Patrick Karnezis

[Mat0369]

Is Tom lee reliable?? They paid a high draft pick to get him but he hasn't exactly set the world on fire in the nab cup

It looks like Beau Maister (formerly Wilkes) is ahead of him as well. NRoo, Milne, Saad, Dennis-Lane, Milera, Schneider, Kosi, Stanley/Hickey and Maister. He will need to kick  couple of bags in the reserves to get a game.

[Mat0369]

Ok so how much mid time? Rich,Raines,Rockcliff,Redden,Moloney,Beams,Black,Hanley ...?

How many of those guys play on the wing? Hanley and Rich. The other guys are all players who would start in the square or run with guys

They can't play that many small forwards can they? At least 2 of Schneider, Milne, Saad, Milera and Dennis- lane would have to miss out

I checked on another large afl forum (not sure if allowed to name) earlier in the week at the brisbane predicted 22 thread, and not all the brisbane supporters had Karnezis in their 22.  So perhaps hes not as guaranteed as we think...

Obviously see how he goes on the weekend, but still something to consider.

Yeah that's my worry. Where as guys like Byrnes, Varcoe and JJK are walk up starters

Add Zorko into that mix as well
Not many of these play Wing though

With Black still out for a few weeks he will be a near certainty especially with Lester named as emergency tonight. As I have said all along Karnezis at 191cm is a very difficult match up on wing and suits Brisbanes structure,  When Black comes back will be interested to see who makes way but personally I think Karnezis is safe until Staker comes back in as he has been playing the role that Staker did floating down the wings between hb and fwd.

When are Black and Staker due to return?

When are Black and Staker due to return?

Black is Round 3 or 4 I think, Staker had an 8 week surgery just before their first NAB game. He would probably be eased into it through the NEAFL and a restricted training load with the history of knee injuries you would think.

[Ringo]

Black is still unsure of return date. At the moment in his rehab it is 2 steps forward and 1 step back.

Staker is still listed as Round 3 but suspect he may return via the NEAFL to gain match fitness especially if karnezis is going well.

They can play 3 talls, 3 smalls, 2 a mid sized and 3 smalls. It depends who can push into the guts, Schneider could run through the guts, so if he is fit he will be pushing for selection

Maybe better off asking a Saints supporter but you can see the forward line looking like

Dennis-Lane/Milera NRoo Saad
Stanley/Maister Kosi Milne

With Schneider starting on the bench and rotating through the middle. They also would not have given up so much for Hickey if they did not expect to play him. They were trying Stanley down back for that reason. But it will also depend on who their second ruck is out of Blake, Stanley, Kosi and Hickey.

[xumtinglong]

You could have a few Lions in your forward line - Zorko, Rockliff, Karnezis and Cornelius

[reesbr]

Is 3 too much?

[Mykonos FC]

Is 3 too much?

Looking at the Lions' early draw and enterprising brand of footy, I don't think so.
I am really considering going Rocky, Zorko and Karnezis but Karnezis DE is a little concern for SC.

[Colliwobblers]

Is 3 too much?

I have Zorko LOCK, Rocky LOCK, Karpark LOCK.

3 sounds about right to me.

Cornhole not ready for the big stage IMO. one more season maybe, great overhead but he isn't big enough to muscle out his opponents and take every mark overhead yet.

Staker not fit but he is one to consider once he has played his first 2 games, mor likely to bring him into defence myself but he is DPP def/fwd
