Well, on the eve of the new season, how does out current best 25 break down?
I started from the bottom and worked my way up.
Weighing best v most important, incorporating partly speculative criteria of who I expect to make the biggest contributions to success, here's my list:
1. Naitanui
2. Kennedy
3. Cox
4. Glass
5. Darling
6. Shuey
7. Selwood
8. Kerr
9. LeCras
10. Mackenzie
11. Waters
12. Hurn
13. Schofield
14. Priddis
15. Gaff
16. Wellingham
17. Masten
18. Rosa
19. Hill
20. Butler
21. Embley
22. Selwood
23. McGinnity
24. Sheppard
25. Nicoski
That top 10-12 could be ordered differently but I reckon that is our top tier.
Struggled to put the midfield in a decisive order – I reckon Shuey, Kerr and Selwood are the cream of the crop, with the others a rung below. And I reckon we need a couple of guys to get their noses in front of Kerr if we're to take the next step. Hence that order.
Do I have Kennedy too high? Priddis, Gaff or Masten too low? Too hard on Rosa?
Should Brennan or Brown be in there instead of Nicoski or Sheppard?
