Opening Round Selection Smokey

[lionshine]

Which of the younger, fringe players in the poll has the best shot of impressing throughout intra club and pre season matches and potentially forcing their way into Round 0? I have excluded the premiership players, the players returning from injury(O, Kiddy, Doedee, Linc & Dizz), and Levi who I expect to be in strong consideration.

Henry Smith probably the likely candidate with Joe’s spot up for grabs but wouldn’t be surprised if Day gets first dibs. Will be difficult for the mids/flankers to get a look in but if a spot does open up I’d say McLachlan and Marshall are both immensely talented and from all reports impressing thus far at training. Reville & Dev the most experienced/ready to go.

Beecken won't get a look in early but he could improve quickly with a pre season in the system.

 

[McLuggages]

I've been thinking McLachlan will get a crack at it from sub this year, like Kai did last year

 

[Perrip]

Ty Gallop or Luke Lloyd is most likely I reckon.

 

[Section 5]

Going purely on the thread title being Round 0.
I think it would only be who takes Joe's position

So, Day, Smith, Gallop, Ryan maybe Lloyd

If Day is fit and playing okay, he would be my choice.
I think he fits into the fringe category with having played only 18 AFL games in 5 years

No Ty Gallop so went with Sam Marshall ...
