With 16 defenders in the team and 11 forwards multi role guys like Weitering / Garlett have to be setting themselves for the forward line this year.
Wings were a massive problem for us last year. Boek / Thomas / Graham / Ed / etc struggled to transition us out of defense with any venom. Murphy / Curnow would make it a strength. Mullett or Lang will be important for this also.
Would love to see Samo start as our direct replacement for Gibbs.

Reckon Mullett will play on the wing because of his good disposal.....also think OShea will play the Docherty role across half back, he reads the play well and
wasnt recruited to play in the VFL..
Not convinced about Byrne, Lamb, J, Garlett for round 1..I also have Dow only 50/50...still a lightly built kid and may need some VFL games...
Agree Weitering may be use forward at times but I think he will start across half back initially in the season, didnt think he was that great this last season and needs to be settled...

Harry McKay playing will mean Weitering can stay in the backline.
Lang will be an interesting one. Struggle to find a place for him - I don't see him as a forward so he'd need to push out a Dow / Ed Curnow. Hoping Cunningham is too good to leave out this year also.

Garlett would be very handy if he made the wing his spot. Excellent endurance / speed. O'Brien? Might find it tough to push into the round 1 team for me.
Re: Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game - Baggers - 12-13-2017

Look at the names on the bench and Emg. Think we are finally building getting a deeper list. I'm under no illusions that means very little until we start climbing up the ladder BUT this is the deepest list I have seen in a bloody long time competition for spots will be red hot!
Easily can argue Willo, O'Shea, Shaw, Cunningham, Polson, McCreadie and or Thomas could be on bench or emergencies as well.
Looking at the squad I reckon the likes of Kerridge, Graham, Lebois and older guys like Rowe, Phillips and Thomas are going to have to rely on a heap of injures or play their career best to break into the team.
Good signs.....
Re: Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game - flyboy77 - 12-13-2017
Agree Weitering should play back. It's clearly what he does best.
Assuming injury free, Harry should get the gig at FF for quite some time.....
O'She an interesting one. You'd reckon he wasn't put on the senior list to play 2s?
Ditto Shaw....and even with the Doc out, hard to find a spot for Willo - wow.
Should Jack get a gig ahead of Matty W? Tough call too.
O'Brien will play 1s before Dow, much much fitter guy, an elite runner AND a booming left foot....and Dow's shoulder.
