2005 Raiders Line-up

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Someone tell me a better option

 

[dubby]

what about Adamson??

 

[greeneyed]

This has to qualify as the worst thread of the year. It is just full of meaningless lists. Who knows who is fit for the start of the season right now? Or in form?

Is there a worst thread category in the awards thing?

Obviously it is all specualtion. But it's kind of like playing fantasy NRL. Who will you pick in our strongest squad kind of thing.

 

[Greenblooded]

I've actually enjoyed reading different peoples opinions on who should play in each position next year.

 

[Kris_man]

i love this thread, and threads like it. it's actually about football, unlike some of those other ones, eg, social threads or threads about off-field drama. they've got their place, but these ones are what i come here for.

 

[Kris_man]

also, Tidus - i notice you left Mogg out (btw, i did too). what were your reasons for this? do you think, like me, that he's a hog? and inconsistent?

 

[thickos]

I'm not going to bother with people out of the 17... so here is my Round 1 team (Smith, Croker suspended).

1 - Schifcofske
2 - Graham
3 - Mogg
4 - Frawley
5 - Chalk
6 - McLinden
7 - J. Smith
8 - O'Hara
9 - Woolford (c)
10 - Weyman
11 - Hodgson
12 - Adamson
13 - Nathan Smith (Croker when eligible)

14 - Miller
15 - Thompson
16 - Kahler or Ben Cross
17 - Carney

Geez considering how gutted I was with the player movements this season, that team scrubs up OK.... Carney on the bench is a must for me and good, big, agile forwards.

I see Nathan Smith as a tall rangy lock in the future.

 

[hrundi99]

He's not that tall though.

He has class. Passing me a Crownie from the player's esky is something I'll always have a lot of respect for him for. ;-)

He's gone up plenty of notches in my rankings now too 8) :lol:

 

[Kris_man]

i don't wanna be a nazi thickos, but this thread is for the ideal team not the round one team.

 

[thickos]

Well put Toots in for N. Smith and thats the best I've got at the moment on current form.

 

[Kris_man]

we're all picking extremely similar teams - there's about 13 guys who are in everyone's team, its only really the positions for which there are slight deviations. knowing elliott though, there's likely to be a surprise come 2005, and we're not likely to like it...

 

[greeneyed]

OMG.. more lists........ :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[I Bleed Green]

You heathen! How could you forget Hindy?!

Actually with the average season he had for the most part, I guess you could forget him pretty well. :|

 

[Kris_man]

i like hindy's size. unfortunately, that's about all i like about him at this point.

 

[thickos]

#-o I knew I forgot someone....

Hindy in for one of the benchies then.

I think he went OK in patches in 2004 but was ultimately disappointing for a forward who can wreak havoc like he can.

 

[reptar]

Here's my 2005 team for the Raiders:

1. Choc
2. Graham
3. Mogg
4. Frawley
5. Chalk
6. Locky
7. Head
13. Croker
12. Hindmarsh
11. Hindmarsh
10. O'Hara
9. Buderus
8. Weyman

14. Smith (Nathan)
15. Hodgson
16. Cross
17. McLinden

All in the peak of their form....

(and then I woke up!)

 

[thickos]

Have we signed Nathan Hindmarsh, reptar? :mrgreen: :shock:

 

[jed]

I think reptar's competing with greeneyed for the most insane poster award :lol:
