Our Best 23 2026 Cannot change once selected

[sante]

I'd be very surprised if we see Trainor on a wing this season.

Same but I didn’t want 3 defenders on the bench

 

[sante]

B: Vlastuin - Miller - Broad
HB: Banks - Balta - Brown
C: Trainor - Taranto - Hugo
HF: Campbell - Faull - Rioli Jnr
F: Mansell - Lynch - Hotton
1R: Nankervis - Lalor - Hopper

Int: Short - Gibcus -


Highlights please lizard man

What I believe will be Yzes best 23 to start the season:

B: Broad Miller Balta
HB: Banks Vlastuin Short
C: Ralphsmith Prestia Trainor
HF: Campbell Mansell Rioli
F: Lynch Lalor Faull
R: Nankervis Taranto Hopper
INT: Armstrong Brown Hotton McAuliffe Ryan

You really think Ross doesnt play round 1

Pick 2 of him McAuliffe or Ryan

 

[THE_GUN]

Pick 2 of him McAuliffe or Ryan

I cannot see a world where Ross misses round 1 if he is not injured

Round 12: Hopper hops past for fun and bags one on the run

Reckon _RT_ has you on ignore

I reckon a few will have him on ignore when they see that team. Bad enough Ralphsmith and Ryan are playing but a starting midfield of Hopper, Taranto and Prestia has me hoping we're playing an opposition with a slower midfield than us.

I'm not sure there is one.

Yze basically said thats our main midfield. Think we are tanking one more season

That's because he won't.

Did he say that they'll all be in there at the same time? Play all three if you must, but spread them out with at least one younger/faster on-baller with them. Anyone. Ross is faster. MacAuliffe is faster. Lalor, Sonsie, Hotton, Campbell, Rioli...they're all faster.

Just one of them in there with 2 of Taranto, Prestia and Hopper would make a difference. I think anyway.

It's not the team that I'd pick, but the team I believe that Yze will start the season with. If the year goes as expected, then I can see some major changes happening and the team looking a lot different come the end of the year.

[Tackle Bag]

We know that midfield mix is junk. We saw that we played better football with one of the main three out of the side (Prestia). Absolutely no reason to run that set up again. Rotate the kids through more, and use the extra bench spot for another kid to share the load. Keep Prestia as back up in the ressies in case one of Hopper or Taranto go down.

 

[Hoos]

Keep Prestia as back up in the ressies in case one of Hopper or Taranto go down.

That's what should happen but we all know won't happen.

 

[THE_GUN]

Prestia is not playing reserves

I think alot of people are bored

If he is fit he plays and might get rested 3-4 games this year but thats about it.
Kids will need to dominate in the 2's to take his spot
