2018 Best 22

[AB Swannie]

The article on AFL.com.au has the following team as our best 22:

B: Nick Smith, Heath Grundy, Aliir Aliir
HB: Jarrad McVeigh, Dane Rampe, Jake Lloyd
C: Dan Hannebery, Josh Kennedy, Zak Jones
HF: Kieren Jack, Sam Reid, George Hewett
F: Will Hayward, Lance Franklin, Tom Papley
Foll: Kurt Tippett, Luke Parker, Isaac Heeney
I/C: Callum Mills, Nic Newman, Oliver Florent, Dean Towers

Notable omissions include Rohan, Melican, and Sinclair.

BTW, the Essendon best 22 looks seriously good to me.

I doubt Macca will play HB very many times this year, too slow.

Melican will be a starter.

Good to have this problem though, it means we have depth. Who are those last year and the year before that said we lacked depth?

I was one and I was proved correct that in 2016 & 2017 we lacked depth. Prime exhibit is our start to last season when we had a few senior players missing and the replacements weren't up to it.

But the trials of last year have placed us in a good position with depth THIS season.
