From a Freo perspective, I think those 3 Freo players are locks and Young 50/50. I'd personally have him ahead of Rivers but admit to bias. The midfield competition in this group is nutty because of that crazy 2019 draftMy side:
B: Harry Sheezel - Sam De Koning - Trent Rivers
HB: Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - Nick Murray - Nick Daicos
C: Nic Martin - Tom Green - Errol Gulden
HF: Kysaiah Pickett - Jamarra Ugle-Hagan - Mitch Owens
F: Oliver Henry - Jye Amiss - Cody Weightman
R: Luke Jackson - Caleb Serong - Noah Anderson
I: Jai Newcombe - Matt Rowell - Miles Bergman - Max Holmes
Young and Warner were the unluckiest to miss my side, due to the strong depth. I can't knock Rivers' consistency and improved defensive application. Deserves to make it.From a Freo perspective, I think those 3 Freo players are locks and Young 50/50. I'd personally have him ahead of Rivers but admit to bias.

Correct. Last year, especially based on the second half of his year, he was worthy.Young and Warner were the unluckiest to miss my side, due to the strong depth. I can't knock Rivers' consistency and improved defensive application. Deserves to make it.
Edit: on second thought, I'm not sure Holmes has been consistent enough. He's out and Warner in.

We’ll just kick out Bergman instead and bond over how good Jackson isRivers is a gun, probably our most underrated player.
Sadly quite telling how there are no West Coast players in that list, and deservedly so. As much as I like to rubbish Freo they have the makings of a potential flag contender - already sorted for ruck, medium defense, midfield and key forward.
Hopefully there will be up to half a dozen in there for 2024 and 2025 (potentially from Ginbey, Hewitt, Long, Maric, Bazzo, Hough, Chesser, this year's first rounder, and maybe a random that bolts into contention).
I think Will Day makes the team as well but I'm not sure at who's expense. Going to be a couple players who are pretty stiff to miss out.My side:

I had him on the bench tried to balance my mid group serong and green my two chosen Bulls.Can y'all do the right thing and vote for Newcombe this year please.
Didn't make it last year despite winning the coaches association young player of the year award.
Currently in the top 20 of overall coaches votes.
Close to breaking Dusty's record for most broken tackles in a season.
Defence key position stocks is a tough one. De Koning has struggled for fitness and form comparative to last season. Have enjoyed Nick Murray's year, but is selecting him for team balance the right thing to do for an 'award' like this?
Nature of this side is that it’s more about where those 7-8 players are at in 2 years time.
Jordan Clarke for example, is playing his 5th season.
Lots of midfield competition
Kemp has been better than Murray or De Koning this year. A big part of Carltons improvement this year in the second half of the season.Can y'all do the right thing and vote for Newcombe this year please.

Murray has easily been the Crows most improved this season before injury.Kemp has been better than Murray or De Koning this year. A big part of Carltons improvement this year in the second half of the season.
Was thinking this myself, he is lucky he has the DPP fwd because I have him behind a few mids. It's probably more due to the quality footy these guys have been able to produce rather than Smith dropping off but I have him behind:Bailey Smith was talked about as being a future star, wouldn't be close to being a starting mid in this team.
A bit of both- he definitely has dropped off. Needs to get back on the baggies to recapture his form maybe?Was thinking this myself, he is lucky he has the DPP fwd because I have him behind a few mids.

The Geelong and Fremantle logos look almost identical.
