Not bad, going to be interesting to see the first side chosen 

might see Sparrow Jordan or maybe a speedster in Bower or Laurie

i don't get the love for hore... hopefully i'll be proved wrong but he was dropped multiple times as a senior recruit in his first year, finished the season in the vfl, and then was crocked the entirety of 2020

smith is ahead of him for mine by dint of being regularly IN the side last year

Totally agree about Hore.  A good VFL player but wouldn’t have him in my top 30. 

I would also be asking Melksham to start in VFL and work his way back with a string of good games after is pathetic 2020.

Hunt is no certainty and will need to play well in the preseason to get a spot.

I think Lever will play. My point was that Lever and Hore probably don't play in the same team.

I'd take Lever over Hore any Day. Hore don't make the 22 in my team

Agreed. To me he's a beautiful kick when under no pressure and a classic bomber when there is. Quite a nice intercept mark, but Lever has him covered there.

I like Hore, great kick and plays small or tall but we do have some contenders

Isn't much good on smalls I Reckon Is a Lever clone and best intercepting Isn't quick enough for smalls.

will play 3/4 games only bring depth!!!

I can't take seriously any teams posted that include Baker, Smith, Lockhart, or Hore.

At best they're VFL quality players.

Don't think Locky is young enough given opportunity by Goody he won't improve ?

Rest are more depth But Baker could be ok and Smiths last 3/4 games were an improvement. Time my friend be patient.

I like your youth policy (speed)

Thanks. Most sides have a turnover of 3-5 of their best 22 in a given year. Rather than play it safe I have tried to crystal ball what we might try and address from a game style but also with our influx of improved speed and kicking and a return to longer quarters and season. Historically I feel we have been a side with too many flankers and inside mid and not the right balance of mids, mediums, smalls and talls with balanced games. I feel we are starting to get that right list wise and also maintain some flexibility without having to make weekly changes.

brayshaw said on poddy that he should be good to go for AAMI series/round 1 no issues

also hibbo? surelyyyy gets in ahead of Smith imo

ANB, Hunt, Melksham, Lockhart and Tomlinson all in the team and too many inside mids.  If we win the flag it wont look like that.

As unpopular as this may sound, Harmes doesn't deserve a starting gig based on last season's form. For me, he and Melksham were the biggest disappointments. Rather see Sparrow, Jordon or one of the newbies...

Cant be bothered doing a best 22 again but I would have Joel Smith in the team as the lockdown defender on small forwards, and Spargo will play Round 1.
