B: Daniel Nielson, Scott Thompson, Jamie Macmillan
HB: Sam Wright, Robbie Tarrant, Marley Williams
C: Jarrad Waite, Ben Cunnington, Luke McDonald
HF: Taylor Garner, Mason Wood, Trent Dumont
F: Kayne Turner, Ben Brown, Jy Simpkin
R: Todd Goldstein, Shaun Higgins, Jack Ziebell
INT: Shaun Atley, Nathan Hrovat, Ryan Clarke, Declan Mountford

NOTES: Ben Jacobs, like Sam Wright, failed to play a senior match in 2017, because of ongoing foot problems and managed only seven a year earlier, so trails Dumont and Mountford as the resident tagger. The Roos are in a time of transition, and kids such as Simpkin, Clarke, Mountford and Nielson are the priority. Expect Paul Ahern to force his way into contention, too, once he strings together some VFL games, while Ed Vickers-Willis, Sam Durdin, Ben McKay, Josh Williams, Nick Larkey, Cameron Zurhaar and Mitch Hibberd will push hard as well. The ruck looms as a problem area again. Braydon Preuss warrants senior selection, but is stuck behind 2015 All Australian Goldstein, who was a long way off his best this year. Then there's Majak Daw. Is he a ruckman? Is he a key forward?

REMAINING SENIOR LIST: Paul Ahern, Jed Anderson, Majak Daw, Mitch Hibberd, Nick Larkey, Ben McKay, Braydon Preuss, Andrew Swallow, Lindsay Thomas, Ed Vickers-Willis, Declan Watson, Josh Williams

REMAINING ROOKIE LIST: Oscar Junker, Cameron Zurhaar – Marc McGowan

Any team that doesn't have Neilson in it is wrong I'm sorry to say.

Prefer to see more of McKay in the backline.

 

[the big lebowski]

Prefer to see more of McKay in the backline.

Personally I think Neilson is the most advanced out of he, Durdin and McKay

But I think all 3 should be playing every week anyway

 

[ShiNoBi]

Wood
Cunnington
Mountford
Zurhhar

That's enough to motivate me.

Neilson is versatile and very quick, so I'm keen to pump games into him.

And extremely competitive

That’s a tick from me

 

[Egga]

Should be some spirited intraclub games this preseason, with almost half the spots up for grabs.

You are seriously putting Larkey in the starting best 22? Mate, we'd rather not have our license revoked after round 1 for tanking.

Round 1 vs Gold Coast

B: EVW Tazz Neilson

HB: Jmac Durdin Thompson

C: McDonald Cunners Higgins

HF: Wood Brown Ziebell

F: Simpkin Preuss Garner

R: Goldy Dumont Clarke

Int: Mountford Atley Turner Hrovat

* Marley back round 2. No point flying a guy with a bad back to cairns. In for Thompson round 2. Tazz to lynch. Durdin to wright. Neilson and Thompson to play smaller/loose.

* Waite back round 2 as well. Hopefully guys like Wright, Jacobs, Ahern, McKay and pick 4/23 are pushing for their first game of the year on good Friday.

 

[Rad Roo]

Nielson and Durdin have been 2 of the most important find as they fixes up our fb and chb for the next 10 years.

Hi guys
Cant find much info on Ahern's long rehab, hope he's doing well. Is he tracking for an off season in the main group? Get he would probably start next season in VFL and hopefully progress.

Nothing since Feb according to his player thread.

He is currently in Utah atm with the other younger blokes. Hopefully we get some training reports soon

Is in Utah with the rest of the younger players, so it appears he has finished rehab.

He could have possibly played a bit of VFL late in the 2017 season, but we didn't want to risk anything, so he'll be right to go JLT series and a bit of VFL for a solid few weeks before coming for some much needed run and class.
