2023: SC Planning Thread
- Thread starter Gruffles
- Start date
Ziebell just about a lock down back, F/D DPP at round 6 makes him a lot easier to start as well as doesn't impede the DPP influx that's probable to the forwards, especially valuable for those who, like me, want to go heavy rookies down back as he can swing there in round 6 to plug up a spot.
Sheezel should be a good one so good to see him in the probables, a bit more expensive that you'd want on the bench but if there's nothing else it's definitely good to have the option there, could definitely be startable. Looking at the team, have to think sub is a genuine prospect for him though.
Cunnington also a must watch, his history is too strong to be ignored if his role is right. Their midfield is going to be very interesting in general. LDU and Simpkin are locks but Cunningon, Phillips, Sheezel, Powell, Greenwood, Howe, Taylor, Scott, McDonald, Tucker, Shiels, Thomas, Turner, Lazzaro and Hall all are names that could go through there so picking the other 3 or so is pretty difficult. I know I'd have Cunnington as a clear 2nd but his age and their list profile makes it questionable if you play him there full time and get the best results or develop some of the younger guys. Talk in the writeup of the game was Cunnington was pushing forward often.
Probably the hardest team to pick of them all. Early guess would be:
B: McDonald McKay Corr
HB: Hall Logue Ziebell
C: Howe Cunnington Scott
HF: Taylor Larkey Greenwood
F: XX Zurhaar CCJ
R: Goldstein Simpkin LDU
Int: Shiels XX XX XX
Forward pocket I'd think is between Ford, Curtis, Turner, Mahony, Spicer and Stephenson. So a lot of options.
CCJ could easily be Xerri or Comben also or even an extra small if they want to back Goldy in.
The bench is an absolute cluster with Phillips, Powell, Sheezel, Thomas (ignored for now), Mahony, Stephenson, Wardlaw, Tucker, Bonar, Young, Curtis, Bergman, Goater, Archer, Lazzaro, Spicer, Perez, Ford and Dawson all having genuine cases depending how Clarko goes about it.
Based on the teams for the match it would seem Curtis is in the lead for the FP and that Goater, Sheezel, Bonar, Archer, Perez, Turner and Phillips are the leaders of the group that I didn't name. Howe, Phillips, Bergman, Spicer, Ford, Young, Stephenson and Dawson all played for the second team (Howe returning from injury so may not mean anything). Corr, Hall, Logue and Taylor were not playing that I have in their 22, I'd guess that Bonar, Goater/Perez, Archer/Turner (assume he played back, no mention) and Phillips/Sheezel would be the guys that make way for that group as all 4 are pretty safe best 22 I'd think.
There's also the chance that Clarko goes young in which case the likes of Howe, Shiels, Greenwood and Cunnington are either playing twos or not used in primary roles.

I would have thought Goater would just play up the ground, his debut was on a wing after all and he played most of his junior career as a midfielder, would be surprised if hes not best 22 in a side thats just won the spoon and really needs to develop some young talent.
Played a fair bit of half forward in school footy aswell North's biggest decision will be deciding where they play him I suspect but I'd be shocked if he got left out altogether.

Once you get to the 265K tag you really need around 75-80 to work, becomes very awkward from a guy that's likely playing a bit of a nothing role with hopefully some midfield rotations, his flexibility and lack of a tank also screams sub but I could be wrong on that one.
Does sound like his primary role is down back though and they've got a load of that type.

I really struggle to see how he fits in to their best 22. He's a good talent but they're loaded at his best position and loaded at just about anything else he looks capable of playing right now while he builds a fitness base.
Bonner, Burton and DBJ is a very steady group of small defenders. Boak, Wines, Houston, Rozee, Butters, JHF and Drew is too much midfield talent to play him there and then you've got Rioli, SPP and the midfield leftovers up forward.
I also think he's got the ability to be a very solid HB/BP type at AFL level but I wouldn't say he's in their best 22 in that role, not yet.

I didn't trust Rutten to save himself and
now they sign bloody Scott who is probably even worse for just doing dumb that doesn't make any structural sense, very hard to pick a Bomber to start the year for mine, other than maybe Tippa as a cash cow if he looks good in the praccies.
