"After a disappointing season in 2021, the Saints will welcome back important players from injury but still shouldn't be afraid to make statements at the selection table as young players continue to develop. Reliable defender Ben Paton, dashing youngster Hunter Clark and speedster Jade Gresham will slot straight back into the Saints' best 22 upon their respective returns from injury, while Jarryn Geary faces a tougher battle thanks to the emergence of Tom Highmore and Callum Wilkie in his near-three season absence. Mid-season draftee Cooper Sharman impressed in late 2021, kicking 10 goals in four games, and will surely be called upon to support forward-ruck Rowan Marshall when ageing ruckman Paddy Ryder is rested at times during 2022. When fit, Dan Hannebery is a valuable addition to the Saints' midfield, but chronic soft tissue injuries mean his availability may be limited, presenting plenty of opportunities for the next generation of onballers in Ryan Byrnes and Jack Bytel. - Sophie Welsh

Wrong for starters. No way will Cooper not be in the starting 22 or Battle not named at CHB.
