I don’t know how you could leave Stack out of your starting 22.
One of the only positives from 2021.

I know but when we have Broad and Balta to come back into the backline i had to leave someone out

After I squeezed Tarranto, Hopper and Pick's 8 and 13 in,

I had too many very good players in the 2's, and gave up.

The 2022 premiership is ours to lose

He's not in my starting 22. His lack of pace is the concern

 

[BluesBloke]

Looking forward to a packed house after the Blues were screwed out of what should have been their home game this season.

Big occasion to farewell Betts, Murphy et al properly in front of the fans, all before another pre-season of gigantic promise, the media jerking us off and big-noting from the players comes crashing down again.

 

[Tenacious]

No idea what the first side will be - but I’d like think there two spots in the starting 22 that are players not currently on our list.
Maybe a first round pick that’s stood out in pre-season and perhaps somebody we brought in from another club. Dunno
Just reckon we need constant renewal now that we’re (officially) back into the class of the hunters rather than the hunted.

 

[achillesjones]

More marking power. Recruit for this.

How will some of these teams go against a tall and fast centre and forward line.

Careful or we will start to look like Munchkinland!

As much as we all loathe the Stand rule, it favours a fast strong marking team and we have to adapt.

 

[UKTiger]

Whatever else we need a gorilla (Miller) to replace Astbury but for the rest, many places will be up for grabs which will also depends on what happens at the trade table and draft

 

[22nd Man]

Out has to be every player we recruited specifically for our pre-stand rule game style and who are unable to adapt to the here to stay stand rule style.

 

[lamb22]

Are there any games on this week?

Anyway I'd be happy with this team rolling out Rd 1


Broad Grimes (c) Tarrant
Stacky Flossy (vc) Rioli
Short Prestia Baker (the Munchkin Centre line)
Riewoldt Balta Bolton
MRJ Lynch Cotchin

Nank Martin Graham (dvc)

Int Shed Lambert Pickett Soldo

Plus 4 picks under 30 and hopefully some other trades to add to the mix.

 

[St Kevin]

Everyone fully fit (humour me) and assuming Tarrant comes, I think we have 20 blokes who on form and talent are basically locked in:

FB: Broad, Tarrant, Grimes
HB: Vlastuin, Balta, Short
C: Baker, Cotchin, Lambert
HF: Stack, Lynch, Bolton
FF: Martin, Riewoldt, Edwards
R: Nankervis, Prestia, Graham

IC: Soldo, Rioli, ?, ?

The last two spots go to best performed draft picks/youngsters. We'd be wanting RCD and Dow to take another step.

No way Balta is playing anywhere but CHB.
