Prediction Best 22 Round 1 2023

[bird_man]

I'd love to see a couple of young mids really step up this year so Gresham can spend more time forward.

Gresham and Higgins could be an exciting duo down there with Butler applying pressure.

I genuinely think we could have the best forward line in the comp if all goes well.

Billings ?

Not right now. He's in the group where I wouldn't have a problem if they played, but I have others ahead of him.

It won't happen but I want to see if billings can be a facilitator off half back. Hopefully rtb can instill some confidence in the kid to hit some of those high risk high reward kicks through the middle

How many list spots do we have? I believe it's 6 (7 if we can add a Cat B rookie).

I'd love us to pick up Rowe as a third small forward option on our list. There's no pressure on Butler and Higgins from below and Rowe is pretty handy depth to keep them accountable.

I wouldn't mind us asking the question of Anderson, RCD and Callow also. Would only want 2 x FA's MAX and get the remaining 4 from the draft/rookie.

Anywho, here's how I see the best 22 (pending further list spots being filled). Gee whiz, Hayes back from his knee is huge I reckon. I think he's exactly the kind of player Lyon loves too. He's a quality forward target that takes some focus from King and allows Membery to not have to play like a gorilla key forward.

I think Billings might surprise a few next year. He’s best 22 for me. Competition for spots will be tight

If Hayes is fit he’s a lock for me. Members is a good player and leader not a foul for King.

I'm thinking Webster will be playing seniors.
He always seems to be far more highly rated by his coaches than he is by us lot.

I'm thinking Webster will be playing seniors.
He always seems to be far more highly rated by his coaches than he is by us lot.

Finding it hard to drop others and think Paton should get the starting gig with Webster breathing down his neck. Hope we find a way to include Matteas early on, and think Jack Hayes is crucial as that 2nd ruck option for us at this stage of our team structure.

Wood a bit stiff in a lot of these sides.
Stood up well this year I thought. Couldn’t have gone in any harder. Penetrated well with his kicking to the top of the square.
Id definitely have him as an in.

I suspect you will be pretty close to the team , however I suspect injuries and form will make the changes to the final team.
Seb Ross will be playing the last season of his 2yr contract , so I fully expect him to have a big year or he is gone , Bytel in the same boat.

Competition for spots will heat up. Don’t think Dmac will be out of the starting line up.
Plenty of options.
