This is my attempt for Round 1.

B: Hamling Lonergan Rivers
HB: Mackie Taylor Brown
C: Vardy Simpson Blicavs
HF: Walker Clark Stanley
FF: Brown Hawkins Kersten
Foll: McIntosh, Kolodjashnij, Menzel

Bench: Smedts, Cowan, H-S
Sub: Selwood

You have two Brown's in there?

Also be some immense questions on whether Brown can survive the cut, Vardy and Simpson take the field and HMac's durability in their absence.
 
What's wrong with horlin smith? Besides his leg speed he is a good prospect in my books.
Nothing "wrong" with him, just does not excite me yet. I thought I couldn't select ALL of them.

Sure that was a piss-take team?
 
So is this the midfield we should expect to see in round 1:

C: Blicavs Vardy Kersten
R: Clark Stanley Walker

No room for Caddy in the side, too short! :p:D

You've listed Brown twice - is there another tall who could take his place in the forward pocket?

Like the idea of Simpson's pace being used to full effect in the guts! Good idea keeping Joel off the ground until the last quarter too, give him his best chance of not getting hurt and running games out. Surprised you didn't consider Smedts at fullback.
 
Week one of next years finals. No injuries. How does our best side look? For me it looks like this.

B: Enright, Lonergan, Bews
HB: Varcoe, Taylor, Rivers
C: Motlop, Hartman, Bundy
HF: Duncan, Vardy, Menzel
FF: SJ, Hawkins, Walker
R: Simpson, Selwood, Caddy
IB: Guthrie, Blitz, Stokes, Bartel

PLayers that could easily be best 22 by finals

Frawley (If he comes across)
  1. Murdoch. (I like him a lot. His pace and goal kicking. But i see Menzel taking his spot in a perfect world)
  2. GHS (He played better than i expected this year. but he remains slow and turns it over too often. And went missing too often. I dont see him getting a game above Caddy, Motlop, Bundy, etc, and honestly think Hartman will lepfrog him with another preseason. He is bigger, faster and harder and has better finishing.
  3. Smedts. (will we ever see the stuff they rave about?)
  4. Kersten. (His last month underwhelmed me massively. And Walkers finals series actually completely changed my feeling on him. Big pack marks and goals. He gave a target. Him + Hawkins + Vardy = scary. Walker could play the lead up role further up the ground. Hawkins deep and Vardy in between - in that scenario, no room for Kersten
  5. Mackie. ( I LOVE HIM. But I reckon Varcoe going back, Bews needs to play - Neil Balme said on SEN the other day that some senior players WILL play 2's next year. Mackie will be one of them i reckon)
  6. McCarthy - will play 1's and could easily be there at seasons end.
  7. Thurlow. Disappointing finals series. Still a way off imo.

Over to you...
You've got too many players under 190cm in the side. Our plan seems to be play a team full of fwd/rucks

B - Rivers, Lonergan, Bews
HB - Enright, Taylor, Thurlow
C - Duncan, Caddy, Stokes
HF - SJ, Vardy, Motlop
F - Stanley, Hawkins, Bartel
R - Clark, Selwood, Guthrie

B - Kelly, GHS, Mackie, Lang

1 of Clark, Vardy & Stanley to ruck while the other 2 are up forward

i am thinking it will be something like this too.

In addition to Brown being listed twice, I think Menzel is a bit too short, and still under an injury cloud. Maybe 190cm Murdoch in his place?
 
Well that's the direction the club is heading isn't it?
Not necessarily.

There are a few speedy types from the VFL team that may be earmarked. Smedts was given a shit sandwich all last season by the MC. Maybe they are thinking its time for him to step up in 2015. McCarthy is a speedy type. We only lost Varcoe and Bundy.
 
Round 1
B: Enright, Lonergan, Rivers
HB: Mackie, Taylor, Thurlow
C: Duncan, Guthrie, Motlop
HF: Johnson, Vardy, Bartel
F: Stokes, Hawkins, Kersten
R: Clark, Selwood, Caddy
I: Stanley, Horlin-Smith, Lang, Bews
E: Murdoch, Kelly, Blicavs

If too tall possibly McCarthy or Hartman in for Kersten
Menzel to play first few games in VFL
 
B: Bews, Lonergan, Rivers
HB: Enright, Taylor, Mackie
C: Duncan, Selwood, Motlop
HF: Bartel, Vardy, Stokes
F: McCarthy, Hawkins, Kersten
R: Clark, Johnson, Caddy
I: Blicavs, Horlin-Smith, Murdoch, Guthrie

I have it as something like that.

Next in line: Hartman, Lang, Kelly, Walker, Thurlow, Jansen, Brown and Simpson

TEAM OF THE CENTURY
 
B: Enright, Lonergan, Rivers
HB: Mackie, Taylor, Thurlow
C: Duncan, Guthrie, Motlop
HF: Bartel, Stanley, Stokes
F: McCarthy, Hawkins, Kersten
R: Clark, Selwood, Caddy
I: Blicavs, Murdoch, Bews, Horlin-Smith

E: Kelly, Hartman, Lang, Walker, Jansen

Assuming Vardy, HMac and Simpson are going to take a while to be in contention
