Rivals unite - Ultimate off season thread idea

[RUNVS]

Cogs in there twice.


But a very very good side.

Didn't see that. Will make the change

B: Dane Rampe, Sam Taylor, Connor Idun
HB: Nick Blakey, Tom McCartin, Lachie Whitfield
C: Josh Kelly, Chad Warner, Errol Gulden
HF: Stephen Coniglio, Logan McDonald, Finn Callaghan
F: Tom Papley, Jesse Hogan, Toby Greene
Foll: Brodie Grundy, Tom Green, Isaac Heeney
I/C: Callum Mills, Callan Ward, Justin McInerney, Aaron Cadman

 

[GhostofJimJess]

No he doesnt.

If you'd traded him in rather than Battle you'd be agreeing with me.

Hawthorn/Richmond

B: Blake Hardwick, Tom Barrass, Jack Scrimshaw
HB: Karl Amon, Josh Battle, Nick Vlastuin
C: Massimo D'Ambrosio, Will Day, Josh Weddle
HF: Tim Taranto, James Sicily, Dylan Moore
F: Calsher Dear, Tom Lynch, Nick Watson
Foll: Toby Nankervis, James Worpel, Jai Newcombe
I/C: Jarman Impey, Connor Macdonald, Mabior Chol, Conor Nash

Flip of the coin with Meek/Nank. Not much else from the Tigers to compete for spots.

Mabs was our highest goal kicker in 2024, so deserves to saddle up on the bench.

Incredible the huge transition such a combined Rich/Haw team would look like in just four or five years.

In 2020 there might've only been a handful of Hawks to make that 22. Sicily over McIntosh, Mitchell over Pickett, Breust over Castagna and probably Gunston over Graham.

13 of those Hawks in your above team SYL weren't even on your list in 2020.

Cause for optimism at Tigerland. Gives us hope.

Ok I’ll bite, because I’m bored too. And biased too.
I’ll try to be fair even though the exposed form of the Power squad (top 4 seasons galore lately) compared to the Crows squad (no finals since 2017) suggests a larger Port Adelaide representation


B: Max Michalanney, Nick Murray, Miles Bergman
HB: Mitch Hinge, Aliir Aliir, Isaac Cumming
C: Izak Rankine, Jason Horne-Francis, Kane Farrell
HF: Connor Rozee, Jack Lukosius, Josh Rachele
F: Mitch Georgiades, Riley Thilthorpe, Willie Rioli
Foll: Reilly O'Brien, Jordan Dawson, Zac Butters
I/C: Jake Soligo, Ollie Wines, Jase Burgoyne, Willem Drew

Power 12, Crows 10.

Fringe: Brandon Zerk-Thatcher, Darcy Byrne-Jones, James Peatling, Rory Laird

This is Ben Keays erasure that I wont stand for, the argument could be made between Rioli or Rachele but think especially based on last seasons form Keays is ahead of both.

Rucks could go either way but honestly a lot of crows fans might say sweet is ahead of Obrien but that may be more due to our feelings towards ROB rather than Sweet lol

Lukosius is the other one doesnt feel right to me and think Walker or Fogarty depending on what you value more but I can see how you got there and the coming season could vindicate the choice.

Hawthorn have a very good coach and drafted well the few years after missing finals.

Both areas are question marks for Richmond, until the 2024 draft batch that surely will include a few guns.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Lynch for Lewis, Broad for Frost... but the others? Who comes out?

Prestia or Taranto for CJ ?

Lynch and Lewis is a coin flip because both haven’t gotten on the park.

Broad and Frost probably don’t play and I’d have Taranto but I don’t know how you’d fit him in. CJ is borderline best 22 as is.

Yeah any single position could be seen either way

Amazing to think that Port Adelaide had an attack which averaged 4 scoring shots per game more than Adelaide, and a defence that conceded 4 shots per game less than Adelaide, yet somehow if picking Keays and Fogarty over Rioli and Lukosius, Adelaide would have 9 of the 12 positions across those two areas. Of course Houston would have made the combined team for one.

Balta couldn’t even finish top 10 in your B&F.
He might be one of the most overrated players in the comp.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

CrowPower assuming a 50/50 split

B: Michaelanny, Murray, Worrell
HB: Bergman, Aliir, Hinge
C: Rozee, JHF, Dawson
HF: Lukosius, Fogarty, Keays
F: Rioli, Georgiades, Thilthorpe
R: Sweet, Butters, Rankine
I: Cumming, Soligo, Farrell, SPP

 

[Freomaniac]

Saints-Demons

B- Wilkie May Rivers

HB- Sinclair lever Wanganeen Milera

C- Langdon Steele Hill

HF- Petracca Van Rooyen Pickett

FF- Fritsch King Higgins

R- Gawn Viney Oliver

B- Phillipou Marshall Howard Windsor

What a crap team.

Apologises if I’ve missed anybody

The fact that Ed Langdon and Brad Hill can fit in Both demons and saints best 22 says a lot.

And yes I liked both blokes as they are former dockers players. Both blokes would be in freos best 23

Young guns will go past them soon.

Darcy Wilson is an absolute jet and already the best runner in the league.

Caleb Windsor has huge potential for the Dees.

Toby Travagalia already running at an elite level in his first pre season.
