[E]

Ok, my thinking has evolved. Here is now my official best 22 that i would take into the Grand final if we had a full list to chose from.


Maynard, Roughhead, Langdon
Crisp, Moore, Howe
Phillips, Adams, Sidey
Thomas, Mihocek, Stevo
DeGoey, Cox, Elliot

Grundy, Pendles, Treloar

WHE, Beams, Brown, Mayne

******************************
Next in Line: Aish, Greenwood, Varcoe, Reid, Sier, Scharenberg, Appleby.

On the outer: Goldsack, Daicos, Kelly, Murphy, Wills, T. Brown, Quaynor, Crocker, Bos.

Not considered: Dunn, Wells.

Well you won't have to put any more thought into this thread then after today

[Wonka]

Fantastically timed thread. Not.

[What'sinaname]

Percentage is important

[woftam]

Not like pies supporters to get ahead of themselves is it?

This thread could be locked in record time. We were sensational in the premiership qtr today.

Let's be honest, a Collingwood supporter over the age of, say, 30 would never, ever, start a thread like this.

This is a thread of a child.

We're as close to a Grand final as gold coast at the moment... weak, over rated bunch of front running show ponies that you will be hard pressed to find a contender for.

Fallen over the line against some very average opponents lately and shown nothing to suggest a domination that's required to win a flag.

Geelong have come from nowhere and will be the premiers this year, we just ain't got it.

You guys make me sad. You have one of the best teams in the comp and you all lose faith over a simple loss during the regular season (after 7 consecutive victories mind you) against a team that played some really really good footy.

you all live on a roller coaster with the very last thing that happens affecting your thinking far too much.

Just chillax and enjoy the ride. We'll be there when it matters.

As for my age. You know what they say, you're only as old as the woman you feel!!

haha. yes E, my contributions last night were after a big day at the pub, full of freo supporters. Funny how wce nufties hate freo yet were cheering them on yesterday all dressed up in their baby blue and canary yellow.

Getting harder and harder to settle on our best 22. I feel like Sier and Aish are likely in the mix, but honestly, i dont know who would come out. Its unlikely we'll be so lucky as to have our best 22 available anyway so its kind of a pointless exercise. At this stage, there are 28 fully fledged best 22 types, with 5 of the 6 out of the team right now through injury or recovery.

Maynard, Roughhead, Langdon
Crisp, Moore, Howe
Phillips, Adams, Sidey
Thomas, Mihocek, Stevo
DeGoey, Cox, WHE

Grundy, Pendles, Treloar

i/c from: Elliiot, Beams, Brown, Mayne, Sier, Aish

E I think you can nearly put a line through Beams and Langdon this season just can't see either of them getting enough games in before the finals to be ready honestly
Even with best case scenario Beams may get 2-4 weeks and Langdon we don't know they keep saying 4 weeks 4 weeks every week then hit us with he needs more scans and maybe see a surgeon
I've laminated elsewhere about my opinion on our medical treatment of players so won't go over it again but it honestly defies belief
As far as selection goes I think we will go for our biggest strongest bodies in the finals
That would leave Brown and Aish in trouble IMO
Let's hope we have 25+ players all firing when the business end comes around and selection is hard
