Except Allir who has already won an AA guernsey in 2021.

Oh and how many times was Luko dropped again last year? will be up to 5 or 6 soon.

Rankine was dropped to the Sun's reserves too before he went to the Crows, so that is not a reliable indicator of a players true talent. Lukosius will thrive at Port.
 
Only if Whitlock can develop to play 2nd ruck.

They say he can but I don't see it yet. Doesn't seem to like the bash and crash enough.

I don't like forwards turned into ruck options personally. Completely different skill set. Chop out now and then against other part timers maybe but it’s tough enough being a decent forward just do that.

Yeah that's all I meant.

I just want a better chop out than Finlayson.

Absolutely no reason Whitlock can’t play next season and early on. Calsher Dear managed 17 games and 25 goals this year as a first yet key forward.

Only thing that will limit him is if we can’t improve our forward line and efficiency. He won’t last well if we bomb it to him in a pack. However open up space for him to move as the Hawks did, no reason he can’t play and be effective early.

It's one of those good problems to have. Still think given Ken's history we won't debut him early. But he could get a call up depending on form/injury.

I'd say George and Luko are locks for starting 18. Marshall probably not far behind. Club will be keen to get games into Lord, but form/injury history say that's no guarantee. Hard to see where Finlayson squeezes in too, he's too good for SANFL if he's fit.

SPP - Georgiades - Marshall/Whitlock/Lord
DBJ - Luko - Rioli

One spot for a forward on the Int: Richards > Berry > McEntee, or maaaaybe another spot for a Finlayson/Whitlock who could pinch hit in ruck as well
 
The position clearly open in the forwardline is 3rd tall/2nd ruck.

Seems a bit of an ask of Whitlock in this first year, but I'd love to see him get a go at some point if he's up to it.

There's not a clear standout. Marshall's medical cloud aside, all of Lord, Finlayson, Visentini, Soldo, maybe Whitlock at some point should be eyeing it off as a way into the team. Without a few contenders standing up, I worry we'll default to Esava in a quasi-Dixon bring it to ground role.

Interesting comment by Burgoyne that Jack Watkins is another Butters type player. No idea what that means specifically in terms of traits but at least for the SANFL side thats a good sign.

Without Hugh Jackson, we literally had no mid depth in the Maggie's. McEntee not worth a burnt crumpet.
Don’t think that’ll be an issue this year, Hugh injury free, Watkins, McIntee, Mead, Atkins, Charleson and Moreas on the wings (assuming Lorenz in the Ones)
 
And now Cochrane as well
He won’t be an AFL midfielder, not big enough, not quick enough, skills aren’t up to scratch. Better off playing him High Half Forward or Back Pocket. Could be a Michael Wilson, won’t be an AFL mid though, ever!

You listed a group of players that included McEntee for SANFL midfield depth.
Thats why I mentioned Cochrane as such for SANFL not AFL.
