    Of course he is - because he can play as a mid. Dunkley and Maclean are there as mid rotations, but aside from that - with Dahl gone - it really is Lipinski or bust. Unless we think Wallis can do it and his best footy was played as a forward (and it wasn't even close).

    Another mid option really needs to be in that side - a bench with Suckling, Crozier and Trengove (and all are valuable players) is not going to do it. Suckers and Crozier are both going to be back rotators...so...then what?

    Heaps of talent. Young, developing squad. But too many ill-defined roles which makes performing with consistency hard.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

    Happy to see Greene in our 22 as another forward option. Still to be convinced that Tom Boyd and Suckling are in our best line up as suggested by Matthew Lloyd. Would like to see us secure May as a key defender. This could release Cordy to play at CHF where his competitive spirit would enable us to keep the ball in attack. Crozier is a shoe in at half back. Bailey Williams would be a great addition to Bont Libba and Dunkley in the midfield. Agree on Roughead and hope he is retained.

    He'll bounce back he has ability.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    I still think Williams is on the bench as part of the midfield / forward rotations. Lippi I like but probably comes out for Lloyd otherwise what's the point of trading for a guy in his late 20s? Suckling can take the second wing rotation - release his left boot when Hunter/Richards rest. Crozier is a lock as a starting defender and his intercept work is vital if we're only playing two genuine defensive talls plus an undersized Wood.

    I can't find room for Duryea and hopes he proves me wrong but where does he fit? We traded because he's a 'decent' player not because he fits a need.

    I think Williams deserves to start but he could be that jack of all trades type of player coming off the bench.
    Tend to agree about Crozier he played some good football for us

    Pretty good effort.

    A couple of things, assuming Picken and Dickson are fit surely Lloyd doesn't play in front of either? I'd think Duryea and Suckling are competing for the same spot, especially if we keep playing Daniel behind the ball. Can we play both English and Trengove if we're determined to ruck Boyd as much as possible? Trengove was pretty decent in the ruck but pretty ordinary forward and back, I'm not sure he plays if he's not rucking.

    I'd hope that both Picken and Dickson are fit for round one and yes they would probably be the preferred options
    Suckling was so good last year until injured he should be ahead of Duryea.
    I'm not too concerned with Trengove because I think we can find a spot for him. Basically we need his experience and leadership

    Re: Round 1, 2019 Team

    Where it becomes most interesting is our non-elite mids and who steps up to own the position:

    Dunkley
    McLean
    Wallis
    Williams
    Richards
    Jong
    Lipinski

    I classify Daniel as a defender now (in the Boyd/Sam Mitchell sense) and Hunter is the topic for a whole other thread and whether he can become what Sidebottom is to the Pies.

    Of those 7, I am most bullish about Dunkley and hope he can have a breakout year - we saw massive improvement in the second half of this year - and hope he can become our Luke Parker circa 2014.
