Uwland Collins Andrew
Powell Ballard Rioli
Weller Miller Clohesy
Ainsworth Walter Flanders
Rosas King Long
Witts Rowell Anderson
Noble Graham Humphrey Davies
Swallow
Rogers, Lombard, etc. on the cusp.
Some serious speed and running power in the squad now!
The 3 biggest questions I see are:
1. Andrew forward or back? Our backline looks very good with him there, but his potential up forward is scary. I would like to see more 2 KPF line ups with Long/Humphrey as capable complimentary options to see if we can generate more scores, but that would require less bombing the ball in.
2. Can Rosas Jnr pull his finger out and be the damaging crumber we need. Single handedly changes the lineup if he can and we desperately need it to happen.
3. Who gets midfield time. I’m on record as not liking the Anderson/Rowell/Miller trio the way they all played this year, but they are our best 3. Graham and Davies both provide a defensive wall for the others to focus on ball winning which makes us look better. I’m backing Bear szn 2025. Does Flanders play purely as a floating half forward going where he pleases? Do we see a surprise Powell/Weller addition to add some x-factor and speed? Davies lack of versatility probably hurts him out of all of them, especially with Rowell a similar 90% centre square player already.
