Time to vote on defenders

B Back Pocket - Full Back - Back Pocket
HB Half Back - Center Half Back - Half Back

As with the last poll I've included anyone reasonably expected to play defense

 

[George Kramer]

But I want Dawson on the wing

 

[Bearded Clam]

Ive picked MM over Worrell.. as Josh is currently injured.

If Josh wasnt injured I’d have him in the side..

Then I noticed others have picked Worrell..

I sort of thought this exercise was to pick the best team for round 1… thus injured players like worrell would be omitted from being picked..

 

[dogs105]

But I want Dawson on the wing

I want Rachele on the ball. Since its a hypothetical exercise, let's just imagine both of them spending lots of time there during the game.


Also, in my imagination. Fog has kicked 12 so far

’s been dropped like a hot potato..

He had a great game against freo then a completely different player donned his guernsey for the WC game.. fumbled nearly everything that came his way!.. almost looked like a debut player that is lacking confidence.

Needs to start in the SANFL to get it back.

 

[Bearded Clam]

So..

Currently, as its looking, the sanfl side is going to have the likes of;

Milera
Sloane
Jones
Taylor
Nankervis
Cook
Mchenry
Mcpherson
Hamill
Keane
Newchurch
Murphy
Mcrouch
Himmelburg/TT

Playing in it..

Plus youngsters like bond and dowling (when his foot recovers)

Plus Wright, Magden and the very good top ups we had last year like mckenzie etc..

Hahahaha… the SANFL umpires will have to work their biased bullshit magic on overdrive to compensate!

We should absolutely pummel most teams.

Yes SANFl will be fun to watch. Problem is nobody goes to watch.

 

[Bearded Clam]

I’d love to go and watch..

Love the old sanfl footy grounds and their heritage..

I dont live in SA though!

I have to be honest I go to far more SANFL live games than AFL

 

[Dangerousfield]

Going to be a quality bench. We've really progressed since R1 last year, no spuds in the best 22 any more

 

[Jeffcrowe]

But I want Dawson on the wing

Also not sure why we’d waste Soligo’s talent in confined spaces on the wing

I wonder how many 50 possessions games Matt Crouch will have , looks primed to absolutely dominate

Ya reckon ? I saw one fumble on a ground ball on the members wing but otherwise pretty ok , not as good as week before though

That kick to Pedlar I50 was sublime … his decision making is v good for that role

Him and Hinge are locks for round 1 on wing then see how he goes

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I want Rachele on the ball. Since its a hypothetical exercise, let's just imagine both of them spending lots of time there during the game.


Also, in my imagination. Fog has kicked 12 so far

Rachele will be starting in centre square like he has every trial game so far

 

[dogs105]

Rachele will be starting in centre square like he has every trial game so far

So, can Fog still kick 12?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

So, can Fog still kick 12?

7 …. PB

If Taylor takes our Taylor

Watch the replay.. he fumbles on atleast three seperate occasions.. he even got “nutmegged” at one point..
although that was on the end of a dodgy keays handball that didnt make it easy!..

 

[Bearded Clam]

I have to be honest I go to far more SANFL live games than AFL

I definitely would if I was living in SA..

I grew up going to the footy on Saturday arvo’s at the old urban SANFL grounds.. loved them.

If I lived in Adelaide I’d take my two young sons to watch the crows sanfl side..

Yeh I wouldn’t worry about your tigers

 

[Bearded Clam]

Yeh I wouldn’t worry about your tigers

They were bloody good in the late 70’s and 80’s when I used to go to SANFL games!…

Used to flog those redleg losers!

 

[Slippery Pete]

I don’t think this series has enough parts for us to build a winning side

 

[Slippery Pete]

They were bloody good in the late 70’s and 80’s when I used to go to SANFL games!…

Mate… you’re dreaming

[martyparty]

They were bloody good in the late 70’s and 80’s when I used to go to SANFL games!…

Late 70s.. When the Redlegs won those premierships? And knocked off Hawthorn?
