Probable Best XV's for 2014

[My Chumps]

Updated after dpp changes didn't help,

D: H. Shaw, L. Dunn, P. Seedsman, N. Vlastuin
M: R. Griffen, J. O'Meara, C. Ward, D. Heppell
R: N. Naitanui
F: D. Martin, A. Monfries, T. Vickery, J. Hogan
U: J. Thomas, Z. Clarke

Emg: D. Sheed, S. Docherty, J. Jenkins

Not too bad. I expect Vlast,Seedy, Hepp and Vickers to all greatly improve averages.

I reckon you're putting your eggs in the wrong basket there. I can't see Hepp improving that much more, but Ward on the other hand.

Reasonable mixture of experience and youth and opportunities for some as well to push for selection if form warrants in reserve.

[Nige]

Would probably have Broadbent at D4 over Laird, swapping their places doesn't make too much of a difference though.

Also, Rampe's a defender Ringo.

Ward at GWS should, but Hepp was averaging 103 early 2013 and when he matures he should average even more than that. Who wouldn't vin.  ;)

I don't think it was a question CF, there's no question mark.

That said, I also prefer my team.

Pretenders please. Dublin to destroy you amateurs.

Lynden Dunn starting ruins any credibility Moscow might have :P

I don't care if he scores well, dude's a spud!

I actually think Moscow had a better team before the trade period... I'd much rather have the depth of the original team, and that's not even taking into account the draft picks Moscow had. The only issue is D4.

D: H. Shaw, R.Murphy, P. Seedsman, J.Hombsch/J.Frawley/S.Colquhoun
M: R. Griffen, N.Fyfe, C. Ward, A.Treloar
R: N. Naitanui
F: D. Martin, A. Monfries, M.Waters, C.Dixon
U: S.Higgins, J.Thomas

Emg: J.Darling, L.Adams, D.Tyson

W.Hoskin-Elliot, A.Sexton, T.Vickery

[Nige]

I agree with every word of that post, Richard.

[Holz]

Holz lost half the trades he made, he just started with lots of good young kids. It's like one of those teams full of 40 young kids then he traded them all for premiums. He'll also struggle after a couple injuries.

here is my first 20 players drafted, as you will see its clearly just a bunch of good young kids

S.D.Thompson, T.Chaplin, N.Grima, S.Burgoyne
D.Thomas, D.Mundy, M.Barlow, J.Caddy
S Mumford
N.Riewoldt, P.Chapman, A.Schnieder, T.Walsh
Z.Clarke, J.Caddy

S.Day, B.Thornton, G.Ugle, W.Sierakowski, I.Folua, K.Aylett


granted I did pick up atley black and Hansen later but going pick 350+ not really classified as good young kids at the time. 

My starting 15 has actually got younger by the way.

[DazBurg]

D: Kade Simpson, Jarrod Harbrow, Marley Williams, Luke McPharlin
M: Matt Priddis, Nathan Jones, Daniel Rich, Luke Ball
R: Matthew Lobbe
F: Chad Wingard, Justin Westhoff, Cyril Rioli, Matthew Pavlich
I:  Jonathon Griffin, Dylan Shiel

HP and i are hoping for some better luck with injuries in 2014  8)

Not a team I would like to play in the finals , that forward line could go huge and lobbe could easily go 105+ next year.
