2015 Line Up
I had a crack at what I thought was our best 22. Let me know what you think?
F: Hrovat, T Boyd, L Dalhaus
HF: Stringer, Crameri, Grant
C: Bontempelli, M Boyd, McRae
HB: Murphy (C), Roughead, Wood
B: Johannisen, Morris (VC), Talia
Foll: Minson, Libba, Picken
Int: Stevens, Wallis, T Campbell, Hunter
Emergency: Dickson, Darley, Honeychurch
Also - I'm assuming that Coons is gone but he is a walk up into the 22 if he stays.

Re: 2015 Line Up
Good team, very young isn't it. I'll have Smith in for Darley until he's cherry ripe to go.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Re: 2015 Line Up
The team is starting to look really good.
Maybe Dickson in for Grant...

Re: 2015 Line Up
Dahl Boyd Roughie
Grant Stringer Crameri
Bonts Hrovat Macrae
JJ Talia Bobby
Wood Roberts Morris
Minson Wallis Libba
Hunter, Boyd/Smith, Darley, Stevens or Picken if needed as a second tagger
Note:
Roughie playing second KPF and second ruck, similar to his cousin (Campbell & Ayce in the wings). Crameri/Stringer/Hunter/Dahl/Bonts all rotating through the forward line and midfield much like Hawthorn did very successfully this season. Multi dimensional forward line, tall and quick midfield.
I see no future in Pearce, Redpath or Austin. Not sure where the club goes from here. One of the latter as a tall defender for depth?
Honeychurch and Dickson close. Maybe Grants spot there.
A lot of rookies to develop at Footscray.

Good post. Pretty spot on I think based on potential, and I agree 100% on Roughead. I do disagree on Redpath though. As a role player he has value.

Re: 2015 Line Up
Everyone had Picken out of our side last year....and he went on to have an excellent season. I fully expect him to be in our best 22 again this season. Wouldn't be surprised to see Jong push up into our best 22. His explosiveness is something we really need.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Re: 2015 Line Up
I always start with the backline first, I don't know why....but my crack (not a round 1 side) would be something like:
Morris, Roberts, Wood
Murphy, Talia, Biggs
Wallis, Liberatore, Macrae
Dahlhaus, Crameri, Bontempelli
Dickson, Boyd, Roughead
Minson, Stringer, Smith
Hunter, Hrovat, JJ, Stevens

A good effort. I have swapped M Boyd and Wallis.

Re: 2015 Line Up
It shows how light on we are for defense, but I definitely like the idea and structure behind Boyd/Roughy/Crameri/Stringer forward. As mentioned above, Hawthorn have done that well with the likes of Hale playing forward regularly. If this works - we probably don't need to draft another key forward just yet, meaning we can draft for KPD's and outside skill/pace.

Re: 2015 Line Up
B: Morris - Roberts - Wood
HB: Darley - Talia - Dalhaus
C: Johannisen - Boyd - Bontempelli
HF: Crameri - Stringer - Murphy
F: Roughead - Boyd - Hunter
FOLL: Minson - Macrae - Liberatore
INT: Wallis - Picken - Grant - Stevens
Changes from 2014 : Dahl with his pressure and run off half back, has been a bit unreliable in front of goal, so I'd like to see him given time down back, especially now with Higgins gone and Murphy who I've slotted up fwd, to give our attack an extra lead up player from the half fwd line, Granty obviously another option up fwd
Talia and Roberts down back are virtually two new recruits having played little game time this season, allows Roughy to switch up fwd as our second ruck option and two pronged tall fwd line alongside Boyd.

Re: 2015 Line Up
It's going to be an extraordinarily thin Backline whichever way you look at it. We better win in the midfield or there could be some ugly games.

Re: 2015 Line Up
F: Stringer, T Boyd, Smith
HF: Hrovat, Crameri, Dalhaus

HB: Murphy (C), Roughead, Wood
B: Johannisen, Morris (VC), Picken
Foll: Minson, Libba, Picken
Int: Stevens, Wallis, Darley, Hunter
Grant will need to earn a spot, Talia has a huge part to play and needs to get moving, Honeychurch needs to start to apply pressure to the forwards or a spot also.
With a look to 2016 season, we will more than likely be without Murphy, Morris & Boyd. We need some serious work done with the backs we have on the list.
BB.
Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

Picken is going to be pretty buggered, running 2 positions at once..... (In the middle AND back pocket)

Is that likely?
We have just lost our best and most dynamic midfielder.. Our clearly 2nd best mid has really struggled in the past when tagged, and he can expect to be sat on in every game next year.
We are going to need the likes of Dahlahuas, Hrovat, Jong, etc. to really step up in 2015.

and Libba is going to have to learn to play with a tag.
