 Well we have seen some games and we saw what happened last year so at this point with the season fast approaching who are everyones front runners atm.
For me i lean toward the following taking into account injuries and form based on preseason and last year..

FB: Vlastuin - Young - Grimes.
HB: Broad - Gibcus - Brown

C:  Banks - Taranto - D Rioli.
R:  Naismith - McAuliffe - Bolton

HF: Campbell - Balta - Bauer
FF: Martin - Koschitzke - Cumberland

Int: Baker - Short - Hopper - Clarke - Tresize

B: Dylan Grimes, Josh Gibcus, Nathan Broad

HB: Jayden Short, Nick Vlastuin, Daniel Rioli

C: Kamdyn McIntosh, Dion Prestia, Marlion Pickett

HF: Shai Bolton, Noah Balta, Liam Baker

F: Dustin Martin, Jacob Koschitzke, Seth Campbell

Foll: Toby Nankervis, Tim Taranto, Jacob Hopper

I/C: Thomson Dow, Tylar Young, Jack Ross, Sam Naismith, Steely Green

EMERG: Samson Ryan, Tom Brown, Ben Miller


NEW: Jacob Koschitzke, Sam Naismith, Seth Campbell, Steely Green

UNAVAILABLE: Tom Lynch (foot), Jack Graham (quad), Rhyan Mansell (syndesmosis)

NOTES: A lot hinges on the fitness of Nankervis (foot) – if he's cleared, he'll play, if not, Ryan comes into the 23. Vlastuin sat out the practice match and if still not right, Brown comes into the picture after a strong pre-season. When it comes to cover for Mansell's small forward role, Campbell started in the practice match, while Green came on for the last one-and-a-half quarters, indicating the former is just ahead in the pecking order. Graham's final-minute injury against Collingwood brings Ross back into the mix, after entering that same game late in the piece.

In the Mix: Opening Round

Dustin Martin is touch and go for Opening Round after suffering a corky at training on Tuesday, with the club to monitor the Brownlow medallist closely throughout the week. Toby Nankervis (foot) has been ruled out, and but with the preferred ruck structure of new coach Adem Yze still unknown, Samson Ryan could be joined in the side by Sam Naismith making his long-awaited return to football. Nick Vlastuin missed the practice match through load management but should play, while young midfielder Thomson Dow looks likely to start after Jack Graham's quad injury. Potential debutants Steely Green and Seth Campbell are the favourites for the small pressure forward role, but it would be a surprise if both are selected. Tom Lynch has been ruled out, but Dion Prestia (hamstring) is right to go.
