This isn't my r1 team prediction.

But just a thought on Milera to the midfield. I cant help but wonder if he can transition to midfield in the ilk of Shaun Burgoyne.

B: Doedee, Talia, Brown
HB: Laird, Keath, Smith
C: Seedsman, M. Crouch, Gibbs
HF: Lynch, Walker, Sloane
F: Betts, Jenkins, McAdam
R: Jacobs, B. Crouch, Milera
IC: Greenwood, Gallucci, Knight, Fogarty

This 22 deliberately has plenty of guys that can rotate through the midfield, both on the ball and on the wings. I think this allows Fogarty into the 22 as the overall speed of the team is good. Plenty of guys that can also spend quality minutes providing run off the half backline with Milera/Gibbs/Sloane/Seedsman.
 
My Round 1 team, with the following caveats;
1. Only using players currently on our list (no draft picks)
2. All players fully fit and ready for round 1

B: Brown Talia Laird
HB: Doedee Keath Smith
C: Milera B Crouch Seedsman
HF: Lynch Walker Gibbs
FF: Betts Jenkins Gallucci

1R: Jacobs M Crouch Sloane

INT: Greenwood Knight Atkins Fogarty

EM: Douglas Hartigan Kelly ROB
 
No injuries - this is the 2019 Crows.

Sloane ain’t playing wing, Atkins will be.
Sloane would be centre.
Gibbs replaces Douglas in the forward line, pushing Douglas to the bench.
With a full strength side Mackay would be replaced with Knight. With a fit Smith, Atkins, Milera and Seedsman, what role would Mackay play?

Cheney wasnt re-singed and Knight plays in front of Mackay in a full strength team

Nailed it
 
Will be telling if Douglas and Mackay are available and neither get picked.
Hopefully this is the year we move on from both. I suspect it will boil down to the rise of Gallucci. If he can demand selection we may be in luck.

Either that or he will be in a back pocket to accommodate Richard, while Brodie Smith will come back as a key forward to accommodate David.

Who is the 7th defender?

Who is the 7th defender?
Essentially you have Atkins who comes in to a wing rotation with Milera, Seedsman & Smith. When Atkins is on he plays wing only - Milera or Seedsman can switch to HB. When Smith is on he's always HB. You then have Knight who also rotates through small forward and wing.

I would look to push Gibbs/Gooch/Knight/Atkins to a wing spot and try to free up Milera across half back if possible. You want the ball in his hands as much as possible.
 
Sloane ain’t playing wing, Atkins will be.
Sloane would be centre.

This is not netball.

Gibbs replaces Douglas in the forward line, pushing Douglas to the bench.

It doesn't matter where they line up. It

With a full strength side Mackay would be replaced with Knight. With a fit Smith, Atkins, Milera and Seedsman, what role would Mackay play?

Prolly some version of the role he has played for the past 202 games.
 
So Rankine unlikely..

Brown Talia Doedee
Laird Hartigan/Keath Smith
Sloane Gibbs Seedsman
Jacobs Crouch Crouch
Lynch Walker Galluci
Betts Jenkins Fogarty
Greenwood Milera Atkins
Douglas

Depth:
Knight, Kelly, Mackay, Otten, CEY, McAdam, Wilson, Himmelburg, Poholke, Murphy

Others:
McPherson, Davis, Obrien, Stengle

Who knows Picks 8, 13, 16 and 21 might be pushing for a spot.

Cheney will be rookied (IMO).

Why is Knight ahead of Mackay?

Because someone like Mackay at his age is depth. You said Full strength and MAckay does not make it if everyone is fit. Problem is we never have everyone fit. Yes I agree Cheney wil be rookied but I thought you meant right at this moment. I also think Hunter will be re-rookied.

Forgotten Murphy in the team and McPherson, Davis, Stengle and Rob in depth

Please roundhouse kick yourself. Preferably in the nose.

Knight is our best defensive small, whereas Mackay is nothing short of useless, and has been 150+ games.

It’s football and Sloane doesn’t play on the wing, he starts in the middle.

Mackay in the last 2 years hasn’t had all those players fit to contend with. Assuming they are all fit he doesn’t replace any of them, so what’s his role? Not a smartarse answer, a serious one please.
 
Round 1
Brown Talia Doedee
Laird Keath Milera
Gibbs Sloane Smith
Lynch Jenkins Knight
Betts Walker Gallucci


O'brien MCrouch Greenwood

BCrouch Seedsman Fogarty/Himmelberg/McAdam Drafted player? Hopefully a Rozee/Caldwell/CollierDawkins

Draft:

Pick 8 Connor Rozee/Jye Caldwell/BKing
Pick 13: Riley Collier-Dawkins/Jordan Clark/Zac Butters
Pick 16: Sam Sturt/Jackson Hately/Liam Stocker/Curtis Taylor
Pick 21: Jez McLennan/Jackson Hately/Bailey Williams/Ely Smith/Luke Valente
