Selection in one or both squads may depend more on where players are at with their fitness and training loads than on whether they’re pencilled in for Round 1.FWIW, Pittonet is playing VFL....but is still on the recovery side of things.
The team selected for the practice match against the Swans should be closer to the mark, but I wouldn’t rule out an unexpected selection or two for Round 1.
A lot will depend on whether “automatic” selections like Martin, MGovern and Pittonet get up.
Other than that, the 17 selected would probably be best 22 based on the players we have available, so i don't think our side can get much better with what we have at our disposal.
Who is playing VFL that you would have in the 1's at the expense of one of those 17?
