Sando said he'll tweak game plan so my thoughts are:
Tippett must play CHF/ruck he can't kick straight for goal so why have him directly in front. But Walker can when his confidence is up N.craig took alot of this away from Walker. Tex barely missed goals in SANFL before he debut and kicked fairly straight when he did debut. Add porps in pocket next to Tex to add more options.
Johncock is great at rebounding but at times his defensive side has flaws eg. when gets dragged back 1 on 1. So I think he should become HF or outside mid as he likes to run. He can do 100% attack from there and is the best kick we have or at least top 3. So why not have him kicking for goal or putting it into 50.
My idea for our tagger is Otten good defence abit slow but C.Ling manages to stop the best. Otten also has good height so being able to spoil or out mark opponent will be a feature too. Otten as a tagger would allow Johnston to slide in Ottens current role as 3rd tall down back.
Dangerfield from a few magic moments this year running from half back with blistering speed should be where he spends half his time with midfield being other half. Danger can be a butcher of the footy at times from set shots but on the run he barely misses a beat. He can still kick goals from backline as we've seen.
Players such as Vince, Douglas, Tambling, Knights and Smith will improve alot on last year if they have solid injury free pre-seasons. Other midfielders such as S.Thompson, Sloane, McKay and VB will shine providing others around them improve and take the pressure of them to be only mids that had good years. McKay had injury but when he played he did well.
Another Idea is instead of using McKernan as I think his not yet at AFL level but will be a gun once he is. I would maybe use L.Thompson as 3rd tall forward as he is quick and can play tall or small he could be a defensive forward to lock down on play making defenders but can also attack too.
So My team would look like this:
B: Jaensch Rutten Johnston
HB: Danger Talia Van Berlo
C: McKay Sloane Vince
HF: Johncock Tippett Knights
F: Porps Walker L.Thompson
Foll: Jacobs S.Thompson Douglas
Inter: Petrenko Otten Wright
Sub: Smith
Emer: Tambling Doughty McKernan
Could break into team with good form : Martin Henderson Riley Tambling Lynch Brown Reilly Callinan
Need more development: Jenkins Lyons Shaw Craig + new draft picks
Going going or gone already by Rd.1: Symes Sellar Young Cook
