Please forgive me if this has already been discussed but was wondering what people thought our best XXII would look like next year.
You would assume that Rohan and McGlynn would be in it and probably Tippett if he comes.
Then you have the likes of Everitt, Walsh and Mitchell in the wings.
So who would be the premiership players to make way?
My team is......
B: shaw richards smith
HB johnson grundy armstrong
C: okeefe hannerbry mcveigh
HF: rohan reid jetta
F: mcglyn tippett goodes
FOLL: mumford kennedy jack
IC: malceski mitchell pyke bolton (meridith if jude retires
if your head is made out of chocolate dont stand out in the sun
Don't think Meredith will be in Swans colours next year
Assuming we get the big Tippo and Jude retires.
B: Shaw Richards Smith
HB: Johnson Grundy Mattner
C: Jetta Jack Hannebery
HF: Rohan Reid McVeigh
F: McGlynn Tippett Goodes
R: Mumford Kennedy O'Keefe
B: Parker, LRT, Morton, Malceski
LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.
2012 Bloods Premiers.
B: shaw, Richards, smith.
HB: Johnson, Grundy, Malceski.
C: Jetta, ROK, Mcveigh
HF: Rohan, Reid, Mcglyn.
F: LRT, Tippet, Goodes.
Following: Mumford, Kennedy, Jack.
Interchange: Hanners, Bolton, Parker, Armstrong.
Emergency: TDL, Mattner, Mitchell.
I don't think there will be room for 2 rucks if Tippet comes in, seeing how both Tippet and LRT can play second ruck.

The only reason I say that (which won't happen, this is what I want to happen) is because we need to start bringing in our younger kids, as a lot of our backline is getting old.
What about Mike Pyke?
Start with the team that won the Premiership. That team has the right to play Round 1 IMO. The only changes should be injury or retirement related, with the exception of McGlynn. The Tippett deal isn't over the line yet and Gaz won't be match ready until Rd 8 at the earliest IMO.
During the year I expect to see Gaz, Mitchell, Armstrong, Lamb & Walsh pressing and getting a few games. Hopefully a few others too.
Today's a draft of your epitaph
I was impressed with Everitt this year - especially the Geelong game at the SCG.
Agree with this, though if Tippett does arrive, you'd think he'd be in the side, at the expense of either LRT or Pyke (with LRT a chance to push someone else out of the backline).
I'd like to add Cunningham and Heath as two more players pressing and getting a few games.
The irony of this is that if some of these fringe players don't crack the side they will leave and other sides could to do to us what we were able to do by turning around other teams' fringe players ie Teddy, Joey, etc
