Round One

Backs

Mckay Mcgrath Reid Redman Johnson Nguyen

Mids

Duursma Blakiston Merrett Parish Caldwell Fiorini

Fowards

Durham Caddy Wright Langford Kako HEA

Bench

Roberts, Sharp, Clarke, Prior, Perkins

ADW, SEH, Unwin and Kondogianis will be pushing for selection with great scope for improvement just need to see more consistency

Robey needs a stint in the VFL to build fitness but would hope to see him in the side second half of the year

Setterfield, Guelfi, Gresham and Jones all known quantities that can come in and play a role if multiple injuries arise

McMahon, May and Edwards all unlucky to be on a team with so many key forwards, all very serviceable, excited for what May could become

Can't see Bourke or Gerreyn playing this year, just don't see Gerreryn as a backman, another one suffering from the excess for tall forwards on our list

Visentini needs another year of development

Maybe very harsh but I've given up on Cox and Tsatas

Injured players - Ridley and Martin would come in for Prior and Perkins, Bryant very close with me after Blakiston's preseason form, would love to see Hayes start to push for Mackay's spot towards the end of the season

Sorry to intrude fellas, I've been keeping an eye on Johnson during preseason as he's one I rate, is he a chance to lose his spot when Ridley comes back?

Look, he'd be a chance of missing. I think he starts but it's no guarantee as there are probably 3 spots between he, Nguyen, Farrow and Kondogiannis (the most likely to miss).

Yes but id say Ridleys round 5 at best

Also a guy like Nyugen could lose it before him, as could even a Sharp/HEA, Prior as much as their different players, just moves magnets

U fortunately with ridleys injury history likely only for a week or two. Id like to think we are priming Johnson or farrow maybe even reid as the key good ball user from hb. Always seem to be waiting for ridley for elite use but we have a few options now so ridley should only be supplementary from here on out.

Still easily best 23 but let's just not pin our hopes on him being the elite user/key part of our game plan.

B Nguyen - McKay - McGrath
HB Redman - Reid - Johnson
C Prior - Caldwell - Fiorini
HF El Achkar - Caddy - Duursma
F Langford - Wright - Kako
R Blakiston - Parish - Merrett
Int. Farrow - Durham* - Roberts - Sharp - Clarke

If no Durham I'd personally go Guelfi but given he didn't get a go Saturday I'd say we'll pick Perkins or something. Likewise my thoughts are the same if Kako can't go.

Scratch Clarke for Perkins then I suppose.
