2020: Round 1 Team

Re: 2020: Round 1 Team

There is a place for taggers or if you want to call it run with players and I hope we give it some thought for 2020

Do you think this is something Mclean could do? He seems like he doesn't have a spot.

Re: 2020: Round 1 Team

I'm in love.

My chief concern though is the forward set-up needs a small, high-energy tackling machine and I'm not sure we have one.

McLean?

Perhaps but I don't share the belief that he doesn't have a spot.
I still believe he has a lot to offer us but if he has the pace, strength and stamina to become a run with player it might be worth looking at. Most players are capable of it it's more about if they want to sacrifice their game a bit. For most players it would be a hard task to do week after week.

Bruce and Keath, you beauty.
'Hallelujah, lujah
When you hear the trumpet blast,
Then you know you're home at last,
Open up them pearly goals for me,
Hallelujah. lujah'.

Just realised both their surnames are like first names. Its a sign! And both left footers, ha. We must be the most lefty org since the painters and dockers were banned

McLean?

No not Michael.

Re: 2020: Round 1 Team

So two big fish locked away and well suit to our needs.

Two others still in play and linked to the Dogs. Zac Smith and Jamie Elliott. Smith would cost pretty much nothing but Elliot would cost us. Would these two be the icing on the cake or do we go to the draft and bs kin recutting guys.

I must also say with the turn over of the list after the 2016 season. To be in this position stion is a huge surprise but a most welcome one.

McLean is pretty hand around the goals it's not a role I'd have him playing.

Wallis would be our best suited for a tagger IMO.

I worry about Mclean at the moment, he didn't have a very good year and looked lost on the HFF.

Chuck him on the table.. he’s worth more to others than he is to us.

Reluctantly agree with this. I think we should at least hear what the market thinks his worth is.

It don't think we quite have the midfield depth to lose a player like McLean without getting something very decent in return
He didn't quite finish the season off as we would have liked but are we reacting a bit quickly?

He averaged 15.6 possessions a game which is well down on the previous 2 years and was probably pushed back in the midfield rotations with Dunkley's emergence as a midfield beast and Bailey Smith's outstanding debut season. The imminent return of Liberatore is another hurdle for him.

If we are just getting a 2nd rounder in return is that sufficient compensation? I doubt we could get much more than that

Well if we do get Elliott this is what is best for us and him. Going forward I don't have him in my best 22 but I wouldn't be giving him up for anything under about pick 22

Re: 2020: Round 1 Team

A few changes to BT's best 22.

*Trengove ahead of Lewis Young. We need a lock down gorilla defender. Keith can play the intercept attacking role and Trengove to be the lock down defender
*I still have Dickson best 22 and he deserves another contract.
*Players spots up for grabs: Trengove, Richards, Dale, Lloyd, Dickson

B: Suckling Trengove Wood
HB: Johannisen Keath Crozier
C: Hunter Dunkley Richards
HF: Schache Bruce Lipinski
F: Dickson Naughton Dale
R: English Bontempelli Macrae
Int: Smith, Liberatore, Daniel, Lloyd
Emerg: Williams, Wallis, Duryea

Re: 2020: Round 1 Team

I hope we can find a tagger or at least reset someone already on our list into that sort of player.

Does Mitch Wallis have the athletic attributes to be that player?

Re: 2020: Round 1 Team

He's done it before, particularly in the early days of his career, with varying levels of success. We probably need 3 players on the list capable of shutting down opposition players rather than just having one player do it week after week
