So I was having a bit of a think about what our best 22 would look like come end of year and below is the following.
Please note this is what I would expect by end of season/finals NOT right now. As some are green(rioli) and still injured (yarran)
Also understand that Rioli is prob 12-24 months off it but we are pretty dry in all areas of our list after the 25-28 player mark so It cant hurt to include in this list.

I Like Menadue too and want to fit him in there too.
And yes Short is in there cos he does not suffer from Tigeritis yet...

Interested to know thoughts

Our Best 22
B     Grimes   Astbury     C Ellis
Hb   Yarran   Rance        McIntosh
C   Vlastuin     Miles         Houli
Hf     Edwards    Riewoldt    Lennon
F       Delidio      Vickery      Short
Ob     Maric        Martin       Cotchin
Inter: Lambert, Rioli, B Ellis, Townsend/ Lloyd, Menadue (cut 2)

Pickup up an O Meara/Prestia/Tyson type and the midfield starts to look good.
The anywhere, anytime Tigers.

I'd be keeping Menadue in. Maybe instead of Short or Lambert

Grimes Astbury McIntosh

Yarran  Rance Lennon

Vlastuin  Miles Menadue

Deledio  McBean Edwards

Rioli Riewoldt Butler

Cotchin  Maric Martin

C.Ellis Lambert Vickery Castagna

...and yes I'd rather see Lennon forward.....but this is probably how he'll get into the side now....and it'll probably be the closest we'll ever get to that magical dream of having a Deledio at each end....

Lennon can't play back. He's a half forward through and through.

there is an in position between position from half back to half forward
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yes he can - have seen him do it with ease in the VFL. Looked a class above.
