That to me reads like one of Jmac or Marley is not going to get up / risked.

Seen similar a few times out of Scott and I like it. Not only that he's ready to make an impact this year but what this kind of up front statement says about LDU's confidence and maturity. They're not worried about putting the challenge in front of this kid and asking him to step up - and rightly so from the little I've seen.

Is Taz gonna play?

Really want LDU in too. But don’t know who to take out. That last spot is very hard to pick!!

LDU plays over Simpkin

 

[FlyHigh18]

Sounds like Brad talk for: He won't be playing this round but def this year

 

[Clarke is King]

I bloody hope not.

He can come in for Lmac.

 

[Moti]

McGowan thinks Simpkin will play due to his defensive capabilities and it is down to LMac v Ahern for the last spot, with Ahern the outside chance.

That’s a great idea!
LDU let’s play him in the backline, he can become the next LMAC.

That would be surprising. Ahern was our best mid in the JLT series. I get that there are defensive concerns with him, but his attacking ability is far too good for him to be left out.

Umm...Ahern should be playing no question.

 

[Groin guru]

Ahern is one of the first picked imo. LMac or Ahern....

I will be shocked if either Ahern or Lmac misses. I reckon Pittard will be the one to miss out. If not him then someone will be very, very unlucky not to be playing.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Is Taz gonna play?

Yes, confirmed.

As is Williams

It would be a shock if LMac misses only because Brad refuses to ever drop him, not because his form hasn't been great, which it hasn't.

 

[kangaspurs]

Yeah, IMO it's more likely that they will be being cautious with JMac and maybe Williams, but it will be interesting to see who's on the bench in the squad tonight.

Although I will say that with our depth this year, there will probably be one or two very unlucky to miss each week. We're gonna have very good, experienced players playing a lot of VFL this season.

 

[FlyHigh18]

I'm unfamiliar with this sensation. Is this what it feels like to have depth?

Nevermind, i just noticed LMac is occupying a seat

 

[Wild Bill]

So happy Scott is named. Play him and LDU and give them both a good run at it.

that's something I am going to have to learn to deal with. I will be flat about someone missing every week.

 

[The Warlord]

Does this Macgowan also wake up witha bottle of whisky by his bed?

Ahern wil play if fit, for shiz.
