I was thinking we could turn Riki into a Tino type middle forward. Bullemor could come off the field to give Piakura time then Bullemor could come back on into the middle later in the game. TC I was thinking could be the other bench middle forward with Riki.

TC and piakura would be my options on the edge, haven't seen too much of Piakura but hes been highly regarded. I think he'll be slowly brought in starting off the bench but eventually I think would be a 80 minute player.
You don't want too many changes on the edge throughout the game if possible, messes with defensive structures more so than middle changes.
Flegler, riki and bullemor are more suited to the bench at this stage. RIKI has the potential to be that 'tino' type middle with bullemor id be keeping him as a middle. Then you've got Kobe who id be playing as lock and his got the versatility to play 9.
Carrigan and Haas you get big minutes out of so your bench players need to come on and provide impact.
Then you've got Kennedy and palasia who would also be pushing for spots and Willison who wouldn't be far off.
Then all depends what pangai is doing because that throws in more selection headaches (which is a kinda a good problem to have)
And then do you have a utility off the bench which is another headache.
But my locks would be:
8. Haas
9. Turpin
10 . Carrigan (TPJ if he stays)
11. Capewell
12. Robati
13. Hetherington (Carrigan if TPJ stays)
14. (Hetherington if TPJ stays)
15. Piakura (limited minutes to ease into first grade then swaps with robati eventually depending on development)

With Bullemor, Kennedy, Palasia, Riki, Willison, Flegler battling it out for the remaining bench spots.. Flegler basically locks one in because he's a 'origin player' now.
the bench utility would be a fight between paix, walters, Kelly, gamble or croft but with those players your limited too the positions they can play. Id much prefer a player that can come on and cover more than 2 positions but unfortunately we don't have that type of player atm.
