I find it interesting where they group at 1/4 time & 3/4 time which really defines their most prominent role.B.M wrote: ↑Sun 03 Jan 2021 5:57pm You are never at full strength, so picking a best 22 is moot
But if we were at full strength (which means 7 backs, 7 forwards and 8 mids) it will be interesting to see where these players fit
Battle
Gresham
Clarke
As Battle is really the old fashion utility
Can play KF, KB, Wing, 3rd Fwd, 3rd Back
I think he is an important player in the 22 because he can play a role, but if we have an injury to say a KB he can cover.
So IMO he’s best 22
Gresham
We have a lot of mids (especially with DH fit) will he play fwd or mid?
My role for Gresham would be HHF pushing into midfield (much in the same way Kane Lambert does for Richmond! I would rotate that position (Gresham, Hill, Billings, Higgins, Sinclair) but rotate through the centre square because he’s so good at stoppage
Clark as the 7th defender, but with the ability to play in the midfield if a change is needed
So my team
Wilkie - Howard - Paton
Coffield - Carlisle - Long
Hill - Crouch - Billings
Gresham - Membrey - Higgins
Marshall - King - Butler
Ryder - Steele - Z.Jones
Ross - Clark - Hannebery - Battle
E: Geary - Sinclair - Lonie - Dunstan - Webster
Team looks good, interesting you have Geary out of the best 22 (which I agree with), it won’t be popular with a few on here!B.M wrote: ↑Sun 03 Jan 2021 5:57pm You are never at full strength, so picking a best 22 is moot

At a guess Allison appeared best upside talent available but Highmore targeted as a ready made Wilkie style player.
That's f****** hilarious....the thread is supposed to be about Seb........Hahahaha!
I have Bytel still in the developing category, I'll welcome him becoming the instant superstar that is predicted in small internet enclaves but history says that's highly unlikely.B.M wrote: ↑Sun 03 Jan 2021 7:16pm I think we can cover some injuries
Key back: Frawley
3rd Back: Roberton Highmore
Small Back: Geary Webster McKenzie
Ruck: McKernan
Mids: Dunstan, Bytel, Sinclair
Key Forward: Concern? Probably Battle or McKernan
3rd Forward: Battle Allison
Small Forward: Lonie Sinclair
Most bases covered for Depth
Still developing
Alabakis Connelly Byrnes Allison
I know this a cliche, B.M but my track watching insider at Moorabbin says he is flying on the track. Much stronger, running well and those "Diesel" like hands. For once, it looks like an injury or two have actually helped us. We wouldn't have got Winx, nor Jack without them. Is it an omen?!B.M wrote: ↑Mon 04 Jan 2021 12:35pm Just judging Bytel from his 3 games
I think he is almost ready to go, and if he played a year in the VFLBlast season he would be.
He is physically ready - clearly
He has the skill
Just lacks the experience
He will be knocking down the door this season and innthe side next season
In the context of our side expected to become a top 4 side in 2021 it is now a team that can't have passengers in any position let alone in the midfield so it may be his lack of experience that keeps him out of the side.B.M wrote: ↑Mon 04 Jan 2021 12:35pm Just judging Bytel from his 3 games

From what I have read in this encyclopaedia about everything I am now satisfied. Sebby has got them all covered!B.M wrote: ↑Mon 04 Jan 2021 5:14pm To compete against the big bulls in the centre square, if you ain’t got the strength and power... forget it
We are talking players the ilk of Danger, Dusty, Cripps, Bont, Cunnington, Kennedy, Lyons, Adams, Fyfe, Mundy, Parker, Wines, Mundy etc
Some big boys there!!!
They would just brush you aside if you weren’t strong enough!
You’d be very surprised how big Steele and Ross are in person
Both stand around 6’2” and are over 85kgs
Yep but I think you'd agree Bytel hasn't put himself in that company yet just becuase he has a certain physique, in fact in a few season Bytel might be our next Armo meaning he can't crack into a side that is in the premiership window.
