Time for a footy debate - Round 1 line up

[WhyPhilWhy?]

To stimulate discussion:

B: Lockyer Presti Wakelin
HB: Lonie Richo Clement
C: Didak Bucks Betheras
HF: N Davis Rocca Licuria
F: Tarrant Cummings L Davis

Ruck: Fraser (please!) Burns
Rover: Holland

IC: Adkins, Cloke, Molloy, O'Bree

It leaves us a bit thin in the ruck dept, but arent we anyway....

That lineup doesn't look too bad. Is that your line up or an official one? I think Cloke should start on the ground, thats if e can slot him into the back line somewhere.

good lineup, although I would include McKee and Steinfort or Dimmatina.

reason for McKee is that richmond may be playing both ottens and stafford. I reckon we would definitely need a backup ruck. Maybe start Josh at the centre bounces, perhaps rotating with someone like Rocca, and have McKee as the around the ground ruck.

reason for Steinfort or Dimma is that I think we will need to tag some of richmond's midfield.

cloke reminds me a lot of archer in the way he plays. he should definitely start on the ground.

Very optimistic putting Rocca and Fraser in the line-up. I hope they are available, of course, but I'd hate to see them rushed into the side before they were right. That could be a long-term disaster. It's more important that they be fit and firing at the business end of the season.

If Rocca and Fraser are available tha'd be great, with Cloke at HB, And Molloy can't start on the bench, put him on the HFF or something, O'Bree on the ball, Holland on the wing, Didak gets a run from the bench (looked good but isn't ready yet I woudn't say.)
