Preview 2025 Best 22 Discussion

[Spirit Level]

First pass below! Before you all jump down my throat, this is a before draft/trade period best 22 which means no Bolton yet. I'll do another one after the list is finalised

Anyway..... as it currently stands:

FF: Sturt Amiss Switta
HF: Frederick Treacy Jackson
C: NOD Brayshaw Sharp
HB: Chappy Cox Clark
FB: Ryan Pearce Walker

R: Darcy Serong Young

I: Ras JOM Wags Fyfe

S: Walters

Pushing for a spot:
Simpson
Draper
Davies
Voss
Brodie
Worner
Delean (hopefully)
Knobel
Stanley
Wagner

Depth:
Banners
Aish
Emmett
McDonald
Reidy

Have at it!

That looks pretty good. I think we need to move beyond Fyfe, Walters and probably JOM too. We can't afford to play them all in the same team.

All three of them could potentially go backwards over the off season. Conversely some of the younger players could step up. We need to be ruthless about carrying old players who are only going to get worse.

 

[Pussinbootz]

Probably just swap Ras for Johnson.

Needless to say a fit NOD with a full preseason improves us out of sight

 

[Lach72]

Johnson in for Fyfe.
Simpson for Walters

Probably just swap Ras for Johnson.

Maybe my eyes are getting a little old. He ain't there.

I am struggling looking at all of Fyfe, Walters and O'Meara in that side.

Expect Bolton locks out Walters.

Erasmus and O'Driscoll must put pressure on O'Meara.

 

[EastcoastDocker]

I feel sharps spot in the 22 could come under threat. Fat side winger who can't play any other position on the ground, who doesn't have elite skills and questionable in the contest.

Could be the Brodie of 23/24.

What's everyone's thoughts on NODs role next year? I presume most b22s will plant him on the wing, but watching the Peel finals series, today in particular, maybe he is an option for more genuine midfield time?

Rotating via wing is a great option.
