Strong team really. A lot of players that could quite easily step into our current AFL team. They will miss McBean though as they seem a little short up forward. Elton will have his work cut out marking or even bringing the ball to ground.
both bathie and barlow can play forward reckon at least one of em if not both will.
structurally should go something like this allowing for rfc listed players to start.
B/ BATCHELOR 188cm - DARROU 190cm - GRIMES 193cm
HB/ MCINTOSH 192cm - BARLOW 195cm - DEA 186cm.
C/ YOUNG - GORDON - WILLIAMS
R/ STEPHENSON 200cm - HELBIG - ARNOT
HF/ O HANLON 189cm - ELTON 197cm - KNIGHTS 184cm
F/ KING 178cm - BATHIE 193cm - A EDWARDS 184cm
INT/ BATSANIS - CONTIN - KEDDELL - GLEESON - SCHIBECI - CONCA
If theres a problem id say its maybe pace. in the main it looks to be a real big bodied side and really experienced .also only one recognised ruckman. i think orren is the one who will have his work cut out. i really wish we had another junior ruckman on our rookie list 20 22 yo. i say another because people will argue mcbean is one. id argue hes going to be more like vickery kpp first.
Missing listed players who should spend plenty of time in the team are miles, mcbean, banfield, lennon, with the last injured .
also davey is not playing and neither is mcqualter.
its a very strong experienced vfl squad and if it doesnt make top 4 it will be a failure imo.
