Forward line seems pretty top heavy, some big fellas in there, but with Starr and Harvey on the flanks they provide great speed and agility. Could easily throw Moon in there for one of the big fellas or put him on the ball and rest Warburton in a pocket. Backline seems a bit lightweight, especially compared to the forwards, but are all sound defenders. Clint easily the best ruckman in the Div, hasn't been beaten this year really, Craig Hall giving him the best contest both at the taps and around the ground. The two small blokes at his feet are gun players, both very fit, tear games apart. Visser the best centre going around and the two wingmen, although deadset receivers, find space very well and have damaging foot skills.
Could have easily had Michael Apostolopolous (Glenunga), Matt Loffler (West Croydon), Mick Gower (Hope Valley), Damian Millar (BL) and several of the Westminster small man brigade (Malcolm, Ryan, Williams etc) on the bench for a spot around the midfield.
Coach of the year thus far would be Westminster's.
