West Coast Best 22 for 2015

[LF]

We are discussing this on chat atm and it`s actually a little harder than I thought it would be.
So fire away who you think is Eagles best 22 with every player available.

Mid: Gaff, Priddis, Rosa
HF: Darling, McGovern, Masten
FF: LeCras, Kennedy, Waters
Foll: Nic, Selwood, Yeo
Int: Shuey, Lycett, Hutch, Eski/McGinnity/Pickett

Hopefully we can snare Eski for a season or two to release Hurn into the midfield/wing at the expense of Rosa.

Masten would go long before Rosa, he is one of our best players when fit

[Phasir]

I don't think Rosa will be seen as part of our future though, he's top lad, but Masten is seen as a Mid/HFF which is the flexibility that Simpson wants.  Rosa's a winger & that seems to be it.
No comment on Waters in the pocket?  :-X

[elephants]

I'll chuck one up after trading/drafting is complete 8)

[LF]

I personally think Shepp fits in somewhere as well.
Will try to do a team after the trade period etc

[shaker]

Living over in the east have heard very little about Waters how is he going , can he get back to his best ?

Comment: The Eagles never had a fully fit squad to choose from last season so Adam Simpson never got the chance to reveal his first choice 22. The queries with this line up surround Beau Waters fitness and structural match ups for their starting opponents, the Western Bulldogs. Waters will likely be declared fit but he has not played for 18 months and he is still yet to do full contact training he could potentially slot into defence should he string some games together in the pre-season. Jamie Bennell and Brad Sheppard are also fighting for roles as small defenders but Sam Butlers finish to last season probably has him in the team. Mark Hutchings could mount a strong case for a role in the midfield rotation or as the sub. It would take an extraordinary performance in the pre season for any of the first or second-year players to break into the Eagles line-up. - Alex Malcolm


I think Hutch gets in before Welligham and Bennell surely has a spot as well

[The_Captain]

Bennell Hutchings and Sheed all stiff. But id say they would be the emergencies.

Then blokes like Duggan and maybe Lamb to play once we have 4 or 5 injuries.

I/C: Sam Butler, Will Schofield, Xavier Ellis, Matt Rosa

Not picked: Patrick McGinnity, Jamie Bennell, Dom Sheed, Callum Sinclair

No new faces after a quiet trade period. Adam Simpson will be praying Waters, Selwood, Darling and Wellingham are fit for Round 1.

No complaints there. WOuld have rosa on wing before gaff but. Can see Sheed edging out a Butler/Schofield type if he hits his potential this year. Dont think they would go with that side as you have 3 backs on bench... I know those blokes are flexible.. But you would love another pure mid rotation at least..

Appalling lack of Hutchings.
