Best 22 Again - different structure

[CoolCat75]

Been done before, but let's think about the team in a different structure. List the players in their roles, rather than specific postion ie back pocket, as this is more relevant for the modern game. It also gives you an idea as to our depth. For mine, the best 22 is (left our Egan due to injury):

Best 22

Backs : Milburn, Scarlett, Hunt, Mackie, Harley

Backs/Midfielders: Rooke, Enright, Wodjinksi

Midfielders: Bartel, Corey, Ling, Ottens, Blake, Prismal

Forward/Midfielders: Chapman, Ablett, Kelly, Selwood

Forwards: Hawkins, Mooney, S. Johnson, Stokes

Reserves

Backs : Lonegan, Taylor, D.Johnson
Midfielders: Tennace, Byrnes, West
Forwards: Gamble, Varcoe, Djuereka, Davenport

The ability to rotate 13 quality players through the midfield makes us such a strong team, as well as the ability for so many players to play midfield/HF/HB. Barring injuries to key position players, we will be tought to beat this year.

What is your best 22 structure?

I agree with ost of your players listed, however I think stokes will spend time in the midfield rotation this year. I would call it 12 midfielders and 2 ruckman. West would also be a quality reserve.
