Still not 100% on my best 23 tbh. What trying to do it has highlighted to me is how versatile this squad is (possibly the most versatile in the league?) and how we could genuinely shape up on a case-by-case basis.
Not that you want to be a reactive team, but it's great to know we legitimately have plan B & C available if required. JLo seems pretty adept at a changeup if needed (Fyfe vs Saints was a great example) and moving to 23 available will add to our options.
Jackson in particular provides us with huge versatility, but O'Meara and Fyfe can also rotate fwd, Brayshaw can play inside and outside (may even be our best winger). NOD can swing inside, Chapman and Young can roll up the wing, Walters and Switta can do stints on-ball, and there's more I haven't mentioned - it's going to be exciting to watch.
Still relatively weak fwd line, but Amiss will be a star, Treacy too, and I like the cut of Corbett's jib, think he'll play a role and do it well whilst those two develop over the next 2 years.
Weird to say but make sure you enjoy this period. It'll never be better. Even realising the dream isn't as wide-eyed, optimistic and downright intoxicating as potential and hope, and boy we've got buckets full of it.
The fact that West Coast are staring out at a barren, Mordor-esque wasteland for at least 5 years makes it even sweeter too.
All aboard the Purple Express, wherever she may lead!
