Preview Your Best 22 for 2018

[Vader]

Good question.

Not sure.

Vader usually has the answers to these types of questions.

No idea. Probably not - they weren't previously, and I haven't read anything about that changing.

 

[Scorpus]

But are they under the cap?

Not until they play a game

 

[Redleg Crow]

Not until they play a game

That is an excellent rule. Exactly how rookies should be placed.

 

[azza77]

I can't stress enough how silly I think this opinion is.

Brett Eddy. Michael Wundke. Todd Grima. Daniel Schell. Couple of Ken Farmer medals between them. Jenkins is a significantly better footballer than any of them. It's not even close.

With his size and athleticism, and with the difference in quality of key defenders and the way defences are organized at SANFL level compared to AFL, forget attacking patterns or leading, he'd just be standing there bench pressing defenders or jumping over the top of them all day.

Again, I get that he has flaws. I get that we're all frustrated because we know he has the tools to be much better. But some of these comments are just ludicrous. At the rate his stocks are plummeting in here, in a month I'm expecting to hear that he's so shit he wouldn't get a game for Gaza.

It's a pretty stupid point to argue, cos it's pointless in the scheme of things.

But my point was more so, that Jenkins doesnt play like any of those guys you mentioned. His game style is completely different and he doesn't thrive in contested situations, which is mostly what the SANFL is.

No one will like thea and its not my best 22 but my round one AFL side and SANFL trial at Alberton side as they are both on the same day. Walker needs a game first so I will play him at Alberton and Jenkins also was bad. Give Dear a go at crashing the packs. I will get home from work early to got to Alberton then off home to watch the AFL.

Still need a balanced line-up though...

Only 2 of Doedee, Kelly & Cheney (& Keath if we need a bigger 3rd defender matchup).
Only 2 of Talia, Hartigan & Keath.

You would think Kelly is highly rated by Pyke going on last year and Keath would be liked by Pyke as he can play KPF or third tall Pyke definetly likes height that can’t be disputed

1 out of 2 can be very much disputed.

You would have to be living under a rock to not realise Doedee is in front of Keath.

How about Cheney

You would think Kelly is an absolute shoe in

Keath Doedee Cheney Otten are all going for that last possie, Cheney has runs on the board as does Otten Doedee needs to be given an opportunity to see if he is capable as does Keath, Keath has the advantage of being able to replace a KPF aswell

Keath can play KPF? Did he do that in the internal trial?

Otherwise I'm not sure where this comes from

Cheney still makes too many blunders. Love his attitude, but hope someone goes past him in the 22

I was at the trial yesterday and Keith played in defence for the majority of the game for what I could see. In fact he intercepted quite a few attacks by the navy blue team. I can see him being a real swing player like Otten but with much more mobility but if the trial game is any indication it doesn't seem the coaches have him in mind for that role.

 

[goyoucrows]

Not much of a message when Otto is named in his place and Dmac us named as our weapon leg off half back.

Please no. Mackay can't tackle to save his life.

Reckon Lachie Murphy is in with a big shot of playing R1 and fully deserved too

Coming off the bitter taste of a grand final loss it's so important that a few new names grace our team sheet early on.

The newbies carry no scars, their energy revitalises the group plus earning your spot in the 22 becomes the focus for a large number of players rather than what might happen/did happen at the end of the year.

And if there's a guy with a tough edge it's him. Passed over in 2 main drafts for being short, despite having a cracking SANFL year, he's going to make every post a winner.

Reckon we will see 5 or 6 different players from GF day.
