Prediction The Carlton Consensus Best 22 – 2019 Edition - THE VOTES ARE IN

[El Topo]

I too blame the peons who voted for Pickett in the forward line. Lift, people!!

 

[TerryWallet]

O'Brien and Walsh are in my Best 18. Thomas and Bugg battle for my 22nd spot.

I give my vote in this exercise to Walsh after i tossed a coin between he and Lochie.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

I went with LO’b for the last bench spot.

He has the versatility to play with run out of defense as well as from the wing, and puts his body on the line. Works well swapping with Williamson.

So close with Walsh.

My 4 emergencies are Walsh, Garlett, Jack Silvagni and Cuningham.

 

[RedFury]

Walsh will street this in. Swap Pickett for LOB and you've got our best side imo. Not sure wtf people were thinking with Pickett.

 

[thylacine60]

I just thought.........never mind........

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

It's ridiculous that Pickett is even named at this point. O'Brien for mine, as we look bereft of elite pace and outside ability.

Agree

I agree. He's a long way back. If he's best 22 after doing bugger all for two years and coming back from preseason fat then our list has the depth of a paddling pool.

We chose him ahead of Walsh? Good grief

 

[Jimmae]

I'm just putting it out there.

If Bolts wants the win, he may play Lang, Newman, Thomas, Bugg and Fasolo in the same side.

Beats the shit out of Graham, Buckley, Smedts, Lamb and Palmer

 

[RedFury]

Out:
Byrne, Wright (retired)
Casboult, Jack Silvagni, Cuningham (omitted)

It's nice to see that last year we didn't pick anyone that ended up being de-listed. Shows we are maybe, perhaps somewhat competent as a group

 

[Jabba73]

Would like to know if our best 22 from last season actually played a game together or not.

 

[Jeremias]

Would like to know if our best 22 from last season actually played a game together or not.

Consensus best 22?

No, given Williamson was voted in on the bench but didn't play a senior game in 2018.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Would like to know if our best 22 from last season actually played a game together or not.

Consensus best 22?

No, given Williamson was voted in on the bench but didn't play a senior game in 2018.

And Thomas was not in our 2018 Consensus 22 and played seniors all year.

 

[gandaal]

And Thomas was not in our 2018 Consensus 22 and played seniors all year.

He'll likely get picked ahead of Williamson and Pickett from this team in reality.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

And Thomas was not in our 2018 Consensus 22 and played seniors all year.

It was a consensus decision to leave him out two years running. The loathing runs deep.

Walsh Is Our Man

Coming to the surprise of absolutely nobody, Number 1 Pick Sam Walsh is the final man in our Consensus 22. Perhaps the most AFL ready kid to come through the draft in years, Sam will make a huge impact from Day 1 and almost certainly lineup against the Tigers in Round 1. His running ability and class will be clear, as well as his footy smarts and penchant to get to contest after contest. Walsh was a clear #1 in the draft and here as our 22nd man with over 50% of all votes.

Playing 20 games in his debut season, Lochie O'Brien was a clear 2nd and fills the first EMG spot, however many see him also lining up in Round 1 as a starter - his professionalism, sharp kicking and endurance an asset to the senior team.

Veteran Dale Thomas, 3rd year player Dave Cuningham and ex-Demon Tom Bugg round out our 'Best 26' and are all tipped to play senior footy in 2019.

Thank you to everyone for engaging, voting and discussing our 22 for another year. It's always a pleasure to run this thread. However, in 2019 I'll be stepping back and watching CJMB take the reigns to guide our 2020 Consensus 22. I'll be voting and following with great interest.

Finally, thanks to Jeremias and Aphrodite for their speedy assistance and modding the last few years.

Consensus Love,

Matty

[I bleed Blue]

Great job Matty.

I think its consensus that Matty411 gets tops votes for a job well done!

Oh, you can stay. Give me all the votes in the POTY and we can take this party to the next level.

My vote for POTY is going to MEB_



Sorry, I got mixed up. MEB gets my vote for Potty Mouth. Carry on....

 

[passmark]

Encouraging to see Pickett still held in reasonably high regard and a bit surprised to see O'Brien out.

Judging from the reports Walsh will be one of the first picked.

 

[thylacine60]

Matty Boy - gun job - now to print it out and slip it under bolts' front door - he'll think it's another invite to the little people's street party

If I was to hazard a guess for round 1, I'd probably expect Lochie & Daisy to be named at the expense of Pickett and another... who that is I'm not quite sure... Setters maybe. Willo, Newman or even Fasolo seem possible, although I'd expect the three of them to be named.

Picking a 22 seems much harder this year than the last few. That's a bloody good sign.

We'll get our favourite investigative reporter and closed session specialist, HARKER to do it. Might be hard from up in QLD.

Alternatively, anyone mates with him on Twitter? Could slip it into his DMs.

Soapy V - if you can move past the disappointment of Lochie missing out, you could send it on
