We need another winger. Will this be someone already on the list? New draftee? Free agent?

Gibson and Harvey are both starting 18 IMO which means Gibson, Bastinac or MacMillan will likely be on the other wing

Surprised at the low key reception for Garner
Looks exactly wot we need someone who can Tackle
and likes doing it
Take note Basti BMac Sirra
I think Wright is looking fringe if this bloke comes good

No doubt he will be in Rnd 1 team
 
FB: Hansen - Thompson - MacMillan

HF: Harvey - Black - Adams
FF: Thomas - Petrie - Tarrant

Things get interesting when Swallow returns and if we pick up some players in the FA period.

Mcmahon Thompson Hansen

Emerg: Garlett Currie Firitto
Daw. MacMillan Wright

Yeah, I've been thinking about it, and it might pay to experiment over the off-season with players that have obvious talents which should be utilized but just haven't found form/their niche:

B: Macmillan Thompson Grima
HB: Macdonald Hansen Harper
C: McKenzie Bastinac Mullet
HF: Ziebell Black Thomas
F: Harvey Petrie Tarrant

R: Goldstein Cunnington Wells

I: Atley Wright Gibson Adams
 
B: Hansen - Thompson - C.Delaney
HB: Mullet - Grima - McDonald
C: Atley - Cunnington - Bastinac
HF: Harvey - Black - Garner
F: Thomas - Petrie - Tarrant
R: Goldstein - Ziebell - Wells

I: Harper - MacMillan - Gibson - Adams
Emg: Jacobs - Wright - McKenzie

Getting harder and harder to pick a best 22, which is a good sign of depth i suppose.

- I'm choosing to believe that Swallow's 25 years of church going will result in special healing powers.​
- Hansen to play loose, hence the tall looking backline. Spare Keys in a battle with Spud for the 3rd tall role.​
- McDonald to play a mixture of defence and wing. A bit like Vlastuin this year and Ellis the year before. But, you know, better.​
- JMac to become a permanent winger.​
 
B: Hansen Thompson Mullett
HB: Atley Grima MacMillan
C: Bastinac Wells Gibson
HF: Harvey Tarrant Adams
F: Thomas Petrie Black
Ruck: Goldstein Cunnington Ziebell
Interchange: McKenzie, McDonald, Firrito
Sub: Harper

Like everyone else, Swallow is out with the Achilles injury
 
B: Jmac Thompson Hansen
HB: McDonald Grima Mullett
C: Dal Santo Cunnington Atley
HF: Harvey Tarrant Adams
FF: Black Petrie Thomas
Ruck: Goldy Wells Ziebell
I:Bastinac McKenzie Gibson Sub: Jacobs

Atley to move to the middle after a big preseason with the midfielders. McDonald then takes Atley spot.
Dal Santo a welcome introduction on the wing.
*Swallow (injured)
 
McDonald best 22 for round 1 already?

I'll get hounded for this but I wouldn't have JMac as best 22. I reckon others will go past him in the pecking order.
I'd probably even have Wright ahead of JMac, Wright offers more when "on"

Totally agree.

Are we Melbourne, looking for the next big thing in the draft?

Nice squad
:thumbsu:
 
no love for Hine? i think we picked up a good player there

Also, i think that Daw will be very close to the mark for best 22 next season. Tarrant might need to get prepared for the back line..... I won't be able to deal with another year of Goldy playing as the lone ruckman. Daw offers more versatility than Currie (but happy for either)
