C.Ellis needs to do more.
Too early to come up with a team for round 1, but I will say 1 thing ,
Menadue will be playing , guaranteed

Personally I think Chaplin is a third tall.
He's a weak bodied defender who's too often beaten in the air by stronger opponents.
Running off his man is his go. He has done that well for us but he's no number 2 key back and he is in decline.
Rioli? I think his forward pressure with Edwards was a real highlight yesterday.
He can stick a tackle as well as anybody and had 4 yesterday and a heap of pressure acts too. Given his obsession with what Jake King brought, Hardwick will love that.
Couple that with his X Factor, ability to sniff a goal and dish them off I have no doubt whatsoever he will be in contention.

Chaplin probably hasn't done enough to earn a game but I think we need at least one other big defender. C.Ellis will be a gun but needs to get involved more than he has done so far. I would like to have another player who can pinch hit in the ruck other than Ty as I think he made some good progress in the last half of 2015 as a key forward. However Griff needs to get more involved and the coaches don't seem to want to give McBean a game.

I certainly like a number of ideas been thrown about in this thread but we should remember that Dimma is an arch conservatist so will make little change to last years team except for retirments or injury for the first game.
Griffiths and Vickery will both play round 1 barring injuries / concussion
Maric will need chop out by both in ruck
Interesting part is up back - do they go with Astbury - if they do - where does Chaplin play
Surely cannot have Rance, Astbury, Chaplin, Grimes, Bachelor all in the back half - lack of leg speed there

QUOTE: [Surely cannot have Rance, Astbury, Chaplin, Grimes, Bachelor all in the back half - lack of leg speed there].
Correct, but Rance and Grimes have speed; not the other three. This is why Broad might be needed; another option to run it out of the backline and deliver it.
Chaplin will still be needed down back because opposition will always have two strong-bodied talls at least e.g. Carlscum - if Rance takes Everett, who will take Casboult, not to mention others spending time forward such as Rowe or Kreuzer? Really rate Grimes, but Dimma gives him roles on mobile forwards usually.
Batchelor to miss in all likelihood and Astbury will be injury insurance.
