I like this team, lots of potential for improvement on the bench and the emergencies. Unless Karnezis has a hell of a preseason I can't see him getting a game ahead of Bewick though.

Went over it a few times to make sure I didnt forget anyone, but I still forgot Bewick ARGH. Bewick would get a game before Karnezis IMO

After analyis of our list, where our players are at, and probables to delistings, I've made up my mind about the perfect team for Round 1 which will see us win the game.

FB: Joel Patfull - Daniel Merrett - Jed Adcock
HB: Josh Drummond - Matt Maguire - Mitch Golby
C: Pearce Hanley - Daniel Rich - Simon Black
HF: Tom Rockliff - Jordan Lisle - Dayne Zorko
FF: Josh Green - Jonathan Brown - Rohan Bewick
Foll: Matthew Leuenberger - Jack Redden - Andrew Raines
Inter: Jared Polec - Sam Docherty - Ashley McGrath - Claye Beams
Emerg: R.Lester, P.Karnezis, T.Banfield

For 5 players listed above, these are the replacements that could be made in place of them.

Sam Docherty <-> Elliot Yeo
Mitch Golby <-> Ryan Harwood
Jordan Lisle <-> Brent Staker
Jared Polec <-> Callum Bartlett
Claye Beams <-> James Polkinghorne

These 5 players were not listed as emergencies purely because of the roles they have that are so similar to the ones they might replace. Also might include a possible debutant that comes out of our pick 8 in the national draft.

So a lot can happen between now and then, but this is my prediction.
Mods: We should have a competition to see who can correctly name the correct side to feature in Round 1 and have a cut off date of Christmas or something so we know who the full list of players are. :D
 
It will be interesting to see how much of an impact Longer has. He was pushing for selection in round 1 this year, so he would have to be a consideration next year.
 
Our first two draft picks from the last two drafts (Polec, Karnezis, Longer, Docherty) are not currently in our best 22. So for round 1 next year we'll have some highly rated players from three drafts (including the 2012 draft) trying to break into the side.
 
For ressie watchers, any chance of Clarke getting a game next year? I know he's been developing very well but how far away is he from commanding a starting spot?

I'd be surprised if he didn't get a few senior games next year, but it'll probably depend on how Goose goes injury-wise.

No Golby or Bewick?

Should probably take Tippett out, as we may not get him......

If Leuenberger, Drummond and Brown were to stay injury free, this side would finish top 8.
 
I'd be very surprised if Michael doesn't figure in senior proceedings next year.

Tremendously impressive in the last game I saw him in 2 weeks ago. Looks to have carried this form forward.

KPP's of his size and ability are pretty rare. I would say also that he could play forward or back. Very good hands.

It's ridiculous to think that a second year player could win our b&f, but it really is a possibility if he misses no more than one or two games and plays like h did this season.

If Lisle is our most improved, that will solve a great deal of headaches. Assuming we haven't already tried to solve one by recruiting Tippett, that is.

Solve a great deal of headaches by recruiting Tippett huh?

This has TOP 8 written all over it!! I would slot Stakes in somewhere. but apart from that. :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu: Great job.
 
I think a lot of people are going to realise quite quickly next season how much better a team we are with Leuy playing. I also think we'll have a fair idea of whether or not finals are a chance by the end of round 3. Here's to an injury free pre-season :thumbsu:
