sit up and take notice.
He’s AFL caliber for mine and can help take the team to another level …

Best list and depth we have had in over 25 years

Durdin playing 1sts while Marchbank, Kemp or even Young is fit is just never going to happen.

He was recruited as a break glass in case of emergency KPD.

He’s very very far down the list.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Boyd. Weitering. Kemp.
Saad. McGovern. Newman.
O Hollands. Cripps. Acres.
Martin. Harry. Cuningham.
Motlop. Charlie. Owies.
R. TDK. Walsh. Cerra.
I Kennedy. Hewett. Docherty. Pittonett.

E. Cottrell. E Hollands. Fantasia. Moir.

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

O Hollands. Cripps. Acres.
Martin. Harry. Cuningham.
Motlop. Charlie. Owies.
R. TDK. Walsh. Cerra.
I Kennedy. Hewett. Docherty. Pittonett.

E. Cottrell. E Hollands. Fantasia. Moir.

Rekon Williams gets in before Kemp but still a pretty solid side.

 

[Arr0w]

For me, the 2nd KPD is the biggest mystery, as any of Young, Durdin, Kemp, Marchbank could play that role, even while some are undersized

For now, backing Young to take back the role

Cottrell extremely stiff to miss out
