The side that I put together above rely on nil injuries. We have a serious problem if we lose talls again.

I putting Faith in Cogs and Fiora stepping up and playing along side a rejuvinated Bowden across our centreline.

Players in the centre at the bounce of play would be Staff, Cog's, blumfield and rodan. With Cambpell running of Half back and Johnson running in from half forward.

The backline seems to write itself but the forward line is debatable. I think there will be a push to get mcgrath in our side to add a bit of unpredictability in the forward line.

Richo at 28 would better suited at FF with Hall also down there on dry days. The FF line should read Hall RICHO Mcgrath.

Ottens rotating with Staff in the Ruck.

Look forward to peoples opinion.

i dont agree with starting johnson on the half fwd line. we recruited him as a seasoned midfielder.rodan should be used more on the ball this year i agree however not at the expense of johnson.
which leads to another query who is going to rove to richo,ottens and hall? tivendale isnt a half fwd. if we are going to have 3 talls in the fwd line we need at the very least a rodan and/or krakour.
i must say tho lets hope mgrath does burn

cheers!
