Bearing in mind improvement etc, whats our best 22 next year? For the purposes of this excercise, dont just name the premiership. Allow for improvement, ageing etc...predict...This is what I reckon...
B: Harley, Scarlett, Djerrkura
HB: Mackie, Egan, Milburn
C: Wojcinsky, Corey, Varcoe
HF: Chapman, N.Ablett, S.Johnson
FF: Hawkins, Mooney, Stokes
R: Ottens, Ablett, Bartel
IB: Blake, Selwood, Ling, Rooke
Notes... I think West will be a lot closer to pushing Blake out of the side than most people realise. Blake still has a long way to go in terms of pace, kicking skills and decision making. Was a line ball decision between Kelly and Rooke...both great players. I think new blood will need to come into the team, thus Djerrkura in the pocket and Varcoe on a wing. That is provided they both have a great preseason. Hawkins will be a gun up forward with a full preaseason under his belt. Another rising star award coming our way... I can feel it...I think unless there are injuries, the natrual improvement we will see in the likes of Varcoe,Djerrkura, Tenace, Davenport etc will make it hard for Byrnes to get a game. Enright and Hunt are both great players, who in all reality will most likely be in the side, but looking at a full list, assuming younger guys are going to come in, its hard to find a spot for them... Anyway... what do you all think?
