Prediction 2025 - Best 23 + Emergencies - Rolling

[JimmyRabbit49]

Might be unpopular but I really can’t see where Docherty fits in our best 23 next year

Newman Weitering McGovern
Saad JSos Cowan
Docherty Walsh Acres(Ollie while inj)
Elijah Mckay Fogarty
Kemp Charlie durdin OR Motlop

TDK Cripps Hewett

Cerra, pick 3, 7th defender, Moir etc.

I don't need to think too hard to see Doch to me is almost certainly on a wing or the 7th defender off the bench.

Not saying you're wrong here but that would be the slowest team of all bloody time. Something we've been told we're looking to change next year.

Can't imagine we go into next season with so few changes to the 22

No... It wouldn't...

Midfield of cerra Walsh Cripps Hewett pick 3 is going to happen. It's also not slow. Not fast. Not slow

Wings of acres / Docherty / Ollie / maaaaybe pick 3 and Binns will happen. Not slow.

Half backs of Saad and Cowan - not slow.

McKay's probably the fastest tall in the league. Kemp and Moir are fast. TDK is dynamic.

Are we just going to judge this team on the back half of last year when not a one of them could run let alone fit enough to run consistently at speed.

And our 22 changed so much every week due to injury and all sorts this team is nothing like any team we put out at any stage of the year so I don't have a clue what you mean by that either.

I’d have O Hollands as the 7th defender and Binns on the wing over Docherty.

Also have both Durdin and Motlop ahead of Fogarty

Some fair points, I feel like the coaching team will be pushing hard to get Lord and Wilson into the team or get one of Hewett/Cerra out of the core midfield mix.

I also trust EP's info as much as any, but I just struggle to see JSOS getting games at CHB. He's not equipped athletically for the best KPFs in the comp.

The great thing about footy is everyone has an opinion. I love reading different perspectives and some of my favourite posters are people who see the game differently. Makes for enjoyable reading.

But anyone who think Moir or Wilson or Lord are locks for next year doesn’t know what lock means or where we are at as a club (must win mode).

I sincerely hope all 3 push their way into the team and have great seasons and completely understand people have them in their best 22 but they are far from locks!

I’d say in order of probability, at least for the first chunk of the season is:
1 Moir
2 Lord
3 Wilson

That being said, yet to actually see Wilson. Who knows.

Would be pretty stoked if all 3 have forced their way into the team, like the attributes they bring.

I’d say there’s a lot of hope in this thread rather than genuine opinions.

For example Jack Silvagni is apparently our best CHB option in 2025 despite never spending more than a few minutes down that end of the ground.

It is more about the gaping hole that is there. Kemp/Young/Mcgovern are no chance of filling that hole week in week out. Tried and failed.

We then look to another, and right now, the only other is JSoS. Our list mgmt team have left us short here until we see some add-on rookies.

So a reach yes; and hope for now.

That same hope you have for Moir who did nothing at VFL level the whole year and then showed 2-4 passages of play that were good. I'm hoping too with him. It's Moir for you and JSoS for me.

Moir has played two quarters of AFL football and looked amazing in both. Our VFL side is abysmal.. so good luck to any forward getting a kick in that outfit let alone one in their first year.

In Moir's two quarters at AFL level he's had 8 disposals, kicked 2 goals, laid 3 tackles and taken 2 contested marks. Adjusted per-game averages of 16 disposals, 4 goals and 6 tackles suggest there is a lot of upside.

Meanwhile, you're hoping for a career medium-sized forward in their 9th season, coming fresh off an ACL, to embark on a positional change and hold down CHB despite never playing there.

One is optimism, the other is fantasy.
