Best 22 - 2022

[Fat Pizza]

Good question about the rucks. At this stage, I’m thinking Moyle 60% & Chol 40%. I saw Moyle play against Zac Smith

in the VFL & he did quite well. NicNat & Gawn are a different prospect though. Let’s hope Witts is ready for round 1.

I remember watching Chol ruck against Natinui last year and holding his own quite well.

I think Chol had an off night against Burgess, Chol is a much better ruckman than Burgess IMO.

 

[Supersuns]

Chol would be the go-to with Casboult as the break glass

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Any reason why Jack Lukosius

is in the forward line?

 

[KaySwizzle]

Any reason why Jack Lukosius is in the forward line?

He was drafted as a forward. They called him “Deadeye” or something like that because he was so accurate. Hopefully now he’s put on some size he is ready to go back there.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

He was drafted as a forward. They called him “Deadeye” or something like that because he was so accurate. Hopefully now he’s put on some size he is ready to go back there.

It’s interesting that his goal kicking from set shots has been quite poor so far in his career to date.

he’s obviously a lovely kick. Can see him leading the team in goal assists.

 

[KaySwizzle]

I think it might be from fatigue playing as a defender and pushing up the ground and also then how far out he always goes for goal, as he seems to be kicking for outside 50 more often than not. Hopefully this improves.

If not, he might play more of a half-forward role and also assist along the wing. More perfectly weighted kicks for goal assists never hurt!

 

[Supersuns]

Just on Luko, he has seriously put on some size, especially across the shoulders. I think he is ready to go forward.

A lot of factors why his goal kicking isn’t good right now. But the big one is he would of trained with the defenders and wingers for 2 years and not practiced 100x set shots a day at training like Ben.

He’s pretty good at Goals on the run

 

[Blue train 28]

Very keen to see Alex Davis, Elijah Holland’s next year in your 22. It’s time these young lads in there 3-4 years push out the blokes that have filled a role for the suns waiting for these kids to develop. Hopefully they can have big preseasons

DAVIS , AINSWORTH , CORBETT , FIRONI.

Team I posted earlier a couple of months back, I think Flanders, Constable probably come in for a couple on the bench.
I think Constable will play a lot of senior football for GC next year

I know a few others who think the same with regards to Constable. Flanders is one I’m also hoping comes on. No room for Sexton, Bowes, Markov, Jeffrey or Sharp either shows our depth might finally be on the improve.

Swap Weller for Lukosius and Markov for Bowes with Sharp onto the wing.
Ainsworth (who's not in this blokes best 27) for Rosas and Fiorini for Casboult.

Looks bloody huge right now, got a taste last year, low number. Spot available, ready to go.

Big body midfielder > Constable

That is how I would be rolling at the moment. If Thompson is fit, that would change the make up quite a bit.

Could have squeezed Hollands in as well, will see how he goes in the pre-season games.

I like this mate! And agree on Hollands. Hate to say it because I love the man, but maybe Elijah in for Holman?

Ideally, if we are to progress as a team Holman shouldn't be a best 22 player by year's end. Can sneak a goal and is as hard as anyone in the AFL. But more talented players like Flanders and Hollands should be developing past him.

Yeah 100%. Nick would be ok with that too. He is such a team first player and would be pretty proud of what he has accomplished in his rebirth at the SUNS
