Collingwood's Best 22 2014

[Jukes]

Joshy Thomas is a flowering gun, best 21 easily imo.

Way too many rebounding defenders in that back line Craig, no way Seedsman would play back pocket, and O'Brien as your third tall? He's our number one defender, you need 3-4 lock down defenders and 2-3 rebounders at max.

Can't fault midfield, maybe questioning Josh Thomas starting on ball? Luke Ball is a certain starter, Thomas to the bench.

Only two talls in that forward line? I can't see more than 2-3 of Fasolo/Elliot/Blair/Adams playing in the same forward line at once, extremely small forward line. Goldsack as your third tall to start.

No Toovey in that team or Lachie Keefe? Jeez up against Hawthorn we'd get absolutely raped trying to control Hale, Roughead, Gunston aswell as Sydney with Tippett, Franklin, Goodes, Reid etc. If one of Brown/Reid go down, we're flowered.

Good choices but honestly, wouldn't happen. Leaves us way to vulnerable playing with a team that size.

This guy knows what's up.

[Mr.Craig]

In this day and age positions are basically irrelevant, it's the names that count. ;)

I really wanted to put Keefe in but anyway, he will play during the 16-20 games Young is injured.

[Ricochet]

Adams starting on ball over Pendles?? And Beams?

[T Dog]

I like Reid forward...interesting with White in the mix now... ;D

[Vinny]

What is the deal with Kyle Martin? Plenty of talent but no space in the midfield, will he actually ever play? :-\

I really like the kid, he needs to get games! :)

[Honey Badger]

This is how HS sees them lining up if all fit and firing...

B: Alan Toovey, Nathan Brown, Nick Maxwell
HB: Marley Williams, Lachlan Keeffe, Clinton Young
C: Heritier Lumumba, Dane Swan, Steele Sidebottom
HF: Dayne Beams, Travis Cloke, Taylor Adams
F: Jamie Elliott, Ben Reid, Jesse White
Foll: Brody Grundy, Scott Pendlebury, Luke Balle

Int: Brent Macaffer, Jarryd Blair, Tyson Goldsack, Josh Thomas

Ready to Fly: Taylor Adams

Interesting to note Ben Reid up forward and no Seedsman.

[truBLUE]

surely seedy will be in there  ???

[Ringo]

Yes can not Seedsman being left out as he is the logical replacement for Shaw.

[T Dog]

"fit and firing"...thats the key.
Young / Seedy...interchangeable.
Wouldn't want Grundy to go down half way through the 1 st quarter with this line up.. :-\

[Nige]

Seedy is surely a lock to take over Heater's role?  ???

[Vinny]

Young for Seedy is better I think.

Oh and Cloke is a spud :P

[T Dog]

Oh and Cloke is a spud :P

He is the forward lines "Big Potato"..no doubt..and when he is on fire he is a "Hot Potato", when he short passes..thats a "Potato Chip".. 8)
