Miller, Holman and McPherson probably a better proposition than a couple of the young guys to be honest... I also hope that Corbett comes on, he could be special!

Just replace Crouch with Greenwood. Some good depth players omitted. Personally, I would play only two talls from King, Day, Wright especially when Lukosius is in. With stronger body, better tank I expect Luko spend more time forward and on the wing.

If this team can stay together for next 2 years and healthy - excited.

Yeah it's definitely too tall, ideally Luko breaks out ahead of schedule and Day is replaced for someone like a McPherson with a bit more pace.. this is reliant on 2MP hitting some consistent form and owning that KPF spot too.

Bowes I think will have a break out year next season excited to see him and rankine in the team.
Get a few senior bodies in with good worth ethic and get the young talent to build around them.
Luko and King recommitting would be the most significant thing for the club in its history.
Need senior players that have heart and super professional. Matt deboer has done wonders at GWS.
Good luck guys rooting for you. Screw Brisbane.

Miller finished 6th in our bnf
Macpherson 3rd

They’d be in ahead of Anderson and miles I’d say.

Greenwood also be best 22 if he comes although not sure who he goes in for.

Have taken slight creative license including Ellis and Greenwood since there have been strong links.

Last time I did this Burgoyne was confirmed to be staying in Melbourne haha.

If we were some how picking up Crouch replace Miles on the bench. There are a lot of good players being left out there when everyone is fit.

DMac doesn't make the cut for you?
I think he is a must. Can ply forward as well as mid. More versatile than Miles

It's so comforting as a Suns Original to know that come round 20 that Reserves team will be our AFL team and we'll be getting excited about trade period and 2021 when we'll have you know-no injuries

Just taken a keen interest in how this develops over the next little bit after today's news, excited for your clubs future! This includes anyone currently at the club, and will be interesting to see once Martin and Ah Chee leave and potentially Crouch, Rowell, Anderson, Greenwood and Brandon Ellis come in. This is what I have to start off with, but feel free to let me know where I've likely gone wrong as I dont get round to watching an awful lot of Suns games so may have players who should/shouldn't be in and maybe some out of position etc.

FB: Harbrow, Hombsch, Ballard
HB: Ah Chee, Thompson, Weller
C: Fiorini, Bowes, Powell
HF: Sexton, Lukosious, Martin
FF: King, Day, Rankine
FOL: Witts, Miller, Swallow
INT: Wright, Ainsworth, Brodie, Joyce

I feel as though that's a fair starting point, and something to be optimistic about expecially once more talent is added. First round picks, experienced campaigners, and a couple to fill the gaps.

Hanley, Horlin-Smith, Murdoch, Collins, Ellis, Young, Miles, Wigg, Holman, Corbett, Nicholls, Lemmens, Burgess, Crossley, Schoenfield, McLennan, Graham, Macpherson, Heron, Dawson, Fletcher and Riordan all miss out.
Hanley and Macpherson particularly stiff.

Ah Chee will be at Brisbane and Martin at Carlton probably but not at The Suns unless deals aren't done
Collins likely plays in front of Hombsch based on 2019 form
Holman is best 22 when fit as is Darcy Mac
Joyce sadly is no longer anywhere near our best 22

Our evolving 2020 best 22?

B. Harbrow, Thompson, Ballard
HB. Hanley, Collins, Weller
C. B.Ellis, Swallow, Lukosius
HF. Sexton, Day, Greenwood
F. Ainsworth, King, Rankine

R. Witts, Fiorini, Brodie

Int from: Bowes, Macpherson, Miller, Rowell, Miles, Anderson, Holman, Lemmens, Powell, Hombsch...


Still missing that 1 gun mature midfielder to regularly rack up 30 possessions...

BCrouch fills the role if we can convince him I guess. Rowell will be it in the future - and hopefully with us 🙈

If we can stay healthy not a bad team in my opinion. Add Corbett, Burgess, Wright, Murdoch, Joyce - decent depth too.

My 2020 round 1 side

B. Harbrow Thompson Ballard
HB. B.Ellis Collins Lukosius
C. Weller Swallow Powell
HF. Ainsworth Wright Anderson
F. Rankine King Greenwood
Fol. Witts Brodie Fiorini
Int. Bowes Rowell Miller MacPherson

Backs in youth over experience and puts games into our top draft picks. Hanley, Miles, Day, Young and Hombsch all stiff to miss out. Mclennon Bunderick and Rosas (🤞) to come into the side depending on injuries. B. Crouch coming to the side would see either Miller or Macpherson dropping out, that being said Miller could swap with Harbrow and be a lock down defender.

Miller at halfback would be.....interesting
It's a position in today's game that requires speed and skill
As much as I love Touk, sadly they are not attributes you'd associate with him
