There's no way after his grand final effort that Tom Sparrow plays at Casey.

Some big calls in there Werridee, but I find it hard to argue with your best 22 on paper.  A few things jump out to me:

* Who would have put T Mac and Nibbler as best 22 ahead of season 2021;

* Premerships player and hulking young gun Tommy Sparrow stiff to miss out, but such is the fierce competition for spots.  Will he have a breakout 2022 and stamp his place in the best 22, along with JJ?

*  Baker starts on the wing IMHO.  SOW might be a gun in the making, but I think sauce Baker is better than a two's bench player (Not that it's really a bench per-say anymore);

*  Our 2nd 22 would push some of the 1st 22s going around I feel.

Would love to see Daw get a senior game at some point in 2022, although I think that would take either a huge show of form from him or conversely injuries or drop of form from others, so preferably the former.
