I went off the list on afc.com.au which doesn't have the new recruits yet.You missed Stengle too
McAdam is the unknown at this point and is hard to predict without any known AFL form. If he cracks the round 1 side when there are no injuries then we will have a beauty on our hands. If so, who misses out?
Would love to try it and see how it goes at leastCant see us playing 2 ruckman. Jj to pinch hit again next season.
Would love to see Himmelberg and what he has to offer in the ruck, as would add more flexibility than ROBWould love to try it and see how it goes at least
We need to start the transition. ROB must play 10-15 games next year. Whether its with Sauce playing or not. Maybe the 2 could rotate between SANFL and AFL so Sauce still gets to play rather than sitting out all together. He can also assist Strachan in the SANF develop. I dont mind the idea of playing both in the AFL. ROB and Sauce are both fit buggers. You can see by ROBS finish in the Long distance Run that he can run all day.I “liked” for the good vibes comment. Not the thought of Sauce spending more time up forward.

Could be an option against sides like West Coast that play 2 rucks, that he follows the 2nd ruckman wherever they play.Rob also played some Under 18's as a key back so has that ability
4 genuine talls (>190) up forwardI'm assuming Talia and Hartigan are unavailable, and that Gallucci is.
Betts - Fogarty - Jenkins
Knight - Walker - Lynch
Seedsman - Gibbs - Atkins
Milera - Doedee - Smith
Brown - Keath - Laird
Jacobs - M Crouch - Sloane
Greenwood - Gallucci - Kelly - B Crouch
Mitch Cleary is clueless. Normally takes Vic journalists 18 months to catch up with who is actually in our squad as none of them watch our matches. He puts Kelly in the team over Keath lol. Do some work Cleary and look at the coaches votes last year as to who they prefer out of Keath or Hartigan. Keath and Knight definitely best 22 and likely best 15 imo. He places Doedee at CHB to obviously find a spot for kelly. Doedee is a great player but he not a key position player. Obviously Cleary did this to keep in with Craig Kelly. Kelly is not best 22 and will struggle to get a game unless injuries. Talia will more than likely be fit for round 1 and I predict will team up with Keath in the 2 key defensive posts. He leaves out fogarty who easily could play the lynch link up role or down back. Fogarty will more than likely play a majority of the season if he increases his tank over preseason. Cleary blindly earmarks sauce in for another 22 games. No mention of needing to transition another ruckman in this year with sauce likely retiring at the end of 2019. I feel ROB or Himmelberg will be transitioned into ruck for half of the season so I predict sauce will maybe play around 10 matches in 2019. I feel Jones will get 8 to 10 games most likely in place of Douglas or if Atkins drops form. All in all a lazy weak efffort Cleary, stick to VFL teams you watch each week.Not sure it's been posted yet but here's a Mitch Cleary article from afl.com which AFC posted on Facebook for discussion.

Flanders
McAdam
Indiana Jones
Oh, and that Brad Crouch guy. Apparently goes ok

Kelly and Rat out, Knight and Hartigan in for meWITH club lists all but settled for the 2019 season, AFL.com.au reporters have tackled the big task of picking the best 22 for each team for the opening round next season.
Adelaide
TEAM EXPLAINED:
Set to receive a big boost to the midfield with Brad Crouch back training after missing all of 2018 with osteitis pubis.
His combination with brother Matt Crouch, Rory Sloane, Bryce Gibbs and Hugh Greenwood will allow Paul Seedsman and Rory Atkins to work on the outside.
David Mackay and Cam Ellis-Yolmen will consider themselves unlucky to miss with the Crows' onball depth strengthened this off-season.
A fit Taylor Walker in attack with Josh Jenkins and Tom Lynch will offset the loss of Mitch McGovern with second-year forward Darcy Fogarty close to selection.
Kyle Hartigan's delayed pre-season ensures Jake Kelly should have first rights to the last spot in defence with Tom Doedee now a lock.
Daniel Talia has undergone knee surgery, and although he'll be in a race against time for round one, is a walk-up start when fit.
PRE-SEASON BATTLE:
It's an embarrassment of riches in the small forward division which will leave a handful of players extremely unlucky.
Eddie Betts has a mortgage on his spot, but Shane McAdam, Jordan Gallucci, Lachlan Murphy, Tyson Stengle, Ned McHenry and Chayce Jones will be fighting for two spots.
McAdam and Gallucci win out for now. - Mitch Cleary
