Rookies - Roarke Smith, Ryan Gardner and Buku Khamis
Senior list - Lin Jong, Tory Dickson, Jackson Trengove, Fergus Greene, Bradley Lynch, Callum Porter, Matthew Suckling, Riley Garcia and Billy Gowers

I know this is going to sound harsh but I kept looking to Tom Liberatore and Easton Wood because I think Suckling offers more for us in 2021. Ben Cavarra and Will Hayes were also under consideration. I'd prefer to keep Trengove but I wonder if he is genuinely in the selection mix with us.

I need to see how that list looks after the above culling
I've had a rethink on the players I have selected and despite having too many half back flankers it would require cutting either Butler or Vandermeer to better balance the list and I suspect we will endeavor to remodel them into midfielders.
I have also placed the players where our WB website credits them ie Wallis as a mid not a forward

Tall Defenders: Lewis Young Trengove* Cordy and Keath
General Defenders: Crozier, Wood, Duryea, Butler, Vandermeer, Williams, Daniel, Johannisen and Lachie Young

Midfield: Wallis, Bontempelli, Dunkley, B.Smith, Hunter, Macrae, Richards, Liberatore, Lipinski and Hayes
Ruck man: Sweet and English

Tall Forwards: Schache, Bruce and Naughton
General Forwards: West, McLean, Weightman, Lloyd and Dale

I have dropped off Cavarra for Trengove from the original nominations as we would still be too light on for rucks and key defender coverage.
I suspect Wallis will be asked to play as a forward. Richards will spend time there as well and perhaps Williams so despite cutting into the general forwards we can cover them

Some tough decision were made and a few very good prospects have been let go.

Could we look at moving the likes of Duryea into a forward position?
