Team, Round 1 2023

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Do you think Buku might be considered?

I don't think so. Looks like we view him as a forward who can relieve in the ruck if need be. Direct back up to Lobb unless we go with Darcy/Hannan/wtf Bevo decides.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Richards, Keath, Bruce
Dale, L.Jones, Daniel
Scott, Macrae, Baker
B.Smith, Darcy, Ugle-Hagan
Lobb, Naughton, Treloar
English, Bontempelli, Liberatore
Hannan, West, Duryea, McLean
Williams

My 23 fwiw.

Not too much thought in Baz/Adz fwd. Going with a few guys rotating through there. Tobias and Westy mostly. Darcy to swing back if any issues with our KPDs.

So no Maclean or Crozier and Bruce plays are the surprises for me. West not even an emergency

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Toby for the sub?

I think playing Bruce is but maybe we are worried about their resting ruck

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Surprised to see Darcy and Bruce named.

No McLean either who sounded like had a ripping preseason.

JJ and Hannan become the "small" forwards.

Game on.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Darcy & Bruce as the swingers. I like that flexibility to play either at either end based on match ups.

Toby as the sub.

Toby not in the 22 is a surprise especially behind Hannan.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Is Baker going to be this seasons McComb or am Ibeing to cynical for a Round 1 game.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Didn't Hannan play one of his better games against Melbourne?

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Geez, we've gone in tall. Hopefully we can run the game out well.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

The average height of our 22 is a whopping 190.6cm. This must the tallest team in AFL history.

Our average age is 27 years and 3 months with 8 players 30+. Probably the oldest team our club has ever fielded.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Toby for the sub?

I am assuming yes.

Having said that, he didn't play well against North.
