Oh, blow
That's a very exciting position for us isn't it. Not to mention we will have even more depth if Long and the other new draftees step up quickly. I think depth is the best way to get improvement and must admit I'm bullish about us this year as a result.
Can't wait to see the rd 1 team.
You blew your credibility when you wrote Robertson.

Build his tank and confidence with a few VFL games in the guts rather then play forward pocket. He is in my best 22 but it wouldn't surprise me (especially after MG's comments) if he didn't start round one.
build his confidence? not sure hes lacking in confidence. bad call gary bad call

I dare say I forgot Goddard

Greshams an interesting proposition.
Standout first year. But if we follow recent form. 2nd year blues as the training loads go up.. I think this is how they do it. Sometimes they cope with the increased load. Sometimes not.. Love the Gresh but hes a big wait and see for me

No, we are not dropping Buckets!
Got to find room for Raph & X Clarke, Moyle, Beetham, Plapp, Begley, Sziller, Cranage and of coarse S Charles
OK stop now , random list of past players is getting more random.
If White had debuted like he did against Brisbane a couple of years ago he would be all we would be talking about this summer, as it stands the consensus is that he is about 35th in line
B White? Love?
Darling, I can't get enough of your love babe
Girl, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why
I can't get enough of your love babe
Oh no, babe
When the team for round 1 is announced, I reckon there will be some calls that might be perceived here as really harsh. For instance lets take McKenzie. His finishing to the year was very strong, and according to reports both from the club internally and by people watching training, he is performing exceptionally well and is well and truly ready to take it to the next level. So judging by this, it will be hard for the coaches to leave him out of the 22.
So say McKenzie is included, who gets omitted? On many of our best 22's we are already leaving out Gilbert and Dempster. So do you leave out Savage, Roberton, Dunstan? And then there's the matter of Sinclair, Lonie, White, Freeman (if fit) etc. It will be extremely hard to put many deserving players into the team. For what it's worth, I think this should be the 22 for the game against Melbourne, but of course it will likely be different to mine.
B: Geary - Brown - Dempster
HB: Savage - Carlisle - Roberton
C: Newnes - Armitage - Riewoldt
HF: Billings - Bruce - Membrey
F: Weller - McCartin - Gresham
R: Hickey, Steven, Ross
Int: Acres, McKenzie, Stevens, Montagna

I guess a lot will depend how they go in the JLTCS. ( stuffed if i'll type out the whole name ).
McKenzie will need to stand out to get selected in the season proper.
How many players in a pre-season squad?
Game 1 i'd like to see:
FB: Rice - Brown - White
HB: McKenzie -Carlisle - Roberton
C: Acres -Stevens- Billings
HF: Membrey, Minchington, Battle
FF: Lonie, McCartin, Long
F: Dunstan, Longer, Ross
Coughlan, Freeman, Gilbert, O'Kearney, Sinclair, Wright, Webster, Gresham, Phillips
Ross = Captain.

Cancelled
I like the idea of a young (under 25) & new (Brown, Stevens) side out there..... Just wondering why you sneak Gilbo in to that side?

Your points are spot on and that's what they'll probably do in terms of best performing at the time and gradually change after a game or two.
Only change I'd make from your team is Jack Steele for D-Mac and we're good.

i think he's under the pump and needs to compete for a spot in round 1. Also a pretty versatile player to have, and i don't like setting up a team to lose, even a pre-season game.
I had Steele in my first team instead of D Mac, but given his foot issues I don't think he will be 100% ready for round 1, like say D Mac will be.
