Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Seriously, in all my 47 years of supporting black n white, can’t recall a stronger, complete list.Based on current list (all fit and firing) with, IMO, players in relatively best position and with apologies to Broomhead, Greenwood, Mayne & Reid; I present to you for your consideration the 2019 AFL Premiership team line-up:

If I may be picky.Seriously, in all my 47 years of supporting black n white, can’t recall a stronger, complete list.
Barring the usual injuries, absolutely no excuses next year.
Hardly a deficiency on any line.
The opening sentence says it all. We added 2 players this year and only 1 made it to the team. Yet last year people were writing us off to 13th spot and the side was picking itself almost. What a difference a good GF campaign makes.Dang, I don’t fully agree with the makeup, but have a good read of the below, taken from the AFL website. We are in bloody good shape indeed.
B: Brayden Maynard, Lynden Dunn, Tom Langdon
HB: Jeremy Howe, Darcy Moore, Jack Crisp
C: Steele Sidebottom, Scott Pendlebury, Taylor Adams
HF: Will Hoskin-Elliott, Brody Mihocek, Josh Thomas
F: Jamie Elliott, Mason Cox, Jordan De Goey
FOLL: Brodie Grundy, Dayne Beams, Adam Treloar
I/C: Daniel Wells, Jaidyn Stephenson, Tom Phillips, Tyson Goldsack
Not surprisingly, this was the toughest Collingwood 22 to pick in six or seven years. The strength of the side is shown not only by the class on the field but by those we couldn't squeeze in. Missing from the team that went down to West Coast in the grand final, it pains us to say, are experienced trio Travis Varcoe, Chris Mayne and Levi Greenwood, along with younger runners Brayden Sier and James Aish, while swingman Ben Reid and Matt Scharenberg were also unlucky. With such hot competition for spots, ex-Bulldog Jordan Roughead was also overlooked. The big inclusions are four matchwinners: Darcy Moore at centre half-back, returning star Dayne Beams and veteran Daniel Wells, who further bolster a star-studded midfield, and Jamie Elliott into attack. We can be accused of erring on the side of attacking flair, but so be it. - Ben Collins
Also prefer Mayne as a pressure applier over Wells, who is pretty much an older version of Aaron Hall tbh.
They're most certainly in the same category.Look I too think that Wells is probably too old to make an impact in 2019, but to put an elite silky gun like Wells was, in the same category as the flawed Hall is just absurd.
I disagree with everything you have said here.I think you need to watch closer - Phillips plays because we have a long injury list
Once these players are fit he gets pushed out
Should’ve been traded whilst he had currency, missed one there.

If Wells plays I just want him to have the ball.They're most certainly in the same category.
Both defensive liabilities, Wells have better skills but Hall hasn't lost his speed and agility like Wells has.
If Wells plays I don't want any more than 60% TOG from him.
Seriously, in all my 47 years of supporting black n white, can’t recall a stronger, complete list.

You don't think Jamie Elliott will make it?You're absolutely kidding yourself if you consider Tom Phillips or Josh Thomas as not best 22, both way ahead of Wells.
Also prefer Mayne as a pressure applier over Wells, who is pretty much an older version of Aaron Hall tbh.
Round 1:
FB: Brayden maynard ~ Jordan Roughhead ~ Tom Langdon
HB: Jack Crisp ~ Darcy Moore ~ Jeremy Howe
C: Tom Phillips ~ Dayne Beams ~ Steele Sidebottom
HF: Will Hoskin-Elliot ~ Brody Mihocek ~ Josh Thomas
FF: Jordan De Goey ~ Mason Cox ~ Jaidyn Stephensen
R: Brodie Grundy ~ Adam Treloar ~ Taylor Adams
I/C: Scott Pendlebury, Chris Mayne, Travis Varcoe, Brayden Sier
What I hope for by finals:
FB: Brayden maynard ~ Lynden Dunn ~ Tom Langdon
HB: Jack Crisp ~ Matthew Scharenberg ~ Jeremy Howe
C: Tom Phillips ~ Dayne Beams ~ Steele Sidebottom
HF: Will Hoskin-Elliot ~ Mason Cox ~ Josh Thomas
FF: Jordan De Goey ~ Darcy Moore ~ Jaidyn Stephensen
R: Brodie Grundy ~ Adam Treloar ~ Taylor Adams
I/C: Scott Pendlebury, Chris Mayne, Travis Varcoe, Brayden Sier
Wells’ running wise wouldn’t be good defensively but he’s pressure around the ball is allot better than Hall’s.They're most certainly in the same category.
Both defensive liabilities, Wells have better skills but Hall hasn't lost his speed and agility like Wells has.
If Wells plays I don't want any more than 60% TOG from him.
I think he certainly has more chances in the AFL, just struggle to see who he replaces?You don't think Jamie Elliott will make it?
It does say dream lineup, otherwise I wouldn’t bother including him.Anyone including Wells is having a lend!
I disagree with everything you have said here.
Wonder what Wells will get out of this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see the game go straight past him.
