Backline: I think Omac has potential, I just don't think he fits in our starting backline right now. IMO we need two defensive smalls in Jetta and Salem, team defence is what won the dogs the premiership this year, so will make us a pressure side. Hunt and Hibberd will surely be the HB flankers for that rebound that Goodwin will be keen on.
Mid: Viney and Oliver first to the ball, with Jones and Tyson 2nd receiver. Also agree with earlier comments around Stretch - the kid is a gun, has speed, skills, and attack and will be critical on the wing in 2017. I also think Brayshaw due to explode next year and suits this position despite his bigger build. Vince obviously rotating through there (I put him on bench because he plays multiple roles) and the half-back, and Lewis rotating through but at half-forward. Surely our midfield will be a force next year.
Forward: I don't think Weideman is fully ready, his manager said he was targeting to play 15 games next season and I think that's about right. Can see him and Pederson fighting over FF. We don't have much decent depth in the tall forwards and although I think cutting Dawes was the right move, we may open up if a couple get injured. I rate Kent but surely he is going to be pushed from half-forward to forward pocket due to development of the midfield and addition of Lewis.
