Hayes has to get games next year it'll be interesting how they manage it.

I think you're almost on the money. I expect that Finlayson will play though, most likely ahead of Georgiades unless his groundball game has improved.
Prefer Marshall , playing higher up where he can run at ball, turn and deliver to the forwards. Gray plays closer to goal these days, so prob swap Marshall and Gray.

He will. Lycetts loves a suspension or he will get injured and last resort like any ruck will need to be rested either for a full game or have the load taken by Hayes for part of the year
Also I'd say he's a good chance to get games if any of Marshall, Georgeiadis or Dixon miss. Also Port have shown they're happy to play those 3 with a 4th like Lycett aswell
I'd say Finlayson is last in line but he will fill up in some dominant port wins if he gets a game

I think he will play too, but not for Georgiades who will play every game of fit. More likely a mid or half back drops out and we play the 4 talls like we did for a lot of last year.

Yeh not really placed on position too much. Forward 7 group, back 7 group, 5 onballers and 3 wingers. As too who's higher ect I havnt gone into that too much
Agree Robbie will stay pretty close to deep Dixon and the goal square this year
Think Robbie will set up more goals with slick pick ups and give offs than finnish off the plays himself this year , Fantasia will feed off him

MG is great especially for his age, but he is an incredibly one dimensional player to date. He takes marks and takes shots.
Absolutely love Mitch but he is certainly not in my first 12 selections.
There is pressure on all of our tall forward/rucks (Id argue MG plays as a tall even if a bit shorter).
Marshall, Dixon, MG, Hayes, Lycett, Finlayson. Not all will play every week and all need to work to get/keep their spot.

This is just silly.
We absolutely need Bergman on ball - start Boak and Butters on the bench and run a Bergman Hayes Bergman combo - that's a much better mix of inside talent.
Yeah gray unfortunately is a bit of a liability close to goal now.
Once it was his strength, but now oppo coaches know that they can put a bigger slower player on him to nullify his body work / marking and they won’t get hurt by gray running off them. Isolating gray as a marking threat hasn’t worked in years
Where gray still has some magic is in congestion with his vision / 360 degree awareness and ability to create. He is able to create and start plays with clever touches.
Unfortunately he gets exposed in the midfield or half forward going the other way.
In the end you hope they don’t do too much damage, the rest of the team helps shut things down by playing their roles and that gray does more damage than his opponents.
But yeah I don’t see gray as a deep threat whatso ever anymore. A pinch hitter around contests in the forward half imo.
I reckon the first third of the year, they should prioritise:
Jones, Georgiades, Hayes, Marshall, Bergman, Drew, SPP and Sinn.
I don’t think we lose any more games playing these players. And shorter seasons for some of our ageing players isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

This 100%. + Mead and if he’s up to it Williams. Give Gray, Dixon, Motlop an extended preseason and shorter seasons Clark Keating at Brisbane barely played the first half of the year in their premiership seasons, didn’t do them any harm.
I would say Most of them are in our strongest team.
Jones- should be pushing to be in best team/if not in it already.
Bergman- is a starter.
Marshall?- up to him.
Georgiadis- ******* legend.
Hayes- (could possibly take over from Lycett depending on how he goes this year.)
Drew- is a starter.
Spp- same as Marshall... His choice if he wants to be an AFL footballer at port.
Sinn- well he's young... But a good preseason will see him get games early.
*We could keep going with this list.... Alot of talented players picking a team round 1 will be hard and good players will miss out.

I'd have Lienert on the wing
No Finlayson, McKenzie, SPP. Marshall as a sub. 3 small (or play small) defenders on the bench. One ruck, Dixon presumably as only second. Well balanced, good looking team.

Tom Clurey gets monstered by anyone with any size, that backline ain't getting the job done in finals.
