Now that the season is about to start and we have watched Wizard Cup matches, praccy games etc..... what will our First 18 be? I'll have a go.

B: Baker, Penny, Hudgton
HB: Voss, Maguire, Jones
C: Fiora, Hayes, Dal Santo
HF: Hamill, Riewoldt, Montagna
F: Milne, Gehrid, Koschitzke
RUCKS: Ackland, Goddard, Ball
INT: Harvey, Thompson, Powell, X. Clarke
EMERG: Blake, Guerra, McGough
 
I think X. Clarke is a bit underdone at the moment, he's had a few injury problems towards the end of the preseason, I'd replace him with Guerra who could be a very good 5-10 minute impact player up forward playing off the bench.

Acland number one ruckman still, but i expect barry brooks to rise to the occasion if he stays injury free for the first half of the season, i'd put him in the team ahead of blake. Blake might be useful for a defender if one of our guys gets injured.

There's a few there which i'd like to see get shuffled around a bit from your list, those being Baker, Dal Santo, Montagna, Goddard, Kosi. Where they can go i don't know. Fiora's usefulness in home and away season games remains to be seen. I think these positions will change depending on who the saints are playing on any given week.

I think Thompson will struggle to play the entire season with all the great new talent, and i think we'll see him wrapping his career up soon.

To add to this, what backline matchups do you think will we see this year?
 
My best team is almost identical to yours snickers, the same ppl in the top 22.


B: Hudghton - Penny - Bakes
HB: Voss - Maguire - Jones
C: Fiora - Hayes - Goddard
HF: Hamill - Riewoldt - Dal Santo
F: Kosi - G - Milne

Fol: Ackland, Ball, Harvey
INT: Powell, Thommo, Blake, Gram/L.Fisher

Emg: X, Monty, Brooks (by round 3)


i may be being a little rough on X but he needs to do something the first 5 weeks
