My list gives some younger players a bit more time

Adelaide: Mackay
Brisbane: Lester/Rich
Carlton: Ed Curnow/Thomas/White
Collingwood: I don't know Collingwood enough but surely one of their other guys like Phillips, Smith, Broomhead, Ramsay, Crisp or Hoskin-Elliot musn't be pulling their weight
Essendon: Green
Footscray: The edgy pick is someone like Johannisen or Stringer; the correct pick is someone like Cordy, Suckling, Tom Boyd or Adams
Fremantle: Kersten
Geelong: Murdoch/Bews
Gold Coast: Haven't seen enough suns games but surely Joyce and Leslie play less games in a better side? Is Lemmens worth being picked every week?
Greater Western Sydney: Have no idea
Hawthorn: Was Gibson, but is probably on his last legs. Langford is get inside but is a terrible kick.
Melbourne: Vince/Melksham/Bugg (punch aside, he's not that great)
North Melbourne: Mullett/Hansen/Gibson
Port Adelaide: Tough, but Sam Gray and Impey don't kick enough goals, are Broadbent and Young good enough?
Richmond: Castagna, Prestia, Edwards and Caddy are at times not far behind
St Kilda: Gilbert or Weller, largely because he misses a lot of shots
Sydney: Ruck duo of Naismith and Sinclair isn't flash
West Coast: Priddis is a contender, so is Wellingham and Cripps

Good list. Wellingham just got dropped and has been earlier in the season. Cripps yeah doesn't do enough each game to consistently play but at least either don't have a negative affect on the team like Priddis does
 
Travis Varcoe a low-key nom for this thread.

Is a 29 years old former first round draft pick and premiership player, who hardly gets the ball, is a terrible defender, rarely kicks a goal, rarely lays a tackle that actually sticks, and makes maybe one or two decent decisions a week. Basically just does a lot of useless running and ball watching and sheepdogging.

The games he misses are through injury, not through being dropped, and he gets a free pass straight back into the side when fit (his senior selection last week came on the back of a 11-disposal, 0 goal, 0 tackle VFL performance). I don't see what he offers at this point, or why he's a regular at Collingwood when fit.

Hasn't had a good couple of weeks but he's a very clean user of the ball, important for experience and leadership, and is a great link-up player. More than deserving of a spot in our 22 weekly.

His "clean use of the ball" is overrated and overstated, considering how few disposals he gets, and how few are in damaging areas of the park. For every 1-2 clever disposals or decisions, there's 3-4 innocuous junk kicks or handballs to the opposition.

Replace Bews with Motlop.

Surely it is Majak Daw at. He has been getting games. for standing in the forward-line and putting up 1 hand when it comes down. Not sure why he is still on a list.

If Daw doesn't qualify then Lewis Jetta. He is a nothing footballer. He had 1 good year in 2012 and has done nothing since.

Jetta has actually played well this year. Daw is on a list because of his physique

Nick Robertson stands out to me when I watch the Lions.

No offence but you obivously haven't watched much of the Lions this year then. Robertson has been our biggest improver this year and has locked himself into our best 22 with multiple standout performances. Might even be top 5 in the bnf currently

Ryan Lester on the other hand is not worthy of getting a game. Sub par skills and very slow. Not much going for him. He'd get my vote out of the Lions
