What do you think?

[MarkT]

Looks like a prertty standard 2001 side.
I would swap Richo and Wakelin.
I would include Johnson, Scottland and Adkins for Freeborne, Steinfort and Lane. That would probably force Lockyer or Molloy down back depending on matchups.

Eventually I would hope that Cloke and Didak would force their way into the side at the expense of Wakelin and one of the running players which would depend more on form than anything else.

I agree with MarkT - it's too much 2001. And your backline is too small. And while that team will be better than 2001, we need to blood the young guys from reserves, and give guys like Johnson more seniors time than last year.

I would swap richo for wakelin - richo is still good!! still good I tell you!!!

and you know my thoughts about the forward line - rocca at CHF, tarrant at FF (Leon should get a few more senior games too).

Basically I would want to be bringing in for regular seniors games
Leon Davis
Ben Johnson
Damien Adkins
Ben Kinnear
Alan Didak
Jason Cloak

Wasly, Roach, Scotland Shaw if they're ever going to make it. It's a make or break year for them.

I think you'll have to bench or drop guys like Steinfort, Freeborn, Lane, Holland, Clement (unfortunately - good good player) Wakelin, Dimatina etc. because they're not part of the long term future of the club. I would go young this year and give the guys a run, but clement and holland on the bench means you can through an experienced player at any position on the ground if you need it.

Johnson on the wing would be terrific - rintoul on the other gives us some strength and experience, and OBree in the middle - swap him with Buckley or Licuria it's all the same - we've got a ripper midfield/on ball group. Add that to teh forward ine and we're looking sweet - and young - just hope the backs can withstand the year.
