Re: Round 1 Team, 2017.
The scariest thing about your team? The players that didn't make your starting 18.
That's some serious talent sitting on the pine and if we're fit and ready to go we'll have some massive selection headaches.

And guys doing well at VFL who've shown a bit like Dale, Roarke, Williams etc. - And we may trade in and grab a free agent.
Match Committee is going to be a seriously tough job.

Re: Round 1 Team, 2017.
Expect Williams to entrench himself in the best 25, if not best 22 by the end of the year.
Kid has all the tools required.
Also, you have to put JJ in the starting 18. I have him in our top 3-5 most important players.

It's a nearly impossible task. Have a crack and weigh up your bench. Picken was outstanding in starting us up last week and he's on my bench. Daniel should've won the Rising Star and he's there too. I haven't even factored in uncontracted players into the team. We just have a very good list and nailing down 22 is going to be tough.

B: Biggs Morris M. Boyd
HB: JJ Adams Wood
C: Hunter Bonti Macrae
HF: Crameri Cloke Stringer
F: Dickson T. Boyd Smith
R: Roughy Libba Dahl
Int: Daniel Picken JJ Suckling
Em: Campbell Dunkley Mclean
Assuming Bobby isn't right to go and Hamling is traded.
Tough gig, have gone shorter in the backline to put more run there as it is a real competitive advantage of ours.
Wish there was room for Williams on the pine, rate him really highly.

I could get used to not one but two JJs in the side.

Dammit!
Going to be hard to split McLean and Dunkley for the spot - replace JJ with Motlop is the gut feel.

Re: Round 1 Team, 2017.
Can we field 2 teams next year?
It's going to be tough fitting 30-35 into 22.

I wonder how many players on the list are thinking the same, and perhaps looking to trade out to get a regular game elsewhere?

Re: Round 1 Team, 2017.
B: Johannisen - Morris - M Boyd
HB: Murphy - Adams - Wood
C: Macrae - Libba - Hunter
HF: Stringer - Cloke - Picken
F: Dickson - Boyd - Smith
R: Roughy - Bonti - Dahlhaus
INT: Roberts, Crameri, Daniel, Biggs
EME: Dunkley, Suckling, McLean
Cordy is a better player than Roberts, but as a defender I think Roberts has the runs on the board at this stage.
