The scary prospect about Subiaco is that their WAFL players are arguably stronger than their AFL contingent.

With such a solid line in defence, heavily featuring Subiaco players with Harry Marsh, Gus Litherland, Jordan Lockyer and Rowen Powell, plus the booming kick of Brisbane's Daniel Rich and shutdown man Ben Miller, would make it hard for any opposition forward line.

The midfield is potent thanks to Kyal Horsley and Leigh Kitchin, who would not play second fiddle to anyone in this side. Foley, Ainsworth and Sheed, all from West Coast would also start in the middle along with Sydney big-man Callum Sinclair, with the latter two regular AFL starters.

Reigning Sandover Medallist, Lachlan Delahunty would be the focal point up forward, with young talent Georgiades and Mayo in supporting roles. Liam Ryan would give the forward line the X-factor; not only to kick goals but help draw the attention of the opposition’s defence. 

Backs: Harrison Marsh (Subi) Angus Litherland (Subi) Jordan Lockyer (Subi)
Half-backs: Daniel Rich (Brisbane) Ben Miller (Richmond) Rowen Powell (Subi)
Centres: Luke Foley (West Coast) Brayden Ainsworth (West Coast) Leigh Kitchin (Subi)
Half-forwards: Liam Baker (Richmond) Lachlan Delahunty (Subi) Kyron Hayden (North Melbourne)
Forwards: Mitch Georgiades (Port Adel) Jack Mayo (St Kilda) Liam Ryan (West Coast)
Followers: Callum Sinclair (Sydney) Kyal Horsley (Subi) Dom Sheed (West Coast)
Interchange: Ben Sokol (Subi) Greg Clark (Subi) Hayden Kennedy (Subi) Ben Newton (Subi)

Such is the depth of this team, though, the likes of Rhys Waters and Max Walters could not be squeezed in despite being worthy of selection.
