In reply to: collingwoodj 's message, "MY 23 plus emergencies and the VFL 18* in starting positions" on 15:15 15/12/24 Sun

IF and it's a reasonable "if", McInnes is really as good as reported in defence and ready for that role. I'd have him at CHB as the Murphy replacement. Otherwise it'd be a toss up between CJ's lineup OR bringing Frampton in. Horses for courses.

J.Daicos playing HB at training, to me, doesn't necessarily mean he will play there most of the time but likely some of the time. I expect he will be multi-positional, most of our players are. But his best work has been on the wing, to date. So I've got no reason to re-invent the wheel there. He can move back during games, but I'd start him on the wing.

Sidey and Pendles both starting on the bench. Again, horses for courses. But I wouldn't particularly want 2-3 of Mitchell, Pendles and Sidebottom in the middle at once. Maybe Sidebottom can move forward now.

FB: Maynard Moore Quaynor --> Tall support covered
HB: Houston McInnes Howe --? Attacking, skilled small/mediums

R: Cameron Mitchell N.Daicos --> Best mix of grunt/skill, imo
C: Hill DeGoey J.Daicos -------> Some pace with Nick and Hill

HF: McCreery McStay Shultz -> Good talls, great small/med
FF: Elliot Mihocek Membrey -> Most of them can provide 35g+

INT:
Crisp
Perryman
Pendlebury
Sidebottom

SUB:
WHE

***If that's not the best bottom 5 in the league (perhaps of all time), I don't know what is.***

Unlucky to miss out: Lippa. It comes down to him or WHE for me, I think WHE offers more. But I expect Fly will find a place for Lippa. Seems to really value him

Lippa did finish seventh in the Copeland -- Thommo, 13:15 16/12/24 Mon
- Agree Thommo. -- Josh, 13:37 16/12/24 Mon
  - agree with this; ongoing issues with his foot (structural? /biomechnical?) not a good sign as you age -- sam-e, 15:39 16/12/24 Mon
You can slot lippa on the wing and HF. Josh D is back off half back. -- Jen2310, 14:41 16/12/24 Mon
- Sidde seems the most interesting one IMO... -- Kaistar, 20:04 16/12/24 Mon
- Membrey is depth -- Rizonico, 11:33 17/12/24 Tue
  - Membrey was offered a 2 year contract by the saints, he desisted himself -- Optimax, 12:47 17/12/24 Tue
  - Are you suggesting we go wtih Cox instead? Or no third tall? -- Cakewalk, 12:54 17/12/24 Tue
    - Agree Cakewalk. -- Josh, 16:53 17/12/24 Tue
      - I wouldn't be judicious having big Dan coming off an acl getting involved with more ruckwork -- Pyeman WPBD, 15:45 18/12/24 Wed
        Fair point -- Cakewalk, 07:10 19/12/24 Thu
        I reckon Cox is a better second ruck than McStay anyway and -- collingwoodj, 13:08 21/12/24 Sat
        He is but he's not a better forward than Membrey -- Cakewalk, 17:53 21/12/24 Sat
    - So far nobody apart from the rucks have been doing ruck work -- Jen2310, 15:58 18/12/24 Wed
      - Pity Head Office didn't scrap the sub and just go with 5 on the bench... -- rooka..., 17:21 18/12/24 Wed
        Agree, can't play them all -- Cakewalk, 07:09 19/12/24 Thu
        Depends if we only play Moore and Howe as the tall backs -- Tim, 07:30 19/12/24 Thu
        All our talls bar Darcy are over 30 now, yeah? -- Geek, 11:10 20/12/24 Fri
        Yep. Plus we could potentially swing membrey and brody back if needed (NT) -- Tim, 17:54 20/12/24 Fri
        I agree, nobody likes the sub rules apart from the afl. -- Jen2310, 15:29 19/12/24 Thu
        Rooka .. well said 5 main interchange would have helped Cox.. Membrey -- Pendles Boys, 21:15 21/12/24 Sat
      - That's good news (NT) -- Pyeman WPBD, 17:55 18/12/24 Wed
        Which team other than Freo plays two rucks? -- Thommo, 12:31 20/12/24 Fri
        The current depth of experienced players is excellent -- Rusty, 08:43 22/12/24 Sun
        We'll need to play it by ear. -- JtP, 11:03 22/12/24 Sun
