I have moved some stated positions around to make comparisons a little easier.

Docherty, Marchbank, Simmo ---------------Rowe, Marchbank, Mullett ---------------(Docherty, Rowe, Simpson)

I/C E Curnow, Fisher,, Setterfield, Walsh -Simpson, Kerridge, Silvagni, De Koning -(Everitt, Phillips, ECurnow, White)
EMG: Plowman, Polson, Lang, Garlett, ---Shaw, Macreadie, Pickett, O’Shea --------(C. Curnow, C. Smith, M. Whiley)
Jack Newman? Macreadie?
Cas? Pickett? Bugg? Stocker?
Kerr? TDK? Cunningham? Shu
(hard to pick!!)
Biggest difference is the depth - listing the emergencies far harder these days!
Great stuff Arnhem Blue.
No matter which way you go with your first 18, we now have players (in brackets) in waiting to provide cover for injury.
I doubt we will experience the diabolical injury list we had last year which decimated us, and that can only mean pressure for spots.
SOS 66 game plan has given us this. He's a genius.
Some of those in brackets make up interchange or I know for some posters some in brackets should be in the first 18.
Docherty (Cuningham) Macreadie (Jones) Marchbank (Plowman)
Williamson (Garlett) Weitering (Goddard) Newman (Schumaker)
Kruezer (Phillips) Kennedy (Curnow) Dow (Walsh)
Pickett (SPS) Cripps (Setterfield) O'Brien (Simpson)
Murphy (Stocker) Charlie (Kerr) Fisher (Lang)
McGovern (J.Silvagni) McKay (TDK) Fasolo (Bugg)
(Polson) (Le Bois) (Thomas)
(Lobbe) (Casboult) (B.Silvagni)
(ODwyer) (Owens)
(We have a spare pick for PSD or Mid season Draft: NB players Fisher or Blakey?)
Yeah I know Polson has shown signs of improvement and Stocker is a newby, but I expect Stocker and Walsh to play senior footy in 2019, and imo are already ahead of Polson. both of them. Point of exercise is to show genuine depth for cover.
