Your Team's Best 22 - Round 1 2018

[Kangaroos4eva]

Probably a bit too early for this type of thread, but it has been a really slow off-season.

What would your team's best 22 look like come Round One 2018.

Also feel free to post why you chose said players, in particular bolters that you feel are primed for a big 2018 season.

I'll kick off with North's:

Recovery from hot spots early in the year. Then played some decent WAFL before getting turf toe. Then never came back.

Really hope he can have a full preseason and play on a flank for us in round 1.

This is a really quick attempt. The Ruck there is no clear stand out, and, I really would like to see Aliir in there. A draftee probably will step up into the team as there is always 1 per year. J. Dawson has huge wraps on him from Swans supporters and Florent should be around the mark to who are notable omissions from the squad.

B: N. Smith, H. Grundy, D. Rampe
HB: C. Mills, L. Melican, J. McVeigh
c: J. Lloyd, G. Hewett, D. Hannebery
hf: W. Hayward, S. Reid, I. Heeney
f: G. Rohan, L. Franklin, T. Papley

C: Brayshaw Oliver Lewis
HF: Petracca Hogan Melksham
F: Garlett TMcdonald Hannan
R: Gawn Viney Jones
Int: Tyson Neal-Bullen Harmes Bugg**

** the 22nd slot could be one of a bunch. Vince, Stretch, Kent, Pedersen, Balic, vandenBerg, Maynard all possible.

Probably missed Salem, but looks about right apart from that.

[OhhDeledio]

I would like to see this. Broad to come back after suspension with Miles to be strongly knocking on the door along with Conca, Lloyd, CEllis, Stengle, Menadue and Hampson.

That's actually a pretty exciting blend of youth and experience. Not saying we're flag contenders next year, or even the year after, but the future looks bright again....

 

[Bokonon_]

B. Corr Davis Shaw
H/B Adam Kennedy Haynes Tomlinson Williams
C Ward Whitfield Scully
HF Deledio Cameron De Boer
FF Greene Patton Himmelburg
R Lobb Shiel Kelly
IC Hopper Taranto Setterfield

1.Zac Williams plays as our 7th back, linkman so have placed him there.
2. Griffen definitely possible just anticipating Setterfield will demand a spot through the off season.
3. Possible we'll go for big Dawson as ruck with Lobb relieving forward. That leaves no spot for Himmelberg though and his defensive pressure forward and the ability to kick goals is important.
4. All the small forwards rotate through the midfield and their positions are notional.

No Basti?

 

[aussierulesrules]

B: Geary Brown Gilbert
HB: Roberton Carlisle Webster
C: Newnes Armitage Sinclair
HF: Billings Bruce Weller
F: Membrey McCartin Gresham
R: Longer Ross Steven
INT: Acres Dunstan Steele Savage
E: Stevens Freeman Lonie White

Stevens stiff, as he came about equal-5th in our B&F this year for B&F votes per game played, but if Armitage is back fully fit and in form he probably gets the nod. Either one would be very stiff to miss.

I also imagine whoever we get with picks 7 and 8 in the draft could easily enough be in the mix from round 1.

I tried to edit my bench shortly after posting but had an error keep coming up.

 

[Masqualero]

Mullet - Jones - Plowman

Marchbank - Weitering - Docherty


E.Curnow - Petrevski-Seton - Simpson

Kreuzer - Murphy - Cripps
