Mine would be:
B: Grimes, Tarrant, Vlastuin
HB: Short, Balta, Broad
C: McIntosh, Martin, Edwards
HF: Lambert, Lynch, Bolton
F: Caddy, Riewoldt, Baker
Rucks: Nankervis, Cotchin, Prestia
Inter: Soldo, Rioli, Stack, Collier-Dawkins
Emerg: Graham, Ross, Pickett, Castagna
Depending on opposition, happy for Balta to be a swingman and Rioli would be rotated through the backline.

Nank Cotch
Prestia
Inter - Soldo, Baker, Broad, RCD
EMERG - George, Hugo , Caddy, Stack
Assuming - Graham and Lambert are not ready to go
Ross & RCD must be in round 1 team - we have to see what they to offer from the word go.
Balta has trained all pre season as a forward

This is the way it's shaping on what I've seen and read-
Grimes Tarrant Gibcus
Rioli Vlastuin Short
Kmac Cotchin Marlion
Baker Edwards Martin
Jack Lynch George
Nank Shai Prestia
Soldo Noah Broad (Graham) (Lambert)
Stack RCD Sonsie Brown Caddy Ross in the mix.
Dimma is certain to play two running backs IMO so Rioli and Short locked. If Gosh Jibcus misses (likely to play imo) we'll play smaller in defence with Grimes or Broad to play tall.
We'll play Kmac for sure. Marlion a bit less certain imo. Noah forward/ruck looks certain at this stage. Some chance Soldo does a month in the magoos. I'd play him if he's moving freely and confident. No doubt Nank was authorised to soften Soldo upon a little bit later in the intra club. To simulate actual match conditions. Soldo seemed to tire or lose confidence then. ACL may yet leave some doubts.
Baker is certain to start if Lambert doesn't come up as it stands. And likely anyway atm.
Marlion may be the one to go if Graham and Lambert are available.
I hope Rioli blossoms at HBF, that RCD is played HFF and that Sonsie comes on early. And that Sydders can bloom as a forward. Noah just has to run hard defensively and on the lead. And jump hard when rucking. He's not far off his role.
And it is imperative that we test our youth in the first half of the season. Early if possible. All of them that are close. Stack, RCD, Sonsie, Ralphsmith, Cumberland. Ross. We should be conservative with injuries to mature players. And test youth. This is a priority.
We do have some emerging and maturing youth. Miles better off than this time last year.

our fittest and inform best 22 plays round 1. There should be enough premiership medallions running around that allows the younger players inclusive of the recent draft group to possibly play round 1. Pick the team for the here and now and not on what has been done over the last 4-5 years.

Damned hard to work out where to put everyone, I'll leave it to the selectors.

I like RCD but during the SIM he tended to be looking elsewhere at times instead of ball watching. That habit will hamper him

Don't think our best team of last year would include Tarrantula. That was still the Ass Berries spot.
