FB: Brown - Talia - Doedee
HB: Laird - Hartigan - Smith (Milera)
C: Seedsman - Sloane - Gibbs (Atkins Knights)
HF: Gallucci - Walker - Lynch (Greenwood)
FF: Betts - Jenkins - Stengle
R: Jacobs - BCrouch - MCrouch
I: Milera - Greenwood - Atkins - Knight

E: Fogarty - O'Brien - Kelly - McAdam

Defence: Hartigan in over Keath due to experience, but it's up for grabs to the best player. They are both similar in my mind, Keath a little more attacking. Milera rotating through defence with Smith

Midfield: Gibbs on the wing with a first-class midfield - rAtkins rotating off the bench with Knights tagging

Forward: Stengle straight in over Murphy, the need for speed requires AFC debut alongside Betts, Greenwood rotating through

Gallucci over Douglas, Douglas a depth and SANFL player

Emergency: Fogarty waiting for his chance to get more games, O'Brien ready to go, Kelly emergency and depth until McPherson gets some games and form and McAdam on the cusp of a forward spot probably for a rested/ dropped Gallucci (should he not continue to improve rapidly).

Kelly a good depth player should injury occur to Doedee or Brown

MacKay unlucky to miss out given his (inevitably) good pre-season and all-round team attitude, but a depth player now.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Murphy is quicker than Stengle

Murphy could do with a rocket up him. He can be a hell of a player. I really want him to succeed. But he isn’t good enough for us to wait for him to come along. Needs to grab that R1 spot over pre-season and hang onto it for dear life. If we are at full fitness next year and he isn’t in the team in R1 I fear we may never see him ever again.

That seems overly harsh. Just a solid preseason is all he really needs, impressed when he played this year

Emg from ROB, Hartigan, Fog,Murphy and Polkie

I would love to squeeze Fog in somewhere however with JJ and Tex up forward its hard to find a spot for him

Draftees not included.
With Seedsman Smith Laird Milera Gibbs all able to rotate through Defense if needed gives us flexibility.
Atkins and Mackay I have left out as they are world beaters in big wins but fail against tough opposition. I have Keath ahead of Hartigan due to better leg speed and better by foot. Fogarty will get plenty of games I'm sure and I hope he starts training with the midfield group as he has that ferocious attack that I would see him dominating stoppages. We need as much versatility as possible and start dropping players after bad games. Players need to know they must play 100% for the team Pyke needs to stop the free rides some players seem to get.

All these teams look weaker than 2017 to me :(

The forward line in particular lacks the sex.

Milera to the midfield shaping as the highlight

There are probably around 19 players who are given to be picked if fit, so just competition for the last few spots.

The forward line is where there are the most spots up for grabs & we have traded in a couple of players to add to the competition.

Whilst I know it's not an ACL, I wouldnt be so confident of Brad Crouch lining up in R1. Weve taken the conservative approach with him in the past, I see no reason why we wouldn't do so again.

Not sure if Brouch has ever played in round 1...
 
We have a lot of quality players through the back 6 and I think this year we may start too see those players bleed out too other parts of the ground.

Would love to see;
1) Brown go forward and experiment as a lock down forward on some of the games best rebound defenders (Good luck rebounding with the Brown Glove wrapped around you)
2) Smith and Milera Rotate HBF/Wing roles
3) Laird get minutes through the midfield

I know all these guys are at home in the back six, and not suggesting we take them all out at once, but I would love to see the magnets thrown around this season to see if we can spread their talents to other parts of the ground. Let guys like Doedee, Kelly, Talia, Keath, McPherson, and Cheney (if still here) hold down the defensive fort.
 
What was our forward line doing last year?
I guess you could consider it 'scoring' but don't think it would win you many games.
Last year or last season?

2017 it was rolled gold.
2018 it was poop rolled in goat hair
