Who do you want most to see play in the NAB and why?

For me,

Mullett: Injury has destroyed his last few seasons but now he is finally fit. I hope he gets a good run to show his wares off half back.

Dumont: Is he ready to take the next step? Let's find out.

Wood: Plenty of talent but does he want it enough? And if so where does he fit?

McKenzie: Is he nothing but depth? He needs the opportunity to show his stuff.

Black: Same as Wood. Time to go Aaron.

What say you kangas?

I'd love us to play a game with a KF set up with Daw, Black, McKay & Wood.

Would be great if Neilson was ready. I'd give Hibberd a go at spuds spot, does it well from what I've seen.

Would also like to see Daw & Goldy duel ruck.

Pretty much give as many of the fit guys a crack at it.

For those saying Daw, yep totally. As a ruck. Would love to see him get at least one full game as primary ruck. We are in a position where all blokes are fit so sharing game time across the challenge would be ideal. Can also see Preuss getting a run as back up ruck/FF at some point.

Fishy, Wags, Hibbo, Buckets, Maj, Wood, Froggy, Durdin, BMac, Jedi, Clarke, Darren, and Fordham.

Basically any youngsters or fringe players.

Noticed Pruess was spending a lot of time forward at training.

Dumont and Mullet to make it harder for some 28+ yr olds to hold their spot.

I'd lke Mullet to have a good run and assist Atley with his quick ball movement.

Also hoping one or two of the newer group to show something and surprise us all.

13 players, nice so more than half the team.
Yep. You do realise that the NAB is 3 whole games, right? It's actually possible to play all of these players over the course of the comp without them all playing at the same time.

Thanks for your input though, I was just answering the OP.

All of our fringe players that are ready to play, be given game time. I'm not expecting all our draftees of the last couple of years to get a game though.

Wells, even if it's just for a quarter or two.

And pretty much any young/fringe player. I'd like to see at least a few really push for spots in the best 22.

I wouldn't mind seeing one line up like this:

B: Mullett - Tippett - Wright
HB: McDonald - Tarrant - Hansen
C: Wells - Dumont - Anderson
HF: Wood - Durdin - Garner
F: Turner - Brown - Black
R: Daw - Ziebell - Cunnington
Int: McKenzie - Jacobs - Macmillan - Atley

Go in without Harvey, Higgins, Dal Santo, Petrie, Waite, Firitto, Gibson, Thompson, Thomas, Swallow, Goldstein and none of our new draftees yet still look capable of winning games.
