Richmond's Best 22 for 2014.

[quinny88]

Vlastuin was very very good. I think omeara and wines were a little better but I'm not sure what they base this on

[Nige]

Didn't know where else to post this and I didn't wanna make a separate thread, but apparently Cotch is getting married today.  8)

[Chelskiman]

His wife is a lucky girl. :P

Haha +1 I'd marry him

[Nige]

Push-Up was spotted with Bandidos boss Toby Mitchell...

Push-Up, y u do dis?  :(

[Jroo]

I saw that too Nige. Tbh, i don't think King will be around much longer. He's now pretty much a fringe player as younger players such as Lennon and McDonough or even Banfield, Lloyd, Gordon could take his spot.

Lol watching lingerie football with banditos boss Toby Mitchell.. Kingy is Such a lad  :P hate to think where he would have ended up if not for footy.
I love Kingy. He is a prime example of someone that gets the best out of themselves despite having limited attributes. He could certainly be replaced though so needs to be very careful

Jroo's best 22
B: Morris Chaplin Grimes
HB: Petterd Rance Houli
M: Ellis Jackson Deledio
HF: S.Edwards Vickery King
F: Martin Riewoldt Hampson
Foll: Maric Cotchin Conca
Int: Newman, Grigg, Vlastuin
Sub: Foley
The positions I'm not sure about are King, Newman and Foley, but there in the side for now.

Looks good Jroo! I'd have Martin up on the HFF and Kingy at FF but yeah that's the only (minor) suggestion I would have.

I also think that King, Newman and Foles will start to make way for fellas like McDonough, Arnot, Lennon, Gordon, Lloyd this year, probably 50/50s in the team at the moment.

Yep, exciting times ahead Toga, looking forward to watch our youngsters step up this year  8)

[Chelskiman]

I think Foley is still a very important player for us.  At full fitness he has to be in our best 22, surely.

What's everyone's thoughts?

[Nige]

I like it, but I can't help but feel there is a player or two missing without have a proper look at it.

[quinny88]

Was annoying to read with the games next to the players so I re wrote it

B: Steven Morris, Alex Rance, Dylan Grimes

HB: Chris Newman, Troy Chaplin, Bachar Houli

C: Brett Deledio, Dustin Martin, Brandon Ellis

HF: Shane Edwards, Tyrone Vickery, Reece Conca

F: Ben Lennon, Jack Riewoldt, Jake King

R: Ivan Maric, Trent Cotchin, Nick Vlastuin

INT: Daniel Jackson, Nathan Foley, Shaun Hampson, Shaun Grigg

[Jroo]

It's not too bad, some of the other best 22s the Hearld Sun have done have been way off.
The only change I would do is Lennon out, Hampson takes his spot and then Petterd comes in.
