Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Fox Sports needs to remember the existence of Taylor Duryea.

I'm happy with that back line.

Updating my team after the draft period & interchange changes

Crozier onto the bench & Hannan on the emg list.

Surprised you have Crozier on the bench Doc. The last time he looked remotely up to the level was about 2-3 years ago.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

He's an important player for us but he does have trouble staying fit. Lets hope for a strong 2023 from him.

Doesn't mean he isn't best starting 22.

I'd have Duryea in, JJ to the forward pocket and VDM out.

I agree with this. Duryea is a very important player. So much that I think if he played the Freo final, we wouldn't have made so many errors to let them back in.

Well I think it would have helped Ed out a whole bunch anyway.

Lets hope the club have instituted a bonk ban for the month of December to avoid a repeat in September 2023. Most footy players aren't great with maths.

JJ also showed glimpses of his best this year and VDM really showed nothing. Would rather throw Charlie in the forward pocket and let him cut his teeth than play VDM at the moment if I'm being honest.

I haven't given up on Crozier. He was in our best 22 at the start of last season when selected for r1 but his untimely setback derailed him. His form at Footscray was superior to most. Additionally I think he can help sweep up at the back, is very experienced, and could release Dale or Daniel to the wings. That would hopefully improve some of delivery into he forward line.

Whilst I agree with all of that Doc, he's become a ball-stopper and is too slow to move the footy on...this can be an incurable disease for some players. I hope I'm wrong as he's a heart and soul performer.

With the teams - meh. Until we have some idea how Bevo is going to put the mids/outside mids together, it is basically impossible to work it out...I know the exercise is us naming our own side, but I genuinely have no idea who Bevo is going to play on the outside...

We still have Bont, Liber, Jacko, Bailey and Treloar - all of whom are best placed inside the contest...but we have essentially NO-ONE to play outside. I'm genuinely baffled what the current plan is.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Long down the line is Crozier's plan A and B these days unfortunately.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Following on from training to date, how does everyone see the first round team now?

My updated version:


B: Duryea, Jones, Daniel

HB: Dale, Gardner, Richards

C: Williams, Libba, JJ

HF: B Smith, Naughton, McLean

F: Weightman, Lobb, Jamarra

R: English, Bont, Macrae

Int: Treloar, Darcy, West, Garcia, Buku

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

Hard to fit in Keath, Garcia

You’ve got Mclean in your team twice. You can now fit one of them in.

Re: Team, Round 1 2023

You've hot McLean on the field and on the bench BAD.

Thanks, I adjusted again. I have a gut feeling Keath won't be in for round 1, but that is based on today. Darcy hard to leave out at this stage and Bruce I am unsure of.
