Thanks W

Just a few points i would like to add pls...

While he is probably best 22 we don't know how long Melk will be out, nor if he'll decide to continue by the time he does return.  Most likely he will but 11 months is a long time in footy.  Especially at this point in his career.

So i would think McAdam replaces Melk there at least until he returns.  There is no McAdam regardless.  Is that not a done deal?

Deakyn Smith delisted assuming that's the Smith you're referring for Casey in the BP.

Hibberd & Dunstan retired.

Moose has moved on.

Grundy a maybe but highly unilkely i would have thought given the smoke.

Jordon and Harmes need an asterisk also yes?

That's the best 44 for the year the next installment won't have D.Smith, Hibberd, Dunstan and anybody else who leaves during trade week.

Casey side better than many of our senior sides in the dark years.

[drdrake 3,163]

Love to see Bowey move onto a wing, he has a good footy brain and is very good by foot.  No idea on his tank.

[Wrecker46 2,976]

I'd start Billings in the 2's regardless of how well he goes in the preseason. One of the Saints fans youtube things i watched said he got 50 possesions when they dropped him. He has the talent make him earn a spot.

[SthSea22 617]

Surprised to see that Billings isn't rated higher than Chandler on here 

 

My best 23

B - Lever, May, McVee

HB - Rivers, Tomlinson, Salem

C - Brayshaw, Oliver, Langdon

HF - Petracca, van Rooyen, McAdam

F - Fritsch, Petty, Billings

FOLL - Gawn, Viney, Pickett

INT - Hunter, Sparrow, Neal-Bullen, Woewodin

23rd - Chandler/Fullerton 

[old55 23,570]

If we go with Petty and JVR as KPFs for MFC with Fritsch and McAdam in support then we're going to have a massive logjam of tall forwards at Casey assuming early season fitness: TMac, BBB, Smith, Schache, Fullarton, Jefferson, KFW - assuming Verrall leads the Casey ruck.

I'd be playing at least one back.

Put a line through TMac, BBB   

Fullerton will be first in line for a call up if one of Gawn, Petty, van Rooyen go down

Jefferson may play a different role due to the forward depth we have at both levels

Verrall will be 2nd ruck to Fullerton imo
