AXVs Predicted 2015 Teams

[Ricochet]

Was having a chat to Ele about what the Crocs will look like next year with possible positional changes. We have a few changes that would be locked in and a couple of maybes. Thought it would be interesting to see other teams as well. Plus its been a been quiet around here lately. So yeh chuck up your predicted 2015 side if you want.





2015 Predicted Team
Frawley will get FWD status
Caddy may lose FWD status
Buckley gets DEF status
MBRown should get FWD status
Wellingham may get FWD status again
Parker may lose FWD status


DEF  Corey Enright [102], Heath Shaw [102], Harry Taylor [77], Jimmy Webster [66]
(Dylan Buckley, Tayte Pears, Dylan Grimes, Jackson Trengrove, Dylan Roberton, Kamdyn McIntosh, Jack Frost, Jordan Lockyer)


MID  Gary Ablett Jnr [156], Scott Pendlebury [148], Tom Liberatore [140], Steele Sidebottom [135]

UTIL  Bryce Gibbs [126],  Luke Parker[139]
(Koby Stevens, Josh Caddy, Shane Savage, Claye Beams, Elliot Kavanagh, Nick Graham, Will Hams, Jackson Sheringham, Nick O'Brien, Dylan Main, Josh Cowan)


RUCK  Brodie Grundy [80]
(Jarrod Witts, Dawson Simpson, Angus Graham)


FWD  Luke Dahlhaus [128], Jack Darling [117], James Frawley [109], Sharrod Wellingham [95]
(Aaron Black, Jamie Cripps, Sam Lloyd,Dean Towers, Dylan Addison, Darren Minchington, Tom Curran, Mitchell W. Brown[GEE], Sam Menegola)



Think our backline is going to take a massive hit losing Frawley :(

[Toga]

Not sure there's gonna be a lot of big positional changes for us but some I think should happen will be:

• Jon Giles gains FWD (R/F)
• Nathan Gordon gains FWD (M/F)

But there's a good chance we're gonna be hit by a couple of retirements I think, so if we assume ROK and Petrie retire (maybe Scotty Thompson too, idk) then our team will look like:

D: J.McVeigh, P.Hanley, B.Houli, L.Dunn
(A.Rance, N.Smith, C.O'Shea*, N.Bock, T.Logan, S.Gilham, K.Hartigan*)

M: S.Johnson, M.Priddis, M.Murphy, S.Thompson, A.Cooney, H.Hartlett
(L.Dunstan, G.Horlin-Smith, N.van Berlo, T.Hunt, A.Moore, T.Colyer, M.Newman*)

R: J.Giles
(M.Pyke, R.Lobb, T.Nankervis, C.Moller)

F: K.Tippett, C.Dixon, T.Lynch, H.Ballantyne
(C.Knights, N.Gordon, H.Crozier, A.Young, D.Armfield, Cl.Cameron, Ch.Cameron*, J.Sicily, M.Duffy*, C.Williams*)

So really our Best XV won't change a whole lot because ROK isn't really in our Best XV at the moment, and Petrie can be easily covered by either Giles (DPP) or Knights. If Thompson were to go as well then Lukey Dunstan would slot straight into the team, he's been a fantastic pickup for us.

[Ricochet]

Yeh we'll probably lose Enright as well lol. If you could give us McVeigh that would be great :P

[Toga]

Haha you'd love him I'm sure but don't think he'll be going anywhere ;) But that begs another question will McVeigh keep DPP? ???

[Ricochet]

I would have thought so but have no idea tbh.

[Memphistopheles]

Enright will likely retire at the end of this season I think.

Taiwan Dolphins

2015 Predicted Changes
Harley Bennell will get FWD/MID status
Guthrie will get MID status and probably lose DEF
Kreuzer should be FIT
Langford should get MID status and may lose DEF
Jamie Bennell will get DEF status and will lose MID
Josh Hunt will retire

Team

D: D. Terlich, N. Vlastuin, C. Sutcliffe, Z. Tuohy
(J. Bennell, J. Patfull, A. Toovey, T. Cutler, S. Colquhoun, J. Hutchins, S. McMahon, N. Wright, S. Wright (FWD), J. Kolojashniji)

M: S. Coniglio, H. Bennell (FWD), M. Rosa, C. Guthrie
(C. Jones, R. Lester, J. Stringer, W. Langford, J. Barrett, C. Ellis-Yolmen, N. Holman, N. Bourke)

R: M. Kreuzer
(T. Derickx, C. Wood)

F: C. Rioli (MID), E. Betts, J. Winderlich, J. Murdoch
(T. Varcoe, T. Dickson, S. Gumbleton, T. Boyd, T. Campbell, C. Dell'Olio, J. Marsh, N. Hayes, J. Bourke)

Still not a great side with plenty of passengers to move on but the kids will be a year older which should help.

Will be targeting more youngsters in the off-season and looking to offload guys like Matt Rosa, Clinton Jones, Eddie Betts, Jason Winderlich and Travis Varcoe in exchange for younger talents.

Very solid defence there mate. How much has DMart been playing fwd this year?

[Rusty00]

PNG Head Hunters

2015 Predicted Changes
Rhys Stanley will lose DEF and get FWD possible RUCK as well
Tyson Goldsack will get FWD to go with his DEF
Tom Bell hopefully moves to another club ;)

Can't any other changes

Team

D: S Burgoyne, M Williams, C Garland, T Goldsack
(A Mullett, L Spurr, B Whitecross, B Sinclair, L Plowman, K Aylett, A Browne)

M: T Rockliff, D Heppell, A Swallow, S Gibson
(D Pearce, E Curnow, D Mackay, M Evans, T Bell, H Cunningham, N Freeman, V Michie, B Jack, J Schroder, D Lang)

R: Z Clarke
(T West, S Naismith, A Phillips)

F: J Elliott, L Thomas, J Blair, J Billings
(J Garlett, R Stanley, R Tarrant, B Colledge, M Close, M Karpany)

We don't have the best depth in our squad so we can't afford to have the injuries we have had this season. Hopefully some of the youngsters come through a bit.

Cheers Ric, probably too strong, will need to trade a couple of them.
Dusty has played a lot in the midfield in the last few weeks and has dominated.
Before that he was up forward for large periods of time and was disappointing. I think they may keep him in the midfield for the rest of the year, as he's been our best player this year, so could lose DPP. Not a huge shock though, always thought he was a chance to lose it this year.

Yeh I'm in the same boat with Parker. Played a bit of both.

Just flick your defenders towards us mate ;)

Haha, sure. I've got 8, possibly 9 that are capable of starting, so will need to trade a couple.

[Toga]

Would take some defenders off your hands except.... McVeigh, Hanley, Houli, Dunn is already too star-studded ;) 8)

Don't trade with them Ric, come trade with me.

We also have a surplus of defenders. Although not necessarily useful ones :P
