I'm realistic about the fact we won't be attracting anyone half decent after this year's shit show.

Holding onto hope we at least get our shit together to draft Rankine without poort snaking us.


Brown- Talia - Doedee
Smith - Keath - Laird
Seedsman - B Crouch - Gibbs
Gallucci - Walker - Lynch
Betts - Fogarty - Rankine

Jenkins - Sloane - M Crouch

Milera - Greenwood - McPherson - Atkins
Not sure McPherson can make up the ground for round 1, would have to get over the gun Dmac.
 
Luke Brown, Daniel Talia, Tom Doedee
Rory Laird, Alex Keath, Brodie Smith
Wayne Milera, Rory Sloane, Paul Seedsman
Riley Knight, Taylor Walker, Tom Lynch
Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins, Lachlan Murphy
Sam Jacobs, Matt Crouch, Bryce Gibbs
Brad Crouch, Hugh Greenwood, Jordan Gallucci, Rory Atkins

I like this, though I think Douglas is in before Riley Knight or Lachie Murphy - or even better, Rankine?

Kelly, hartigan, murphy, douglas, atkins and jacobs are unlikely to be best 22 next year.
 
B: Doedee, Talia, Brown
HB: Smith, Keath, Laird
C: Seedsman, Gibbs, Milera
HF: Gallucci, Walker, Lynch
F: Betts, Jenkins, Greenwood
R: _____, Sloane, M. Crouch
I/C: B. Crouch, Knight, Douglas, Atkins

Emg: Mackay, Kelly, Murphy, Hartigan

Side looks pretty strong with the glaring exception of our ruck.
 
Brown Talia Keath
Milera Doedee Smith
Seedsman Sloane Atkins

Big call to drop our current best & fairest!

Can’t put in draftees or trade ins.. too early to say.

Brown Talia Doedee
Laird Keath Smith
Sloane Gibbs Seedsman
Jacobs Crouch Crouch
Lynch Walker Galluci
Betts Jenkins Fogarty
Greenwood Milera Cheney
Atkins

Hoping we get Rankine and Lukosius though. I’d have both into the best 22 straight away leaving Fogarty and Atkins out.
 
B: Brown - Talia - Doedee
HB: Smith - Keath - Laird
C: Sloane - BCrouch - Seedsman
HF: Lynch - Walker - Milera
FF: Betts - Jenkins - Galluci
FOLL: Jacobs - MCrouch - Gibbs
INT: Knight - Fogarty - Greenwood - Hateley
 
Surprised how many teams don’t have Fogarty in. Will play 20 games next year if fit.

Yup. A pretty safe bet to get a lot of game time next season regardless of what happens with the Gov trade.

That said, most seem to think our first rounder will get a lot of game time next season as well which is equally as baffling as we don't have a big history of first round draft picks being fixtures in the side in their first season (Lever being the only example I can think of). Naturally could be from of us not going for ready made players but history is certainly not on the side of that call.
 
Round 1 2019
Brown Talia Doedee
Laird Keath Smith
Gibbs Sloane Milera
Knight Jenkins Rankine?
Betts Walker Gallucci

Ruck trade? MCrouch BCrouch?

Greenwood Seedsman Lynch/Rozee? Himmelberg/Fogarty

I like the look of this team. Hoping we get some local lads in the draft and get a decent Ruckman. Otherwise would play Jenkins in the ruck and Himmelberg or Fogarty up forward
 
Mitch. Unfortunate during the trade period we were not able to come up with an agreement with Carlton - but as you know that's out of my hands.

Hit the gym. You will be playing centre half back. Your line coach is new to the club so it is a fresh start for you, at least as fresh as possible. I expect you to play every game and be talked about as an All Australian candidate. Next year will be a new trade period and if we can come up with something which works with Carlton at that time then we will - an All Australian season from you will be the foundation.

(If we trade Gov then Fogarty replaces him in the 7 man defensive rotation. Keath CHB and Fog as the 'hide on an OK forward and ask to intercept & rebound'.)

Smith reclaims his spot in defence. Milera goes back to the wing. Seedsman and Milera on the wings. Hawks won premierships with a slowish midfield and two lethal wings in Hill and Smith. Seedsman and Milera need to be that good.

Hartigan just ahead of Brown for the second lockdown defender role. I really like Hartigan on the mid size marking players like Danger, Gray, Greene. We have enough attacking players around him for a nice balance.

Douglas just ahead of Greenwood for the last spot because of his versatility.

Jenkins second half of 2018 was solid. It was the first time I have watched him and thought 'this guy can be trusted to make a contest'. Tex needs to back JJ in to keep doing that - then lose some weight - and go back to the Tex of old who marks on the wing and drills a pass straight to the leading forward.

With Gallucci, Betts, Murhpy and Knight all in the 7 man forward rotation we will have at least 3 pressure forwards at all times. That will make everyone else look better.

Injury permitting I am quite confident about next year.

My lineup:

FB: Hartigan - Talia - Doedee
HB: Smith - McGovern - Laird - (Keath)
C: Seedsman - Sloane - Milera
HF: Gallucci - Walker - Lynch - (Murphy)
FF: Betts - Jenkins - Knight
R: Jacobs - BCrouch - MCrouch - Gibbs - (Douglas)

Unlucky:
Greenwood
Brown
Atkins
Mackay

Developing:
Poholke
Himmelberg
Davis
McPherson
(Draftees)

Break glass in case of many injuries:
ROB
CEY
Kelly
Cheney
Otten
Wilson
 
The more I look at the teams the more I think the strength of 2017 (forward line) is our biggest weakness for 2019. Tex and Betts need to turn back time for us to be a threat
 
B. Brown Talia Doedee
Hb. Laird Keath Smith
C. Milera Sloane Seedsman
Hf. Gallucci Himmelberg Lynch
F. Betts Walker McAdam
R. Jacobs M.Crouch Gibbs
Int. Greenwood, Fogarty, Atkins, B Crouch

Fogarty to interchange with Himmelberg for (ruck/mid)/fwd duties and then let's consider a Rankine, etc.

Finger licking good :)
