Each team's starting lineups

[Tippaz]

This how i think each team will lineup in 2007.

[Brades]

Maric is out for 2 months after having Hip surgery.

[Tippaz]

Whaaaaaaaaa????? I thought that was Meesen????????

Okay, not a problem - i guess that leaves either Meesen or Griffin vying for that 2nd ruck spot. Both players ought to be min. wage!!

[peterfitz]

I heard both Maric and Meeson were out

[Brades]

Ok this shall help - Meesen and Maric are both out for 2 months after having Knee and Hip surgery respectively

[Brades]

Also, Griffen is not a certainty, Adelaide have like 10 ruckman (Which annoys me! cause Freo ave 3) so they are testing more guys this week in Mount Gambier. Sellar is going to get a game as well as some other tall players - Now I know Sellar is only 195cm, but he has a good leap on him (Not as good as Jeff White) and he can also play very well down forward and has the maturity of senior football after playing in the seniors for Glenelg alot last year.

[Tippaz]

I have added the next 4 teams FRE, HAW, PTA, WBD

Also, i made some minor alterations to ADE, MEL, WCE

Brades, i should've let you know beforehand that i never found a place for Scott Stevens. Well, i've thought it over, and it finally occured to me that McGregor could quite possibly be the backup ruckman. That means Stevens goes to CHB (where he played last year).

And Maric is no longer in my 'hot prospects'. Griffin can go on the list of 'maybes'.

[Tippaz]

Dale Morris and Ryan Hargrave appear to have swapped positions this year.

This could have a significant impact on Hargrave's stats. Therefore, he is a 'hot prospect'.

[Brades]

Tippaz, Stevens will play, thats a Guarentee. McGregor and Bock will be around the CHF area, and won't play second ruckmen. With Stevens, he proved himself last year and there is no reason to drop him yet, you might find McGregor playing out of the goal square or even playing somewhere in the backline to cover the absence of Johncock who is being pushed to midfield.

Ricciuto is a good tip for anyone, since he will be a forward, he can play and probably will play in the midfield this year. Last year he was shoved down their due to a string of injuries and never regained 100% fitness. Apparently he has this year and will spend time in there, but he also gathers enough up forward to warrant an 80pt average (not bad, considering he will be a lower priced forward)

As for Morris and Hargrave, both never got over 60pt average and are not worth the price, it'd be better getting someone else down back who is cheap but you know will do well.

Also, don't forget that McPharlin plays FB, Parker plays Back Pocket and Johnson plays CHB with Mundy a floater inside, but with Johnson out for 4 games, I wouldn't be surprised if Drum will get a game as the CHB now, he has put on some weight and still has a bit ot go, but he'll surely start now. Also with Farmer gone for 6, Andrew Browne or Ryley Dunn might get some games now after impressive performances in the purple. Schammer is also out for around half the season after he had appendicitis and then got an infection from the surgery which required more surgery and a severe layoff which gave him almost no preseason, meaning he is not conditioned for play yet and it will take him some time (thats what i heard anyway), The rest is ok, but I am unsure of Walker, since Cook is missing in the lineup. Also, Crowley is a hot prospect for me in terms of a centre player. He gets good stats and has looked impressive since stepping up in 2005.

[Tippaz]

ALL teams are now complete.

i have also put my 'hot prospects' in bold.

and went through the average age of each starting 22 (not the entire list).
it looks like our NAB Cup Finalists, Brisbane & Carlton, will be fielding the youngest teams this year. hmm... interesting!!
