The scratch matches are done and I could hear the murmurings… I wonder if that changes the Rollin’ 22, What will Roy’s take on this be? Surely he won’t jump on the Heen Train, How Royactionary is Roy this year?, When is the next Rollin’ release?

Well, here it is

Position	Club, Position, Price	Roy's Thoughts
D1	Lachie Whitfield GWS Giants DEF/MID, $795k	Didn’t get out of second gear and dominated. Massive year ahead.
D2	Jack Crisp Collingwood DEF/MID, $854k	Looks like the midfield role will bump up from last year.
D3	Jake Lloyd Sydney DEF, $823k	Good players don’t try in pre season. Similar output to last year.
D4	Jordan Dawson Adelaide DEF/MID, $745k	The wing and midfield role should bode well for someone with his ceiling.
D5	Aaron Hall North Melbourne DEF, $823k	Injury will always be a concern, but he is a match winning scorer.
D6	Christian Salem Melbourne DEF, $779k	The Dees mean business and his finals form will carry over.
M1	Jack Steele St Kilda MID, $1.02m	That average of 134 in the second half of the year, along with role predictability locks him in
M2	Tom Mitchell Hawthorn, MID	Averaged 126 in the second half of the year and has had a great pre season. Oink.
M3	Touk Miller Gold Coast Suns MID, $1.02m	Looked outstanding (as usual) in his pre season hit out. Expect domination to continue.
M4	Jack Macrae Western Bulldogs MID, $972k	Didn’t miss a beat in his pre season hit out. Mid role looks unlikely to be Bevoed.
M5	Clayton Oliver Melbourne MID, $912k	A bit of Globe Trotters is on the cards for the ball magnet. Had a field day vs North.
M6	Zach Merrett Essendon MID, $952k	Same old from Zach. He is a midfielder who may float back to add a couple more +6s.
M7	Rory Laird Adelaide MID, $937k	Laird comes in as an injury replacement as a reward for last season. He is under a large blanket of players vying for this spot.
M8	Christian Petracca Melbourne MID, $930k	Makes his way in following injuries to Sam Walsh and Callum Mills. Confidence is high as we saw vs North.
R1	Brodie Grundy Collingwood RUC, $893k	Looking like the Pig of old. Moving around like a midfielder and dominating as a result.
R2	Max Gawn Melbourne RUC, $911k	Ruck duties will no doubt be shared but it appears he will still be free to roam the ground as opposed to just sitting forward.
F1	Tim Taranto GWS MID/FWD, $904k	Timmy was in the middle, it means daylight is F2.
F2	Josh Dunkley Western Bulldogs MID/FWD, $767k	Rolled the legs over vs the Dons, would have had 30 touches and a ton.
F3	Mitch Duncan Geelong MID/FWD, $841k	Treading a fine line as he pushes for a round one inclusion.
F4	Adam Treloar Western Bulldogs MID/FWD, $731k	Looked back to 2021 pre injury, which means 100 or so per game.
F5	Isaac Heeney Sydney FWD, $639k	I only need a quarter to confirm my ticket on the train. Dominated in the midfield and even Horse couldn’t backflip this time. Surely.
F6	Dustin Martin Richmond MID/FWD, $682k	Over 20 CBAs, 30 possessions and around 100 points. Seen enough.
