Re: Who is in your team for Round 1? - Milhanna13 - 03-12-2022
The biggest question is - do we play pitto, tdk and jsos in the one team?
Next is - Doc?? Is he ready
Then - Martin - been poor preseason, but is obv class, which we need
Finally - Ed? Has ALWAYS been one of our first picked. Maybe a good sign of our depth and talent if he isn’t picked

No.

Want to see our recruits having a big impact,
Williams, Saad, Hewitt, Cerra
Like to see Cripps back to his best
Like to see Charlie and Harry starting to gel in forward line like they should gave started to gel five years ago

Pretty much with you on the team EB. For mine Setterfield and Williamson aren't in there.
Tigers have a pretty good midfield with lots of runners....Ed Curnow always an option for one of those roles.
I'm happy with TDK and Pittonet in the same team. They'll more than likely rotate off the bench.
Different roles/positions but it might come down to a question between Ed and O'Brien. I wasn't completely sold on LOB in that game against Melbourne....got a fair bit of it but still some clangers and poor decisions.

One interesting observation - we seem to be at the stage of
'can't fit them all in'
which is a pleasant change from
'how the hell does he get a game?'.

The problem seems to be having BigH, Charlie, Cripps, SoJ, McGovern, Weiters, McDonald in the team as well, that's a lot of top end to carry under the current Stand Rule, you'd want to have pretty sticky hands and pinpoint precision kicking so the ball doesn't hit the deck too often!

Nank and Soldo dont take prisoners so its going to need Pittonet to asborb the body on body stuff and like I said before I think TDK can then come into his own and use his athletic abilities late in the game to be an influence.

Dusty, Cotchin, Prestia and Bolton especially the latter will be a handful.......Bolton has gone to the next level and is very dangerous especially when he drifts forward as he kicks goals and is one of the most elusive players in the game.
Dont want Dusty ending up on Williams or Newman either as that will be a slaughter, I think we need Ed Curnow in the team along with Plowman as options for some difficult matchups.
While Plowman isnt everyones fav player and can make errors he is on his day capable of playing a good game on those mid sized strongly built players who worry us and IMHO is needed as cover.
Everyone has gotten loved up with Lachie Obrien this season but IMO Paddy Dow is a much better player but it looks like Obrien will be a starter in Round1 but he still gives me an insecure feeling. Like you I thought he made as many errors as he did positive pieces of play preseason and the thought of him picking up the likes of Shane Edwards or Liam Baker would keep me awake at night if I was Voss.

I think if Pittonet and De Koning both play BigH makes SoJ redundant inside F50, because in a crunch we'll have BigH and Charlie in F50 and Weiters and McGovern in D50. We can basically run a ruck just between the arcs and run opposition rucks into the ground. And that is ignoring using Cripps or McDonald at the odd stoppage. McGovern has extendable arms and can go body on body against anyone.
With all that spare height on hand you want to have a very good argument for going in short of some run.
PS; What's the weather report?
(Humid. Partly cloudy. Medium (60%) chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. )

Here's mine:
FB Newman Weitering McDonald
HB Williams McGovern Saad
C O'Brien Cripps Fisher
HF Martin C.Curnow Kennedy
FF Silvagni McKay Owies or Durdin (If fit)
R Pittonet
RR Hewett
Rov Cerra
Int De Koning Docherty E. Curnow Kemp
Re: Who is in your team for Round 1? - WASurfer - 03-15-2022
Rocky...I reckon both Owies and Durdin play if Durdin is fit. They seemed to gel pretty well in that practice game against Melbourne.
I'd leave Kemp out...might be one too many tall options with him in.
