Best team.....and next best

[flyboy77]

Ditto Pickett and Kennedy

The day is coming fast where Daisy and Simmo's days are numbered (which we all knew)....

[ElwoodBlues1]

A fit Williamson plays firsts

Agree....real good footballer in the making and been missed...

[kruddler]

For all those saying Willo et al should be playing firsts, don't forget there is room for 4 more on the bench.

BUT...who would you take out of the firsts to put him (or anyone) in the team?

FWIW, i had pickett in the team, but realised i forgot Fisher, so he got the flick.

[kruddler]

Our Firsts would give our Seconds a mother of a hiding

That is true...but how many of the 2nd players were playing firsts last year.  :-\

I'll give you the tip....all of them got games in the 1's apart from Willo who was injured all year.

[Jack Burton]

Forward line looks a bit slow and lumbering, Fisher the only one there who woul apply decent forward pressure

[Gointocarlton]

OK, so i got bored waiting for stuff to happen, so i did this exercise most have done plenty of times before.

Pick your best team.

....and pick your next best team....your 2nds.

Now we still have a few spots on our list, so i limited it to 18 each, which also allows you to fill your bench with the best of the second lot.
FWIW, I didn't include any rookies (well, not good enough anyway) and i didn't include Byrne because....well he's barely a Carlton player at this point in time.

I think everyone else fits in there nicely....even with the 2 new additions McGovern and Fasolo.

Yes, Walsh and Setterfield are likely too, but we'll wait for that to through first

What have i got wrong? What would you do different??

Dont know the make up just yet but the ones in red I have moved on from and dont form part of the puzzle for me. They are either delisted or play in the 2s to come in if the injury list is out of control.

+1

Garlett and Lang the only ones who can change my opinion.

[Amers]

I like this game....

I'd make no major changes, I'd swap Jones for Rowe.

I know they aren't at the club yet and so probably why you haven't included them, but Walsh and Setterfield would definitely strengthen the 2nds team, and quite possibly keep a couple of guys in the 1sts on their toes too.

Even with those two, IMO this still shows that we are still a couple of mature mids short.
I'll be interested to see if SOS agree's, and if so, who he brings in.

[flyboy77]

I reckon Kerridge has been much maligned.

His disposal has improved markedly, he is a good size and he runs for 4 quarters.....

I hope he retains a spot. And then may the best bloke get a game!

[Amers]

Positionally, I'd also swap Ed and Murph, but no big deal.
