I really don't think we'll make many additions between now and Round 1. It really depends how fit Wilson & Crowden are, and where Cerra is at, who I would rather us take our time with in his OOC season. 

Stings to take Chapman out, who I would rather just make play, but I have no doubt he'll make his way into the side and keep his spot for good well before mid-season anyways. Hughes & Watson shouldn't be dropped for him, they should have a chance to keep their spot through regular season performance. Same goes for the likes of Acres, Conca, Colyer & Schultz.

As formulaic as it has been the last few years, I would rather us keep going in with the most experienced and disciplined players Round 1. Compared to previous years, we now at least have a enough depth (of somewhat quality too) and upcoming competition for those players' spots, so let them battle it out and keep the standards high.
