Spot on with the best 23. And it solidifies my belief that we need 2 midfielders in this draft. Our list is totally imbalanced.

We have an element of key forward depth in Melksham, Fullarton, Jefferson and Kentfield, but where is the midfield depth? Woey and Laurie haven't set the world on fire, whilst Brown is unproven and Billings isn't up to it.

It also shows how poor our list managment has been recently. Aside from Melksham and Campbell who are 33, I have no confidence in any of the depth players to fulfill a role in our starting 23.

Agree with all except I would have Sparrow starting on interchange as first midfield rotation and Melk or Spargs in for Sharp who is an unknown at this stage.  See what he can do with a few games at Casey perhaps.

As good as Tmac was this year, I think he should be depth.  Howes needs to come in as that third tall defender or we back in Jefferson up forward pushing Turner back.

I think they will try Salem as a mid again, I liked AMW when he played another preseason and I reckon he will claim a spot

i still see rivers as a starting centre square, and i'd have bowey over howes, at this stage, in the starting xviii

do we have confirmation that deakyn smith is going back to casey this year?

[Old Time Demon 85]

Good job Werridee. From all of your teams, I see the Kangas and the Suns as improvers.

@picket fence no love for Petty, nor Sparrow, nor Bowey, nor Howes, nor Tholstrup.  Lots of work to do for kbrown and Jefferson in my view.

I see Rivers starting at half back but also in the midfield rotation. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,588]

Ruthless? With Tassie coming in, we have already seen clubs moving on older players and others shown as being not quite up to AFL lists.  Some have been brutal.

Whilst a lot of water to go under the bridge, “on current age and form/performance”, there is potentially a larger turnover ahead.  I do think some guys were lucky to hold onto a list spot.  Maybe it was to keep some stability and also that the Dees were not well placed to attract players.  

Looking ahead … to the end of season 2025…potential changes 

retirement… McDonald, Melksham 

sitting on the edge are …potentially delistings 🔪 would include some of (or all of) … Spargo, Hore, Billings, Laurie, Fullarton, McAdam, Verrall, Sestan, Adams, Kentfield

I know that's my best team not rnd 1 team. Rnd 1 team is Melksham into the 18 and Tholstrup to become sub.

[WERRIDEE 5,503]

With preseason training and Cal's phantom draft coming out I've picked my best 23 and Casey best 23.

B: Lever, May, McDonald

HB: Salem, Petty, McVee

C: Windsor, Rivers, Langdon

HF: Petracca, Turner, Pickett

F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Jefferson

FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney

IC: Bowey, Sparrow, Langford, Chandler

SUB: Sharp

EMERG: Melksham, Allen, Tholstrup

 

Casey

B: Hore, Adams, D.Smith

HB: Howes, Andrew, Moniz-Wakefield

C: Woewodin, Laurie, Brown

HF: Spargo, Fullerton, Sestan

F: McAdam, Kentfield, Melksham

FOLL: Campbell, Tholstrup, Allen

IC: Mentha, Verrall, Henderson, Billings

 

[Simon Port 201]

Best 22:

Mcvee May Lever

Rivers Petty Salem

Langdon Oliver Windsor

Tholstrup Van Rooyen Chandler

Pickett Jefferson Fritsch 

Gawn Viney Petracca

Sparrow Disco Bowey Langford 

 

Next 18:

Hore Adams Andrew 

Howes Tmac Moniz-Wakefield 

Sharp Woewodin Brown 

Sestan Fullarton Billings 

Mcadam Kentfield Melksham

Verrall Allan Laurie 

 

The ones I found very hard to leave out of the 22 were Howes, Moniz-Wakefield, Sharp and Tmac. Could easily see all 3 of those players in our best 22.

The 4 players most at risk to lose their spot would be Jefferson, Tholstrup, Bowey and Langford.

[adonski 12,427]

Looking for to the late mail best 22
