Couldn’t see your way to squeezing JH29 into the firsts? 😭

It was out of Hunt, Hibberd and Tomlinson for the back pocket spot and I decided on Tomlinson.

I think it is neck and neck between Hunt and Bowey for the HBF. Hunt is more experienced and so exciting when he gets running and breaking the lines, particularly in combination with Langers, but Bowey is so cool and so precise and his delivery. If Hunt works with Choco over the preseason and improves his disposal, he would get the nod from me.

I think there is no doubt that Bowey should get the half back spot. He is cooler under pressure and a better kick.

didn't get past first line as laird is a midfielder for the crows, not a defender anymore

When Crouch gets back into the side. Laird can switch back to the backline where he played his best football.

fixed 😈

can't see laird playing anywhere but midfield - he was their best and fairest winner as a mid in 2021

i think it's more likely they'll re-tool sloane into a different role, a la the peppies sending heppell to the back flank to clear space for zerrett and ellen to do their thing as their 1-2 mids

I think Sparrow is now worthy to be promoted into the firsts. We also need to recruit  another tall and solid forward.

Edited December 24, 20213 yr by leave it to deever

Sparrow is now one of my faves so I would have him in the starting 22, he is only going to get better as is JJ, apparently Oozze is very impressed with both these boys.

LITD my only concern with the List is lack of a young Ruckman 202 - 205cm learning from the best.!!

Not sure that Hannan is best 22 at the Dogs.

He'd be in the 18-30 player cohort...  and they have Ugle Hagen to fit in come 2022

Yes a lack of a developing young ruck could be an issue. However we are so blumin professional these days I’m wondering if we have already targeted a young promising ruck from another side who is out contract at the end of the ‘22.

As you said learning to ruck from Gawn, whilst in a top 4 side with a great culture would be an attractive proposition to many.

I would rather play Weeds at CHB which could provide him with some confidence and Mitch Brown up forward. Maybee not the silliest idea. Love the Senior side and inclusion of Dunstan will pay of in spades.Hunt and Sparrow Extremely unlucky. Cheezus have we now got some envious and serious depth. Our second side would beat any of the bottom 4.

I know where you are comming from, but I think the better statement would be "lack of another young ruckman".  We had Jackson who is both young and learning from the best.  I'm guessing that we are making the assessment that being within the premership window, we are better off having the mature ruck depth of Daw and/Or there wasn't another young ruck still available in the available pool worth us investing in right at the present.

I think hoefully we've still got a few years before ruck depth becomes a burning issue for us.

I think Hannam is best 22 Ugle-Hagan is a tall he will probably have plenty of chances with Bruce out for a while but probably no room for him if Naughton and Bruce are both playing

Next year’s draft is supposed to be a tall draft so hopefully we can find a ruckman then

Reckon your side is pretty spot on, although Tomlinson will play lock down FB and May will take Hibberd's role on the dangerous mid size players.

Sparrow will likely be ahead of Dunstan too. To begin with...

Harrison?

Sparrow is best 22  - easily.

Amazing effort, Werridee. Thanks.

It will be interesting to see who gets the gig Dunstan or Sparrow. You know what you get with Dunstan. Sparrow is still developing.

Well the Saints weren't happy with what they got and you'd have to be a very FICKLE Dees fan to drop Tom Sparrow on his GF form. Everything clean fudnt fumble and his disposals were great plus his kicking to our boys brilliant. Tackled well also.Developing nicely don't harm him mentally after his best game ever.

Not sure Tommo will walk in. Has done very strong competition and we don't want to go too tall. 3 talls are fine for Dogs and it's a good 3or 4 inc. Hibbo Hunty Joel Smith and if Tommo is recovered  he might be a chance but not the fourth tall for is not needed. Let Tommo get used to match play agsin and he will have his time.

Same with Dunstan great pick up but wait for his time also.

Is Jacko too small?  We can always get good rucks from the Trade period .
