Right from Round 1, I'm hoping D Sheed, Wohling, Garcia, Madut, C DeLuca - then a bit later Le Fanu, Halligan, Clarke then a bit later A Sheed, Fetherstonhaugh, Hill, Harvie. But I'm only having a punt there. Might depend on strength of mind for those blokes. They all have talent.

Bogensperger, Moore, Ashman, Hoskins, Symonds, Norris, Waters, Pickett jr, Smythe should be up and about and ready from the previous year as well.

Also interested in big Singh. Having a look at the new team photo, he's not as tall as Seva Martin who is about 206cm (6ft9) but he's got to be close to 200 (6ft7)

By the way, I tried to change the list but it didn't allow me to.

Looks like a few more have pulled the pin - Joyce, Bottecchia.

Plus an in - Allen Garlett (Nollamara AFC)

I've seen and read a bit about Sheed, Garci and Deluca and agree they're pretty much ready made league players...it'll be interesting to see how Madut develops as he could be something special. The next couple of years could be interesting if these guys all come on as we hope they do....fingers crossed.

Ok, will give this edit another shot. I'll put Broady at the end, because he's probably not going to play.

Possible List (Unofficial) Probably need to add a few or take off a few

Yeah, hope so. Important that they all got through the toughest pre-season for years. That was the first test of character. (Harvie has been ill for much of pre-season but I've been told he will be back when he's well)

Wait until you see the next batch (Colts/16's development squad). Dare I say it - maybe even better than the outstanding ones just gone up from colts to seniors. But I better keep a lid on it I guess for now.

Joyce gone? Thats a shame - he was a real talent I thought?

Yeah. Shame. He was a good prospect.

The list is thinning out a bit but I guess that was going to happen with such a tough pre-season.

The players who have lasted the distance have done a power of work.

We shouldn't lose any more from this point I hope.

Just got to add Guernsey 31, who is a bloke I don't know from Victoria called Macca and guernsey 51 who I can't recall.

I'm pretty sure 95% of those guernsey numbers are correct. Maybe a couple wrong. Not sure what number Dom Sheed is because he's been training with West Coast under that scholarship arrangement thing. But number 13 seemed to be spare.

And this is most of the squad - a handful absent.

You can the talls at the back. Seva Martin is about 206cm (6ft9). To his left Chris Pocklington is listed at 201cm (6ft7). To his left McDougall.

On the other side of Seva is Baldave Singh. He'd be around the 202cm (6ft8) mark. David Madut is about 196/197cm (6ft5/6ft6). Some big units.
