In round 1 next year what will be our starting line-up, taking into account we dont have any injuries during the pre-season? This is mine.

FB: Raines Thursfield J.Bowden
HB: Johnson P.Bowden Newman
C: Hyde Coughlan Deledio
HF: Pettifer Richardson Krakouer
FF: Brown Schulz Hughes
R: Simmonds Tuck Foley
INT: Polo Pattison Limbach White

Howat, Meyer,McGuane would be close.
 
Funny that, I completed the same exercise tonight. I had:

FB: Newman, Gaspar, Thursfield
HB: Raines, J. Bowden, Johnson
C: P.Bowden, Deledio, Polo
HF: Pettifer, Richardson, Brown
FF: Meyer, Schulz, Tambling
R: Simmonds, Tuck, Coughlan
INT: Pattison, Oakley-Nicholls, Hyde, Foley
EM: Howat, Krakouer, White

Tough, although we came up with pretty similar teams. Depends a bit on retirements/trades obviously.

Yeah i could go with that.
Dont think *smile* will be there in 2007, So maybe Ray Hall (if his still there in 07) in for *smile*
And maybe One of the emergencys in for Oakley-Nicholls.

Will newman be ready for Round 1, i saw on a show tonight saying he will be around rounds 5-6.
 
Impossible to do until list is finalised.

Thursfield will be lucky to play senior footy until round 8 or so for mine unless he has a remarkable recovery, same for Cogs who may take another month after that to be fully fit and firing,whilst Newman will be of similar timing in return, maybe round 4 ish as his break was a little more friendlier than Brownies. ;)

If you go through this exercise assuming we have a full list to choose from, there's no doubt there's more depth at Tigerland than for many years.

However the dearth of DKPP's stands out like Dog's :-X

We are also going to have to find some way of getting more steel into the midfield.

Newman won't be ready. We have to learn from Brown's experience, and not put his recovery back or in danger at all.
 
2007 Line-up
BP: Andrew Raines Andrew Kellaway Chris Newman
HB: Joel Bowden Will Thursfield Patrick Bowden
C: Greg Tivendale Shane Tuck Richard Tambling
HF: Kayne Pettifer Matthew Richardson Chris Hyde
F: Nathan Brown Jay Schulz Andrew Krakouer
Fol: Troy Simmonds Mark Coughlan Brett Deledio
Int: Kane Johnson Dean Polo
Nathan Foley Trent Knobel
Emerg: Brent Hartigan Danny Meyer Adam Pattison

I think this is our best team when everyone is fully fit, and you may notice some absentees from this team ;D

Of course trades and draft picks may come into the equation.
