Round 1 2013 AFL teams

[m0nty]

For the purposes of calculating the Guru scores, I have had a very preliminary lash at guessing what the round 1 teams of all 18 AFL teams are going to be in 2013. I will reproduce these guesses below.

What I would like you to do is critique these selections, and suggest improvements. Please bear in mind that teams do usually pick three talls at either end, so don't suggest 15 midfielders. Also, if you could please specify who you think should be removed when you suggest an in, that would help things greatly.

In particular, teams usually pick 15-20 debutantes each year in R1 in total, so if you could keep that in mind when you pick your sides, that would be handy - note, I didn't follow this rule, so I need a bit of help figuring out which rookies will debut!

I'll be dropping in to this thread occasionally and joining in, updating the OP where appropriate. There will probably be multiple versions of this thread leading up to R1, especially after the PSD and during the NAB.

Players suspended for R1:
Brent Harvey
Campbell Brown
Leigh Montagna
James Kelly
Alex Silvagni
Kurt Tippett (assuming he's picked up in the PSD)

Kurt Tippett in an Adelaide line up :o oh the humanity! I would think Josh Jenkins will get that spot

[ossie85]

Good stuff m0nty, I reckon Clinton Young is in the Pies 22

[monstrum]

good stuff, pretty sure brent harvey won't be lining up for the roos though!..

and i wouldn't be hidding Atley down in the pocket with firrito on the flank, i'd swap those 2 around ;)

whitecross will probly be still injured as well... i hope not though

i'd swap Stephen hill and Mzungu around as well i think they're both suited at the other end of the ground


surely Q-Stick Lynch or Grundy will be lining up with the pies

H-Mac will be the Cats #1 with Vardy #2 (both not in the side) West will be lucky to get a game untill one of those 2 get injued
these are only my quick ideas...  :-\

[m0nty]

I did forget a few of the free agents.  ;D

[Ziplock]

good stuff, pretty sure brent harvey won't be lining up for the roos though!..

and i wouldn't be hidding Atley down in the pocket with firrito on the flank ;)

whitecross will probly be still injured as well... i hope not though

yeah boomer's suspended :P

as for GWS- that's pretty solid. Honestly though, I'd be putting Gilham at FB, cornes on the IC and probably hoskin elliot or darley out. You don't quite have enough talls up front, and Cornes' versatility would be better used with gilham in the team. That being said, probably the hardest team to pick- we're going to want to get as many games as possible into our new recruits.

Actually, I'd take Darley out, put palmer into HB, coniglio into the mids and Treloar into the team at half forward, with hoskin elliot coming out for gilham.

[monstrum]

theres also alot i like about this lol i don't want to look like i'm just baggin u out  ;D ;D

[m0nty]

Ziplock, I might have been with you on WHE early in 2012 but he showed a fair bit in late games, I reckon an offseason in the gym will do him the world of good and he'll start showing his draft rating this year.

[monstrum]

u have brent staker at CHF as well as the bench... i'm guessing 1 of them should be Jonathon "i don't run on my face" Brown

[Mailman the 2nd]

Seeing Tippett on the Adelaide sheet gave me a good laugh  ;D

[tbagrocks]

Seeing Tippett on the Adelaide sheet gave me a good laugh  ;D

It will give me a good laugh when he's missing goals for Sydney
