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 84]

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 16,167]

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
