Your perfect team going into 2008

Your perfect team going into 2009

It's been done at the start of most seasons so I thought I'd start it now. If you're asked to pick a 22 that you think could beat all comers and be the best team we've ever seen, who would be in it? Maybe even, what team would you want internationals to see if you were trying to sell the game?

Mine, at the moment, would be:

B: M.Scarlett - D.Glass - C.Brown
HB: L.Hodge - C.Cornes - A.McLeod
C: M.Pavlich - A.Cooney - J.Bartel
HF: L.Franklin - J.Brown - B.Harvey
F: A.Didak - B.Fevola - S.Johnson
R: D.Cox - C.Judd - G.Ablett
Int: B.Ottens - S.Black - N.Riewoldt - P.Chapman

 

[Puddy]

B: M.Scarlett - D.Glass - C.Brown
HB: L.Hodge - C.Cornes - G.Johncock
C: S.Black - A.Cooney - M.Richardson
HF: A.Didak - J.Brown - B.Harvey
F: L.Franklin - B.Fevola - S.Johnson
R: D.Cox - C.Judd - G.Ablett
Int: B.Ottens - M.Pavlich - S.Burgoyne - J.Bartel

F: L.Franklin - B.Fevola - S.Johnson
R: D.Cox - C.Judd - G.Ablett
Int: B.Ottens - M.Pavlich - S.Burgoyne - J.Bartel

cant believe there is no room in there for N.Riewoldt

 

[bombersrbest05]

when I read the title of the post I thought it meant what would your best team look like come round 1 with no injuries

 

[TassieSaint]

B: Hudghton Scarlett S. Fisher
HB: Hodge Bock Gilbee
C: B. Harvey Black Cooney
HF: Franklin Riewoldt S. Burgoyne
F: Didak Pavlich S. Johnson
R: Cox Ablett Judd

Int: Sandilands Bartel C. Cornes Richardson

Surprised at the lack of Bock love considering he is the leagues best CHB by some margin.

Doesn't the OP mean going into 2009??

If so, then it would be smart to pick a couple of players who were about 25-35 in the AA rankings this year who you think are a good chance of improving.

Eg, this time last year few would have picked Cooney or Hodge.

Yep, I'm an idiot. Probably a sub-concious thing to think that 2008 never happened...

INT: D.Petrie, S. Black, Harvey, S.Fisher

That's the team almost exactly for me. Only change S. Black for Corey and Harvey(even though it pains me to do so) for Fev. The team already has 3 awesome tall forwards + motlop who's forced to play tall for port.

[Gone Critical]

Looking at this post you would have to say Didaks back in the good books with a lot of people. Seems most would agree Pies were wise not to be stampeded by the press into letting him go.

I suspect the predictions of a big 2009 for him will be correct.

Thats going purely on 2008 form.. Unlucky players that had a great 2008 and will make it in the future are:

J.Porplyzia, A.Sandilands, R.Palmer, J.Selwood, C.Bateman, B.Sewell, D.Pratt, D.Motlop, B.Deledio, B.Kirk, D.Cross, R.Griffen

Players that didnt have great seasons but would obviously be in my best side when at their best include:

A.McLeod, J.Brown, A.Didak, P.Chapman, P.Burgoyne, S.Burgoyne, C.Cornes, K.Cornes, N. Dal Santo, A.Goodes, B.Hall, R.O'keefe, D.Kerr

Note that Cotchin is captain in spirit, and Ryan Gamble will finish top 5 in the Coleman next year, guaranteed.

Only a freo supporter would think Sandilands is better than Cox..

 

[Schulzenfest]

Mine isn't just the best 22 players, but I want players to fill different sorts of roles.

B: D. Morris (pure stopper) M. Scarlett (full back) S. Fisher (third tall)
HB: B. Goddard (pure rebounder) C. Cornes (chb) L. Hodge (third man up)
C: A. Goodes (big, athletic, mark taking midfielder) J. Bartel (inside mid) A. Cooney (outside midfielder)
HF: N. Riewoldt (as a half-forward link man, not as a key forward) M. Pavlich/J. Brown (can't split 'em) (chf), C. Rioli (forward line pressure)
F: B. Fevola (lead-up third tall) L. Franklin D. Motlop (pure crumber)
R: D. Cox (ruck) C. Judd (clearance winner) G. Ablett (line breaker)
Int: A. Mackie (versatile backman, could rotate with anyone) C. Ling (tagger) A. Sandilands (back up ruck) R. O'Keefe (Can rotate with anyone but the key forwards, and then Riewoldt can take one of their spots)
