A few thoughts:

• It's really not a bad side, but misses the obvious star power of (prime) Trac and Clarry

• If picks 7 & 8 hit the ground running we'll have some impressive young talent running around

• Can't see why we'd play May in R1 unless injuries strike

• Really need another high quality small forward

who is your 23rd man

Pick 7

I actually reckon our depth now is better than last year.

Defenders (7) - Adams, May, Lever, Turner, Jiath, Salem, Bowey

Wings (3) - Langdon, Lindsay, Culley (also fwd)

Mids (6) - Pickett (also fwd), Rivers, Steele, Viney, Langford (also fwd), Windsor

Rucks (2) - Gawn, Petty (also fwd)

Forwards (5) - Mihocek, JVR, Chandler, Sparrow, Fritsch

Emerg: Tholstrop, Melksham, Heath

Fringe: T.Mac, Sharp, Laurie, Moniz-Wakefield

FB: Howes*** Adams Petty/Lever

HB: CJ Turner Bowey

C: Lindsay Rivers Windsor

HF: Langdon Mihocek Chandler

FF: Fritsch JVR Henderson***

Foll: Gawn Langford Pickett

Int: Salem, Viney, Steele, Kolt, Jeffo/Kentfield

It’s time to move past Melk, T Mc and May unless we have injuries.

Start Adams as a lock down key back and support him.

Every mid has to have 2 roles. Riv and Lindsay back. Pickett and Viney forward. Steele wing. Windsor on ball. Langford wing and forward.

***Howes is a placeholder until we get someone better but 5 backs who can all contribute overhead is vital to the zone.

***Henderson another placeholder but we need to have those waves of half forwards.

This would be a dream forward line for Steven May the defender, even he could keep up with them.

I think Jvr, Mihochek and Melksham all together are way too slow if we want forwards to lead at the ball carrier. Id love to see Kentfield play Round 1, we need athleticism ahead of the ball.

Summer is long.. lets see who emerges…

I think Petty is a forward and is too slow in defence. The game has changed since 2021 and he will get found out for pace in defence.

isnt that the same lack of space that has generated no seperation from defenders coupled with a lack of leap that has hindered him as a forward

You don't have to be quick you just have to be smart. The people writing off Melksham is amazing. Our best forward this year. Mihocek hasn't even played a game for us. I agree Roo has been disappointing but getting the second best defender now should help him out.

I think he will start down back. He's not one of the smartest of footballers that's what's hindered him as a forward.

Kentfield is breathing down Roo's neck, he's already surpassed Jefferson. Roo won't want to have another year like this year or Kentfield will surpass him.
