I see this is how it will be Rd 1.

B: Ridley Stewart Kelly
HB: Redman Laverde Hind
C: Langford Parish Cox/Durham (Preseason form depending)
HF: Stringer Jones Snelling
F: Walla Francis Wright
R: Draper Merrett Shiel
I: McGrath Heppell Smith Caldwell
Sub: Guelfi/Durham

I know that it will be pointed out that it isn't 22 and I have Perkins probably starting VFL to get his midfield minutes/craft up.

Francis, Cutler, Hurley?, Bryan, Zerk, Ham, Phillips, Guelfi, Clarke?, Waterman… not bad for depth.

Where the heck is Snelling though 🤔🤔🤔
 
I'd add Francis (In) for Durham (out).
I don't mind Snelling not being named by Goddard.
The guy finished third in our best and fairest. Say what you will about the system but that alone says that he plays every week when fit.

Ridiculous that BJ left Snelling out - he's definitely best 22 unless injured...
Speaking of injured - I don't think we can realistically include Hurley in best 22 calculations for round 1 next year - or possibly ever given his major injury issue and (sadly) likelihood of never getting on the park at senior level again
 
A year ago we would've been dropping Parish the not-the-best small forward. But since he's a midfielder now he's not in that conversation anymore...


Could also have been Hill > Jones > Langford > Cox > out
 
I have Snelling in for Smith and you'll drop Perkins over my dead body POTY Ethan.
I agree and he's probably the one out of that forward group that's the next most vulnerable. Although I have Langford on a wing so probably Durham?

You're dropping Cox over my dead body NPOTY Lore

Bloody troll.

Apparently there's a new emoji for trolls;

I don't think it's available outside of emojipedia though 🤔

I feel like we need an extra tall/medium forward, likely Francis, and normally I'd say Smith is the one to make way but he hasn't played reserves at all here.
