Re: 2009 TEAM
Not bad. Notice the absence of X Clarke. If he is still at the Saints I'd have him in the back pocket as an attacking option, rather than the injured Dempster.#1GILL wrote:Here is what i would like to see our team line up look like next year....

Can't see M Gardiner being at St Kilda next year. Give his spot as the 2nd ruckman to McEvoy.
Maguire to the bench, Blake to CHB.
Lastly, can't see us getting both Cousins and O'Keefe. I'm on record as being against Cousins due to concerns over body and age.

Do you think the timing of Dempster's injury, may just be a lifeline to X then?SENsaintsational wrote:Not bad. Notice the absence of X Clarke.

Re: 2009 TEAM
I doubt it, X can't do the shut down job we need, they'd be more inclined to look at Geary for that. I think Geary's pretty useless myself, but doubt X would be any good, he's a s*** tackler so..ohwhenthesaints! wrote:Do you think the timing of Dempster's injury, may just be a lifeline to X then?SENsaintsational wrote:Not bad.

Re: 2009 TEAM
I think X down back with the ability to run straight at the ball could turn his career around. He has the ability to spoil and tackle when committed and confident. Put him down back with his brother and you just never know. Raph turned his career around down back. Maybe X could do the same.ohwhenthesaints! wrote:Do you think the timing of Dempster's injury, may just be a lifeline to X then?SENsaintsational wrote:Not bad. Notice the absence of X Clarke.

Something like this:-
Gilbert Hudgden Montagna
S. Fisher Maguire Gram
Riewoldt Goddard Hayes
X. Clarke Koschitzke xxxxxxxx
Ball Allen Steven
King Dal Santo xxxxxxx
M. Gardiner R. Clarke xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx
McEvoy needs a couple of stone on his frame to compete in the ruck but may get opportunities as a forward in the meantime because of his height, marking and kicking abilities.
R. Clarke gives the flexibility to rotate Montagna, Gram and S. Fisher (and even Gilbert as a wild card) plus into the mid-field himself.
Granted the rucks (King & M. Gardiner) and Hudgden are mature aged players, but their inclusions are because of a lack of options on our list.
But the rest, including Hayes, still have years left in them and need to form the basis of our side going forward.
Fingers and toes crossed with Maguire, otherwise we need a class key defender for CHB so you can insert xxxxxxx there.
So 4, maybe 5, players short, all most capable of rotating thru the mid-field and one snagging multiple goals.
Once you get past the above, the issue of depth becomes obvious.
Armitage needs fitness and a running coach.
Howard needs to show he has "it".
The concern is that our to be Drafted players will need time to make an impact, so can not be relied upon in 2009.

they kicked 90-odd goals between them in 2008 and i'd have both of them, plus riewoldt (who kicked 70-odd) as definite ins and close to the goals.
that's 160-odd goals you've taken from the forward line and yours simply doesn't have enough proven goal-kickers in it.
here's an early stab at mine, with much depending on fitness of course
B: Baker (if fit), Hudghton, X. Clarke
HB: Gram, Maguire (if fit), S. Fisher
C: Blake, Hayes, Gilbert
HF: Milne, Riewoldt, Dal Santo
F: Koschitzke, Goddard, Schneider
Foll: King, R. Clarke, Ball
Inter: Montagna, C. Jones, Armitage, Gwilt.
* dal santo and goddard replace gwilt and c. gardiner in the forward line, adding some much-needed class.
* r clake added to the mids rotation.

Pretty MG will not be with us next year and doubley sure Rooy isnt going to be on the wing. Surely Milne will be in the side also as will Schneider.To the top wrote:Something like this:-

I refuse to ever do these teams. Have never done one and never will as there probably has never been once in the history of the club everyone is available and in form. I will say though Milne, Scneiger and Rooy will be in the forward line as will Kosi if he stays.bigcarl wrote:how do you line them up, plugger?plugger66 wrote:Pretty MG will not be with us next year and doubley sure Rooy isnt going to be on the wing.

i agree with that. i do think that if you are going to take potshots at others' ideas that you disclose your own team, though.plugger66 wrote:I will say though Milne, Scneiger and Rooy will be in the forward line as will Kosi if he stays.
