IN: Jones, Mitchell, Heeney
OUT: Bird, Shaw, Malceski

Interestingly I made this team on the swans board and our 22 looks similar. Shaw will find it hard to get a spot (Zak Jones is an ideal replacement), but I believe Jetta is in our best 22 but needs to play deeper as he has a good eye for goal (2012 seems a distant memory...). Looks like we agree Sam Reid should be trialled at CHB. Unfortunately Bird loses his place due to lack of pace, he's replaced by Mitchell. If Heeney is all he's cracked up to be, he gets in as sub.

schulzenfest... nice work mate. On the Lions and few key things I see happening
1) Rich will be HB. Leppa had him at HB before he was injured, and now we have Beams and Bundy added to the middle we wont have to be forced to play him there. He will be given a Sam Mitchell type role down back
2) Id think Gardiner will play most games, meaning merrett and goose will split time
3) Beams & Rockliff on ball is just delicious!!!!
 
^
Grundy to ruck on his own?? Witts is a better option anyway.
And you picked Fasolo twice.

Second one was meant to be White, which answers both your questions. Prefer Grundy to Witts, if two rucks are fairly evenly matched I'm generally a fan of the athletes over the big dinosaurs. Although I suppose Witts could take White's spot.
 
Schulzenfest fair job on Essendon, but both Zach Merrett and Travis Colyer would be in our best 21 (at the expense of Howlett and I dunno who the other would be ) and Cooney/Winderlich will probably be sub or subbed out more often than not so using one of them as sub would probably make the most sense

Decent attempt. I think Frost may well start as emergency, just depends on preseason form and whether we play a team with 2 genuine key forwards. Rest of the backline looks right.

Despite being yet to debut Hogan will be best 22 if fit. He's just too good to leave out and will be entering his third year on a list. Have to pick who to leave out Pedersen or Gawn.

Dean Kent should be best 22. He makes some errors but has too much talent to leave out. No need for Trengove as until he can even resume his career he can't be near a best 22. And if he has a good preseason I expect Salem to be in as well. At a minimum he's a much better sub than Matt Jones.
