Your club's best 22 for 2017

AFL.com.au
October 24, 2016


WITH trade period finished and lists almost finalised ahead of next month's NAB AFL Draft, we predict your club's best 22 for next year.

These teams don't include players who have suffered long-term injuries and will miss the bulk of the 2017 season.

RICHMOND

B: Dylan Grimes, Alex Rance, Chris Yarran

HB: Bachar Houli, David Astbury, Nick Vlastuin

C: Shaun Grigg, Dustin Martin, Brandon Ellis

HF: Shane Edwards, Jack Riewoldt, Josh Caddy

F: Sam Lloyd, Ben Griffiths, Daniel Rioli

R: Shaun Hampson, Trent Cotchin, Dion Prestia

INT: Oleg Markov, Anthony Miles, Kamdyn McIntosh, Corey Ellis

EMG: Jayden Short, Reece Conca, Connor Menadue


Short played 16 games last season but will be pushed out by the returning Yarran. By bringing in Prestia and Caddy, the Tigers have an abundance of inside midfielders but need their runners such as McIntosh and Menadue pushing through. Nathan Drummond is not far off making the team while Ben Lennon's talent should have him on the brink of the senior side.

##### = dud player who is only vfl level .



Looks like caddy takes one of them.

Claw has special rules we can't include rioli and Markov
not sure what part of the following was  so hard to comprehend. It went

the best 22 are based on mature players WORTH KEEPING imo . It only includes who play consistently to a decent afl level imo.
Obviously it does not include juniors. The blank spots should be filled with juniors or at seasons end with very good mature recruits.

Now how hard was that it seems too hard for some too busy playing the smart arse.

That's actually a good side Oxxford - pity it won't happen because 1 - Yarran will likely never play. 2 - Barlow, Willie Rioli or any of the blokes named at CHB won't be on our list because 3- It's just my internet fantasy side &  4- The coach is an unimaginative fool.

To complete the fantasy - the coach of that side is either Stuart Dew or Nathan Basset.

Grimes  Rance  Short
McIntosh  Litherland  Yarran
Vlastuin  Barlow Markov
Caddy  Dusty  Lloyd
Rioli  Jack  Edwards

Nankervis  Cotch  Prestia

C. Moore  Lambert  George  Conca

If you don't have AFL standard quality KPP, then don't play them. (Astbury, Griff) Play more like the Bullies did this year and move the ball quickly inside 50.
The bench is a little light on but I'd hope CEllis and Menadue can stand up take their game to the next level.
