Davo I`d.....
Add Logue for height and speed (193cm), Nyhuis to take care of the "Flyin Ryan" types. Rest of the backline selects itself if Logue can be the third tall.
Get rid of Langdon on the wing, too many turnovers and put the guy ranked number one for elite disposals and accurate inside 50s in the VFL (Bewley) on the wing. (well it was some stat similar to that, cant be bothered to look it up again). Runs exactly like Judd but kicks better and is a left footer.
Cammac and Cox has to go with the new recruits, otherwise we will be too lumbering in the forward line. Inject young Sturt and pull Walters out of the middle to really give a spread of speed and height up there.
I havent put Bennell in because... well you know why. If hes fit I guess he squeezes in somewhere.
This new team is now a MUCH better kicking team. Probably only Fyfe, Blakely, Pearce, Ballas, Tabs and Langdon are the mediocre kicks and of them only Tabs and Langdon are truly bad. I expect a lot less turnovers next year.
This is no team of skinny kids any more. Look at that spine, thats solid muscle. Our Ruck division is pretty solid too.
The additions of Conca, Bewley, Lobb, Hogan and Logue are big lads. Injuries notwithstanding we should play finals next year.
(I can hear Hypen laughing)
This is my ideal team for round 1 (although Hogan/Logue may not be ready).
