Likely Gawn unless he really gets some consistency next year. Pederson is just a more influential player at this stage.

I'd actually have it the other way, Gawn takes more contested marks and is (obviously) a better ruck.

Would like to point out that Casey's new coach in named Plapp.

Michie
+ Brayshaw and Petracca/McCartin, presumably

Not a bad side, but obviously not great. Needs Toumpas and Salem to have good preseason. Seriously hope Roos can get even a fringe big-bodied mid, or Michie/Brayshaw/Petracca can turn into a gun from R1 (tbh if we do draft Brayshaw or Petracca they'll probably play ASAP like Scully/Trengove/Dunstan/Wines/Viney/Crouch/JOM).

Still a bottom two side. Hogan helps, Garlett will probably be useful for forward pressure, Lumumba will make little difference, Frost will be raw. Will still be us and St Kilda fighting it out at the bottom with Carlton in the near vicinity.

Toump and Salem won't play ahead of *Brayshaw*, Riley and Michie IMO. We need to develop our clearance/ball-winning abilities for those two to have any effect on the game.

 

[Topkent]

Ideally one or both will have developed enough of a defensive edge to play on the HBF round 1 but it's more likely they start in the 2's

Watts would probably find a place in there somewhere.

I dunno. If everything we hear about him is true (and we actually ****ing draft him) he may pull a Wines.

IIRC the knock on Brayshaw is his tank. Might not blow the world away in year one.

Pretty easily rectified if you put him on the right training plan over summer. Wines came to Port with substandard pace and aerobic fitness as well.

I'm not saying it's a serious issue, didn't know that about Wines though.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

If Brayshaw doesn't have a year as good as Wines does it won't only be because he's not as good; he also won't be playing a side that's anywhere near as good.
