Opposition Report | Round 2

Take a closer look at this week's opposition, brought to you by VRGF.

While, it’s usually up to the coaches to make the final call, Blues supporters were given the opportunity to make their own selections as part of the ‘Best 22’ competition last week.

After crunching the numbers, we’re happy to present to you the most selected Blues’ team – as chosen by you.

Docherty: It's felt like an eternity

Some interesting stats: 

  • We'd like to ask a question to the 0.5 per cent of all entrants who DID NOT choose Patrick Cripps in their team.
  • The people want Eddie Betts. Eddie (97.8 per cent) was the most popular forward choice for the Blues, with new Blue Jack Martin not far behind him (96 per cent).
  • Levi Casboult was available for selection in the back, forward, ruck and on the bench: he was selected in 87.9 per cent of sides. The versatile Sam Petrevski-Seton (defence/midfield) featured in 91.9 per cent of teams.
  • Despite not being eligible for selection, Matthew Kreuzer and Charlie Curnow were among the top selected Blues overall.
