A bigger deal out west.
I'd say more Athletic Volleyball.
I think I've made that mistake every time I've tried to write ANB.

Pretty spot on. I reckon Bond could make a sneaky case for pushing Laird out at some stage.
That’s 22, it’s missing the sub.
Forgot dowling
Lots of stats to state the bleeding obvious?
1) Picking Borlase over Murray shows a Murphy-like lack of awareness.
2) Laird and Crouch in the midfield?

I actually love the idea of Soligo on the wing.
I know he's very capable as an inside mid but it's just so squeezy in there. Impossible to fit everyone in. Someone needs to get squeezed out and impact from outside.
Keays has done it, becoming that high half forward.
The beauty of Soligo is that he can be multi-faceted. He can win a hard ball when needed but also work into space. Be an inside/outside player. Dual threat. Sometimes your outside receivers get lost in tough, scrappy games but I don't think he will.

Forgot Nank, you mean?
If you added a poll I reckon you'd get 90% agreeance that the below would be our round 1 side. The 10% would be arguing Keane over Butts, maybe Dowling as sub and perhaps Sholl on a wing, but that 22 would be pretty close to universally popular.
Have done a deep dive on historical posting by the Crom supporters and I think Nick's team might look something like this...
FF: Josh Rachelle - Riley Thilthorp - Isaac Rankine
HF: Ben Keys - Darcy Fogerty - Alex Neil-Bullen
C: Lachlan Scholl - Jordon Dawson - Isaac Coming
FOLL: Riley O'Brien - Jake Siligo - Dan Curtain
HB: Wayne Millera - Jordan Butts - Max Michelanney
FB: Josh Worrall - Mark Keene - Chase Jones
INT: Braden Cook - Harry Schonberg - Kieran Strauchan - Brody Smith
SUB: Syd Draper

Take Laird Crouch Sholl out and it's a good team. Laird wasn't even best 22 last year.
Sholl was, so was Crouch.

Most of our midfielders are capable of playing as inside & outside midfielders. Given we have more midfield depth, we should be using some players in both roles & horses for courses on the day as to proportion they play in each role.
