Our Best 23 2026 Cannot change once selected

[Drunken Wookie]

I will submit my best 23 in September. With the benefit of hindsight, I think I'll nail it. No changes will be required.

I tried not to overthink it

B: Vlastuin Miller Gibcus
HB: Banks Balta Brown
C: Ross Hopper Retschko
HF: Campbell Armstrong Rioli Jr
F: Hotton Lynch Faull
R: Nankervis Taranto Lalor
INT: Prestia Broad Alger Trainor McAullife

I see 16 players that are Certainty and the remaining 7 players are the players that could be moved around or left out
Cumming , Grlj , Fawcett , HRS , Lefau would also be in the mix

If our lineup for the first centre bounce of the season is Prestia, Hopper and Taranto I will take a massive shit on my floor and leave it till round 1 2027.

It will be so I hope you have floorboards and not carpet

I wanted to squeeze in Cumming, Grlj and Fawcett, who will all get games in 2026, but on paper when everyone's fit, it's hard to fit them all in.

Of course with injuries we'll never have everyone available.

How secure is Short and Hoppers place in the 23? Beginning of year and end of year?

Both are fairly secure – Hopper far more so.

They'll play every week if fit. No doubt.

 

[tiger_tough]

Gonna change mine and put Lefau in as 2nd ruck and swap Armstrong in for Faull. Probably means Gray out.

I can't see anyone objecting to a change, surely?

No Faull? No Trainor? No Sizzler?

May as well just bin this one and do version 6.

Soon enough.

Faull came out for Armstrong. Lefau is in as he can play 2nd ruck and Faull cant. Reckon Trainor starts in the vfl. Who comes out for the sizzler?

Reckon a small forward comes out and Ross as a mid rotation and not convinced Retschko is walk up start.

Replace Retschko & Green with Sonsie & HRS

Yes. Also needs Cumming in there though, and I'm pretty confident he plays round 1. Not sure who for, but he plays

 

[_DBF_]

And replace Vlastuin with Riley Hardemann
