There are some debatable aspects to Freo's best side when they take on Geelong in the opening round of the 2017 Toyota AFL Premiership Season at Domain Stadium.
First is the ruck set-up. Sandilands needs a ruck partner. Both Jon Griffin and Zac Clarke look set to be available but Apeness might give more flexibility.
McCarthy slots into Matthew Pavlich's spot. Kersten might not find a role immediately depending again on the forward structure.
Dream to play alongside brother
The Hill brothers on the wings are an exciting prospect.
Hamling and Alex Pearce would probably be preferred as the key backs but Ross Lyon does trust Zac Dawson in the big games.
Danyle Pearce's experience gives him an advantage but Langdon will make a strong case topush for the first-choice 22 if they look to build for the longer term.
