    FB: COFF, LJIZZ, BUKU
    HB: ED, JOD, DALE
    C: TRUCK, LIBBA, HARMES
    HF: FLEA, NAUGHTY, ADZ
    FF: WEST, JUH, LOBB
    R: CHILLI, BONT, SANDERS

    INT: DARCY, MACRAE, CD, JJ
    SUB: ARTY

    Was really tough towards the end of the list. Would love to squeeze Chook in there somewhere. Unsure of Darcy in the 22 but he just has to play. If the talls aren't working you can bring on Arty. Who knows.

      What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

          Right. Thanks.

          Should I know that? Why is he called Chook??

          My uncle Brian gets called Chook (still) because when he was about 3yo (he's in his 70's now but still lecturing in Pneumatics at TAFE) he was in his birthday suit in the back yard and one of the chickens attached itself where it probably caused maximum pain.

          Is it a story like that? I could get behind something like that!

            Have Macrae as Sub due to limited preseason. Darcy and Lobb will be intense sting this year. I cannot split them but feel Lobb will be given round 1

              Coffield - Jones - Richards
              JJ - Khamis - Dale
              Williams - Treloar - Sanders
              Weightman - Lobb - Harmes
              JUH - Naughton - West
              English - Bont - Libba

              IC: Daniel, Macrae, Bramble, ?

              Undecided on the last spot although I suspect McNeil or Vandermeer could get a nod given we need pressure (but I don't like either if I'm honest). I don't think we can take all of Dale, JOD and Macrae into R1 given their varying limited prep over the last few weeks.

              I really want to play Darcy. Perhaps we can justify selecting him given he can play all over the ground. Sub to be somebody like Arty with the idea of subbing a tall if required.

                Agree with the team. Add Dureya or Baker or poulter over VDM or McNeil. JOD the sub

                  Re: Best/Starting 23, Round 1 2024

                  This is the team I think Bevo will pick:

                  Coffield Jones Bramble
                  Richards Khamis JJ
                  Williams Libba Gallagher
                  Harmes Naughton West
                  Weightman Marra Darcy
                  English Bont Treloar

                  Sanders McNeill, Daniel, VDM
                  Sub: Scott

                  Dale, Macrae, JOD have all been injured. If we are taking in our 'most prepared' team then they can't be in it, imo.

                  I would seriously consider Darcy in for Lobb - he just looks primed after the pre season. But I suspect Lobb is doing a lot to release Naughton and Marra, which Darcy might not be able to do.

                  I wasn't convinced by Gallagher on the wing, and thought Bramble played a good offensive game when really we needed a defensive game. Not sure that the alternatives (Poulter/Baker, Duryea) offer more though. Not really sure who plays on Pickett or Fritsch, but I'm looking forward to Buku towelling up Schache.
