      Put Daniel into that HB role and free up a spot for Garcia to play a outside mid/forward role? The experience to Garcia would be immense and benefit us long term.

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

          Do we want to win a flag or cut our nose to spite our face?
          But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

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

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

                  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

                      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?
