2023: SC Planning Thread

Im pretty set on taking him on but Im also interested to see how he actually looks as a forward, after repeated shoulder surgeries and a pretty serious back op can he actually take the contested marks he could in his prime? Does multiple soft tissue issues allow him to still have the power on the lead he once had? Lot of questions that need to be answered.

Saints trialling another 196cm key forward:
ST KILDA has decided to explore another avenue for key forward depth ahead of the pre-season supplemental selection period deadline, inviting Anthony Caminiti to trial for the final spot on the Saints' rookie list.
The 19-year-old is part of Carlton's VFL program and will have less than a handful of training sessions to mount his case for a spot at RSEA Park in 2023.

One thing I’m finding interesting this year is locking in my clear cut VC/C options. In years past we’ve usually had a ruck option or 2, plus a couple of starting Uber mids. This year the rucks all look risky (VC at best) and someone like Macrae could burn you if the role stays average.
Leaning heavily towards Laird/Oliver as their fixtures align perfectly for VC/C and both feel up there with the most reliable. Bont probably another.. those 3 feel the best and safest.

Ill just be rotating Laird and Oliver, making any other decision can be left for those that have gone for value.
Very hard to trust Macrae when hes been thrown on a wing previously and theyve just lost a quality winger, rather see the good role and make him an upgrade priority than hope it happens off one pre season game.
