Balta debuts. Weller and Lynch club debuts. Dusty at FF to start the game. If Jones was nervous before reckon he might have just shat himself

B: Rance Astbury Grimes
HB: Vlastui Houli Short
C: Edwards Cotchin McIntosh
HF: Rioli Butler Weller
F: Riewoldt Martin Lynch
R: Nankervis Prestia Lambert
IC: Balta Higgins Graham Broad
EMG: Soldo Ellis Markov Menadue
At a guess.Lynch is still in doubt.
Unless we want too see how we go with Lynch/Nank/Jack & Balta before Rnd 2.

Very happy to see Balta get a game and well done to Mav Weller on forcing his way into a strong side.
Caddy, Castagna, Grigg, B Ellis, Soldo, Markov, Menedue, Bolton, Garthwaite and a few others will be putting a heap of pressure on the incumbents.

If you replace Weller with Caddy that would be the perfect team for Round 1 - But very very happy
Spot on.

Obvious side to pick. Caddy is the big out. Automatic in when fit for Weller I'm guessing (or Balta if he tanks).

McIntosh, Grigg and Ellis will be competing for a wing spot all year. That's the only other spot you'd swap or can be argued if all were fit.

Tigers by 28.

Sorry to intrude!

What's with Ellis?

I don't think he's too bad at all. What's he doing wrong to not get a gig?
He's squeezed out by better performing players. Can only pick 22. Oh and he is a bit inclined to blind kick out of defence to opposition who are waiting to keep us hemmed in D50. Who then spot up an easy target 35m out

But but... I thought we had no depth?
