    Or is it just pick the best available and give others a taste next year?

    It's the obvious thing to do but he's too proud to ask me to do it.

    DO NOT START THAT THREAD

    Ed Richards has many stans and we’re not all well balanced individuals.

    Re: Your Best 22 for Finals

    Updated: Assumption of needing three KPD’s, one who also is the Second Ruck

    B: Duryea Gardner Schache (2nd Ruck)
    HB: Dale Keath Williams
    C: Hunter Dunkley Richards
    HF: Treloar Bontempelli Weightman
    F: Jamarra Naughton Vandermeer
    R: English Macrae Liberatore
    Int: Wood (Def) B. Smith (Mid) Daniel (Mid) Garcia or Hannan (For)
    Sub: Garcia or Hannan
    Emerg: JJ R. Smith Scott Cordy
    Depth: McNeil Lipinski Young West Wallis

    Unavailable: Martin (Most Likely), Bruce (ACL), McLean (ACL), Jong (Ret.)

    Notes:

    - Bontempelli replaces Bruce. Other mids should win enough of the ball. Bonts leads well, has good height and size, but is a great snapper too. Would need to work on his set shots. We need to replace 2.5 goals a game from Bruce. Bonts can do that.
    - English the main ruck. Sweet not ready for a final & Martin’s body is shot unfortunately. Bruce no longer able to provide a chop out. Young unlikely to be selected. So Schache is that second ruck, coming from being #3 KPD.
    - I’m thinking speed and natural forward instincts is the mix. I’ve got speed covered, but also three over 193cm+ as targets plus Weightman’s aerial ability.

    Re: Your Best 22 for Finals

    B: Doc, Gardner, Wood
    HB: Dale, Keath, Williams
    C: Hunter, Bont, Caleb
    HF: Treloar, English, VDM
    F: Dunks, Naughts, Cody
    R: Stef, Macrae, Libba
    Int: Baz, Richards, Marra, Hannan
    Sub: JJ
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    - Lewy in for Stef if he doesn't come up
    - Schache in for any of the tall defenders if they aren't right
    - Scott, Roarke and Garcia there as back ups
    - Unsure of the balance with Ed. He has to play off HBF for mine. Not sure how we play Caleb.
    - Dunks, Adz to rotate with others forward

    Re: Your Best 22 for Finals

    I don’t get it. Everyone wants Hannan as our saviour.

    6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 9 represents his possessions in half of his games this year. Rarely gets the ball. Fumbles a lot.

    1 in 5 of his possessions are listed as clangers. I must have missed his good stuff.

    Who has said anything remotely close to him being our 'saviour'?

    Legit question, not a statement. I haven't read all the comments etc.

    I mean, I guess its technically true that I want Hannan to be the saviour?
