we’ll see. Smith pulled his head in in the final third of the year and played some good footy. perkins fell away badly. Hoping of course for a big preseason out of perkins. If he can stay involved in games more and clean up his ball use he’s going to be pushing very very hard for selection.
B: Kelly Laverde Stewart
HB: Heppell Ridley Hind
C: Langford Parish Cox
HF: Shiel Jones Snelling
F: TIPPA Baldwin Wright
R: Draper Stringer Merrett
B: McGrath Caldwell Smith Redman
Sub: Guelfi (or Cutler)
Perkins playing full time inside mid in 2’s. No point him being sub, and he’s not a pressure fwd. First cab off the rank mid as required. I doubt we will hit round 1 with best 22 all available anyway so there is going to be the opportunities for Arch & others
Think Stringer will play more forward next year with Caldwell back.
He is a very good inside winning midfielder who will get bigger and better next year.
Stringer will of course rotate through the middle but more so his presence up forward is where he will benefit the team most.
Wright and Jones bringing ball to ground he will be there to collect the loose ball along with Smith and Tippa and small forwards.
Hoping Waterman improves next year with his fitness base also, could be a handy forward for us. Perkins will play more forward next year aswell which I’m excited to see.
He will still go into the middle next year for sure but feel it will be more of a balance between forward and midfield. Kicking 50 plus goals would benefit the team more
