Monfries out, Welsh in. He has shown nothing in the Bank-sponsored Cup to suggest he should be named as a first choice on-baller.

 

[angus6]

i dont think neagle will be in the side just yet. would wait and see how he goes for bendigo.

not sure if rama is afl ready yet either may need a couple more games under his belt. the question with him is where is his best position? i dont believe he is suited to a back pocket.

i think slattery should be out but then again the question is who plays that back pocket position.

i believe peverill and welsh both deserve to play. as does leroy jetta.

JJ? is he ready or needs a few more games under his belt as we know he did start the pre season late

are you serious? his first two nab games were great. admit he was of the boil tonight but he wasnt the only one. and dont blame him for that last free kick either. there were other instances in the game that could have changed the results and it only involved essendon players and not the umpires

INT: Jason Laycock, Leroy Jetta, Courtenay Dempsey, Jason Johnson

Jason Winderlich out due to rib injury.

 

[adamcf]

Sorry mate, Angus hadn't done much in any of the 3 games.. except crucial turn overs and basic skill errors. He's not a defender, he's not an on-baller and as a crumbing forward he's not but tap either. Not sure where to fit him in.

I'd play Neagle before Johns however, so if there's a spot for 1 extra tall up forward then he'd get a pozzie.

Wouldn't start Dempsey or Nash at the moment as their attack at the footy was ok, however, their disposal left a lot to be desired. One thing is getting the pill another is hitting a target.

 

[hulld]

monfries sucks. he has had enough chances. i am a sick of him

 

[SirJimi05]

ROFL at people jumping off Monfries after one average game.

I am willing to bet anyone $100 that he will be in the team come round 1.

Any takers?

McPhee and Winderlich not considered due to injury concerns.
Lovett not considered for disciplinary reasons.

 

[DonMania#5]

Mcphee should be allright for Round 1, he probably would have played this week if it was a home and away game.

did you know on the 16th feb 2008 we played a game of footy against brisbane lions?
you must not , because if you did you would of seen angus be in our top 3 players

He did some great work out of the centre last week also.

A monty for round one.

 

[dave_27]

Welsh and Lovett-Murray in particular are certs for round 1.

Dempsey has alot of work to do and isnt in my round 1 side to be honest.

Mate, I'll repeat it again. He has shown nothing to suggest he is a FIRST CHOICE onballer... even in the first two games. Welsh and Jetta would provide more for round 1 IMHO. And if you dive on the ball and hold it in... it's a free kick... schoolboy error. FWIW I hope he turns it around, he's just not there yet.

Winderlich injured. If ok then might take the spot of Pev or Rama or even Welsh!

Players highlighted are the ones that can make the difference to how we go this year. They can give us pace and run.

Can Dyson translate NAB form and make fools of us and become an AFL player?

Is Houli ready to make an impact as an AFL mid similar to Selwood and Pendlebury last year?

Can Dempsey provide the dash off half back that we've been missing?

On what I've seen so far I think thats the best team we can go with.

 

[lemon chicken]

B. Rama, Mal, Fletcher
HB. Nash, Ryder, Dempsey
C. McVeigh, Houli, McPhee
HF. NLM, Lucas, Jetta
F. Davey, Lloyd, Laycock
R. Hille, Watson, Stanton
I/C Dyson, Welsh, Monfries, Reimers/Slattery(only if a tag is needed)

Lovett and Winderlich automatic in's if available


Probably missed someone.

 

[PressureCooker]

I'm just looking forward to having a settled line up for a few weeks. All this chopping and changing hasn't really shown us much about the team apart from the fact some of our youngsters can stand up from time to time.

I think once we have some consistancy in our team selections, we will have a far better indication as to where we are at as a group.

 

[boms]

well looking at it, its gotta be something like this -

BEST 25

B: SLATTERY – MICHAEL – FLETCHER
HB: NASH – RYDER – LOVETT-MURRAY
C: DYSON – WATSON - WINDERLICH
HF: MCPHEE – LUCAS – WELSH
F: DAVEY – LLOYD – JETTA
R: HILLE – MCVEIGH – STANTON
INT: LAYCOCK – MONFRIES – LOVETT – DEMPSEY
EMG: RAMANUSKAS – HOULI – REIMERS

Both of those are guarenteed to start barring injury. To not have Nash in for round 1 is completely insane.

Is ackinson on rookie list absolute gun IMO good size backs himself in reminds me of Harry O'Brian. Not to impressed with Welsh doesnt do enough for a so called leader, big courtney johns did nothing last night apart from his last quarter goal needs to drasically improve his 2nd and 3rd efforts. I like dempsey and nash running off half back.

 

[boms]

Nope, 3 midfielders in the bench is great while Slatts and Nash do there jobs in defence.

 

[jdwood]

IMO there is absolutely no room for Slattery in the side, he just doesn't bring enough to the table....


FB: Fletcher - Michael - Welsh

HB: Nash - Ryder - NLM

C: Monfries - Watson - Houli

HF: Reimers - Lucas - McPhee

FF: Davey - Lloyd - Jetta

C: Hille - Stanton - McVeigh

Int: Dyson - Laycock - Lovett - Dempsey (I'm not sold on, but conceed he will get a spot)

Emerg: Rama - Pev - Myers

Inj: Winderlich

nash should be started, he has been in our top players every game i played and imo has the best disposal in our team.. i would like neagle to be played, maybe not round 1 but definately should be given a shot early in the year... johns was pathetic last night should not get a game, he is almost certain to be delisted already this year, which is a shame because he has potential.. he just doest work hard enough., your teams pretty ogod i would go in nash, out reimers or peverill
