Are we certain to get Hickey.Surprised the Allir,Hickey deal was not done at the same time.Naismith when will he be available 2021,would be nearly 12 months since the op.at the start of next season.

Aliir and Hickey deals went through yesterday....

Naismith did his knee in June so doubt he is ready for round 1 which should start before then.

Might as well try making a firsts and reserves team. Odds of further list changes are likely, so take with a massive grain of salt. Have assumed that Campbell and Gulden are coming in. Managed to fit in the whole playing list I think though, which is good!

FB: Cunningham Brand Gould
HB: Mills Rampe Lloyd
C: Blakey Parker Dawson
HF: Heeney Buddy McInerney
FF: Papley Sinclair Hayward
Foll: Hickey Rowbottom Kennedy

Int: Florent, McCartin, Campbell, Fox



2nd XI

FB: Ling, Melican, Thurlow
HB: O'Riordan, Reid, Clarke
C: Stephens, Bell, L Taylor
HF: Foot, McLean, E Taylor (assuming still on list)
FF: Gray, Amartey, Wicks
Foll: Naismith, Hewett, Warner

Int: Gulden, Ronke, O'Connor, ?

As to who I hope those ?s are, well there's our pick three who could be anyone, then I'd hope we get Paddy McCartin, and Sammy Thorne in the rookie draft. Of course, we usually have some other Academy underagers who slot in too.

Does he have a contract for next year? Assume he will but at this stage keep spots for draft picks and points at the moment.

I hope so. Would be a bit stiff to play most of the season then get delisted.

Nah Blakey is a wing.

Moving him back and having centres of:

Blakey Parker Dawson
Hickey Rowbottom Stephens

bodes really well for 2021. If Blakey can stop taking his spot for granted. Could get Sydney into finals with that midfield

Good way too look at it.
Don't agree with it all but it helps lining players up in their best positions.
If I was the coach I would line Paddy McCartin up as CHF in the reserves so he gets to work on his tank. Certainly good enough.
I would leave Naismith out altogether as he may well not play at all in 2021.
If we draft DGB he would play HB in the ressies for sure, maybe CHB.
Pretty sure this is the sort of thinking the coaches will be doing before Xmas.
 
Is it realistic to expect Naismith will ever play again?

Probably not as a first pick ruck unless Hickey is surprisingly bad

Agree with McCartin Snr starting in reserves. If he played a tiny handful of senior games, or even one, that would be a success for him. Has to be handled very gently to get him to his high ceiling.

I've only got Naismith there because of lack of other options really. Amartey hasn't really had much of a go with the main ruck role as far as I'm aware.

DGB has a great brain in reading the play, but he's still a bit light in weight. The more time he has in the gym before his senior debut, the better. If we draft him at all :p
 
No point doing the 22 without knowing who we take in the draft or who will be on the list next year.

The only locks (if fit) are - Rampe, Buddy, Heeney, Lloyd, Papley, Mills, Parker, Kennedy, Rowbottom, Blakey, Dawson, McCartin, Hewett and Cunningham.

Plenty of spots up for grabs.
