No to Weid.   I have Joel Smith in the team taking over the 'Frost' role.  Petty is a forward.  Bennell is a pipe dream at this point.

Good to see something speculative with some emerging talent.

So you clearly don't rate Weid, Smith, OMac, ANB, the Wagners or Hore. 

Or the chances of Baker, Chandler, Lockhart and Dunkley?

I guess KK and Bennell stay njured?

The best thing is I do rate them. Chandler and O Mac the next most likely.

Any of them could play.

For the first time since we have had an affiliation with a VFL team every single player on the list is a chance except for Bradtke who is a category B rookie anyway.

Due to injuries I have Oscar in the team not a fan but not convinced with Smith's and Petty's pre season's.

Brown gets a go due to Petty's pre season.

Pickett comes in as the small forward.

Jackson comes in as the second ruck. Most teams are using second rucks so I think we should too.

Vandenberg and Hannan need time in the VFL to show that they can cope with the rigors of the AFL.

I fear Kolodjashnij won't play a game again, Bennell will always be a question mark and Preuss will miss the start of the season.

I find myself in the difficult position of being in agreement with Wdee. The exposed form as the season progresses will be fascinating.

I could see Jones replaced by Hannan, Brown by Petty or LJ and Hibberd by Lockhart. If the incumbents keep contributing to wins then they will be hard to remove.

Now to go touch a piece of wood.

Not even sure you can play 2 of Weed, LJ or Brown.

I think LJ will miss out develop him in the seconds.

Yeah I’d have to agree, LJ looks the goods but we are not in a position of needing to blood him so I reckon Casey will be where he finds himself early days. Interesting to think about Casey if him, Bradtke and Preuss are fit, that’s quite a bit of tall timbre. Throw in one of Weids or Brown as well as I can’t see a combo of Weids/Brown/TMac being used too often. 

This is mine totally on form.

Good team but we need either Bedford or Pickett or both

The second poster in the off season to suggest Melksham isn't good enough to make the best 22.

Unless you guys are predicting a sudden downturn in form next year, Melksham would be one of the first picked. Infact, I'd go as far to say Melksham is the best kick at the club. Seen those inside 50 bullets he's capable of and the classy goals he kicks.

We sorely missed him last year as we slumped to a 2-8 record without him.

 

 

However he’s one of our worst set shots.

See his first miss on the weekend.

How good is the centre line of Langdon - Petracca/Oliver - Tomlinson?  This could be the fulcrum of the rise up the ladder.  Certainly as good as any centreline in the league.

Add Clarry or Angus or Harmesy even Jack or Jonesy I'm lieu of Trac and still a huge upside.
