My turn…

B: Williams Young McGovern
HB: Saad Weitering Docherty
C: Fisher Cripps Cottrell
HF: Walsh McKay Silvagni
F: Owies C.Curnow C.Durdin

R: Pittonet Hewitt Cerra

Inter: Kennedy, Newman, Setterfield, TDK
Sub: Martin

Williams and/or Newman could be changed to Plowman, Boyd or Stocker and I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. A fit & firing Marchbank would trump them all, but he has had so little footy over the last 3 years that I can’t justify selecting him ahead of the others at this point. If he gets some continuity in the last month of the season, I reserve the right to change my mind!

My team’s pretty similar to Cecil’s, but I’ve gone with Setterfield ahead of Martin in the 22 for the extra wing rotation. That spot is still very much up for grabs IMO, but I’ll go with Setterfield ahead of LOB, Hayes & Newnes for now.

Another change I’d seriously consider to the above team is Martin into the 22 for Silvagni (or possibly TDK), if we’re worried about being a little too tall.

Motlop & Honey show promise, but I can’t select them ahead of Owies & C.Durdin who had a good thing going before Owies got injured. A fit Cunningham would be well and truly in the mix here but, like Marchbank, I can’t justify putting him in my best team at the moment.

Around the mark. My issue is how much is potential and how much is form? For us to be a top 4 side next year the improvement needs to come from names like Boyd, Owies, Dow, O'Brien, Honey, Durdin etc. A fit McDonald makes a big difference

I have high hopes for Carroll Kemp Mirkov Motlop to become genuine top end players

I'm hoping next year our 22 looks very different. Some players may even be tried in different roles.

I look at players like Atkins at the Cats, Baker, Rioli at Tigers, Himmelberg at GWS, Blakey at Swans as examples of okay players that have gone to a new level in new roles.

A fit McDonald makes a big difference? Really? Doesn’t get near our best 22 if we have everyone fit IMO

I feel like I’m missing a wing rotation, with Martin perhaps the most vulnerable in the 22.
