I’ve already given what I believe we are likely to go with.
Just a discussion briztoon
It’s all good.
My two bobs worth on Payne, is that whilst arguably Gardner and Adams are in front of him (at this stage), he has shown he can mark on mid to tall forwards so is still a reasonable chance of being in the back 7 for 2022, even with Gardner and Adams in the team. If Lions are not going to give him an opportunity in 2022, then forget about him being long term future back with Andrews, he will likely seek a release and explore other options...contracts are broken by players and clubs. Even admin and coaching staff leave to seek opportunities, eg David Noble.

Sorry just saw this after i posted.
Tough for Dev but I think I’ve got Cockatoo taking his place if fully fit for round 1.
Yeah it sucks for the players but give me a situation where we have four or five that could consider themselves really unlucky not to be in there vs a team that picks itself any day of the week.
Dev played most of last season but we also had best 22 guys out most of the season. Personally have both Prior and Cockatoo ahead purely for their versatility. I like Cockatoo as more of a point of difference either in the middle or up forward, Dev would be a pretty similar style and role to Neale and Lyons for me.
Yeah 100%, they’re all different roles and positions as well so good depth all round.
At this present time Kai Lohmann is the best chance of playing senior footy in 2022. He is impressing the right guys with his speed and read of the play.Below link to foxsports article best 22 all clubs
Even tough they probably got most players correct.
It just looks like a copy and past from somewhere in 2021.
Add the in/outs and throw in out top pick Wilmott to make debut sometime in the year. Then find a spot for our only trade Fort
Mentions Hippy out most of the year. So a bit lazy on their part regarding Brisbane
Then mentions Answerth got the last bench spot only to see he is not named
Seeing it is still the offseason i will post there Lions team & the link for anyone interested in other teams

BRISBANE LIONS
B: Marcus Adams, Darcy Gardiner, Brandon Starcevich
HB: Ryan Lester, Harris Andrews, Daniel Rich
C: Hugh McCluggage, Dayne Zorko, Mitch Robinson
HF: Cam Rayner, Dan McStay, Zac Bailey
F: Lincoln McCarthy, Joe Daniher, Charlie Cameron
FOLL: Oscar McInerney, Jarryd Lyons, Lachie Neale
I/C: Jarrod Berry, Deven Robertson, Keidean Coleman, Darcy Fort
..............
In: Darcy Fort, Darcy Wilmot, Kai Lohmann, James Tunstill
Out: Grant Birchall, Archie Smith, Connor Ballenden, Tom Joyce, Brock Smith
WE SAY: The Lions enter the 2022 season with a similar side to the one that went down the Western Bulldogs by one point in the semi-final. They’ll be boosted by the return of Cam Rayner from an ACL injury and he’s slated for more midfield time, while ruck-forward recruit Darcy Fort fills a chasm. Eric Hipwood is expected to miss most of the season with an ACL injury. Noah Answerth could also return from a groin injury that plagued him last year, with Grant Birchall’sretirement opening up a spot in the backline. Answerth got the last bench spot over the likes of Rhys Mathieson and Callum Ah Chee to provide that defensive support. Also set to charge his way into the best 22 at some point this year is Darcy Wilmot, a mid-sized defender who the Lions took with their top pick and someone who could be a nice replacement for the now-retired Birchall.

What’s the go with the ankle?
At last weeks intra Hippy was the goal umpire and was instructing Kai on his positioning in the forward line.
Team will more than likely be pretty close but Kiddy will be playing in defence this year without a doubt in my mind.
Thanks for Answerth spelling, I should have looked it up.
