Pick your best 22 - PART 7 - End of season

[kruddler]

OK, so here it is, the final 'best 22' for the year.

We've seen how the side performed in finals.
We saw what worked and what didn't all throughout the year.
Using all the information we got, who is in your best 22 now.

Lets assume all players are fit (excluding Williams and Philp to be consistent)
Lets assume all players are still on our list (including delistings, retirees and potential trades)

Pick your best 22.

[Milhanna13]

Saad    Weiters  Boyd
Marchy Gov  Kemp
Acres    Crippa  Doch
JSos    H          Martin
Motlop  Charlie  Cunners
TDK    Cez  Walsh
Int : Hewitt, Cotters, Newy, Owies

Tough to miss :  Pitt, Kennedy, Ollie, Fog, Cincotta, Durds

Inj : Williams

Thats 29 genuine footballers

Still to bring in trades for Dow & Fish  and  at least one first round pick

Still some development in Binns, Cowan, Carrol  (Young??)

I think the biggest tell in these surveys isn't so much who gets a vote, but who doesn't.

Bit of both.

It shows you who your 'first picked' are.
Who your 'there or thereabouts' players are
and
Who your 'not good enough' players are.

Its a bit of a 'wisdom of the masses' kinda thing.

I think the biggest tell in these surveys isn't so much who gets a vote, but who doesn't.

It's going pretty much as I expected.
Some definites, a few with the split vote...
Surprises...perhaps Fogarty
Seemed to have the coaches support for the job he was doing up until the end, but not a lot of love here at the moment.
Marchbank eased his way back into the side by the end of the year.
Lots of support.
At his best he can be a valuable member of the defence
Hopefully an injury free 2024.
Young has had a poor year, he was probably in  most folks best 22 at the start..not sure what the future holds for him.

I had 26 in my side the first time through.
Struggled to trim it down in the end, and I'm not sure I could create a balanced 22 with the players I selected.
Best 22, and a balanced 22 is a slightly different thing.

Ironicly on Marchbank, i did the reverse.
I had him in the team early on (against the trend) and have him out of the team at the end.

100% votes for
- Cez
- Crippa
- Gov
- TDK
- Blacres
- Doch
- Walsh
- Martin
- Weiters
- Charlie
- Saad
- Cotters

Thats 12 with 100% votes - looks about right.  I'd say the only surprises are Cotters in everyone's team (shows how important he is to our structures)  and H out of 1 person's team.  The rest you would pick before the vote was done

Given all the argy bargy on this site I'm surprised that TDK is 100% so far and not Pitto, it suggests people do not truly believe what they post!
