[manboob]

Right, I've had enough foreplay and AFL-X. Let's get on it! Friday, March 1.

Who is in your team? What are you looking forward to? I wanna see the kids and the mature-aged rookies and Ablett up forward though I guess we won't see him to Round 1.

 

[Hood007]

Can't wait for Thursday night melts over the squad/team...

you mean like the danger cheer ?

you mean like the danger cheer ?

Exactly.

 

[Turbocat]

Exactly.

I think that would be a bad case of premature exultation.

At least ours was the last 30 seconds of the last round .

The WC crowed can be very rabbit Turbo,expect the unexpected from that drug fueled lot.

Wouldn't that just have them stomping their feet?

My pick at the squad, which will probably be a mile off who ends up boarding the plane to Perth:

Parfitt, Clark, Taylor, Kolodjashnij, Kelly, J.Selwood, S.Selwood, Ratugolea, Constable, Narkle, Rohan, Bews, Hawkins, Menegola, Fort, Atkins, Cunico, Miers, Dangerfield, Simpson, Henry, Dahlhaus, Jones, O'Connor, Abbott, Blicavs.

Can see us lining up like this:

B: Bews Blicavs Henry
HB: O'Connor Taylor Clark
C: Parfitt J.Selwood Narkle
HF: Rohan Hawkins Dahlhaus
F: Miers Ratugolea Atkins
Foll: Fort Dangerfield Kelly
Int: Abbott Constable Jones Menegola Simpson Kolodjashnij Cunico S.Selwood

Rested/missing: Stanley, Tuohy, Ablett, Cockatoo, Smith, Jarvis, Buzza, Fogarty, Kreuger, Brownless, Kennerley, Duncan, Henderson, C.Guthrie, Tarca, Parsons, Schlenslog, Z.Guthrie, Okunbor, Stewart

I think I've spent too much time in front of computer screens today's as I read the bench as being Abbott Costello....

 

[Down at K Park]

With only 2 games, and new rule changes, it has been said already that we will be using a near best 22 squad. Don’t expect many kids in the team unless they are being considered for rnd 1 selection. Might see constable, clark or atkins but probably not many more. Might be an extended bench though? Which may allow a couple extras.

I read all that were fit would get a run.. with expanded squads..?

I hope so as it's a tough start to the season which includes a 5 day turn around early on,we may rotate a few players through the best 22 in the first half of the year.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

If Bews and Tuohy are not fit for round 1 it’s going to be interesting little battle for those small defender roles. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Selwood down there.

small and medium defender ..

Stewart , Blitz , Kolo
CGuthrie , Taylor , Henderson , Henry

then Clarke , Rohan , MOC , ZGuthrie ,... I wonder if one of the smalls that have played forward will get a go in D like Jones ? What about Cunico..has hardly been mentioned over the PreSeason..

Just as well we don't have Ollie Wines playing for us- we could have Stanley, Oliver

 

[Larry Donohue]

No time for resting

Bews Blicavs Stewart
Clark Taylor Henry
Duncan Selwood Kelly
Rohan Hawkins Menegola
Dahlhaus Ratagolea Ablett
Stanley .Danger Parfitt
Fort Atkins S.Selwood Constable Cunico

Next in line Brownless Guthrie Zuthrie Simpson Miers Abbott

Injuries
Cockatoo Henderson Fogarty Tuohy Smith

 

[Vdubs]

Nobody including Parsons?
- he should be up and about from training form.

That backline is too tall for my liking agree Cguthrie will probably be one player who covers Tuohy. We need someone who can lockdown like Bews if he doesn’t get up for the first game. Clarke should get a go in the jlt but I think Scooter could play the role or Atkins. Some may be concerned about pace but they are smart and strong players.

 

[catpremier 07]

Keen as, please no injuries. Interested to see how the rule changes effect play. Cant even remember all the changes they brought in other then the kick ins and 6-6-6

He has JLT to show something or it maybe a tough year

 

[Drunkcat]

Can have 8 on the bench so some kids will get a game.

I agree it looks tall but I suspect that it might be something like it... although I think Hendo is not fit? Id prefer to have another small to replace Bews but I dont see him. atm. As I said I think one of the small forwards may have to start looking at alternates ...especially this year as Ablett will take a spot. Can Jones learn the role. Maybe SS but I suspect he will be in the middle. Id be happy enough to have an unproven like Clarke get a go.. as Im all for youth getting a go if they are ready.

 

[Vdubs]

The year is long, plenty of time given any team's injury history, ours no exception. He'd have to be in contention before some of the newbies that are mentioned in this thread, from what I hear.

Newbies? Like who do you have in mind?
We will see.. if he can find a way to kick a few goals it will help..
