Re: Best 22 for 2014
Reply #14 –
I just had a bit of a play and came up with this !!
It's not really a best 22 or a rnd 1 22, TBH I'm not really sure what it is !! Probably more so what I would like to see at some stage.
Carlton 22
FB, Simpson, Jamison, Everitt
HB, Touhy, Henderson, Docherty
C, Thomas, Gibbs, Yarran
R, Kreuzer, Bell, Murphy
HF, Menzel, Waite, Judd
FF, Walker, Casboult, Garlett
INT, McLean, Armfield, Cripps, Robinson
Northern Blues
FB, Bootsma, Watson, McInnes
HB, Duigan, Giles, Scotland
C, Lucas, Curnow, Buckley
R, Warnock, Carrazzo, Graham
HF, Temay, Rowe, Holman
FF, Ellard, White, Reynolds
INT, Woods, Cachia, Johnson, Sheehan
Emg, Bryne
A few thoughts;
There is some really good flexibility in our 1st team, I think MM would be happy with that.
I would love to see Judd spend a lot more time out of the centre square. If the likes of Bell and Cripps can step up in that area, I think it might really help Juddy's game.
While Walker and Everitt are interchangeable, I think I prefer Walker forward and Everitt back.
I'm hoping that Docherty can come in and play Yarran's run and carry role off half back straight away. Yarran to play on the wing or forward of centre.
No Scotland or Carrazzo in the 1st 22, they will need to force a younger player out to get a game, either way it's healthy competition !!
I think we have a really potent forward line, Caboult as a stay at home FF, Waite and Walker as the leading forwards. Menzel and Garlett are both class, and a number of goal kicking mids to fill the last spot.
The backline has height, flexability and experience. My biggest issue with our backline this year is it's coach !! Barker.
From the NB's, Buckley stood out to me as the player I would really like to press hard and make a claim for a spot in our 1st 22
