AFL Every club's best 22. Derdog is back.

[underdog11]

This is my opinion of every team in the leagues best 22. Been working on this for a while, interested in feedback (positive and negative). Will make it an annual thing, Critism welcomed. This isn't round 1 best 22, its my opinion of the overall best 22 of each team, if every player were to be fit. Its a guide to try and assist in deciding the chances of fantasy relevant rookies having a spot in their respective teams, enjoy!

[Mr.Craig]

Josh Thomas played 19 games for Collingwood last year. He is definitely best 22.

No Hawthorn team? ???

[kilbluff1985]

Kommer instead of Dell

[Money]

Cinton Young should be in 22 IMO

[eg6914]

West Coast best 22:
FB    Butler, Glass, Brown
HB    Hurn, McKenzie, Waters
M     Gaff, Masten, Selwood

butler will definitely not be ahead of ellis,
i think butler gaff hill sheed and hutchings will be fighting for spots this season

[Ziplock]

For the giants, I'd put Kelly as the sub, hampton off halfback, hoskin elliott to the bench, scully on the field, and I don't know if buntine makes the 22.

[nrich102]

Lions team probably looks more like this mate

FB: J.Clarke D.Merrett  J. Patful

R: M.Leunberger, T.Rockliff, J.Redden

I/C: R.Lester. J. Lisle. R. Harwood. R. Bewick (sub)

McGrath, Michael, Aish, Close, Paparone etc when injury strikes

[Sweetness]

Great work mate.
MacKay is in Adelaide's best 22, and I would definitely have Mitch Grigg above Matty Crouch.

[Mr.Craig]

I would definitely have Mitch Grigg above Matty Crouch.

Agreed.

Port Adelaide Best 22:

I/C: C'O Shea, O.Wines, J.Butcher
J.Neade (sub)

Butcher is a while away from our best 22 and Polec right now wouldn't be in it either. Broady and Jonas are well and truly in our best 22 and a fit Cassisi is as well.

[Peter]

For Collingwood, Blair for Dwyer, J Thomas for Fasolo and Maxwell for Scharenberg. Might not be captain, but most likely will still be in best 22 this season

[tbagrocks]

Great work mate.
I would definitely have Mitch Grigg above Matty Crouch.

Agreed.

Be very surprised is Matty plays at all early, if at all. Grigg and Mackay for sure starters, probably drop a tall forward for one

Lynch, JJ Tex and LJ wont all play together. Lynch comes out imo as LJ simply has to play and JJ rucks

Watch for Jaensch to steal a spot! Reilly plays before my boy Lairdy too at this stage and Lukey Brown a certain starter every week, even at Lairdy or Hendo's expense

did LJ really show that much in his handful of games?  I mean, he kicked 6 goals against melbourne, but apart from that he was kind of more on the average side.
