Swans best 22 for rest of season

[Mitch_Swansrule]

This may have been done but there has been a lot of discussion about the Swans great depth they have this year. Competition for spots is gonna be intense if we have everyone available.

Heres my best 22:

B: Shaw, Grundy, Smith

HB: Rampe Richards Malceski

C: Jetta Kennedy Mcveigh

HF: Goodes Reid McGlynn

F: Mumford Tippett Okeefe

R: Pyke Jack Hannebury

Inter: Bolton, Mitchell, LRT, Sub: Parker

Emerg: Everitt, Bird, Morton

Would be interesting to see other supporters thoughts on their best 22

It's a difficult one because come September the players will pick themselves.
Whoever deserves their spot more than the other bloke will play.
Despite missing required personnel atm, I reckon the Horse would already know what his best 22 for GF day would look like, and I'd think that would be unlikely to change unless injuries/suspension occurs with individuals in that 22.
But his perception of the best 22 may change if any one of them drop form.
The consistent performances from Everitt, Morton, Rampe, Mitchell (and more recently Jesse White) will put pressure from underneath on not only last weekend's 22, but also for the unavailable 'Best 22' players to return throughout the remainder of the season.

I'll give it a crack guessing what Horse's GF best 22 would be right now.

B: LRT - Richards - Smith
HB: Shaw - Grundy - Malceski
C: McVeigh - O'Keefe - Hannebery
HF: Goodes - Reid - Jack
F: McGlynn - Tippett - Mumford
Foll: Pyke, Kennedy, Parker
I/C: Bird, Jetta, Mitchell
Sub: Bolton
Emerg: Everitt, Morton, Rampe

If fit, both Rohan and Johnson would be best 22 but sadly not this year.

Grundy and mumford out? Get real that wont happen

Bird out is unlikely

 

[The King!]

heres my attempt

I decided to put my locks in first and work around it and in the end i was left with one spot to put either LRT, Rampe, Shaw or Everitt

B: Smith, Richards, Malceski
HB: Mcveigh, Grundy, Undecided
C: Hannebery, Okeefe, Jetta
Hf: Mcglynn, Reid, Goodes
F: Pyke, Tippett, Bolton
Foll: Mumford, Kennedy, Jack
Int: Parker, Bird, Morton, Mitchell

Sub to be named

I am in no rush to move mcveigh off half back given he has been stellar there, i leave morton in because he is a goal kicker and x factor needed in finals.

I am not sure why some people drop bird, he is versatile. I think goodes is so agile he can coast around as an extra mid, reid pushes around the ground and i dont think the talls are an issue.

I have presumed Johnson and Rohan are unavailable all year and that shaw lrt rampe and everitt are all ready for selection.

As harsh as it sounds shaw is last in line, with mcveigh malceski and smith i dont really need another small backman.

So to me its LRT, Everitt and Rampe. I am really liking what both Rampe and Everitt bring, but i guess i have the most faith in big games in LRT. I will have to think about that

hopefully i havent left someone obvious out

This would be my Grand Final side, were it to be played next week and assuming all expected players are fit.

Richards, Grundy, LRT​

Shaw, Smith, Malceski​

​

Jetta, Goodes, Hannebery​

Kennedy, Pyke, Jack​

​

Bird, McVeigh, O'Keefe​

McGlynn, Tippet, Reid​

​

IC: Mumford, Bolton, Parker, (sub) Mitchell​

​

Emg: Rampe, Everitt, Morton​

Rotating Mumford, Pyke, Reid off the bench, Reid obviously not rucking, but working up the ground.
For rounds 13 - 23 any of the other mids + Malceski, Shaw could be rested as a sub.

No room for White - although with Mumford out, no LRT and Tippet not match fit for ruck work he may get a reprieve for Port Adelaide.

 

[The King!]

mitchell seems most likely sub at full strength but that seems a waste really.

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

*Apologies for the repost from other thread, just saw this is the appropriate one*

White is both our third ruckman and our third tall forward. I'm thrilled that he's found some form and I hope he continues to play well but for now he's behind Pyke and Mumford in the ruck and Reid and Tippett up forward. Tippett should only be a full forward.

With regard to Everitt, it's him or LRT. The tall utility that was so valuable for us last year. And again, I'm stoked to see Everitt play well so it will be a good fight for that spot if LRT comes up.

The backline is pretty settled and, barring injury, Shaw will find it hard to get back. If he does, it will be for a midfielder and McVeigh will move back into there. Which midfielder I do not know, which is why I think it will be hard for him to get back. Shaw's value is in his penetration. With Tippett anchored up forward maybe with a ruckman, Reid and Goodes on their bikes will be bloody hard to contain and the depth of kicking provided by Shaw won't be as critical. McVeigh and Malceski are far more accurate in that role, even Armstrong although he needs to toughen up a bit.

So I think the unlucky ones, injuries permitting, will be White, Shaw, Morton, and Everitt.

B: Rampe Grundy Smith
HB: McVeigh Richards Malceski
C: Jetta Kennedy O'Keefe
HF: Goodes Reid Bolton
F: McGlynn Tippett Mumford

R: Pyke Hanneberry Jack

Int: Mitchell, Bird, Parker, LRT

Stiff as a honeymooner's pecker: Morton (I'll take consistency over x-factor every time), Shaw (I think the new structure and the emergence of Mitchell has hurt him), Everitt (only room for one tall utility), White (next in if key forward or ruck falls over).

 

[The King!]

the other option is shaw could come into the team as a tagger or even push forward if theres no spot down back.

Just seems such a shame to tinker with malceski and mcveigh working down there.

You almost suspect it wont become an issue the longer time passes, is shaw even coming back

 

[Syd]

...You almost suspect it wont become an issue the longer time passes, is shaw even coming back

Glad I'm not the only one of this opinion.

I suspect that if Shaw's not back by around round 16 or so, they'll put his cue in the rack and surgically fix whats ailing him or give him the rest of the season off to assess his options and ensure the side is stabilised well before finals commence.

Taking Shaw and Mattner out of the equation should solidify Rampe's and Everitt's positions down back and leave McVeigh to run around halfback to effect.

B: Smith, Richards, Roberts-Thomson
HB: McVeigh, Grundy, Malceski
C: Hannebery, Jack, Goodes
HF: Parker, Reid, Bird
F: Morton, Tippett, McGlynn
R: Pyke, Kennedy, O'Keefe

Int: Mumford, Mitchell, Jetta, Bolton

23rd man: Everitt (IE will play pretty much every week)

The most significant points here are:
LRT in as the 3rd tall, shifting Rampe out
No spot for Rampe, with Malaceski, McVeigh and Smith preferred as the 3 small/rebounding defenders
Parker moves ahead of Bolton as the hard midfielder/marking half-forward, Bolton moves to the bench
Bird stays as the defensive forward, Goodes moves to midfield, but Tippett/Reid/Morton gives us 3 very strong forward targets, not including the resting ruckman
Tippett stays forward and does not play in the ruck except for desperate circumstances

I am very skeptical about Shaw playing a meaningful role this year, his initial 1-2 week injury continues to blow out, so at the moment I think it is practical (not desirable) to assume we won't have him.

I'd have Bird as the Sub

That's my team also I want Everitt in there in there but just cant find a spot

 

[Punts]

If the 3 talls don't work Tippett , Pyke , Mummy which a lot of people are saying Roos has said it Carey has said just to name a few we wont no till we try it , Who gets the nod Morton ,Rampe , Everitt , I would go with Everitt tall and fast but wuth LRT in the side maybe not or Morton who can turn a game of his own boot real x factor

 

[Punts]

B: Smith , Richards , LRT
HB: Everitt , Grundy , Malceski
C: McVeigh , Jack , Hannebery
HF: Goodes , Reid , Jetta
F: McGlynn , Tippett , Bolton
R: Mummy, Kennedy , O'Keefe
INT: Bird , Parker , Mitchell , Morton
That's if they go with 1 ruck and Shaw not getting up all year which he is still up in the air, between Mummy and Pyke its a flip of the coin I really don't no will go on form ,Everitt I like at HB due to his Height and speed gives us run and also can take the smalls and talls like AJ , McVeigh back up on the wing and can drift forward like the start of the year and snag a few

There's no chance Pyke misses out. I think they will fit Pyke, Mumford, Tippett and Reid into the 22, and I'd think if Shaw isn't available Rampe has shown enough now to hold a spot. Morton might be the unlucky one, as hard as that is to stomach at the moment, but if Mitchell is to keep his place that might happen. I agree, it's a shocking task, particularly as Shaw and LRT would be in the side if they'd been fit and playing from the start of the season ... but right now you'd have to say they'd be in serious doubt due to injury.
It's a great position for the club to be in.

I was only saying if they go with the 1 ruck , and as I have said before I think Morton will find it hard to hold his spot if they go with the 3 talls and Reid which I think they will ,I picked Everitt over Rampe because of Everitt being taller and just as quick and probly a better kick and decision maker and also can hit the scoreboard but I think Rampe tackles harder and is better 1 on 1 than Everitt but that's just my opion im sure the coaching staff no better than me and will have the best team on the park

Yeh I like that team but the coaches would want a 7th defender. If we had those 23 guys only to pick from for a final, I think it's almost certain Everitt would play and go into defence and Morton or Bolton would miss. Probably Morton unfortunately.
