Based on the team selection for today’s Match Sim vs North Melbourne, it would appear that only two MFC listed players - Oscar Berry and Riley Onley - were available and not selected. The rest are mostly injured or managed as follows:

Jake Bowey (foot)

Tom Campbell (neck)

Jai Culley (arm)

Max Gawn (managed)

Jack Henderson (back/sacrum)

Aidan Johnson (hamstring)

Shane McAdam (Achilles)

Tom Matthews (knee)

Steven May (personal leave)

Jake Melksham (managed)

Andy Moniz-Wakefield (knee)

Harry Petty (concussion protocol)

Jack Viney (Achilles)

Kalani White (glandular fever)

Of that list who’s a chance to get back for round 1?

Gawn, Melksham, Petty, Culley maybe? AMW maybe?

Get Gawn, Culley and Melksham in and I’m not sure Petty is ahead of TMac right now and that’s a pretty good team. Bowey’s absence hurts the most, Viney a close second. I don’t think TC, Hendo, McAdam, Johnston, Matthews, White are in our best so they’re hurting our depth, development and Casey more than best 22 and we looked better with McDonald ahead of May last year so maybe that’s not so bad.

All in all if we get those 4 players back for round one I reckon we’re looking pretty good. Saints will be tough but they are also great chokers and were young and an unknown quantity with King at this stage.
