I think this is what it looks like in correct positions:
B: Mark Baguley, Michael Hartley, Patrick Ambrose
HB: Martin Gleeson, Michael Hurley, Andrew McGrath
C: David Zaharakis, Dyson Heppell, Travis Colyer
HF: Kyle Langford, Cale Hooker, Orazio Fantasia
F: Josh Green, Joe Daniher, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti
R: Shaun McKernan, Jobe Watson, Zach Merrett
I: Darcy Parish, Brent Stanton, Brendon Goddard, James Kelly
Interesting to see who really gives the ruck chop out. I assume JD

Nah, dog.
Maybe if its Vickery relief rucking then Ambrose can go in and (assuming Ambrose was on Gunston) then whoever was on Vickery slides over to Gunston.

Where they aiming for a blitz meltdown naming Ambo in the ruck? lol
We have certainly gone for speed. Biggest surprise for me is Stewart, I would have liked him in the team for a bit more ruck flexibility. Looks like big JD is going to have to share the load.

Have good depth (except ruck) if we leave out Brown, Dea, Fridge, Stewart.
Don’t remember the last time we had promising small forwards like this.
McKernan

He’s listed on the ball, I guess Tippa or Gleeson if he’s forward?
Tippa!!!, what a match up. But honestly he is a farking knightmare to match up on for any team. I have no idea.

pretty good team. Would of liked Dea in the team and bit more grunt with one of Howlett, Bird or Hocking. But all in all a pretty good team on paper.
Come on boys lets smash these dirtbags
Interesting battle of the forward lines - They’ve gone super tall and we’ve gone super small.
