My Prelim Final  team similar to one I posted early in 2021 contains many possible changes to our( First might I remember thst a team is 23 not 22 for all contributors. The Sub especially with the weird use of Goody is vital. 

Snd what I wish to emphasise is that I this is a new era team and that some players because they have IMO plateaued are going to miss out. 

The following are in that category  Sparrow Chandler and Salo and Tmac are very lucky to be in interchange or emergency due to injury fallibility and team balance in making improvement to the team as a whole.

Naturally in a projected team of about 10 months some are not going to embrace all

the INS although they may upon reflection look and agree with the OUTS. 

Prelim Final Team 

Lever May McVee 

Howes Petty Bowey

Langdon Windsor Sharp

Petracca JVR Pickett 

Fritsch Jefferson Turner 

Gawn Oliver Rivers 

IC Viney Langford AMW Tholstrup Sub K.Brown 

IC McDonald Sparrow Salem Chandler. 

Final Comment 

Every line has both youth and experience the backline might be a fraction slow and conservative however there us much to like about the five interchange most are fast and fearless and JV could easily start instead of Riv and in no way do I see JV being just as making numbers up. 

 

Now that day 1 of the draft is done I'll do my best 23 and Casey's best 23 for round 1.

F: McAdam, Jefferson, Kentfield

FOLL: Campbell, Woewodin, Baldi

IC: Mentha, pick 79, Rookie a, Verrall, Casey youngster

SUS: Pickett

 

I went for the 3 key backman\forwards 3 small backman\forwards which is why McDonald and Jefferson aren't in the team. 4 talls would be too tall.

With the interchange I've used Lindsay as our 7 defender, Sparrow and Langford as the 2 extra mids and Tholstrup as the 7th forward.

What would the difference be for your best 23? Pickett for Lindsay?

Personally I think Sharp will be slotted in to ANBs flank.
