Doubt we will be risking Doedee for round 1.... as a long season ahead.

Great opportunity for Worrell to debut in his role.

In the SANFL side maybe. It'll be Kelly who gets the nod, with basically only forced changes from our late 2020 side (plus Milera back in).

Because (a) it's us and (b) we did finish the year fairly well, and (c) looking at the side for the Richmond game, who misses out?

B: Brown, Talia, Kelly
HB: McPherson, Hartigan, Smith
C: Mackay, Sloane, Sholl
HF: Lynch, Walker, Keays
F: McAdam, Himmelberg, Stengle
R: ROB, M. Crouch, Laird
I/C: Jones, Schoenberg, Fog, B. Crouch
(might not be actual positions they lined up in but you get the idea)

Butts or McAsey replaces Hartigan. Both come in if Talia misses.
Rowe replaces Stengle
Hately replaces B. Crouch
Milera probably replaces Mackay, but don't rule out Mad Dog from keeping his spot. ;)
Doedee still to come back too.

Other than Mackay, Fogarty and Jones are probably the only two at risk of missing out (which is depressing considering their age and draft position). Everyone else looks to be a lock.

Nah, Kelly in the SANFL teaching our young defenders how to annoy opposition forwards.

Worrell's AFL time is now.

There will be more than 5 changes to our last game.

It is hard to see who else on face value, but there should be.

Don't see Kelly as a lock myself.

I think Worrell will get his chance, but not right away.

We've got to try and get games into him as well as Thilthorpe, Berry, Pedlar, McHenry, Hamill, O'Connor and maybe a Borlase/Murray (if he gets listed).

This might sound harsh, but I hope we don't bring in guys like Frampton, Seedsman and Murphy as soon as we get an injury. They should all be break glass only.

We've rarely had the issue we currently face of having a huge number of kids we HAVE to get games into.

Going to hard to squeeze them all in, maybe a block of 4/5 games at a time

The issue is he's not really very good at that

Kelly is pretty solid defensively. Just woeful with the ball in hand

He shouldn't be best 22, but that's because McPherson is a genuinely better footballer.

Competition in the SANFL side will be red hot with many of the youngsters striving for a spot in the AFL side. I expect to see a very dominant crows SANFL side this year AND hopefully players in the league side purely on merit

I'm tipping Borlase could play that role.
From what I've seen he's very disciplined, has good concentration and complete awareness of his opponents whereabouts.
If given an opportunity he'll be a solid contributor who'll give his opposition player little leeway.
He's a smart player.
 
How I think it looks right now:

The locks:

FB: Brown Butts MacPherson
HB: Doedee (if fit) XX Smith
C: Sholl M Crouch XX
HF: Walker XX Lynch
FF: McAdam XX XX

1R: ROB Sloane Laird

INT: Milera, Schoenberg, XX, XX

Unavailable: Talia

Now, I think we should only be picking one of Walker/Lynch, but we know that won't happen.
I think that leaves us with 7 positions. At least one needs to be a tall defender, and one a key forward.

Those in contention/most likely for the vacant positions:
Himmelberg - most likely the CHF/Key forward.
Keays - Love his effort, but still think he's limited. I'd rather see a more promising player (one with a higher cieling) like Pedlar.
Hamill - wing/HB rotation? Needs to get more of the ball to push his claims.
Hately - another inside mid? Can we fit him in if Sloane plays?
Rowe - likely small forward starter
Murphy - competing with Rowe. We know what he brings, so lets play Rowe instead
McAsey - CHB? Do we have other options?
Thilthorpe - mainly a forward. Unlikely round 1 I think, but possible. Not quite ready yet, but will get games in 2021 for sure.
Fogarty - I don't get why anyone thinks he is a CHF. He's an old fashioned lead, mark, kick FF. That's it. Unfortunately for him that isn't todays game, and you simply can't play him and Walker at the same time.
Worrell - Could be a flexible choice. Can play as a defender. Maybe a good match up for J Cameron? Could play other roles as well.
Davis - looked promising as a defender. If Doedee isn't fit, could get a surprise call up.
McHenry - Loved what he did in the internal. Impacts the game with his energy. If he is strong in the next few weeks, might surprise.
Jones - started to look good. If forms stays up, will be hard to overlook.
Pedlar - looked great. Can he maintain it? A big chance
Berry - very similar to Pedlar. Pedlar maybe just in front, but Berry is pushing.
Borlase - did well, but not ready yet
Frampton - played well, but no.
Newchurch - exciting but a way to go yet
OTHERS - not yet.

So, that is a long list of possibles. There are some the club would love to secure their spot but haven't yet. The selections will be really interesting over the next two weeks.

Here is how we could line up (assuming Doedee is fit and Talia isn't)


FB: Brown Butts MacPherson

HB: Doedee McAsey Smith

C: Sholl M Crouch Jones

HF: Pedlar Himmelberg Lynch

FF: McAdam Walker Rowe

1R: ROB Laird Milera

INT: Sloane, Schoenberg, Keays, Worrell

Really unlucky for Hately & McHenry.
I'm locking McAsey in and leaving him there. He's a high end talent, let's let him play and let him find his way.


My biggest concern going in to the season is that if we keep playing Walker (Fogarty), Lynch (Davis/Worrell) & Sloane (Hately, McHenry, Berry etc) at the same time, we are actually limiting the development of the team. Yes you need some of them, but playing all of them is actually negligent I think.

His agility testing is quite good, but he doesn't display that on the footy field ....can be turned a bit too easy currently

Can't see Borlaise doing as well as Kelly TBH

Really ?? I see the opposite actually.

There will be week where we are brilliant and others where we get bashed by the more experienced sides in rubbish weather. We've got very little experience in the 2s..... And next to no KPDs.

Good team and really shows how hard it will be picking the side for R1. Looking forward to this weekends game to see if it was a flash in the pan for some players in the internal or if players like Walker really will play before Fogarty who has put in a mountain of work.

Hoping McHenry puts in another great game and takes that HFF spot.

I think its a battle between Hately and Keays atm. Both super fit, strong contested players. Will be an interesting to see if both are picked for this weeks 1sts side.

Would love Worrall to have another good game. Not sure he plays R1 but its up to him. Same goes for Pedlar who I think is fighting against Shoenberg for that FWD/MID/Bench spot.
