Tried to put together a best 22 and it was far too difficult.
Various iterations had a combination of players like Pedlar, McHenry, Worrell, Lynch, Walker, Fogarty, Keays, Jones, Thilthorpe missing.
We'll have to choose a group of younger players to back in for the first 5-7 weeks of the season, then reassess based on form. The worst thing would be chopping and changing between (for example) Jones, McHenry, Pedlar and Schoenberg in a single spot. Some players will just have to accept being out of the team for a couple of months as we rotate through younger players in blocks.
These are the ONLY locks I'd have in the side:
Doedee (if fit), McPherson, Smith
Laird, Milera, Sholl, Crouch, O'Brien
McAdam
Likely locks due to political reasons, not form: Lynch, Sloane
---
Young players I'd back in for the first 5-7 weeks of the season: Hately, Jones, McHenry, Rowe, McAsey, Schoenberg
Players I'd back in for the second block, dependent on form and available spots: Pedlar, Worrell, Butts, Hamill, Berry
Thilthorpe to play as soon as ready.
Players that I would not consider for any matches: Strachan, Davis, Mackay, Kelly, Seedsman, Frampton
