Re: Round 1, 2013 - Team

B: JJ Roughead Morris
HB: Lower Markovic Goodes
C- Picken Boyd Griffen
HF- Dahlhaus Jones Murphy
F- Gia Cordy Dickson

R- Minson, Libba, Cooney

Int- Wallis, Cross, Smith
Sub- Stevens

I can't see Young as a key defender at this stage, I think we're more likely to go for Markovic even though he has little upside.

It's also concerning that 4th and 5th year players like Grant, Tutt, and Howard aren't likely best 22 players come round 1.

GS - do you think Higgins is not yet ready/fit enough - or just shouldn't be in the team for Round 1?

I would have thought if he gets through the VFL game this week well enough then he would play.

I'd left him out due to fitness, but I guess if he plays this weekend he is probably a chance to play round 1. I thought the second half of last season was probably the best footy he's played in the last 3 years and gave me some hope he still may be able to contribute at AFL level. If he's fit he plays as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Round 1, 2013 - Team

You think Young will line up for the first round?

I think that Young will get the nod over Talia or Markovic at CHB, due to Williams being under done.

Re: Round 1, 2013 - Team

Does anyone think a rookie could get a call up in Round 1? I personally don't think it will happen but have an idea in my head that the WB would love to debut one of them to generate a bit of publicity and excitement.

If Stringer was available I reckon they would have played him in this scenario. Macrae? Hrovat? Any chance?

With Goodes getting the last spot on the list I believe we would need a LTI for a rookie to get the nod.

Unless I've miss read your post and by rookie your mean the new draftees.

Macrae might be a sneaky I reckon, looks no less developed than Dyson Heppell was. Hrovat and Stringer need a few more games under their belt

Can we go in with a team that has just 3 members over 191cm?

Cordy and Markovic don't fill me with confidence and Williams, Talia and Campbell probably won't be ready.

Re: Round 1, 2013 - Team

My selection

B: Dylan “DFA” Addison, Jordan “Pretty Boy” Roughead, Brett “The” Goodes

HB: Jason “JJ” Johanissen, Dale “The Glove” Morris, Liam “Slim” Picken

C: Adam “The Coon Dog” Cooney, Matthew “Captain Courageous” Boyd, Thomas “Pedro” Liberatore

HF: Robert “Bob” Murphy, Liam “The Jones Boy” Jones, Tory “Spelling” Dickson

FF: Clay “The Beast” Smith, Jake “The Bean” Stringer, Lukas “German Engineering” Dahlhaus

R: “Big” Will Minson, Ryan “Gogriff” Griffen, Mitchell “Napoleon” Wallis

I: Nick “Cruel to be Kind” Lower, Kobe “Shakin’” Stevens, Daniel “Chris” Cross, Shaun “The Professor” Higgins (s)

E: “Bluey” Young, Daniel “Guido” Giansiracusa, Ayce “The Ace in the Pack” Cordy

After the last half of 2012 season, I am going for some bigger, harder bodies.

Jones & Roughead to help out with the ruck in their respective 50m arcs.
Get some WOW factor in the side and start playing Stringer straight away.

So who provides Minson some relief? Jones?

Maybe rotate the ruckmen through the twos or an R&R weekend. E.g. Play Minson for 6 matches. Give him a break and play Cordy/Campbell for 1 match. The side looks and plays awful with out-and-out ruckmen bogging up the forward line. We have to move on from the failed forward structures of 2012.

Nice nicknames F'scray. Just one I don't get: Luke "German Engineering" Dahlhaus.
