9 players for each of Defence, mid and forward which accounts for those on the bench, and natural rotation from injury.
Defence:
Young, Balta, Broad, Grimes
D.Rioli, Brown, Vlastuin, Baker, Short
Mid:
Nankervis, Prestia, Taranto, Hopper,
Bolton, McIntosh, Banks, Ross, Clarke
Forward:
Lynch, Kozi, Ryan
Cumberland, Martin, Campbell, M.Rioli, Graham, Pickett
Special mention to:
Smith who showed a lot pre-season before injury
Sonsi who i hope kicks this pre-season and becomes a regular as we need his class.
Dow who i hope continues on with his late season form which would warrant selection
Miller who just needs to improve his body work. He is mobile and his ruckwork in 2022 was quite good, particularly as he's conceding height to most opponents
Tresize who is a baby in terms of game time at any level, is a competitor and should be right still be improving
Coultard as we need his toe
Gibcus for obvious reasons, just hope this hammy isn't a permanent issue in his career
Bauer who i'd prefer to see as a high half forward woh can float in and mark, rather than get moved off theball by larger opponents - sort of a down the line type player.
With the special mentions, i've pretty much covered the whole list, sort of like covering all the numbers in the Sweep Stakes, how can i go wrong!!
