Def: Goddard, CCornes, HShaw, Newman, Pratt, Adcock, Petterd (Davenport, Kite or Gallman)
Mid: Bartel, Montagna, Knights, Lewis, Haselby, Rich (Foster, Beames)
Ruck: Cox, McIntosh (Redden, Orreal) (not bothered re ruck bench)
Fwd: Riewoldt, Pavlich, Deledio, Lucas, Al Davey, Hentschel, Mitch Brown (Walker, JGrant)
I hope we can all be sure that Rich will play and contribute. Thats where the better players elsewhere come in. Appreciate any thoughts.
Gidday. I'm a long (suffering) time Cat fan and I've got a sneaking suspicion that Jimmy Bartel might not be spending as much time in the midfield this season.
I reckon one Joel Selwood will increase his TOG with Bartel being one of those to have a little less time in the Geelong midfield (with Kelly and Boris others to have diminished rotations through the middle).
Bartel is still a gun but maybe Joel is the cheaper option.
Fatty.
Thanks Fatty. I am a big Bartel fan so I would be disappointed to see his big scores dip due to a change in position. I know everyone is a Selwood fan but if I make the change it will be to Joel Corey as he is just as good as Jimmy (I reckon) for consistency. Already made one change: Boak in (for Knights). Saw Boaks last 4 scores from last season. Wow!
Yep, you can't go wrong with Corey but he's more expensive.
