2015 team and predictions

[TomK]

FB: Rory Laird, Kyle Hartigan, Kyle Cheney
HB: Ricky Henderson, Daniel Talia, Matthew Jaensch
C: Brodie Smith, Scott Thompson, Rory Sloane
HF: Tom Lynch, Taylor Walker, Richard Douglas
FF: Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins, Charlie Cameron
Fol: Sam Jacobs, Brad Crouch, Patrick Dangerfield
I/C: Nathan Van Berlo, Sam Kerridge, Brodie Martin, Matt Crouch

Unlucky: David Mackay, Matthew Wright, Jarryd Lyons

Ladder Position: 5th

Mackay/Grigg in for Martin/M.Crouch would be the changes I make. I reckon this will be Martins last year on our list, he is turning 27 with only 35 games and would rather get games into Grigg. Mackay comes in for Crouch otherwise we are too slow and Crouch has had an interrupted pre-season.

Yeah the D-Mac plays, the best wingman and really had a great patch of footy last year! Proven and has reach that 26 year mark since his birth with 124 games to boot!

I/C: Nathan Van Berlo, Sam Kerridge, Brodie Martin, Matt Crouch

Unlucky: David Mackay, Matthew Wright, Jarryd Lyons

Ladder Position: 5th

This looks a very strong line up even without Wright on field. Is it likely?

I think at least 18 of those guys definitely start. I think they need to get the games into the likes of Matt Crouch, Charlie Cameron and Rory Laird. Mackay could come into the side for Martin but I like Martin's hardness and competitiveness. I think Mackay lacks a bit of that. Grigg could be a straight swap for Crouch, but Grigg (as well as Lyons) needs to find some real consistency instead of just showing glimpses.

Where do you all think Jake Lever and Harrison Wigg fit in?  I'm thinking all this time that defence is the key and this is the toughest part of SC team selection to figure out so far this year.

Wigg is a fair way back in the pecking order. Would require a few injuries to get a game. Lever a much better chance for games but still don't see him playing round 1.

Yeah I see it that us recruiting a defender first round is significant.  He's the 33rd most popular pick this year to date: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/supercoach-2015-who-are-the-most-popular-selection-choices/story-fni5f3gz-1227236940512

Let's see how he goes.

That's interesting. Looking forward to see how he goes in the NAB.

[Tominator]

gotta fit Jarryd Lyons in. He's my boy but he's a seriously talented player and Walsh could be the coach who galvanises him into becoming a regular, he re-signed here for a reason!

Excited by our midfield depth with him, Griggy, Ellis-Yolmen who's come along in leaps and bounds, Rory Atkins, and Riley Knight who's currently sidelined but has a future

I still can't believe we didn't go for Dan Gorringe or Ryan Schoenmakers, and I reckon we may struggle in defence if we come up against tall forward lines. Cheney will give his all - no question there - but he might be undersized at times



My Best 22:

Back - Kyle Cheney, Kyle Hartigan, Ricky Henderson

Half-Back - Brodie Smith, Daniel Talia, Matthew Jaensch

Centre - David Mackay, Scott Thompson, Brad Crouch

Half-Forward - Sam Kerridge, Taylor Walker, Richard Douglas

Forward - Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins, Tom Lynch

1st Ruck - Sam Jacobs, Patrick Dangerfield, Rory Sloane

Bench - James Podsiadly, Nathan van Berlo, Jarryd Lyons, Mitch Grigg


Emergency - Any 3 of... Matthew Wright, Matt Crouch, Charlie Cameron, Brodie Martin, Rory Laird, Luke Brown

[TomK]

This is the team I'm expecting to be named tomorrow

B: Brown, Talia, Cheney
HB: Jaensch, Hartigan, Laird
C: Smith, Thompson, Sloane
HF: Douglas, Walker, Lynch
F: Betts, Jenkins, Kerridge
R: Jacobs, Dangerfield, CEY
I/C: Mackay, Henderson, VB, Lyons

EMG - Any 3 of Martin, Pods, Cameron, Wright, Grigg

[tbagrocks]

I think they are both great footballer but imo as Id like to see guys like Laird, Grigg, Lyons and Cameron get full games. Jaenschy and Martin to become the Super Subs

[TomK]

Matt Crouch was BOG today in the SANFL and finished with 34 touches

[Ricochet]

Matt Crouch was BOG today in the SANFL and finished with 34 touches

I'm guessing that he and Thompson will push out CEY?

[Mr.Craig]

Matt Crouch was BOG today in the SANFL and finished with 34 touches

I'm shocked. :P

Get the kid in the team stat.

Most likely. CEY would need to have a blinder tomorrow to avoid I reckon. Kerridge as well still to come in.
