We didn't make Finals in 2022.
In our last game for 2023 we had a few missing, (Hewett, Kennedy, Walsh, Cuningham, Boyd), and I guess a few players rushed back and not 100%.
We know the delistings thus far: Williamson, Newnes, Stocker, Hayes ... and we expect a few more. None of those were in my best 23 for 2023.
This is my Best 2023 before Trade season starts, and the Draft. From what I've seen in first week of Finals this team would given them all a run for their money.
B: Boyd Weitering Marchbank
HB: Saad Young Williams
R: Pittonet Hewett Walsh
C: Cerra Cripps Docherty
HF: Martin C.Curnow Kennedy
F: Motlop McKay DeKoning
I: McGovern Cottrell Fisher Durdin
E: Newman/ OBrien/ Cuningham/ Honey
McGovern 7th Defender
Cottrell rotate on wing
Fisher in because he can play midfield
Durdin rotate as a forward.
Durdin and Fisher are my weakest links, and hope Cuningham can take Fisher's spot and Honey takes Durdin's spot. One midget is plenty (Motlop).
If TDK doesn't show improvement over preseason and S.Durdin does, I would consider S. Durdin at CHB and Young in FP/ Ruck
I really hope we land a ready made wing. If that's Acres, bewdie.
I'd like to find a ready made Forward/Ruck because I have no faith in Mirkov to make it in the next year or two, and if someone like Meeks becomes available if Jackson goes to Freo....well and good.
Injuries hurt us last year. Injuries will happen again. Hopefully we've seen the worst
Depth: Durdin, Setterfield, Silvagni, Owies, Ed Curnow, Plowman, Dow, plus our emergencies Newman, OBrien, Cuningham and Honey

Fingers crossed Pittonet returns to the form he was in before injury, and better in 2023.
