I have Binga in my 22, but there were recent reports of Jones firming for a start in round 1 as well as Bedford. Realistically, that can only be at Binga's expense if true. Hence the wording I used in my post. We shall see soon enough!
For pure versatility it has to be Hamtilon or Peatling if they're not in the best 22 for meYour club’s best tactical substitute options for the 2023 AFL season
Who can have an impact for all 18 clubs off the bench in 2023?www.sen.com.au
There is no standout candidate for the Giants.
Having lost a pair of guns in Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper, their midfield stocks aren’t quite as deep as they have been previously so a fringe or younger on-baller might not be the obvious option as it was in 2022. The Giants also recruited small forward Toby Bedford in the off-season and he could potentially push ahead of a player like Brent Daniels.
Daniels missed all of last season due to persistent hamstring injuries, so naturally the club would want to ease him back into the fray of senior footy. That scenario makes him suited perfectly to the sub role. The 23-year-old could come on and make an impact late in games with his dynamism up forward and his strength around the ball.
Similarly, experienced forward Daniel Lloyd is one who might not get a start in GWS’ forward line so could be used tactically off the bench.
Callum Brown’s versatility is appealing as a tactical sub, emerging talent Conor Stone, who like Daniels had hamstring issues last year, is also an option, as is 19-year-old Cooper Hamilton.

What are the thoughts of GWS posters?
If Bedford and Darcy Jones both push ahead of Brent Daniels, then Binga could fit as a tactical subsitute. He's experienced, would bring zip and energy when he came on, and could slot into forward or midfield roles.
Not sure Dan Lloyd holds a similar value as tactical sub, except for his general AFL knowledge and experience.
Callum Brown I could agree with having some flexibility to cover positions - although when the VFL team is playing he probably needs to be playing to build his own experience. I'd similarly say that Stone & Hamilton would be not well served being the sub for too many weeks - they need game time to demonstrate they're ready to break into the best 22. However, as two of a longer list of players who roll through the sub position, they'd be OK.
What about Cal Ward? If he starts finding in harder to run out a full game, could we use him in the sub role? The issue would be he's primarily a mid ... and can he cover enough positions off the sub's bench? But he did play half back last year, and we're apparently trialling him forward this year, so could that point to possible use in this role.
The other suggestion I would have is James Peatling. Can reliably play both forward and half back roles, and therefore also plug a midfield loss with some judicious rearrangement of team positions/roles. You'd never want to tag the one player in this role too many times in a row, but Peatling strikes me as a decent option if he doesn't make the team.

Yeah I thought Jones' frame would limit his playing time his first year and especially early in the season but he must be really impressing to be in the frame for an early debut

I might take that. They always forget second year players.

Finn Callaghan is easily our best chance for rising starYour club’s best 2023 Brownlow, Coleman and Rising Star hope
Who are the players at your club most likely to win the individual awards?
Brownlow: Josh Kelly
Coleman: Toby Greene
Rising Star: Aaron Cadman
GWS doesn’t boast any favourites in the markets, however Josh Kelly has proven to be a consistent vote-getter throughout his career and could make an appearance in the Brownlow picture with a strong season. Kelly’s highest-place finish was 5th in 2017, and it would take a stellar year to top that mark.
Toby Greene is a star with an excellent ability to hit the scoreboard, however is yet to put together a complete season that sees him in Coleman contention, often missing too many games to tally enough.
Taken first overall in the 2022 National Draft, a Rising Star win would be a dream start to Aaron Cadman’s career, cementing himself as key forward of the Giants’ future.

I think our losses over the off-season are probably a bit overrated in the general mainstream landscape. I'm sure most of the those guys will go on to have much more successful seasons this year then last year with us but pretty much all of them outside of Taranto were quite limited in what they were able to contribute last year, Hopper was injured most of the year and we only got a couple of good games from him, Bruhn was played as a forward most of the year or was out of the side so wasn't able to contribute much there, Hill wasn't particually effective and then missed a good chunk of the season with his cancer battle (seems to be doing well now which is great to see) and then Taranto was legitimately great and that'll take some covering for but think we can. If Kingsley is a good coach, I think the benefits he brings will outweigh the losses of last year.According to the Phthagorean analysis, we are predicted to improve from last year. However, once the losses of Hopper, Taranto and Bruhn are factored in, they predict even a 7 win season for us in 2023 would be a “reasonable surprise”!

I've got the lions at 100-1 (maximum was $10)on an introductory offer, so I m on them hard as well!But I've already got my Lions premiership tattoo.
You've probably got a buttload of them?But I've already got my Lions premiership tattoo.
I think he wins provided he is not injured. It is possible Dunkley coming in sees him playing more on half forward flank, reducing his possession tally.
Considering Hogan's injury history and Riccardi not showing consistent AFL level play, if Cadman is playing well in the 2s then there's probably going to be a chance for him
