State of Origin Best 22's

[cobbly]

Vic:

B:Enright, Scarlett, Morris
HB:Goddard, Petrie, Hodge
C:Bartel, Montagna, Dal Santo
HF:Chapman, Brown, Giansiracusa
F:Goodes, Fevola, Ablett
R: Hille, Judd, Boyd
I/C: Ottens, Mitchell, Gilbee, Selwood

P.S. this took forever

I'm sure it did take forever but come on, Ablett cant get in the middle?

Dump Dal Santo, put ablett in the middle. And put a forward pocket in, not sure who, maybe Milne.

Swan on the bench instead of mitchell. Heath Shaw in the back pocket instead of morris.

Then I think the side is looking better.

Don't really like the look of Petrie in there but not sure who to put in.

ill do the old hey wheres my teams player

wellingham for WA

its a shame state of origin is dead. be some quality matches, im pretty sure vic against sa or wa would be close to filling the mcg too

3 Collingwood players across 4 SOO teams...we must be really shyte!

 

[LeeARM]

They should replace the NAB cup with SoO. It would be far more interesting.

 

[eskimo]

James Frawley not even short listed?

Good work though. That must have taken a fair while to do. Maybe as people suggest other possible inclusions on the short list you could update??

Surely Frawley gets a gig before Petrie at CHB? Petrie can't even run without breaking his foot! Frawley contesting for one of the best defenders so far this year.

 

[eskimo]

Also don't mean to nitpick, but you have Ottens listed on the bench for both VIC and SA?

 

[Smyth94]

Glass wouldn't make the WA 22 - Pears and Taylor would be the two KP defenders.

 

[wotdoiput]

Clit Jones should start in the square, whos Van Berlo? Drop him.

You dont know who Van Berlo is? Do you watch footy?

Good job OP.

 

[Notorious_29]

Any coach would select him as well as Sandilands and Cox.

He is 10th on the AFLCA Player of the Year leaderboard. Sandilands is 1st. Cox is well back.

I don't see what use he would be in the forward line, he can't mark the ball and his kicking wouldn't be good enough. Sandilands and Cox are much better ruckmen at this stage, Cox is just working up his match fitness. It would be a wasted position to have Naitanui in the forward line when you could have a good small forward crumbing at Franklin and Kennedy's feet.

 

[Cicatriz]

You might as well also put Ottens in the combined team, he's from the Territory.

 

[Riggy1]

Pretty sure Enright and Ottens are South Australian?

Lucky that Goodes qualifies under the "Carey Rule".

Sorry if they are, but I did look through every senior listed player in the AFL, bound to make a few mistakes

You named Enright in the list for South Australia
then counted them both in South Australia and Victoria

if you give me an accurate list of every single player than ill do my own

 

[Riggy1]

Also don't mean to nitpick, but you have Ottens listed on the bench for both VIC and SA?

He knows Victoria is shit and needs the extra help

 

[RedFeather]

They should replace the NAB cup with SoO. It would be far more interesting.

I definitely agree with this, the complications of the NAB cup with 18 teams is a perfect time to have SoO in and the preseason competition out.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Nice thread. All the lazy people just complaining about the OP and criticising the teams etc....if you don't like it then it's a forum, so post YOUR teams.

FWIW, here is how I would have it:

HB: Hodge Tarrant Goddard
C: Swan Bartel Dal Santo
HF: Higgins Brown Chapman
F: Ablett Fevola Milne
Foll: Goodes Judd J.Selwood
Int: Hille Gilbee Pendlebury Montagna
Emg: Watson Boak Gray

South Australia:

B: Johncock Lake Hurn
HB: S.Fisher Grundy Enright

[pazza]

Make 1 change to the above..out Corey (and into the SA line-up)...put Swan in the Vics side and have Watson as Vic emergency.

 

[drummond2fevola]

You dont know who Van Berlo is? Do you watch footy?

Good job OP.

Do I watch footy? Really?
And of course I know who Van Berlo is, my statement was said tongue in cheek as no way is Van Berlo SoO caliber.

So as I said, drop him.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Good points, except Corey is actually from WA when I just checked, updated!

 

[The Wrecker]

No Aaron Davey in the All-stars?

 

[silk]

Would have thought Mark Mcveigh would be in the All Star team.

Also would probably put Monfries in over Westhoff for the SA team.

Also Pearce would in the SA team over C Cornes and Russel I would have thought.

 

[RickSanchez]

B: Broughton Taylor Hargrave
HB: O'Brien McPharlin Duffield
C: Wells Corey Hill
HF: Palmer Kennedy Ryder/Nat
F: Le Cras Franklin Davis
Foll: Sandilands Black Kerr
Int: Cox Bateman Jones Cassisi
Emg: NicNat/Ryder Swallow Glass

Ryder/Nat at HFF because I'd rather Davis at FP because he can crumb and Ryder/Nat are pretty mobile going up to the wing etc, but I am sure there are better options for that spot, even if its like a Wells/Hill to the HFF then Bateman to a wing. I'd have cox in the forward line but only probably as a pocket, not as mobile as the others, not having a dig as he is a gun but you get what I mean in regards to the others I've put ahead in that spot.

 

[Average Joe]

Nice work OP. Imagine the caning that South Australian side would give the Vics! Football really does need another E. J. Whitten to fire this up again.

 

[DragonLass]

Lewis Roberts-Thomson should be in the NSW/QLD side, easily. At the very least, on the shortlist.
Also there's no way Koschitzke should get a start in ANY top 22, let alone a representative side.

 

[Invigoration]

Good points, except Corey is actually from WA when I just checked, updated!

Good stuff, you've put together some pretty strong teams, can't fault most of it.
I'd have Wellingham before a fair few in your WA team, including Corey, Kerr etc.

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

Vic:

B:Enright, Scarlett, Morris
HB:Goddard, Petrie, Hodge
C:Bartel, Montagna, Dal Santo
HF:Chapman, Brown, Giansiracusa
F:Goodes, Fevola, Ablett
R: Hille, Judd, Boyd
I/C: Ottens, Mitchell, Gilbee, Selwood

I have many issues with your post but I'll restrict myself to two.

Giansiracusa on a HFF ahead of Boomer Harvey is genuinely laughable.

Like seriously, hilarious.

And to prove I'm not 'bias', I reckon the Vics could find someone better than Drew at CHB, especially given he hasn't played there regularly for well over a season.

Agreed, I reckon Beamsy could sneak into the AS team too.

Also not sure why Davey is in the Vic team, he is from NT?
