Desperately need some injuries to get rid of selection headaches.
shhhhh
Thought Iād revisit my best 22 from March for laughs.
I obviously failed to pick TBCās return to form and the development of McKenna and Stewart. They need to come in for Luey, Stanton andā¦ Lav. I couldnāt quite fit in Myers. although he may have forced his way in by seasonās end.
FB McGrath Hartley, Ambrose
HB Gleeson, Hurley, Kelly
CEN Zaharakis, Watson, McKenna
HF Tipungwuti, Daniher, Stewart
FF Fantasia, Hooker, Green
FOLL TBC, Heppell, Z Merrett
INT: Colyer, Baguley, Goddard, Parish
EME: Myers, Laverde, Langford, Brown

Not sure where that came from! I meant Stewart.
My first effort. Had too much faith in older players (Hocking, Stanton, Leuy), and put a few too many pure midfielders in. If you count Colyer as a HFF/mid, weāve effectively been playing 7 backs, 7 forwards all year which leaves two pure mids on the bench (relatively speaking). I had four midfielders on the bench.
I know this is not post draft, but with so many list changes already pre draft - i thought this would be an exciting time to think about our best 22.
B: Saad - Hartley - Ambrose
HB: Goddard - Hurley - McKenna
C: McGrath - Parish - Zaharakis
HF: Stringer - Daniher - Smith
F: Fantasia - Hooker - Tipungwuti
R: Bellchambers - Heppell - Merrett
INT: Stewart - Langford - Gleeson - Begley/Baguley/Laverde
All of our speed is on the ground, so if you want some balance. Swap Stewart and Smith, and Saad and Gleeson
How should be we interpret Wooshaās recently stated preference to never play Joe D in the ruck?
Big preseason for STEW
If he could get his contested marking mojo going he will be dangerous. That and a little more intent with his tackling.
B: Saad - Ambrose - Baguely
HB: Gleeson - Hurley - McKenna
C: McGrath - Parish - Zaharakis
HF: Stringer - Daniher - Stewart
F: Fantasia - Hooker - Tipungwuti
R: Bellchambers - Heppell - Merrett
INT: Smith - Bonar - Goddard - Sambono
Really donāt know unless it is someone else coming in. Really none of our non-rucks other than JD can fill that role.
Now, we could go with two rucks, and move Hooker back. So a forward line of JD, Belly and Stewart with Belly as the clunker/spiller. But one injury to either Belly or Leuy and thatās out the window, and I donāt think it would be as effective as our current setup.

Agreed.
Maybe the hold-up with Stringer is that we donāt want to take Million Dollar Baby as well.
Ok, so hereās mine:
B: Hurley - Hartley - Baguley
HB: Saad - Ambrose - McKenna
C: McGrath - Zaharakis - Fantasia
HF: Stringer - Daniher - Stewart
F: Green - Hooker - Tipungwuti
R: Bellchambers - Heppell - Merrett
INT: Parish (M) - Smith (M/HF) - Goddard (M/HB) - Gleeson (HB)
EMER: Myers (M) - Begley (HF) - Langford (C/HF) - Laverde (C/HF) [Francis (HB)?]
Fantasia to be released to the midfield. Parish and Smith also rotating through midfield, with guest appearances from Walla and Stringer (for x-factor) and Goddard (if a bigger body is required).
Hopefully some of the emergencies could force their way into the side with improved form (Myers) or ongoing development (the rest), probably at the expense of Green, Gleeson or Hartley (if we play Hurls as a KPD or swing Hooker back).
Everyone does realise this is the post 2016 draft best 22 thread, right?

Rightā¦well Iāll go with:
Baguley Hartly Ambrose
Kelly Hurley Gleeson
Goddard Watson Stanton
Fanta Daniher Laverde
Walla Hooker Green
Looney Heppell, Merrett
Zaharakis, Myers, Colyer, Hocking

Pretty sure the 2016 draft is still in the past.
I liked your descriptive approach but have fiddled with your line up a little.
B: Baguley - Hurley - Gleeson
HB: Saad - Hooker - McKenna
C: McGrath - Parish - Zaharakis
HF: Stringer - Daniher - Fantasia
F: Green - Stewart - Tipungwuti
R: Bellchambers - Heppell - Merrett
INT: Smith (M/HF) - Goddard (M/HB) - Begley (HF) - Langford (C/HF)
EMER: Myers (M) - Laverde (C/HF) - Colyer (M/HF/HB) - Francis (HB) - Ambrose (HB/B) - Hartley (HB/B) - Brown (B/HB/HF/F) - Ridley (B/HB/HF)
The main thing I notice is the extent of our 3rd tall type options.
Hehe I love how everyone is already putting the 3 Ss is their line ups.
Hold your horses!
Weāre -75 minutes into draft period and Dudoro still hasnāt wrapped them up.
