I would go for the union or soccer system.Have a large bench with 4 subs allowed but no interchange.Puts a premium on fitness but that's just my 2 centsKeep in mind it could also be reduced back to 22 players only too. This notion that it is either 22 plus a sub or 23 players is wrong. I’m personally in the camp of 22 only and no sub but that’s just me.
Noone has McKenna in their sides.Have I ,not for the first time,missed something.
I have always thought that I preferred the game before unlimited interchanges went crazy. Making limited subs and position changes was just was a more interesting tactical battle.I would go for the union or soccer system.Have a large bench with 4 subs allowed but no interchange.Puts a premium on fitness but that's just my 2 cents
If the AFL go to 5 on the bench, they should reduce the interchange numbers.I have always thought that I preferred the game before unlimited interchanges went crazy. Making limited subs and position changes was just was a more interesting tactical battle.
I dont see the code going down that path anymore though.
Better to make the decision now, rather than close the season usual AFL style.If the AFL go to 5 on the bench, they should reduce the interchange numbers.
But 2 changes to the one rule would be too much for them to contemplate in the one year.
I still feel like Kiddy might take a few weeks to really get going in the year. I wouldn't be surprised if he missed round 1 at least to get some VFL game time at least. So I reckon Zorko starts the year there but good chance he moves to other roles as Kiddy gets goingWeird situation with Kiddy and Zorko. IMO you can't take Zorko out of half back after what he did this year.
Starce one of 1st picked. Prediction: next 2 flags, and Joe will return 2026.B- T.Doedee J.Payne D.Zorko
HB- D.Wilmot H.Andrews K.Coleman
C- J.Fletcher J.Dunkley H.Mcluggage
HF- Z.Bailey L.Morris C.Rayner
F- C.Cameron E.Hipwood K.Lohmann
FOLL- O.Mclnerney W.Ashcroft L.Neale
I/C- B.Ah’Chee, J.Berry, L.Ashcroft, D.Fort, L.McCarthy
Emerg- N.Answerth, B.Starcevich, D.Robertson, S.Brain, S.Day
I'm not sure about that. Our direct replacements for the 3rd tall type are Doedee and Gardiner. Both those 2 are solid footballers for sure and you can make arguments that they should start. But they aren't all that young. Unless I've misinterpreted what you have meant?Evolution has to happen. Premiership player and all round good guy Ryan Lester will probably becomes more of a backup player next year and promote younger players to get experience.

Lester starts for mine.
Kiddys last full game he was almost BOG in a GF
It is a big ask for a player to break into a premiership team after such a long layoff.If both Doedee and Lester are both fully fit and competing for the final spot in the team, I just don't see a world where Doedee isn't picked. As good as Lester has been, if Doedee is able to get back to his best the trio of he, Harris and Payne will be hands down the best in the league.
That is an 'if' though. 3 ACLs is no joke and there is. I guarantee Doedee will find that form though.
In his first year especially, he just kept winning these one on one wing contests that he had no right to win against senior players. He was a bit down this year, as many are in their second year, but I don’t think you can teach those instincts. I remain hugely optimistic about Fletcher.mccluggage took a major leap in his third year. think the gametime we've invested into fletcher will really pay off next year and i expect him to explode. has a lot of really exciting traits.
Fletch’s final series was exceptional I thought and IMO in our top 10 finals players if there was such a thing.In his first year especially, he just kept winning these one on one wing contests that he had no right to win against senior players.
