To the two people who have left out Picken: please never apply for a job on our match committee.

I picked Liam in the forward 6.

Oops. You shall receive a full pardon and my strongest recommendation to Peter Gordon for a future role in the match committee.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

I picked Liam in the forward 6.

So did I. But as he didn't make it, I put him on the pine. You don't think he gets a spot there if he's not a forward?

 

[murphy2bedabest]

this is the hardest too pick, Mclean and Dunkley don't deserve to lose their spot in the team, you'd think that both of them with another preseason will improve and have more consistency in 2017, as will Cordy. Then you have guys like williams webb honeychurch Smith and lynch will make strong claims in 2017.

I/c Picks,

Picken, Dunkley. Cordy and Caleb Daniel. All for flexibility and a bit is speed

wow Picken on the pine

 

[X_box_X]

Biggs is so stiff to miss there.

 

[DroopStDanny]

Fletch, Caleb, Picken. Wallis to nudge out Dunks with experience. When those blokes don't get picked until the bench, then we really do have an embarrassment of riches on our list.

 

[Sharkey66]

I love Wallis as a player but I think that we are just a more balanced side without him.

 

[timtamWB]

Isn't there anyone who cares about Sid the Sloth?

 

[murphy2bedabest]

wow Picken on the pine

to be fair we will see guys like libba macrae boyd ect starting on the pine at times

suckling is the big one for mine, its hard getting him into the best 25 let alone the starting 18.

can really see him at the backend of the season starting to take over from boyd down back

 

[Charlie Bucket]

No

No chance Wallis ends up a HBF.

I must say,and I have made the point before,that this is where I also see Wallis ending up. To me he seems the right choice to replace Boyd and seems a versatile enough player.

 

[ScragCity]

Wallis is too good as a mid/fwd to play him as a defender. I haven't looked up his stats but he seems to kick a really healthy amount of goals for a midfielder. Also, Champion Data rates him elite in his current position so there's that.

With our abundance of midfielders I can see him easily covered and I can see a few coming through that could also be better. Your goals comment is correct IMO and something I've considered,his forward craft also,both at ground level and in the air for his size I consider very much underrated.
I really rate having a solid,no frills defender and I think Wallis would be perfect for the role.

Not that I don't agree with that but champion data also rates Shane Edwards and Josh Caddy as elite, their system is flawed.

 

[murphy2bedabest]

No

did you think the same about Matty Boyd ?

 

[ScragCity]

Not that I don't agree with that but champion data also rates Shane Edwards and Josh Caddy as elite, their system is flawed.

Or maybe its your perception of them that is flawed. Caddy tore us to pieces when Selwood was out last year.

 

[Yojimbo]

Isn't there anyone who cares about Sid the Sloth?

I had him in my back six, i cannot believe people still have Dale Morris
playing KPD and not as the versatile third tall who has the ability to
negate even Eddie Betts types. Saying that though i don't see him
as a bench rotation at all.

 

[Super Hans]

Or maybe its your perception of them that is flawed. Caddy tore us to pieces when Selwood was out last year.

Nah. I can name 100 players better than Caddy, he isn't elite.

Purely scientific stats based systems are going to churn out results that contradict the eye test on occasion.

Champion data can be useful as a guide sometimes, but it should never be read as gospel.

 

[jdz101]

Fair chance three sub 21 aged premiership players are going to miss out on the best 22....

Stacked team..
