    What is everyone's Best Line Up?

    Now, I know this has been done before since the Prelim Final, but I haven't seen anyone's best line up, since the trade period. Now knowing that we are more than likely to have the same line up as this season, with a few new young draft picks added in.

    My side is:

    B: J.Saddington A.Schauble C.Bolton
    HB: L.Barry L.Roberts-Thomson T.Kennelly
    C: S.Maxfield P.Williams B.Mathews
    HF: N.Davis B.Hall A.Schneider
    F: M.O'Loughlin J.Ball R.O'Keefe
    Fol: A.Goodes B.Kirk J.Bolton
    Int: S.Doyle N.Fosdike J. Crouch L.Ablett
    Emg: B.Seymour M.Powell M.Nicks

    looks good robbie, although i'd probably find a place for the forgoten man benny fixter (on the assumption that he is fit) possibly in place of ablett.

    i know it doesn't mean much in todays game but i'd also consider some positional changes.

    Ball to Ruck, Doyle to FF and Goodes taking a full time position in the midfield - maybe matthews to the bench??

    I like LRT at CHB and would hope thats James is in a position this year to challenge for a key defensive post

    It would also be nice if one of our talented youngsters stepped up to challenge for a first 18 postion in the same vein as schneider this year

      I like this list also, with the exception of Ablett, who I'd also replace with Fixter (assuming he's fit).

        Agree with the original list and suggested mods above with the exception that Crouch has always been in my top 18, possibly at the expense of Mathews

          Goodes has to be ruckman for sure, he is our best option even if he is not going to win every tap. Once the ball hits the ground the opposition ruckman can't match him in any way. Once Kirk and Bolton learn how to read the opposition taps it wont matter. If Goodesy plays in the midfield, he will be tagged by a player with the agility to match him, whereas the ruckman can't.

            I'd prefer to see Mathews in the BP, with Crouch on the wing. I don't think LRT is ready for a full game at CHB, so that should go to the appropriate one of Saddo, Schauble or Bolton. If Fixter is fit, I would have him in for Ablett. I agree on the comments that Goodes needs to play ruck - that is where his best value is for us around the ground.

              Not sure how much effect J.Ball will have this year, but hope to see S.Doyle at FF and ruck a lot.
              Also, assuming we nab Ray Hall.
              Imagine that. Hall nabs the Tall at the Fall of the Ball, the crowd All yell "Ball". Hall kicks on to Hall then to Ball....goal!

                    Here's a little prediction for all you who are still cynical about the young man with the apendage for a last name.
                    Luke Ablett will explode next year.

                        With most players fit at the start of season some players are going to have a hard time making it into the team.

                        Looks like a great List at this stage.

                          Emergencies: Fixter, Powell, Seymour, James, Doyle, Sundqvist, Meiklejohn

                          I'm happy with that. Ray Hall may slot in at CHB if he comes, which would force Bolton to back pocket, Barry to HBF, Kennelly to a wing, Fosdike to HFF and Davis to the bench... ah... the effect one player would have!

                            Looks a good team.

                            I'd like to see Kennelly push up to a wing or into the midfield this year. Also like to see Goodes start at half forward with a free hand to go anywhere he wants, similar to Hird at Essendon.

                            Wonder which one of S Dempster J Thewlis J McVeigh N Malceski
                            will step up next year?

                              This is my prediction also.
