    That's not a great effort by Fox Footy.
    They've got just 6 defenders when we play 7 and if they think Williams is the 7th then we are a winger light on.

      Predicted Best 22 (including pre-season bolters prediction)
      Budarick - Lobb - Busslinger
      Dale - JOD - Freijah

      English - Bont - Richards
      Davidson - Libba - Williams

      Dolan - Naughton - Treloar
      Weightman - Darcy - West

      INT: Croft, Jaques, Sanders, Kennedy, A.Jones
      EMG: VDM, Baker, McNeil, Bramble

      Notes:
      - Freijah to return to the half back with stints in the midfield. Projects as an A+ inside mid in the future but we need some temporary class, dash and precise kicking off half back for 2026

      - Backing Jacques (def/wing) and Dolan(fwd) to have huge pre-seasons in their 2nd year. Both give us that youthful exuberance of speed and flair. Also backing Buss to become that intercepting 3rd tall type.

      - Liked our setup last year of Lobb to be 2nd ruck and to keep Darcy at full forward as long as possible

      - Arty Jones to finally have that breakout, injury free and consistent season (liked his end of season form at VFL and final game vs Freo as sub)

      - Needs for 2027 - Butters to replace libba/adsy and a Full back option (e.g. Butts) to take the big boys

        Welcome yoshi I don't mind the look for that team

        I'm wondering if Croft is a bit unlucky?

          Thanks mate.
          Haha looking back at other teams I realised I missed a few. Croft should be in

            Welcome to WOOF Yoshi. I hope you enjoy the site.
            In another month or so we should start getting some first hand accounts with the training reports and if you are into draft we have a few very enthusiastic members who keep us updated.

            By the way, what about Harmes?

              Thanks mate, would love to get access to those reports if possible. Pre-season hype is might be the best time of year (before we are eventually let down).

              I see Harmes as the high half fwd pinch hit mid type to which I prefer Kennedy and Sanders in that role. Expect to still see him in the fringes and will definitely play games next year as that solid foot soldier.

                The training reports are on the rewards board so if you make a contribution to discussions, and you are off to a very good start, you will get that access.

                  They might have Croft as a defender. I've been thinking that...
