    Re: 2020: Round 1 Team

    Thought Wood's second half of the year was solid.

    He's ahead of Cordy.

    Isn't that a question of balance? Because he isn't really competing against Cordy who isn't an interceptor...To me, Wood is in a group with Le Young, Keath and Crozier (interceptors) whereas Cordy is more like Trengove (1 v 1, key player).

    By the way, arguing that Cordy isn't a key defender is a waste of time. That's the role he plays so he IS. And I still think it is a cool story that Keath is a 1-v-1 defender as I have never, ever seen him do that. Maybe he can and Adelaide just didn't get him too? I don't know...I guess we are all going to find out.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Zaine Cordy was 5th in the competition for 1%ers, he had his moments but he played his role.

    Wood isn't an intercept defender anymore either. Much of his year was spent playing 1-v-1 and he played as a KPD regularly. In that role I still have him ahead of Cordy.

    Re: 2020: Round 1 Team

    I have tried and tried to pick a team but 26 just doesn't fit !!!! Our mc are going to struggle to play everyone who deserves a game next year. It's a great position to be in but there will be some very unlucky players next year.

    There's always a round 1 surprise too.

    We haven't even considered the possibility of Schache dropping his output and missing round 1, injuries, Le. Young sneaks a spot in the back half, etc.
    Not many of us have Wally in the side either although he was one of our best players as a permanent forward in the back half of 2018.

    To be fair, I didn't pick Schache. With Bruce and Naughton playing tall and Dale playing that leading, medium tall flanker type role, I couldn't find him a spot.

    The interviews all seem quite positive on Schache playing high. His POD is his tank (he regularly topped out side for KMs covered, although those numbers ignore running speed/intensity). If Dale or another genuine mid-sized forward stakes a claim he'd be one of the first out of our forward line.

    FWIW Zaine topped our KMs covered with the last game he played as a full-time forward. Surprisingly good tank.

    I would have Richards in before Mclean.

    Not sure on Weightman, need to see how he is going at Footscray.

    Looks about right BT but should Trengove be selected to play against Cox?

    Agree on Richards being included, I will change that if/when Richards is cleared to play after that bad concussion.

    Weightman could well be our Bailey Smith in 2020. Some exciting X-factor for the team, forward line and fans.
