Depends if he has to go under the knife.

I don't want Goldy going head to head with Preuss either.

Bring in the cannon fodder.

Tommy C would be good for that

 

[Heaps of fun]

Wonderful news. Really lovely stuff.

Yep, teaming with Tristan.

No need to get Brown or Larkey involved this early.

Agree, Charlie can play FF

 

[Val Keating]

I hope the Dees supporters don’t expect strawberries and cream.

Actually this could be a good business opportunity for the push.

 

[SMaturin]

I have some broken bricks in the back of the ute.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Same day as the all stars game and 1 week after our first prac match

I still think Higgins, brown and maybe cunners play the all stars game and probably don’t play in our first prac match the week before against dogs

They have a ready made replacement in the Hybrid don't they?

If you mean Preuss, he’s out for about 10 weeks

You would assume none of goldy Higgins cunners would play this match as they are playing state of origin a few hours later

 

[The Nostradamus]

Time to get a look at Tyson, Hosie, LDU, Comben and a full game for Curtis

That is a reasonable assumption.

I think they should ski double up. Make it happen Mark Powells.

So nice of them to play the match during work hours on a Friday. If you're gonna do it at 110 why not saturday or Sunday

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Would like to see Comben and Xerri given a go as a combo.

 

[The Other Dean]

Assuming he's recovered, I'd like to see Hall in the side and given as many centre bounce involvements as possible.

Firmly believe that's his best spot, and also where he's of most use to us given the persistent lack of burst-speed in our centre square set-ups.

+1.

Hate to mention last year's poor start, but he was actually one of our few shining lights in Rd 1 against Freo. IIRC, he used his speed exceptionally well and took the game on. Made Freo chase and keep an eye on him whilst he was dangerous in the middle of the ground. (And whilst we were still somewhat in the contest.)

I've polished all the teak on the Hovercraft, and finished the blue flames on the bow. We just need to get a more heavy duty mounting base for the silver kangaroo ornament. All we need now is the great man himself back out on the field and firing. Fingers crossed we're Round One ready!

Have not given up on Hall. Thought he was unfairly dropped when it happened last year. Gave us some separation and carry - attributes we are sorely and obviously lacking. Hope to see him get a run in the next few weeks.

Probably because it’s technically “training”, not an AFL-organised practice match so they have to have it when the CBA says they’re allowed to have training sessions.
