100% with you on Wicks. Have had him in the other pocket all along. He tackles ferociously but technically very well (like Cunningham) and has good positional sense. Can kick off either foot. Disciplined.
Also agree with you on McInerney. Not sure how long his stress fracture will take to heal. If he can't get in a body of work he won't get picked.
I suspect Gulden is working to get past Ronke and is pretty close. People smarter than me have suggested Gulden's longer-term future is in the midfield. Wicks has also played there effectively in ressies.
Try picking the best 22 for 2022!!!
I certainly don't envy the match selection committee.
Gulden would be a quality mid. He'd also be a quality small forward, and a potentially prolific one. I think where he plays in the future probably depends on how the other young players in each position come on (midfield - Stephens, Blakey, Florent, Campbell, Warner; small forward - Wicks, Ronke) Wherever Gulden's impact will be most needed is where he'll probably play the majority of his time.
