AJ to get his 4th reco in August if all goes well

QuoteA series of complications and infections, which will hopefully come to a head after his fourth reconstruction scheduled for August, has seen Johnson experience adversity which no up-and-comer should ever experience.

i think they need to let him settle in defence before the try to create a swingman, let him learn the ropes for a season at least.

Capper · March 25, 2015, 12:50:28 PM

ok round 1 team, who do we think will make it?

SydneyRox · March 25, 2015, 01:02:41 PM

Ok, here is a crack

Backs: Rhyce Shaw, Ted Richards, Nick Smith
HBback: Dane Rampe, Heath Grundy, Lewis Jetta
CTR: Jarrod McVeigh, Kieren Jack, Daniel Hannebery
HFwd: Craig Bird, Lance Franklin, Harry Cunningham
Fwd: Adam Goodes, Kurt Tippett, Ben McGlynn
Foll: Mike Pyke, Josh Kennedy, Luke Parker
Int: Sam Reid, Gary Rohan, Isaac Heeney(S), Tom Mitchell

Wow, thats pretty hard. Couldnt find room for Towers, Lloyd, Bjack or a backup ruckman like Naismith/Nank.

So IMO the most at risk is Mitchell, and Towers might be the one to take his spot.

If McGlynn misses, Lloyd comes in.
If Tippett misses Towers or Naismith come in.

here is my crack not too much difference

B: Rhyce Shaw, Ted Richards, Nicholas Smith
HB: Lewis Jetta, Heath Grundy, Dane Rampe
C: Daniel Hannebery, Jarrad McVeigh, Tom Mitchell
HF: Ben McGlynn, Lance Franklin, Kieren Jack
F: Adam Goodes, Kurt Tippett, Craig Bird
Foll: Mike Pyke, Josh Kennedy, Luke Parker (c)
Int: Issac Heeney, Sam Reid, Jake Lloyd, Gary Rohan (s)

Wasnt sure whether to go Lloyd or Cunners. Towers and BJack unlucky.

Similar McGlynn misses Cunners comes in, Towers comes in for Tippett, XR or Laidler for Def.

I dont see Goodes playing all 22 so Towers will see some game time this year

My Chumps · March 26, 2015, 10:48:36 PM

Hopefully Reid really cements a spot in that back six this year otherwise we might be in a bit of strife.

Also reckon that McGlynn should go back to his forward role and only pinch hit in the mids. Rohan should play solely up front too. Too shaky down back to be a viable option.

I wish we didn't have to play Shaw. Hopefully Jetta really solidifies his spot back there and we can give him the flick.

This is how it landed.

B Rhyce Shaw, Heath Grundy, Nick Smith
HB Dane Rampe, Ted Richards, Gary Rohan
C Harry Cunningham, Josh P. Kennedy, Craig Bird
HF Kieren Jack, Sam Reid, Adam Goodes
F Isaac Heeney, Lance Franklin, Kurt Tippett
FOL Mike Pyke, Dan Hannebery, Luke Parker
I/C Jeremy Laidler, Lewis Jetta, Jake Lloyd, Dean Towers
EMG Tom Mitchell, Sam Naismith, Daniel Robinson

McVeigh and McGlynn out injured, Mitchell cant get a gig?? Robinson unlucky IMO to miss out to Lloyd
