Completely healthy, what’s our best 22 ?

I can’t decide because of the depth so I’ll let you guys pick yours.

This is one for Werridee.

What's that projected, like a spotlight, up on to the clouds? Is it Werridee's avatar?

I reckon that's pretty good - for mine on team balance I'd have Chin in for Harmes or Sparrow.

I hope they take advantage of this depth this year and rotate our players through

I think we would be looking at our best 22 for 60 years

[rpfc 28,383]

Werridee: 

[DeeSpencer 25,676]

Our added depth this year is McVee and Chandler. McVee is replacing Hibbo and Chandler’s fighting to hold a spot ahead of one of the depth mids as Pickett plays more midfield.

As for the best possible 22 - which is mostly irrelevant as the chances of having all 22 fit and firing is slim - there’s still plenty of questions.

Will our talls hold form and fitness through the year? Will the rucks and big forwards work?

Do we need Brayshaw, Harmes or JJ on the wing for more height (some of Hunter’s aerial efforts were shoddy at best in round 1). Is Gus a reliable defender against good teams? Can we get away with 3 sub 185cm back flankers? Can we get away with 4 smaller forward flankers none of whom are strong aerialists?

A strong first up effort doesn’t go close to answering any of these queries.

Werridee probably did one of these very recently.

The question is too difficult for me - I’m happy to leave it to the selectors and /or Werridee.

Excuse my ignorance…. who is Chin?

The one that Goody picks

[JV7 2,351]

FF: Fritsch Brown Spargo

R: Gawn Petracca Viney

INT: Grundy, Harmes, Rivers, Sparrow 

SUB: Jordon/Chandler 

[DEE fence 5,007]

Fully fit and at the peak of demonstrated ability - Hibbo's best is therefore better than Harmes. On this criteria is Melksham better than Spargo? My other thought was Dunstan, is peak Dunstan greater that Sparrow.
