Best 22 in 2009

[Swanner]

This is my best 22 for 2009 ... let's hope they all stay fit...

Backs
Mattner Bolton Barry

Half Backs
Kennelly Richards Shaw

Centre
McVeigh Bolton Malceski

Centre Half Forwards
O'Keefe Goodes Buchanan

Forwards
O'Loghlin Hall Jack

Rucks

Jolly Kirk

Rover

Bird

Interchange

Bevan Barlow Veszpremi (LRT or Currie as ruck)

Fosdike, Grundy, Playfair Vespremi all unlucky ... crouch is gone in my books but you never know...

On paper our weakest spot is the second ruckman. I think LRT is also in real trouble this year unless he can re-invent himslf in the ruck.

[Legs Akimbo]

I don't think Ryce Shaw is in our best 22. Still not sure why he was drafted.

[ScottH]

I don't think Heath Shaw is in our best 22. Still not sure why he was drafted.

Oops.

[Plugger46]

Oops.

Yeah, Heath would easily slot into our best 22

[Captain]

Bevan Barry Richards
Kennelly C Bolton Mattner
McVeigh Goodes Malceski

The Bevantor will slip into the pocket (back or front - it doesn't matter the kid is so incredibly versatile) and the Boozanator will be running on off the bench in the midfield. Also LRT will be in the 22 as a backman regularly. Leo Barry won't. Curry will play second ruck and Goodsey will be ruck roving. Buchanon has a question mark with an emphatic dot.

HB:Kennely, Shaw, Mattner,

C:McVeigh, Bolton, Malceski

HF: Hall, Moore, Vezpremi

FF:MO'L, Jack, Buchanan

Fol: Jolly, Goodes, Kirk, Bird.

Bench; Fosdike, Playfair, Crouch, Schmidt

E: LRT, Grundy, Barlow

Playfair just edges out Grundy on the bench. But as been has said, where's our second ruck? Going to be a real problem for us if Doyle doesn't come on.

Reigning Premier, I think you're stuck in 2006, just like your username!

Oh, and by the way, you've got a 23 man side there. Drop Fossie, apparently he won't recover from his knee.

Shaw as a small defender. Make no difference where but half back.

Fossie as extra run off the bench for Bird, McVeigh and Kirk.

Moore & Jack as small fwds.

Buchanan, MOL, Ted

[Haz]

This is a team looking to the future, with two prospects Murphy and Barlow I believe the two keys to our success. They need game time. The more they get, the better they?ll get.
There?s a good mix of youth and experience. Some will find it strange that I?ve left Bucky, Mattner and Shaw out but this is not the team I think will play in 09, more the team I think SHOULD play in 09 and beyond.

B: Richards, C.Bolton, Roberts-Thomson
HB: Bevan, Murphy, Malceski
C: Goodes, McVeigh, Jack
HF: O'Keefe, Hall, Barlow
F: Veszpremi, O'Loughlin, Grundy
R: Jolly, J.Bolton, Kirk
INT: Kennelly, Bird, Currie, Moore
EMG: Buchanan, Shaw, Mattner

People that miss out:
Meredith, Laidlaw, Smith, O?Keefe D.

We need a tall, strong backend to take Robert-thompson?s place but we don?t have one so he?ll continue to fulfill the role to the best of his ability

This However is something closer to the team that WILL play next year, round 1.

B: Richards, C.Bolton, Grundy
HB: Kennelly, Shaw, Malceski
C: Goodes, McVeigh, Jack
HF: O'Keefe, Hall, Moore
F: Veszpremi, O'Loughlin, Buchanan
R: Jolly, J.Bolton, Kirk
INT: Bevan, Currie, Roberts-Thomson, Mattner
EMG: Barlow, Barry, Bird

OOPS I forgot Barry?.I don?t figure him in our calculations at all for next year. He is destined to be the Ben Mathews of 09, although I know I will be proved wrong and that he?ll play at least a few more games at the beginning of the year.
