    You're right! Jack would have to start in the Centre,Mc Veigh to the forward line and Parker very reluctantly out to the interchange dropping White. It would depend on who we are playing of course and thank goodness for injuries,picking the best 22 is difficult and that's a good thing!

    when all else fails read the instructions.

    i.e., wait until the list is posted, we can speculate till the cows come home, but I doubt Horse is reading this thread.

McVeigh 1/2 back? He and Goodsey are needed in the centre . Also Lamb is no way ahead of Parker yet so its Lamb out ,LRT in and a few position changes.White is lucky but too much has been invested already to ditch him

    FB: Smith Richards LRT


    HB: Johnson Grundy Rohan


    C: Shaw Hanneberry Kennedy

    Followers: Mumford Goodes Mc Veigh

    HF: O'keefe Reid Mc Glynne

    FF: Pyke Walsh Parker


    IC: Mattner, Bolton , White

    Emerg: Bird, Lamb, Mitchell
    The size of the back line depends on whom we're playing. ie : If it's Hawthorn then I agree bring in LRT. If it's Carlton then better with an extra small defender.
    McVeigh played some good footy off the HB flank last year, and it wouldn't surprise to see him play that role again this year.
    Rohan has great run ,obviously, but that can be utilised just as affectively off a HF flank. Chasing down running defenders for starters. He can also take a great mark and loves a goal. I like him forward.
    And yeah, Lamb is my speccy...time will tell.
    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

    I don't know if someone else has suggested this already, but to solve the question of which three of LRT, Reg, Teddy, and AJ fit into the team, as well as giving us another big body / contested marking target up forward, how about trialling Reg up forward in the NAB cup? We all know he's got the talent, he's played well up there early in his career, he just didn't have the consistency, but he's definitely showed that lately. I love him in the backline outmarking Riewoldt and co. but I actually think that if it worked he would be of more value to the team up forward. And he would like the idea to me-thinks.

    Well the article basically answers the question. Reg will play in defense where he has found his home. He didn't work out as a forward and now is a very good defender and let's leave it at that.

    If lRT plays he will go into the forward line as the backup ruckman, I noticed JAck was missing from the team above, what were you thinking there? Reg has been an asset at HB and is still improving, can't see him moving. Walsh will not start at FF, not for the first few games anyway, and White and LRT will probably not play in the same side, one or the other, and three running midfielders will start from the bench

    I hope LRT is not going to be a back up ruck this year as it is not his possie. He is not a ruckman and it shows against some of the monsters like Kruizer, Hille and Hampson.
