Buckley to back pocket, Simmo to wing, BB to bench.

Uh what?4 goals is not a big enough impact for you?
He could maybe improve his consistency in having an impact, but to say 4 goals is not a big enough impact on a game, or he has never had an impact on a game IMO is a bit harsh !!
Bell may not be as polished as your Judds, Gibbs and Murphy's but he is a big bodied, goal kicking mid who can certainly play a role. If others are keeping Bell out of our best 22 either his form has dropped or our clubs depth has grown considerably !!
If Boekhorst and Cripps are to be used from the get go, that may just top us up with newbies to start the season given Sheehan and Docherty are more likely than not to be involved also, so:
Simpson Jamison White .............. Feel pretty confident that all three player will be in the back-line.
Docherty Rowe Sheehan.............. Starting to feel that Sheehan may just get the jump on Tuohy, but nothing to qualify that.
Yarran Gibbs Boekhorst................ Have seen nothing of Boekhorst to suggest he's an in but I think he may well be.
Walker Henderson Thomas........... All three not at peak last year for injury. Would be a dream line should they all be clear of injury.
Menzel Casboult Jones.................. Pretty good idea that all three will be involved.
Kreuzer Judd Murphy ................. Again, it would be a dream to have all three injury-free.
Curnow Everitt Cripps Carrazzo... Cripps will be worked into our team sooner than later.
It's pretty tough to not have Bell, Tuohy and Buckely in the side but at whose expense and why?
Tutt, Whiley and Graham will also have claims for round 1.
Let me just say this, Malthouse didn't have any taggers @ the pies in 2009 and 2010 !! At most he had run with players (not had tags) who did jobs when opposition players needed to be nullified at various stages !! Everrit and Whiley can probably be our run with player when needed. If you got players who can find and use the footy very well, then why do you need a hard tagger ? You don't need to tag anyone when you have the ball in your hands more than the opposition. WE become the HUNTED !! It's nothing against Curnow at all and I'm not trying to undersell his effort and endeavour at all !! I'm just trying to explain myself !!
I would like to see either Tuohy or Docherty become our defensive forward this year. Mainly so Sheehan is guaranteed a run in the backline!I would really, really like to see Tuohy played more forward this year. One of our best kicks, especially around goals.
Back line looking pretty solid and this could be the change he needs.
If given a good run of playing hff, I can see him kicking 30+ goals this season.

Lets hope we can STRING a few wins together then!!

Sounds like a good theory.
Nah Simon White is rightfully left out, shouldn't we playing someone younger than carrazo? I think we need some young blood in that posi? Maybe throw Whiley in there and start that development!!B: Zach Tuohy, Michael Jamison, Dylan Buckley
HB: Chris Yarran, Sam Rowe, Kade Simpson
C: Ed Curnow, Bryce Gibbs, Andrew Carrazzo
HF: Andrejs Everitt, Levi Casboult, Andrew Walker
F: Troy Menzel, Lachie Henderson, Dale Thomas
FOLL: Matthew Kreuzer, Chris Judd, Marc Murphy
INT: Sam Docherty, Tom Bell, Patrick Cripps
SUB: Blaine Boekhorst
Couldn't fit Liam Jones or Jason Tutt.....yet.
Also Simon White, stiff.
Win the first few games and we would have made a quantum leap in terms of performance

we are betterJust because I'm bored I decided to come up with a best 22 to match up on the Hawthorn premiership team. Now, this may not technically be our best 22 but it is an attempt to line up like for like players wherever possible just to assess our list against the benchmark team who have the best list balance in the competition.
(This is not a matchup. It is who would play in the same positions for us compared to the Hawks lineup.)
FF: Puopolo/Tutt, Gunston/Jones, Hale/Casboult
CHF: Breust/Menzel, Roughead/Henderson, Rioli/Walker
C: Smith/Thomas, Burgoyne/Gibbs, Hill/Yarran
CHB: Suckling/Simpson, Gibson/Rowe, Hodge/Buckley
FB: Birchall/Docherty, Lake/Jamison, Stratton/Jaksch
Bench: Shiels/Whiley, Spangher/Everitt, Duryea/Tuohy, Langford/Curnow
Lets hope we can STRING a few wins together then!!
