After Kruddler's convoluted polls, I thought it would be interesting to see how folk would pick their sides for Rounds 1 and 12.
My Round 1 side is based on known quantities and an expectation that Pick 6 knows how to play:
FB: Plowman Weitering Marchbank
HB: Simpson Rowe Docherty
C: Boekhorst Cripps E Curnow
HF: Gorringe Casboult Wright
FF: J Silvagni C Curnow Petrevski-Seton
Foll: Kreuzer Gibbs Murphy
Int: Kerridge Cuningham Armfield Palmer
Omitted because of injury: Byrne Phillips
My Round 12 side is based more on crystal ball gazing:
FB: Plowman Weitering Marchbank
HB: Byrne Rowe Docherty
C: Simpson Cripps E Curnow
HF: C Curnow Casboult Wright
FF: J Silvagni McKay Petrevski-Seton
F: Kreuzer Gibbs Murphy
Int: Pickett Cuningham Macreadie Phillips
Thoughts?

Harry McKay
Our biggest strength is top level backline.
Biggest problem is no forward line threat. So this is the most attacking we could get I reckon.
Palmer, Murphy, Pickett, Sumner, Smedts, Armfield, SOS & SPS pushing forward as crumbers under McKay, Cas, Weit and Curnow. We may struggle on some defensive transition work but I reckon we could at least kick a score with that team.

If Macreadie is playing seniors by round 12, it will be a huge win for the club. I like the rest of your side, but personally I would swap Macreadie for Fisher, or a more boring option, Kerridge.

It probably is a bit of a stretch but I liked the footage of Macreadie playing against Werribee and I don't think he'll find it hard to transition to AFL. Kerridge and Fisher are probably more realistic options.

Palmer will be in the 22 both Rd 1 and Rd 12. Without question.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Pretty much as I see it EB1, maybe Phillips will nudge out Gorringe if he gets his foot right by Rnd 12.
As we get deeper into the season the seasoned AFL bodies will dominate match day, that's just the way it is. We might find blokes like SPS tiring a bit, and guys like Boekhorst and Cunningham stepping up under the pressure for a spot.
I don't think we will see that much of Pickett or Macreadie in their first year. They are competing for spots where fitness and strength matter.
Will be interesting to see how the club manages guys like Simpson, Wright, Kreuzer and Murphy. I'm hoping we take a realistic approach about 6 day breaks and long plane trips in a year we shouldn't expect too much. The odd weekend off for these guys can really help sharpen the focus and freshen them up!

By round 3 Palmer's kicking will be a major source of discussion on this site.

The guy did play in last year's PF - that says something amongst the star studded GWS crop of players?
And he has, in recent seasons, been kicking a lot more goals (bags even in the NEAFL) so that helps our cause too - and implies he's a decent kick at goal?
