Tough one. I had Cerra and Cottrell out of my last team. Do they take Kennedy and Owies spot?

Something seems to be amiss with the percentage aspect of the poll Kruddler.

How so?

Because its not showing 100% for players that have been voted in every team?

This seems to be a sitewide thing added retrospectively, as its the same if you look at one last year now.

Yep
It's obviously another glitch like the double quoting.
It should be 100% if everyone who has voted has voted for that player.

The team at Zero Hangar came up with this team as the likely opening lineup for 2025, I tend to agree with them given how pre-season training is taking shape and players  being trialled/trained in different positions.

This is a premiership team for mine.

Part of the problem is any top 8 team with their best 22 can win a flag.

It all comes down to injuries, of which we should expect around 4 first liners out at any one time.

Thankfully, for the first time in a long time, the next in lines (plus others like Pittonet, Binns, at a stretch Younng) should provide OK coverage.

We still need a young KPD - Sam DK anyone?? Not sure when McGoverns contract ends but I’d be keen to move him on

Yeah, thats nothing i can control.

If you want to 'correct it' simply multiple the % by 4.54 to get the accurate representation (FYI, thats 1/22 * 100)

Thats just 2 changes different to my team.
O. Hollands + Fogarty
vs
Boyd vs Kemp.

Obviously, i'm biased towards my team, but i think its critical to have another KP option in there, especially since we are running with 1 ruck......and no silvagni/kennedy as backup.

Saad Weiters Cowan
Gov  Haynes  Newy
Blacers Crippa Doc
Lij      H      Kemp
Zac   Charles Mots
TDK  Cez  Walsh
int - Jagga  Hewitt  Fog Boyd
sub - Moir

that leaves out - Durds, Cinc, Lord, Young, Binns, Pitto, Soj, Ollie, Cotters - that is 9 very solid back ups.  hopefully this holds us in good stead - we can have reasonable injuries, without it being disasterous

then the youngsters - campo x2, lemmey, wilson, ofarrell, okeeffe, charleston,  irish x2
then - fantasia

At the fear of shooting Bambi, one of our strengths over the past 2 years has been two gut running wingmen, moving from  defense  to attack.  Is a 31 year old coming off a knee reco going to give us the same pace and coverage as Acres and O Holland (throw in Cottrell as the 3rd wheel)? I still tend to think that Doc's best position is providing experience and steadiness in our backline....... rotated off the bench.

Are they just trying to find a spot for him by moving him to mid to wing?
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Docherty is one of the key reasons I found this particular best 22 so difficult.
Doc in his prime is a walk-up start....but what does 2025 Docherty look like, particularly when we didn't see the 2024 version until the end, and that left more questions than it answered.
So when I did eventually pick the side I left him out.

I want to see how he comes back with a solid pre-season and no injuries.
It may be he's straight back in the next time we do this exercise....but right now I think we need to see a bit more.
