Prediction Best 22 for Round One, 2017

[CoggaRules]

One thing about the best 22 sides I'm seeing is that KPP are still lacking and the backline looks vulnerable .

They have placed enormous faith in Astbury. Relentlessly pursuing vindication for the premature ejaculation of handing him the coveted no 12

 

[Goldust]

CAN'T believe not one poster has S. Edwards at CHF.
Given he's been picked there every Thursday night for the past three years, as well as (when fit) Bachar Houli at CHB, a lot of people are a long way off.

Almost as bad as Wallet giving TV the no.29. At least with Astbury they matched the size and if Richo was around we are certain DH would have played him FB.

Can't believe I forgot Batchelor. Out Conca, in Batchelor.

 

[Tango67]

Batchelor couldn't get a game last season for a reason....... he is no good
We have 2 new mids walking into the side plus Short, Markov and Costanza all should push for selection so people willl be missing out, guys like Conca, Ellis x2, Grigg, Batchelor will need to play and train very well to get a spot IMO

This is on the proviso that everyone is fit and available.

FB: Grimes - Astbury - Vlastuin
HB: Houli - Rance - Yarran
C: BEllis - Cotchin - McIntosh
HF: Martin - Griffiths - Edwards
FF: Rioli - Riewoldt - Lloyd
RUC: Hampson - Prestia - Caddy
INT: Nankervis, CEllis, Markov, Grigg
EMG: Menadue, Conca, Drummond

Unlucky due to new recruits - Miles

Only thing that worries me is that we may be too tall with Hampson, Griff and Nankervis.
Vlastuin will rotate through the midfield, as will Corey Ellis.
Markov will be playing HF.

Don't mind it.

Pretty close I think but would happily go in with just Nank and Griff given the run and gun style of footy. Similar setup to Roughy and Boyd.

Of your 22 I would hope Menadue comes in Grigg because he is beating down the door. Menadue is quality and as long as he learns to find the footy I think he will be an A grae wingman (big call but really rate him).

If Menadue/McIntosh/C.Ellis/Markov take the next step and Yarran comes back fully fit I think we will be building a very good side.

 

[Bobby Sands]

When do we start flying going these guys at training?

Batchelor was 9th in the 2015 best & fairest, had a calf in the 2016 preseason, shoulder & hamstring during the year.
Easily best 22 as a lock down back.

That should straighten us up.Massive in to replace Conca.Wow cannot wait Guru.

Do you really believe Conca will play more than 5 games a year for the remainder of his afl career?

We still might get more games out of yarran than conca!

Between the lot of them i reckon we will get 5-10games if our injury list hits a record high.Two of those blokes deserve to be delisted and the other bloke didn't play a game last year and has struggled since 2014.

Geez we have depth now.. can't fit in C Ellis, Menadue, Lennon, Castagna, Drummond...

 

[bandwagon_33]

Yep Caddy and Prestia are good pick
ups. Yarran very doubtful to play. It's going to be the fact we have too many C grade players still that will hold us back. I still count about 9

Name and shame the C's...could any bump themselves to a B- next year?

Forgot about Short in my team.
Grigg's spot under threat or we go in with one less tall.
Interesting. Depth is there now, quality of the depth is younger which is a positive.

KPD are the big problem, I refuse to put Astbury in a best 22. Therefore have to go with Batchelor and Grimes as 2nd and 3rd tall defenders.
Hunt will send alarm bells to most, but aside from his career low shocker against Collingwood in R2, his season wasn't bad and I would have him there ahead of Short, until another much maligned player, in Morris gets back from reco.
Time for Vlaustin and C Ellis to step up and be midfielders. First round draft picks shouldn't be eased into the AFL by playing 5 years across half back. Prove yourself in the midfield or be prepared for the trade table at years end.
Hampson has to start as no. 1 Ruckman, although I hope Nankervis puts in a huge preseason and ousts him. Hampson, for all that he does well, is to immobile to get to enough contests. That's what Nankervis needs to do. Get to every contest and make a presence, like Mumford. That will see him takeover as no. 1.

 

[guruisatiger]

Love your dangerous spirit of adventure. The forward six combination makes me tremble. I would name Rance at CHB and let the oppo guess, **** 'em.
He probably could dominate a game from BP. Wouldn't be surprised,

Thanks. Rance is only named in bp he would play anywhere in defence. If caddy and Prestia play to the best of there ability and we can turn vlaustin into a genuine mid. Then there is no reason why cotch and Dusty could not play over 50% forward and if they do there's 100 goals between them for the year
My big wish is to see dusty one out in goal square. With Jack and Daniel not to far away. Don't want jack anywhere near the defensive 50 . and don't want dusty getting cheap useless stats in the midfield. Just hope the match comiteee see it this way. It's a well balanced team not to tall. Lots of run and skill.
C.Moore if given a chance will be a ripper

Just give dusty the whole foward 50 arch to himself - unstoppable beast 1 on 1. Jack just slots anything from outside 50 and griff slots them from beyond the centre square. Its just a dream but it sounds good.
Rance is just rance - give him all six opposition forwards at once and he will beat them all and play xbox on the big screen at the same time.

Agree Batchelor is not ideal, but I can't have Astbury. Lets hope we can draft a KPD who is ready to step straight in!

Astbury over batchelor any day

Ever since his performance in the Elimination final against Norf, I have no interest in him playing at AFL level.
