Much will depend on the preseason games and how players perform. I hope we see a couple of the newbies in R1 at least and I would nominate Jaksch and BB but again , injuries could be the big factor with Jaksch.

I'd love to see James also but I don't think he'll play R1.
James ?

Ooops, apologies GTC, I meant to say Clem Smith! (I used to know a Clem James, must be deeply embedded in the brain).  :-[

I would be shocked if Cripps is in for round 1. Would be great if he was.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Pre-season training and games could change all sorts of things, but as of right now, my best 22 looks like this.

FB - D. Buckley, M. Jamison, K. Jaksch
HB - K. Simpson, S. Rowe, S. Docherty
C - C. Yarran, A. Carrazzo, D. Thomas
R - M. Kreuzer, B. Gibbs, M. Murphy
HF - A. Walker, L. Jones, T. Menzel
FF - L. Casboult, L. Henderson, C. Judd

Int - A. Everitt, P. Cripps, N Graham
Sub - B. Boekhorst


Northern Blues

FB - M. Dick, C. Giles, N. Holman
HB - Z. Touhey, S White, C. Sheehan
C - D. Armfield, E. Curnow, D Viojo-Rainbow
R - R Warnock, T. Bell, M. Whiley
HF - D. Ellard, J. Foster, B. Johnson
FF - C Wood, M. Watson, J. Tutt

Int - B. Gowers, B. Walsh, T. Fields
Sub - C. Smith
Emg - C. Byrne or F. Russell

The way I see it;
Jaksch needs to be a better option than Simon White
A fit Carrazzo plays, it's up to 1 of the youngsters to win the spot off him
Jones needs to be able to hold down a KPF spot, it's his til he loses it IMO
Everitt is the ultimate swingman, he can play nearly anywhere
Cripps needs to become the next best center square player after, Judd, Carrots, Gibbs and Murph
Boeky gets the vest ahead of DVR, for now
The last spot was a real toss up, I gave it to Graham, but there are 4-5 who were unlucky to miss


A look at the NB team shows me that we are still a KPD short, other than that, I reckon we look pretty good !!

Go Blues !!

My spine would be
Jamison
Henderson
Gibbs
Casboult
Jones

My starting on ball brigade would be
Kruezer
Murphy
Judd

Others that must be in there somewhere
Yarran Menzell

Fill in the rest with as many newbies as many newbies as practicable and we will win more than we lose.

2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

I can't see how blokes who were struggling to get a game with teams that finished below us on the ladder can be walk up starts.  Same with blokes who were playing state league or under 18.  Of course, they could blitz the pre-season or may get a game to fit an agenda.

My team for round 1 is:

FB - Yarran, Jamison, Buckley
HB - Tuohy, Rowe, Everitt
C - Simpson, Gibbs, Thomas
HF - Walker, Henderson, Menzel
FF – Cripps, Casboult, Judd
Fol - Kreuzer, Murphy, Curnow
Int - Watson, White, Docherty, Graham

Nah, haven't you heard? He's cooked and got nothing left in the tank. :))

He only needs to come on in Q3 for the obligatory game winning 10 mins anyway. ;)

FB -K Simpson, M. Jamison, C.Sheehan
HB -Z.Touhy, S. Rowe, C. Yarran
C - A Everitt, Judd, B Boekhorst
R - M. Kreuzer, B. Gibbs, M. Murphy
HF - A. Walker, L. Henderson,, D. Thomas
FF - L. Casboult, L. Jones, T. Menzel

Int - S White, Curnow, Carrazzo
Sub - Buckley or Cripps

I have Jaksch out injured with White in and like I said before I think Boekhorst will play and start on the wing.
Sheehan is a favourite of Mick and will be in the team for rnd 1 IMO.

I would expect Richmond to start three talls down forward to make us swing Henderson down back....
I also have the feeling ex Northern Blue in Kane Lambert might do a Barlow and be a star in the NAB cup and get promoted and play rnd1 for the Tigers......I wouldnt have minded picking him up the more I think about it ...

No love for Judd EB? Im guessing that's a mistake and not intentional?!

Interesting that you have both Irishman ahead of Docherty. If that's how it goes it's great news for the Irish, not so great for Docherty and the recruiting department !!

Curnow is a walk up start for Round 1. He is set specific tasks and rarely lets them down. They love the way he goes about his work.

Yep, Curnow will be one of the first picked for round 1, and go straight to Cochin. He's done the job before.

The rest I just wasted.
