Assume Parish and Curnow selected in draft and assume they are what pundits forecast.

Assume all players fit and in form and reflect potential.

What is everyone's optimum centre square lineup? It's Qualifying final 2016 opening bounce.

Why would you even name those two kids, no way they are starting a final in the cenrte square in their first season

Gawn

Viney

Jones

Brayshaw

Vince and Tyson in off the wing

Gawn

Viney

Jones

Brayshaw

I agree but i put them in there for the sake of discussion. Some posters may disagree with you and I and I'm interested to hear what everyone has to say

Id have Tyson in the middle and Brayshaw on a wing myself but i agree with the personnel

Fitzpatrick

Gysberts

Tapscott

Taggert

Toumpas and Morton on the wings.

I can see it now: Gawn taps it to Viney as Salem sprints in from the back of the centre square, receives the Viney handball and places a perfectly executed left foot stab pass to Petracca 30 meters out and straight in front.

This happens 3 times in a row causing Alistair Clarkson to wreck the Hawthorn coaches box before sending Luke Hodge onto Viney.

So Gawn taps it to Brayshaw instead who, aided by a block from vandenBerg, feeds the ball to Milkshake running off the back of the square. Same result!

I absolutely agree with you, I reckon people are really forgetting Tyson's 2014, he still think he has utter star potential, supposedly played through injury a lot this year

The way Salem and Brayshaw have been managed shows that Parish and Curnow (if we select them) are going nowhere near the rough stuff from minute dot.

Both those two have benefited from a gradual easing into the heavy stuff as opposed to the Jack Watts treatment.

Only bloke we have had starting in a key position from the start of his senior career is Hogan (a physical beast who benefited from a year playing against men in the VFL before he hit the big time).
