Tokyo

Suckling, Ibbotson, Carlisle, Suban/Broughton
Jack, Shuey, Scooter, Parker
Smpson
Tippett, Dahlhaus, Henderson, Motlop
Judd, Mitchell

Is that Dawson Simpson as your #1 ruck? I hope you have decent backup otherwise you might struggle there.

Parker could be forward which improves your team. I don't like your defence for this year though, could be good in another few.

we only have Simpson and West tried our best to get a premo ruck but couldn't, i think our defense is pretty solid

Simpson is the #1 ruck at Geelong. I wouldn't be too worried about him, he'll go ok next year

Have you heard of HMac, Vardy or Blicavs?
HMac is surely their #1 and one of Vardy or Blicavs will also play.

Nah who are they ::)
Simpson is the best tap ruckman at Geelong and its been publicly stated by the club numerous times.
HMac has played 8 games in 3 seasons and is 30 next year
Simpson is #1

They won't play Simpson ahead of HMac IMO, but HMac will probably get injured anyway and Simpson would then be #1  ;)

The problem for Simpson is he's injury prone. Has yet to play a full season and I don't think that will continue. Which means the team that has him is relying on their backup ruck to play when he's injured. And, in some cases that is most of the season.

West is no certainty to play at Brisbane either. Leuenberger is the clear #1 and Martin is probably better suited to the fwd/ruc chop-out role better than West.

I read in article from Geelong. HMac & Simpson will share ruck duties or something and Vardy will stay upfront. Simpson should do alright but my drop a little! :-\

So, I think I have said Dublin is better in every line... at this point in time. But I would prefer to inherit Sao Paulo's list.
1) They are younger
2) They actually have depth lol

So having had a look at those two lists (and with top-of-head knowledge of the Suns and Armadillos), I actually think Dublin will win the premiership.

But Sao Paulo will walk in the season slightly more comfortable, able to cope with a injury hit and still compete with the best.

fair call on the depth thing, but if i do my my trade (you know which one ;) ) and Watts moves down back. putting murphy on my bench this is the age of my starting squad

25 24 25 22
25 23 28 25
25
26 23 22 25
29 28

so its really just the utility spot that is old.

kind of depends on how guys like schoenemakers, harper etc.. go.

[Nails]

idk how other teams have such gun teams and i went/had to go old

Guess Dillos had a lot of old players to begin with.

Adams
Robinson
Westhoff

Mumford
Thomas
Mundy
Barlow
Chapman
Nroo
Thompson
Chaplin

Fwds: C.Dixon, M.Walters, R.Gray, J.Watts

The forward line is the obvious weakness there Holz. It has lots of potential but no real out and out guns.

Fwds: L.Franklin, C.Dixon, M.Walters, R.Gray (J.Watts)

better ;)
