This Clark bloke is looking real good... Henry-esk of last year. Will be a tough backline to get into tho

Was very impressive, but agree it's a tough lineup to break into. He'll get a run for sure this year. If not Round 1, hopefully a bit later so he's a nice downgrade target

Constable with 26 touches from just 71% TOG

Constable 92, Clark 87, Allan 86, Watson 76 and Atkins 69 were the pick of the #SuperCoach #cashcows.

Clark a good chance to play round 1 IMO.

But there's this guy named Tuohy that'll come back in and then it's goodbye for Clarkey.

Or Clark will remain in the side even when Tuohy returns.

He plays well he stays, pretty simple.

Clark is in R1 unless he completely botches his next game somehow. Only two games but he is the next most impressive kid after Walsh.

Clarke would probably remain in the side. Henry could swing forward as that’s where he been training all pre season apprently

Caldwell off a limited preseason already ahead of Hately. Firming for round 1.

Caldwell was touted as a potential number 1 pick prior to injuries ruining his last two years of footy and forcing him down the order. Still got snapped up at pick 11, which means GWS see the upside and talent in taking someone with such a history as his. Professional environment and full time medical staff and programming could see him fullfill his potential.

Davies-Uniacke probably moves ahead of Walsh & Bennell for me, 27 touches a nice continuation of his late season form in the VFL.

73 SC isn't great, although it looks like he will be playing a lot more this year based on Scott's post match comment

Scott: Luke Davies-Uniacke played how he’s trained all pre-season, well. A lot of people think that the new recruits will be the catalyst for change, but it’s the likes of Davies-Uniacke and Simpkin that will help us improve.

JS very good & I suspect he'll get better with his disposal, he's also cheaper than Walsh. It may well be that I select no-one who's over 123k but if forced to do so then LDU looms as a good POD.

We often start with 5 prem mids, but with Miles/Libba etc still options it seems plenty of people are considering 4 prem mids + one of them

Well, we could even go 4 prem mids, then 2 of expensive rookies at M5/6 because their JS should be excellent, and it gives us cash to bolster other lines and get those really poor scoring rookies off the field in def and fwd

That's certainly an option, I've currently got Bennell at M6 & Miles at M5, so replacing Harley with LDU maintains my structure. I also note that Miles is on the bench so maybe not the bedrock selection that we are expecting. He'll obviously need to perform strongly. I also note that Brad Crouch played well so there's that to consider.

Put a line through Bennell - he pinged his calf yet again recently

Certainly a lot to play out over the next fortnight
