Not Bad, the only change would be Morris for Williams but that's not a knock on Williams but Moz would be a start up unless form or health dictates otherwise.

That is a freaking young team.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I'm not sure what position Williams will play next season but I think he is now clearly in the best 18 based on his form this season.
It all depends on how hard he is prepared to work though because he is one of those players who could drop off substantially if he doesn't do the work or isn't fully focused.

I think Bailey Dale has the potential to take Lippa's spot pretty quickly. Hope he has a big preseason because what we saw from Dale in 17 was very promising.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
Would be great to include a Wingard. A Picken, Dickson and Lloyd as well as Lynch will be fighting for a forward role.

I'd have him in the midfield rotations - he was borderline elite as a defender (check his metres gained stats) but he was impressive as a mid in the latter part of the season.
Daniel is just as interesting - he was excellent behind the ball late in the season but is that the long term plan?

Equally bullish on Williams, his best is invaluable, but fingers crossed his development doesn't mimic the trajectory of the other Bailey.
BORDERLINE FLYING
For mine, Daniel does to the bench replaced by Crozier. Wallis goes to the bench replaced by Dunkley and Lynch or Greene replace Lipinski at this stage. Bailey Dale doesn't get a look in until he shows a lot more. I also think we still need to recruit another back up ruckman or retain Roughead in that role.
