I personally don't want to see Finlayson playing as a wingman.

Our wings were pretty weak last year. With the added big defenders, and our multitudes of half backs, I’m playing Houston, Bergman and Finlayson (utility) as the outside wingers. The creativity this will provide will allow us to go down the middle, but also down the wings this year too.
This means Ollie and Drew can’t be posted on the wing permanently, and would require JHF, Rozee, Butters and even Wines/Drew to cover a forward spot.
Which means No to Jed.
If the game plan for our wings is to run fast into space and not get the ball the DBJ seems the perfect choice.If we’re picking 3 talls down back, and history says we’re going to go with traded in players at least first up, then I can see them favouring running ball users in the backline to help with the run.
For that reason I think Farrell is going to be the sixth pick to start in the backline over a guy like jones or Williams.
Yeah those guys offer more aerially but reckon with 3 talls we will favour the kicking and speed of Farrell. Burton had a tough year while being moved around. We still love his versatility to defend , he’s our best choice to stand small and medium forwards. He’s still going to be first picked next year unless form demands otherwise.

We play our key defenders in zones. Will be interesting to see how we change but most of not all teams play theirs in zones and put their defenders where they can play their best football rather than have them following a forward around. When a forward goes deep the fb picks them up and when that forward goes up the ground there’s a handover
I think we will play zerk as the deeper defender, in the role we’ve played clurey and McKenzie. We prefer Alir up in the action more, and don’t think we want esava on the last line. Alir and esava basically playing that hot spot of 30m to 80m out from goal looking to attack those opposition forward entries.
Bergman was awesome in defence last year, and if we were not playing 3 big tall defenders I would think he would be a chance to stay there. Likely with us needing a wing and the depth of half back options we initially try him on a wing.
Likely that jones , Williams and sinn all are in half back considerations and we pick one of those guys on the bench.
Midfield
Weve got butters and rozee as our starting midfield probably between wines, drew and jhf as well. Boak depending on form.
For the wings I think Bergman will be tried there again. Boak is a choice there. We will move butters out there at stages in games.
I think Dbj is a real chance to play there. He’s been pushed out of the forward line, I think he’s got the gut running two way running going, but poor ball use. In the end our forward entries are s**t almost by design anyway so i don’t think he makes them much worse by being there and we sacrifice the wing position anyway.
We will likely look at sinn, Jackson and Burgoyne in preseason / throughout the year as well.

Todd first picked, I think we shuffled between lord and Dixon depending on Dixon’s fitness. Georgiades will be building in the sanfl for a while. Ideally I like
Todd chf
Lord and Mitch deep.
But until all are fit it maybe different. It’s really going to be up in the air on a week by week basis which talls join Todd until all are fit.
I see Rioli spp and Charleston as our small forwards.

But there’s a few players really pushing for those spots.
DBJ's output isn't fantastic but it's adequate for a pressure small forward, no less than someone like a Beau McCreery. Jed McEntee is just some spud with compromising pictures of the coaches who we call a 'pressure forward' to cover for the fact that he doesn't offer anything offensively but belies the fact that he doesn't actually put on that much pressure either.Two of Hinkley’s favourites are DBJ and McEntee. I’m hoping like hell he doesn’t play both in the forward line next season. Knowing Hinkley though, the best I can hope for is that only one gets selected. The clear choice for me is DBJ.
