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.

Hunty will never displace Bowey. Bowey has him covered in all footy skills and smarts.

I like Hunty but he Hibberd and possibly Joel Smith are HB flankers or Back Pocket along with Tommo who is really a key position player a la Petty and Daniel Turner.

But all are in the mix plus our new recruit Judd McVee for HB. 

Some are interchangeable but we really need only 3 talls as we don't get the ball on the ground from some sides.

Bowey, Salo and Rivers are our best 3 HB flankers at the moment. IMO they are the 3 best footballers ie have more ability than the others.

Same as Maysie, Rick ( Lever) are a step ahead of the others like Tommo Petty and Joel Smith as key defenders but gee not by that much on this year. 

Hibbo has the ability but is nearing his career end but his spot in the best 23 is still his to lose IMO.

Gee it's hard to pick our best 23 and as one poster said our Casey team might well beat some AFL teams!!

One small point , reckon Baker should start on wing as he is a winger with Taj on bench as he will rotate with JJ, Laurie and any other midfielders. Realise Taj has played other roles in WA like HB but see him as his best spot to develop is on the ball.

Lets give these new players plenty of time to develop as thats the right they and the Club have early with our best 23 plus our extremely specific targeting of players for all positions.

Can't wait for 2022.
