Thinking about this one, this is what I believe we have from the point of view of players that are fit for purpose for modern football and have the skillset that the industry deems attractive. I have actually selected 2022 as the date I would use and players are only selected if they are Under 26. Based off the below, we are only half way there.
BP1:
FB:
BP2:
HB1: Perez - has good speed, disposal and attributes to be a quality ball user off HB
CHB: Mc Kay - has size, defensive efforts, good mark, slight risk but backing him in @ 22;
HB2:
Wing1: Will Walker - good speed, skills and game sense. Slight projection but have good faith;
C1:
Wing2:
HF1: Thomas - Lacks top end speed, but has the rest of the tools and high end skills, likely swap between HF and mid;
CHF: Larkey - Good size, competitiveness, contested marking, kicking and game sense;
HF2: Taylor - Great game sense, marking ability, decision making and disposal, will be a roaming HF;
FP1: Zurhaar - tough, athletic with smarts and good disposal, goal kicker;
FF:
FP2:
FOLL:
RR: LDU - quality clearances, stoppage burst, quality ball use, contested ability;
Rov: Simpkin - quality clearance, vision and mid distance ball use, contested ability;
Part of 22, not 100% firm on role:
- LMAC - controversial, but I watched his junior games, he should be a 200 game player;
Left Out:
- Scott - good run, ok disposal, hasn't shown consistency or whether he has next level performance, likely spot Wing;
- Bonar - has the right size, meant to have explosiveness, but haven't seen the package. likely spot centre;
- Comben - big, athletic, good hands, just not sure where he best fits plus big guys can be tricky. Optimistic for KP forward;
