I think this is pretty close to the round 1 team ..
Draper might not be ready for round 1. And we need a 7th def. So I'd swap Draper for Laverde.
I also like Hind training as a FWD. I'd swap Menzie and Hind.
Early crack at how the trades affect our best 22 ... I'm liking the depth we will have ...
Firsts :
B: McGrath McKay Laverde
HB: Ridley Reid Redman
C: Duursma Parish Martin
HF: Gresham Jones Hobbs
F: Stringer 2MP...
From the sound of it Zerk-Thatcher will be fine to play.
I really hope they have the balls to drop Heppell.
Hobbs unlucky.
In : Stringer, Weideman, Guelfi, Hind (Sub)
Out: Phillips, D'Ambrosio, Heppell
FB:
[27] Mason Redman,[14] Jordan Ridley,[30] Brandon Zerk-Thatcher
HB:
[29] Jake...
Lots to like about where our list is at ...
Team + Age
Round 1 :
(Tippa to build some fitness)
B: Ridley 24 Zerk 24 McGrath 24
HB: Redman 25 Laverde 26 Cox 21
Foll: Draper 24 Parish 25 Shiel 29
C: Martin 21...
I'll go with ....
Seniors Round 1:
FB: Andrew McGrath - Jayden Laverde - Nick Hind
HB: Jordan Ridley - Zach Reid - Mason Redman
MF: Kyle Langford - Dylan Shiel - Nic Martin
HF: Archie Perkins - James Stewart - Jake Stringer
FF: Sam Weideman (2nd ruck) - Peter Wright - Matthew Guelfi
OB: Sam...
The list is in good shape IMO.
Player brackets (age not the only factor in where they land).
Best 22 relevant players only.
1. Veteran [ Will play but on the way out ] :
- Heppell
2. Senior players [ Maybe no more up side / but still plenty to offer ]
Stringer
Shiel
Tippa
Stewart
Hind
3...
My 22 with a look to the future ...
So not including Heppell, Stewart, Hind + Z Thatch (I think Cox + Reid will pass Z Thatch long term) who i'd have in the mix for round 1.
With ages in ( )
B: McGrath (24) Laverde (26) Redman (25)
HB: Cox (20) Reid (20)...
(Age)
1sts
B: Jake Kelly (26.9) Jayden Laverde (25.7) Nick Hind (27.2)
HB: Dyson Heppell (29.6) James Stewart (27.8) Jordan Ridley (23.0)
C: Andrew McGrath (23.5) Zach Merrett (26.1) Nik Cox (19.9)
Foll: Sam Draper (23.1)...
So IF Redman out with calf (not sure how bad it is) and Stringer makes round 1 (touch and go).
Team :
B: Hind Hooker Francis
HB: Heppell Stewart Ridley
C: Langford Parish Merrett
Foll: Draper Shiel McGrath
HF: Smith Jones...
PLEASE Hooker forward !!
We look so much more dangerous with Hooker FWD and Francis can play back.
B: Saad Hurley McKenna
HB: Ridley Francis Gleeson
C: Merrett McGrath Cutler
Foll: Phillips Parish Langford
HF: Fanta Hooker Zaha...
