Assuming the same injuries as you. I think Anthony is ready to go, Brown not quite yet. But that's just my opinion. Besides, Wakelin and O'Brien will be right for Pavlich and Tarrant IMO, we don't need a third tall (although O'Brien can take a small instead of a tall if necessary).

I also really want Wellingham to get an early chance, but I don't think we will promote him yet.

Does Rusling have a new injury?

Dont think you can leave O'Bree out he has been our best clearance player in recent seasons and deserves a place. Let the kids push him out when they can start to challenge his performance. I would leave Brown out Anthony to back Pocket and O'Bree to bench

I would also add R Shaw in place of Iles

I'd swap Iles with Stanley (although MM probably wouldn't). And the backline seems too big to me...other than Heath, the others are medium-big defenders. I'd take out Wakelin (no real match-up) for a small.

edit: Seems I've overlooked O'Bree and Swan also. O'Bree for Wakelin, Swan for Iles.

Interesting. Hopefully that eventuates, but unfortunately I think it might take a couple of injuries.

[DemonErrol1964 - dees]

Seriously and not trying to be a smart asse but do you pies think Dane Swan is not up to starting in your best line up.

I as an observer may be wrong, but I really rate him.

no we all rate him, but swanny has always been used starting on the bench as has burns the past couple of years so both are fresh and running hard in the last qtr.

We all rate him but he starts on the benche very week and still gets 30 odd touches and often drags us over the line in tight matches

Much better Sampler, I had a chuckle at your Swan / O'Bree ommissions (too of our best extraction players)

I have the same 22 as my round 1 starting 22, although I can't see Swan playing half back (either bench or midfield.)

Good job.

I've basically brought in Egan and R Shaw with Bucks and Jimmy retiring so I'm a little concerned that we haven't enough backmen. JA would be the one probably for Rhyce Shaw.

I'd say the team we fielded against Sydney in the final was the best side we fielded all year. So to contrast what it will look like:

OUT: Buckley, Clement, Richards.
IN: Egan, Anthony, Wood.

In reality it's not THAT bad. We lost a lot of experience, but we also have Johnson to come back.

[Penski]

Does anyone know where Wood and Fraser played in the WC game? (the only game where they have both played together so far).

I'm interested to know if they'll be changing off the bench (as most of you are putting Wood in I/C), or maybe changing in a forward pocket.

I like it when Fraser plays as more of a forward flanker/pocket, and causes some real match-up problems.

They played together against Port. Both were rested forward at times, both went to the bench at times. To be honest Wood looked more dangerous forward on the day, but then against Fraser didn't seem to be trying too hard. Wood was in the goal square for a while, took a few grabs and kicked a couple. (Actually kicked 1, dished one off from about 20m out).

Thanks Opti. I really rate Stanners - I reckon he's got the cleanest disposal I've seen in years and while he doesn't get huge stats, he makes virtually every one count. I'd rather see him getting 15 clean disposals than someone else getting 30 touchs at 50/50 effectiveness where they more or less cancel each other out. He's also got some sort of injury at the moment but he was still amongst the best in the intra-club.

Thanks again - that's encouraging. Now I hope MM lives up to his talk.

GO PIES!

[Footy guru]

That is where he starts every week.

Go worry about your own crappy team.

You guys are not paying attention he does not start there every week only when he has an injury does he start on the bench and after the game against the saints last year he had an ankle injury pickering his manager revealed that on foxtel that when he played on Ling the next week it was still sore. He is no. one or two at hard ball gets and clearances he will start on the ground - take note who has been peforming in practice matches Swan has been in best every week - most consistent player in team got 30 touches in Dubai scored (111) for the Albany match for 78 minutes game time and got best player this week in Shepparton. Fancy pointing him on bench Pendlebury has only played okay at shepparton the rest on the games he was woeful, Thomas still makes mistakes I will be placing Swan on the ground he always goes well against Freo. Go swannie my best:thumbsu:

First - Punctuation. Give it a shot.

Second - You're the one not paying attention. Dane Swan only averaged 67% game time last year - He spends significant time on the bench in each and every game, and USUALLY he starts there.

I think you better check your stats , he only started to play on the bench in the last half of the year as he was injured unknown to other teams as I said after the Saints game. He was not permitted to run when pre season started due to an injury. I bet you he starts on the ground as he has been best midfield over the pre season. if you say he only played 67% pretty good for someone who came fourth in brownlow.

Pretty conservative team first up but I prefer that for Round 1. Guys who performed last year get a chance to hold their spots. The only real talking points are Anthony coming in for Jimmy, which is insurance I suppose for their key forwards and Egan coming in for Bucks.

We are going to have to rotate all of Davis, Didak, Medhurst and Thomas through the middle if we are to win this one as I think we may be one runner short.

MM might go for Iles instead of Egan, although I think Eags has a lot more upside, and he may opt for the bigger bodied Brown instead of Anthony. I think we have enough defensive cover though as Maxwell could possibly go to Tarrant or Pavlich.

Something tells me we will go down in this game, but somehow find a win against the odds at the Gabba to go 1-1 after 2 rounds.

I have a bad feeling about this match too nihh.

When was the last time we actually looked good in round 1? I'd say 2003, considering we've lost every year since then... and won last year looking absolutely terrible. And before that (2003)... 2000 was the last time we won one.
