Rd 1 2018 AFL B: Nielsen, Tarrant, M Williams HB: Clarke, EVW, Ahern C: Hartung, Cunnington, McDonald R: Pruess, LDU, Higgins HF: Atley, Wood, Simpkin F: Ziebell, Brown, Garner I: Dumont, Hibberd, Durdin, Turner VFL B: Morgan, Thompson, Wright HB: J Williams, McKay, Macmillan C: Mountford...

I went Nielsen on the assumption that Thompson & Tarrant aren't in the team. Durdin or McKay can play CHF and swing if required. EVW third tall defender. Don't want to be too top heavy considering the trends.

He did last year. It's just my prediction on who Scott will pick Rd1 if all fit. I'd personally prefer multiple changes- see previous posts

Scott Rd1 2018 AFL B: M Williams, Thompson, Wright HB: Macmillan, Tarrant, McDonald C: Atley, Cunnington, Hartung R: Goldstein, Jacobs, Higgins HF: Garner, Waite, Simpkin F: Ziebell, Brown, Turner I:Wood, Ahern, Hrovat, LDU

That's exactly my point. I'd like to see us prioritise the development of those with talent who will be around for our next tilt. Too many games gifted to out of form experienced players over the last couple of years. It's stunted the development of a few. It's also imperative we finish bottom 6...

Just had a look at a couple of potential teams for Rd 1 post draft. Leave the old, injured & newbies in the VFL to start with then adjust purely based on merit - with the exception of Ahern & LDU of course AFL B: M Williams, Neilsen, EVW HB: Clarke, Tarrant, McDonald C: Ahern, Cunnington...

Brayshaw Spargo Brayshaw Hanson Hartung Lennon Wagner

Spot on and it's pick 91 FFS. It's a long term moneyball selection. We're trying to build a list to contend in 2020 and beyond. Of course Mullett is a better player right now, but he's 26, unlikely to improve and players of his caliber are a dime a dozen

Don't understand why GF didn't stay v WBD. Makes sense to build a rivalry between clubs with best community engagement. I'd be surprised if we get it next year. Speaking of which, the fixture is a joke. The AFL is no longer a competition and it's hard to take it seriously if the fixture is not...

I wouldn't be surprised if we take 3-4 x 20-22 yr olds with our later picks. We can afford to speculate because there'll be plenty of list spots available next year with retirees

Hope we pick best available mids with some speed/endurance, foot skills and good decision making. Dow, Cerra or Brayshaw for me. Maybe a couple of 20-22 yr olds with later picks

An enigma is Lindsay. Freakishly skilled, gave everything for the jumper, but ultimately he was flawed. Played an all or nothing way and rarely gave a team oriented solid contest. The playing for free kicks didn't sit well with me. He's contracted so he stays and plays VFL or goes to Port if...

I'm going smaller, faster, more mid rotations and more pressure. Also, I'm leaving the really old guys out because this group needs to develop together. B: M Williams, Tarrant, Nielsen HB: Clarke, Durdin, Ahern C: Atley, Cunnington, Mountford R: Pruess, McDonald, Higgins HF: Garner, Wood...

3 Higgins 2 Brown 1 McDonald

How did you know that?

How would a midfield of Cunnington, Martin, Kelly, Rockliff, Higgins, McDonald, Jacobs, Ahern, Atley, Mountford, Dumont & Simpkin look?

Likely, were a bit tall down back given the expected weather

Yes, I would. Neither have a roll to play from 2018 onwards. Gibson only makes it because there is nobody else left to bring in to play his role

In: Preuss, M Williams, Tarrant, Ziebell Out: Larkey, J Williams, Thompson, Swallow B: M Williams, Tarrant, Nielsen HB: Atley, Durdin, Mullet C: Mountford, Cunnington, McDonald R: Preuss, Higgins, Dumont HF: Garner, Waite, Ziebell F: Hrovat, Brown, Simpkin I: Daw, Clarke, Zurhaar, Gibson

3 Higgins 2 Tarrant 1 Brown

Yeah that's right except when the experienced players are are the headless chooks - Goldy, Thompson & Thomas in particular

Out: Waite, Macmillan, Ziebell - all injured, Goldstein, Thompson - mentally & physically soft In: Cunnington, Dumont, Simpkin, Preuss, Nielsen Thomas has a crack at playing small defender before wright comes in next week to replace either him or Mullett
