This is one of the best media reviews of our possible line up for next year that I’ve seen. From the AFL site

TEAM EXPLAINED: Settling on the best mix of talls is a challenge. In this team, Aaron Sandilands still gets the nod to lead the ruck over Sean Darcy for round one, although that should change at some point in 2019. Griffin Logue is coming back from a year ruined by injury but the former No.8 pick needs to play and slots in as a third tall defender, with Brennan Cox edging out Matt Taberner and Cam McCarthy to support boom goalkicking recruits Jesse Hogan and Rory Lobb due to his versatility and upside. Stephen Hill will miss a big chunk of pre-season running after quad surgery, so isn't picked for the season-opener, and mature draftee Brett Bewley is handed a debut after impressing with his running power so far this summer.
PRE-SEASON BATTLE: There are two standout battles unfolding, one between Sandilands and understudy Darcy to lead the ruck, and another between Cox, McCarthy and Taberner in attack. If Cox is swung into defence, then he will be competing with Logue. It is the sort of competition Freo has lacked between its talls for some time. - Travis King
