WERRIDEE

My top 23 are based on training. B: Turner, May, McVee HB: Bowey, Lever, Rivers C: Windsor, Petracca, Langdon HF: Billings, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Spargo, Fritsch, McAdam FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Howes, Sparrow, Laurie, Chandler SUB: Woewodin EMERG: Salem, Tholstrup, Hore

Love your work Picket and a special mention to Brenno great stuff. A lot of talk about locks for the opening round would you be able to do a best 22 based on training? That would be great you know how much I love my best 22's.

With Hunter unlikely to play the opening round this is my new 46. B: Turner, May, McVee HB: Salem, Lever, Rivers C: Howes, Petracca, Langdon HF: Billings, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Schache, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Bowey, Sparrow, Laurie, Chandler SUB: Woewodin Casey B: Hore, Tomlinson, Adams HB: Connelly*, McDonald, Lual* C: Steele*, White*, Windsor HF: Tholstrup, Farris-White, Sestan F: Moniz-Wakefield, Jefferson, McAdam FOLL: Verrall, Szybkowski*, Lewis* IC: K. Brown, Bell*, Freeman*, Baldi*, Shipp*

The Casey team is a better indicator of depth. B: Hore, Tomlinson, Adams HB: Connelly*, McDonald, Turner C: Howes, Oliver, Windsor HF: Sestan, Schache, Tholstrup F: Jefferson, B. Brown, Moniz-Wakefield FOLL: Fullerton, White*, Steele* IC: Verrall, Farris-White, K. Brown, Lual*, Shipp* * = Casey listed I know everyone has Tomlinson in their team but I'm not a believer that using Lever as a loose defender makes us a better team, rather see us play with an extra midfielder. Oliver won't be fit enough to go straight back to the seniors he'll have to play some reserves football.

The Swans possible team. B: Cunningham, McCartin, Lloyd HB; Florent, Rampe, Blakey C: Ch.Warner, Rowbottom, McInerney HF: Adams, McDonald, Heeney F: Hayward, Amartey, Papley FOLL: Grundy, Parker, Gulden IC: McLean, Jordon, Campbell, Fox SUB: Wicks Lever can take McDonald and May can take Amartey we don't need a third tall defender.

Hopefully, he is drafted like Moniz-Wakefield considered not quite right to be drafted but considered too good to not be playing in the VFL.

I picked the team on the games played. The last 2 spots were Spargo and Smith on 14 games. Melksham just missed out on 13 if he didn't do his knee he would have been ahead of Spargo. McAdam only played 7 games fitness is his issue and Billings only played 3 again fitness is an issue.

I'm surprised you have T.Mac in the best 22 Normie what do you think of me dropping Tomlinson? Lever to CHB and Brayshaw to change in between HB and midfield. I'm sure Oliver won't be fit enough for the opening round I think he may play in the 2's. I'm not sure how fit McAdam and Billings are. Billings is getting over a hamstring and has injury problems in the past and McAdam hasn't looked fit since joining the club. The sub role could suit him as he won't play an entire game. Best 44 B: McVee, May, Bowey HB: Salem, Lever, Rivers C: Langdon, Petracca, Hunter HF: Sparrow, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Petty, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Chandler, Laurie, Woewodin, Tholstrup SUB: McAdam Casey B: Hore, Tomlinson, Adams HB: Connelly*, McDonald, Turner C: Windsor, Oliver, Howes HF: Billings, Schache, Sestan F: Jefferson, B. Brown, Moniz-Wakefield FOLL: Fullarton, White*, Steele* IC: Verrall, Farris-White, K. Brown, Lual*, Shipp* I'm tossing between Billings and Tholstrup. If Billings is fully fit then it's Billings but if not it's Tholstrup.

I've decided to make my team quicker. That means leaving out Tomlinson. Brayshaw will be the seventh defender.
