Pick your 22 for Rounds 1 and 12

[Thryleon]

By round 3 Palmer's kicking will be a major source of discussion on this site.

That depends.  At GWS he was surrounded by good users of the footy.  He might very well look good compared to the likes of Sam Kerridge.

At the end of the day, he's our bastard now, and I think he will be our best of our "new recruits" this season.

It's summer and cricket so i've forgotten half the blokes we recruited...lol

Anyway, see how i go.

B  Docherty Rowe Plowman
HB Simpson Weitering Boekhorst
C  Gibbs Cripps Buckley
HF Silvagni Marchbank Sumner
F  Wright Casboult C.Curnow

R Kruezer  Murphy E Curnow

Int SPS, Palmer, Armfield, Kerridge

[Professer E]

And GWS didn't play in the GF because a certain player couldn't find a target.  Turnovers kill you.

Ill review after the preseason comp

[flyboy77]

I'd exchange Smedts for White and maybe Armfield for Cuningham....but otherwise I like it.

Cunningham showed abit when he came in last year, if he has a good preseason and performs well in the Preseason comp, I would reward him with a spot and get games into him. One thing I liked about him is that he is not overawed by a big occassion. Rnd 1 opening night is as big as it gets early in the season so I reckon he plays. Has a bit of c - - -  in him also which I like. I think Armfield (as much as I love the bloke) is surplus if the kids are up and running, and he knows this better than anyone.
Agree with White and Smedts, I just want experience and hardness in the rnd 1 side, White brings that.

Res. Phillips, Smedts, Palmer, White.
Emerg. Cuningham, Lamb, Gorringe


I can't pick Harry.M yet as he hasn't fired a shot.
Smedts is in based on full fitness and his best Geelong form. ( we can only hope ).

I'm really hoping either ( or both ) Pickett or De Bois develop into a real goalsneak type.

This week should give us a pretty good indicator of what the rnd 1 team will be. On the showing so far picking the team is going to be a hard task:

B Ciaran Sheehan Sam Rowe Lachie Plowman

HB Sam Docherty Caleb Marchbank Kade Simpson

C Zac Fisher Patrick Cripps Marc Murphy

HF Jarrod Pickett Levi Casboult Jack Silvagni

F Jacob Weitering Charlie Curnow Matthew Wright

R Matthew Kreuzer Ed Curnow Bryce Gibbs

IC Harrison Macreadie Billie Smedts David Cuningham
Rhys Palmer


You can't really pick McKay on what he's shown so far. That would be charity. I'd like SPS to be available. Lebois?
Kerridge / Thomas / White will probably play but bloody well shouldn't.

NFW as to Thomas getting a game round 1, need to show all on the list that places are earned, not gained by reputation.

Daisy has been the stand out WOG in two practice matches, bewildering if he is in contention for round 1.

EFA. Dont insult us wogs by relating us to Daisy
