Given what has been said about where players will play and no Tom Lynch.
FB: Vlastuin 187/87 - Young 196/97 - Grimes 193/92
HB: Broad 192/89 - Gibcus 196/?? - Rioli178 /78.
My preference is to bring in Brown for Rioli who goes to a wing.
C: Pickett 184/84 - Martin 187/90- McIntosh 192/92.
R: Nankervis 199/103 - Taranto 187/87 - Prestia 175/81
Dont like the two on the wings and really think we need to move forward. Still think Dan Rioli should get one wing and give the other to a good ball user like Banks.
Really would prefer Bolton in Prestia,s spot but they have said he will play mainly as a fwd and if honest we need his goal kicking and x factor forward but it does rob the midfield of pace especially.
Have not written Prestia off yet and hope he can avoid injuries and get back close to his best.
They have stated regularly that Dusty will play as a mid so thats where i have put them.
Prefer Naismith against Witts Nanks lack of Height an issue for me here.
HF: Campbell 182/?? - Balta 194/100 - MRJ 179/???????
FF: Bolton 175/?? - Koschitzke 196/96 - Naismith 206/104
I think Kosi, Balta and Bolton are locks and i think the second ruckman likely going by what they have said. The last two spots are maybe a bit of conjecture but i think Campbell looks the most likely of our small fwds atm. there is no way i would pick MRJ but i think the club will.
With a fit Lynch id like the third tall spot to go to Jacob Bauer instead of a ruckman.
Int: Baker - Hopper - Short - Ross - Graham - Dow.
They will not leave any of the named bench players out and i dont have a problem with the first three.
The last three cannot be picked in front of genuine forwards imo. All three atm are behind players picked in front of them in the midfield imo.
Round bloody zero fmd the lunatics have taken over the asylum.
My team
Vlastuin - Young - Grimes
Brown - Gibcus - Broad
Rioli - Martin - Banks
Naismith - Taranto - Prestia.
Sonsie - Balta - Campbell
Bolton - Koschitzke - Nankervis/Bauer if fit.
Baker - Hopper - Short - Dow - Tresize.
