Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.
Yeah, he's looking reasonably lean, tipping the scales at a shade under 90kg. Today he finished first in his group in the time trial. He looked knackered afterwards though.
All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)
Good signs for Gould. I'm hoping he cracks it this year.
The problem with some of these Best 22 or team suggestions for Round 1 2022 options, is that there was not space left for us to win the Rising Star nomination to start the year (and then win the next two as well). So the Best 22 needs to have Braeden Campbell or one of our newest draftees (etc) in the team!
And if any of our new draftees make the first 22 because of outstanding pre-season form (and not injury to a more established player) then that is a great for our team!
Tough to fault that. Looks pretty spot on to me.
I don't see Fox playing ahead of a fit Pelican
Wow. Your’ve gone for Corey Warner to start on the left wing. Although I’m a big fan of the family, I would give Stephens his shot first on the lest wing.
Given all the positive chat around the pre-season I thought I'd refresh this thread. The main reason being as a reminder of how difficult it actually is to fit everyone in to a 22.
My current team if forced to pick Round 1 would be:
FB: Cunningham, T. McCartin, Blakey
HB: Lloyd, Rampe, McInerney
C: Florent, Kennedy, Heeney
HF: Hayward, McDonald, Gulden
F: Papley, Franklin, Ch Warner
Foll: Hickey, Parker, Mills
Int: Campbell, Rowbottom, Stephens, Ladhams
Sub: Wicks
In this situation, I have sacrificed Melican as another tall so I could squeeze in more talent. I do think Melican will play many games but it will be opposition dependant.
I'm also controversially going with Campbell/Stephens over Wicks. I really like Wicks and realise he brings something that the others. In fact, I would be more than happy to have him in the side but when push came to shove, I went with Campbell and Stephens.
Others to miss out are McLean, Amartey, Fox, O'Riordan, Gould, and the new draftees.
A seriously strong team AB
Whos putting pressure on in your forward line
I think everyone in my suggested forward line is strong, athletic and competitive enough to create enough pressure.
AB I suspect that your suggestion re Stephens and Campbell over say Wicks makes sense from a perspective that as juniors they showed much more upside than say Wicks and they bring versatility re being able to play wing from defence and or mid.
But I also suspect that the role that Wicks plays is a critical role also ee shutting down an opposition key small forward. Are u saying this is Warner's role ? Is this the best use of Chad in our 22?
