[Bill Manspeaker]

B: Gwilt, Blake, Simpkin
HB: Dempster, Fisher, Geary
C: Siposs, Dal Santo, Montagna
HF: Stanley, Riewoldt, Steven
F: Saad, Lee/Wilkes, Milne
R: McEvoy, Hayes, Armitage

I/C: Hickey, Gilbert, Schneider

Sub: Newnes

unlucky to miss out: Lee/Wilkes, Ledger, Milera, Ross, Dunell, Ray, TDL (and maybe some of our draftees, dunno haven't really seen 'em yet) and i have a bad feeling that i'm missing someone important haha.

Geary and Siposs can swap over aswell so we can use Siposs' long and beautiful kick across half back

i honestly think that we're not looking too bad. i doubt we'll play finals, but i really think we're looking okay for the future. couple of years of good drafting (need a monster full back) and i think we'll be contending again soon.

lol thats a mistake Zip, not concentraiting ::) all fixed ;D Still to many big men, might bring in Jones/Murdoch for Kosi/Lee

[aces-high]

My opinion
Full backs simpkin gwilt dempster
Half backs sipposs fisher gilbert
Centres montagna hayes armitage
Half forwards saad roo steven
Full forwards milne kossie stanley
Rucks mcevoy dal santo jones
Bench geary hickey schneider sub wright

Not a bad looking team at full strength, backs are the issue! Brown would've been a great pickup for use

[Nige]

Roberton to make the best 22?

Also, lulz at TDL.

what other option is there lol?

I'd probably have Siposs and TDL switched from your draft 22. I'm pretty sure Siposs is rated pretty highly at the Saints.

Sippos is going to be Goddard this year. Played him at half back near the end of last season and he was beautiful to watch. I think the team will be something like this

B: Gwilt, Blake, Dempster
HB: Fisher, Simpkin, Geary
C: Montagna, Dal Santo, Armitage
HF: Schneider, Riewoldt, Steven
F: Milne, Kosi/Lee, Saad
Foll: McEvoy, Jones, Hayes
Bench: Gilbert, Hickey, Sippos
Sub: Ledger

People saying the saints dont have much of a list.. but these players are not even in the team.
Milera, Ray, Wilkes, TDL, Wright, Dunnel, Newnes, Roberton

Does Nathan Wright have much chance of cracking into the side this year?  Which backline depth players are ahead of him?

If you check out the saints pre season guide (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2012-12-30/preseason-guide-st-kilda) it mentions Wright briefly. Says the assistant coach expects him to challenge for senior games next year. Although then later on it mentions that he also expects "a lot" of the four recruits Hickey, Dennis-Lane, Lee and Roberton. Roberton is also a rebounding half back so could be competing against him...

Where does Brodie Murdoch sit in relation to your best 22 fellas? From what I saw he was ok in the last NAB game.
