Best 22 for 2014

[Blue Life]

I know most of us are very focussed on 2012 as I am but I thought It might be interesting to have a crack at how our side might look in 2014. From the current list I can only really see us losing Scotland with Waite's fate dependent upon injuries/ suspensions & form. Naturally come 2014 guys like carrots (final year for him), juddy and simmo will be beginging to slow down whilst players such as Yarran, Hendo, Gibbs, Kruzer, Warnock, Robbo Garlett will hit their peaks (Murph is already threabouts). At this time we will also see players such as watson, lucas, tuhoy and mitchell all become regular 22 players. As Watson develops I can see Hendo being swung back to CHF forming a nice combo with Mitchell (barring any more shoulder mishaps). Some may question my inclusion of Joseph, but he really came of age in the last few rounds of 2011 and I can only see him gaining in confidence from here on in. Below looks a very strong side with a great mix of youth and experience.

FB: Laidler - Watson - Tuohy
CHB: Joseph - Jamo - Lucas
C: Yarran - Judd - Simpson
CHF: Walker - Hendo - Kruzer
FF: Garlett - Mitchell - Betts
R: Warnock - Gibbs - Murphy

I/C: Carrazzo, Russell, Robinson
SUB: Waite

Next tier would be the likes of Hammer, Ellard, Davies, MCcarthy, Bower, Duigan Curnow, Buckley ect

[zeeCFC]

Yeah nuh one year at a time.

 

[LanceRomance]

You haven't got Deledio and Goddard listed?

 

[HBF]

You haven't got Deledio and Goddard listed?

It's gotten to the stage now where I'd be surprised if Goddard isn't at Carlton in 2013.

 

[thylacine60]

There's a little something not many people know about him...

 

[HARKER]

This Johnnie Walker Double Black is going to allow me to have a shot at this one. Let's see.

Joseph Jamison Laidler
Tuohy McCarthy Russell
Yarran Gibbs Bootsma
Collins Henderson Kerr
Walker Hampson Garlett
Kreuzer Judd Murphy
Lucas Robinson Waite Heyne

Retired or other by 2014: Carrazzo, Scotland, Duigan, Simpson and Thornton.

What next? Someone putting up an AA squad for 2012?

 

[thylacine60]

Not sure a player's drinking issues are relevant, Harkmanistan. Shame.

That's easy for you to say.

Nother milestone spinning round for us, Harks. Spinning round too quick I say.

 

[Silvagnis]

Collins will release Gibbs to the Northern Blues.

Anyone can tag and play on the flanks whilst using the ball well.

He reminds me a bit of Stanton......

Bit harsh on Kade who will only be 30 and a one club player

Luke?

You should be carded if you're comparing Gibbs to Stanton.

 

[OnceWeWereKings]

I know Waite's body/temperament has frustrated us over the years. But our forwardline looks bloody good.
