The article on the AFL site, quoted above, states that few of the senior players will play. It also says Heeney won't play (which isn't surprising, given he recently had knee surgery).
I can't see Hanners playing. I think he's on the sidelines at the moment. I'd also be surprised if Rohan were available, given his recent pre-season history.
There's no reason to pick just one team, either. I think they can involve different players in the two matches. I'd certainly like to see more of the fringe players get a chance. I mentioned Rose above, but Dawson, Aliir, Cameron, COR are others on the cusp of senior consideration who I'd love to get an early 2018 glimpse of. And it would be good to see how Hewett goes as the main man in the centre without Kennedy there. He also looked very sharp at training last week.
