BB, Fritta, Kozzy, Spargo and ANB locks in my eyes.
Was tough picking between McDonald, Jacko or Sparrow for the last spot. Went TMc but after last year Sparrow or Jacko would both make a spot their own there. Obviously Jackson makes the 22 regardless with his rucking, but has come on a lot as a forward.
 
I think Tomlinson may be an option to play in the forward line this year. If T Mac or Brown is out of form and Petty is keeping Tomo out of the back line they may consider playing him forward. I went pretty boring here with Spargo, T Mac, Brown, Jacko, Fritsch and Pickett.

God bless the other 3 Tom Sparrow voters.

He can play in multiple positions, wouldnt be surprised if he went back to a wing if Langdon or Braysaw went down also. True old school utility. I think hes part of our best back 6 still given his ability to play on a variety of opponents with Hibbo making way from last years GF team.
 
As an aside to 2022... , I think its time for the Demons to start sniffing around Ben King, in relation to his whereabouts for seasons 2023/2024, & on.

King's out of contract this year, and BBB is up to 2024. BBB should be in strong form, for the next 2 seasons.... 2022/2023. Weide is an unknown quantity, and I think is a half forward anyway.

Deep forwards at Mfc are BBB, and I think that's it.

I feel this isn't quite as interesting as previous years. The team that brought the cup home all deserve their spots. It will interesting to see how the season pans out, hopefully we see some good pressure for spots across all lines, but for mine last years 23 hold their spots until proven otherwise.

After paying Oliver and Petracca what they deserve, and with expected pay increases coming for Jackson/Pickett/Rivers, I doubt the club has enough salary cap left over to meet Ben King's demands.
