Whats the go with SNOS?
Injured? Surely its not a case of Ross not rating him or rating Dawson over him.

I am missing SNOS as well as JA??? What is going on there? Npot even named as an emergency? Mayne must be thanking his lucky stars.
Great to see Barlow and the big man in.

Jack was rehabbing today. I reckon he will be in as soon as he's fit.

I think Duffield had better show something this week and if he pulls out of any contests he would be on thin ice and can't believe they still think Johnson is a defender. Watch Geelong isolate him deep in the forward line and him getting beaten.
Am concerned with the pace of the Geelong small forwards and how many of them they have in the side...

Johnson's a tall flanker so they're not really competing for the same spot.Anyone tell me how Michael Johnson gets a game ahead of Alex Silvagni?
Please let me know....
Anyone?
If anything it's Dawson whose keeping Silvagni out.

His ability to rebound and disposal is far superior?

One is a KPD who has struggled with injuries throughout the pre-season - particularly during the all important NAB Cup - and fallen down the pecking order. The other is a versatile 3rd tall/flanker who completed the bulk of the pre-season, played a part in the NAB Cup and established himself in the best 22.
Unless your name is Luke McPharlin, Matthew Pavlich or Aaron Sandilands it's pretty f'n irrellevant what you have done in your career prior to Ross Lyon arriving. Exhibit A: Clancee Pearce.
I've been as critical of MJ over the years as anyone, but it's not hard to see why he was named in the side this week given what's happened over the last 5 months.
I've been pretty confident of our chances for this game since the fixture was announced, but now seeing the two teams side by side......... not so much.
One thing I'm please about is that we have what I'd see as our best forward line, assuming Ballantyne plays there for at least parts of the game.
Glad to see Bradley at FF, Mayne gets to play his favoured 3rd tall role and he and Mellington will add some significant forward pressure along with Ballas.
Pavlich is Pavlich and with Fyfe and Clarke drifting down there occasionally it should be pretty potent.
Should be expecting at least a few goals from Hill, Barlow, Crowley and Mzungu but it's how many goals we concede at the other end is what I'm most concerned with.

I hope the club plans to do this every week, good stuff.

SNOS & Jack aren't 100% and have been rehabbing. SNOS hasn't played a preseason game with Freo from memory.
They'll need to push their way back into the team via the WAFL to start the year. This is what happens when you have a full list to pick from, people. Plenty of notable outs, no Pitt, Mundy, Neale, Roberton, JVB etc.

i think suban will be the sub and i can't wait to see what mellington can do , he's a smart and fierce player. i would put him down for a couple i reckon, we got him in the draft for a bargin.
if he waited another season to enter the draft he would of been top 10 to 20 .
ja must have a slight injury concern and i'll tip him to play against theswans with mundy.
go boys can't wait

Agreed.
It is great to have such support in the wings. Jack, Mora, Griffin, SNOS to add to above, all eager and capable of coming in and will be pushing 22 to be on 'game'. Yes - Duff, Ibbo, MJ, Mayne and Subes that's you...
Pearce, Mello and Subes off interchange (one via sub) - will be nice IMPACT players
I find it astounding that Silvagni can´t make it. He was one of our best last year when he came back. Much better defender than Dawson.

Lyon playing favourites with Dawson? Or just that SNOS and Grover aren't quite 100%?
I'm guessing the latter - we need a healthy competition for spots
Am liking our spine though - Barlow starting will be unreal as it will be a great game to gauge how he has recovered etc.

I'd say the number of talls named is spot on and most of us would have Silvagni ahead of Anthony so Jack needs an injury/poor form from one or two players to get a game IMO.

Love the optimism but I think that is a big stretch. But then again it is impossiblee to know how he would of gone in this years last years TAC cup. Agree that if he plays a full game he could get a couple of goals.

I don't understand how Ross Lyon can say that you have to have match practice before you can walk in to this team but Sandi and Barlow get free passes. Does he not understand that Mundy is just as valuable as both of them if not more so. Does he not understand that Silvagni is a brilliant key defender?
Although, he probably doesn't have all of the say and there probably is a good reason why a couple of players are out.
