Please forgive me if this has already been discussed but was wondering what people thought our best XXII would look like next year.
You would assume that Rohan and McGlynn would be in it and probably Tippett if he comes.
Then you have the likes of Everitt, Walsh and Mitchell in the wings.
So who would be the premiership players to make way?
My team is......
B: shaw richards smith
HB johnson grundy armstrong
C: okeefe hannerbry mcveigh
HF: rohan reid jetta
F: mcglyn tippett goodes
FOLL: mumford kennedy jack
IC: malceski mitchell pyke bolton (meridith if jude retires
if your head is made out of chocolate dont stand out in the sun
I know it's tough to fit them all in....but...Originally Posted by cheersquadsteve
No - LRT, Bird, Mattner, Parker, Morton....no chance.
Rohan for one is highly unlikely to play seniors for at least the first half of next year, if at all next year, I'm sure they will be conservative with him.
Mitchell has shown little so far, he needs to stay injury free and play plenty of quality reserves games before even being considered.
Armstrong is at the back of the queue for HB flankers. Needs to improve defensively, and spend some time in the gym.
Grundy will need to hold out LRT to keep his spot.
My team:
FB : Mattner Richards Smith
HB : Shaw LRT Johnson
C : Jetta Okeefe Hannebery
HF : McVeigh Reid Goodes
F : McGlynn Tippett Bolton
FOL : Mumford Kennedy Jack
INT : Malceski Pyke Parker Bird
EMG : Grundy Morton Armstrong
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
You left off LRT - for shame!!!
2005 will live forever (or until we win another premiership)
GO BLOODS!!!!!!!!
Don't think Meredith will be in Swans colours next year
Assuming we get the big Tippo and Jude retires.
B: Shaw Richards Smith
HB: Johnson Grundy Mattner
C: Jetta Jack Hannebery
HF: Rohan Reid McVeigh
F: McGlynn Tippett Goodes
R: Mumford Kennedy O'Keefe
B: Parker, LRT, Morton, Malceski
LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

B: shaw, Richards, smith.
HB: Johnson, Grundy, Malceski.
C: Jetta, ROK, Mcveigh
HF: Rohan, Reid, Mcglyn.
F: LRT, Tippet, Goodes.
Following: Mumford, Kennedy, Jack.
Interchange: Hanners, Bolton, Parker, Armstrong.
Emergency: TDL, Mattner, Mitchell.
I don't think there will be room for 2 rucks if Tippet comes in, seeing how both Tippet and LRT can play second ruck.
Emergency Mattner?!?!?!?!
LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

The only reason I say that (which won't happen, this is what I want to happen) is because we need to start bringing in our younger kids, as a lot of our backline is getting old.
What about Mike Pyke?
Start with the team that won the Premiership. That team has the right to play Round 1 IMO. The only changes should be injury or retirement related, with the exception of McGlynn. The Tippett deal isn't over the line yet and Gaz won't be match ready until Rd 8 at the earliest IMO.
During the year I expect to see Gaz, Mitchell, Armstrong, Lamb & Walsh pressing and getting a few games. Hopefully a few others too.
Today's a draft of your epitaph
I was impressed with Everitt this year - especially the Geelong game at the SCG.
