@scotty21 LOL
Update your best 22 to include 2MP or Iām putting out a Jihad on you!
Rofl
Francis Ambrose Gleeson
Ridley zerk Smith
Merrett McGrath Langford
Draper Shiel Dunkley*
Redman Stewart guelfi
Tippa hooker stringer
Hams hepp parish Snelling
Emg: 2mp lav Clarke
How have our forward and backlines gotten even worse
Our forward didnāt get worse; McKernan is gone.
Our good players left and we donāt have anyone to replace them
Yikes. Thatās not pretty
Itās not no. The hole Saad and McKenna leave is enormous. Guelfi and Redman give me heart palpitations down back because they both instinctively hunt the ball. I think both could be assets in the grunt half if we can become a front half team.
Desperately hoping Irish back flank mk 3 comes from the clouds. Maybe we could give lav a go there.
Obviously you can argue the toss on a few players like 2MP, Hurley, Lav, Caldwell etc but if Rutten can get that team or a close variant of that team to play finals they should build a statue of him at The Hangar immediately.
Bloody hell, that looks grim.
What about Caldwell*
what a terrible side. FMD we are utterly cooked, anyone who doesnāt think we are bottom 6 is kidding themselves. just keep getting in high end picks
Iām hoping that one out of Irish, Hird and Johnson comes from the clouds.
3 hitsā¦ hopefully one comes off
Forgot about Caldwell. You can probably squeeze him in somewhere off a good preseason.
The small defenders are a real problem though. I expect theyāll persist with Redman and he might recapture his form down there but Iād actually like to see him tried in the front half
Itās all good. Scorch just said Saad might stay so best whack him into your best22.
Assuming we hang onto a top 10 pick hopefully we get someone who is ready to go and can slot in to half back or half forward for a year or two before moving on to bigger things
Maybe but Iād prefer a really pure strong mid not a disco flanker mid special.
Our midfield depth is Clarke ATM. Hopefully Caldwell happens but I think weād be hoping to get at least one more very likely looking midfield prospect in the draft. This seems likely unless we upgrade for luke McDonald
Take Dunkley out and it looks 100 times worse
you havenāt done us any favours but, naming guelfi and redman on the HFF
Zaha takes one HFF.
Midfieldās the strongest part of the ground with or without Dunkley.
