the problem is we have to leave someone out... like Freeborn and McGough etc.. in your case Bucks!

But i guess its beter than having NO good players to choose from!

I'd probably swap Freeborn and Williams over... but i dont really know much about Williams as yet.

What do you think Shaw's future is? I mean he did a few good things against carlton but would struggle to find a spot with Woewodin and Tarkyn etc..

I think you are pretty right with the 22 players but to me some of the positions need to be looked at. eg imo Josh F is not strong enough to play no1 ruck ahead of Mckee. The game against Carlton proved this for me. To see him repeatedly beaten and out jostled by a dud like French was disappointing. He needs to play at CHF (imo).

1948, If Fraser is not strong enough to hold down the ruck, he definately is not strong enough to hold down CHF. His assett is his mobility and he should be a flanker as he is hard to match up on in that position. He is young and hopefully will build up and improve, but he better do it quickly as he is falling out of favour with me being in the senior squad.

Culprit you can't be serious can you? Being the #1 draft pick you do expect him to be a very very good performer, but at what just turned 21, I think we can be a litle more patient. His physical strength will continue to gain as he gets older. We haven't seen his best by a long way yet.

Go Pies!

You gotta luv our list.

If we remain injury free, it is going to be a hard job for the match committee to pick the side week in, week out.

We certainly have a strong rotation in the midfield with the like of Buckley, Licuria, O'Bree, Woewodin, Lockyer, Scotland, Lonie and Freeborn. And you can throw in Betheras, McGough, Williams.

Rule 1. Barrack for Collingwood
Rule 2. See rule 1.
Rule 3. There is no rule 3.

May the Magpies Prosper!

I can't beleive you'd want fraser out of the seniors. He can play anywhere - ANYWHERE - over the ground - FP, FF, HFF, CHF, Wing, On the Ball, Rucking, CHB - you get the picture.

He is so versatile he adds numerous options to MM and to our gameplan. He may not be number one ruck, but he deserves a spot on the ground somewhere, becaues he's good.

Just cause he isn't the worlds best ruckman at 21 years old doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to be in the seniors. Also, his round the ghround rucking is good, it's just his centre bounces that are a bit shaky atm.

Culprit what i should have said was develop Fraser as CHF. I really cant see him at this stage as our long term ruck (i hope i'm wrong). If rucks dont develop until 27/28 as Bartros points out then he is a long way off. But he is a valuable assett to our side and unless his form drops right off he should remain in the side

I can see someone like Ben Johnson missing out for Freeborn, or one of Williams, Betheras or Scotland
