[Warwick]

Tme for our 2nd tier mids to push for a spot against a competitive midfield. No Black, Power, or Rich.

Time for Albert Proud to show something.

 

[Dylan12]

Are these NAB Challenge matches similar to football (soccer) friendlies in that you can essentially play however many players you want in a given game or is it capped similar to last week (24 players with 2 subs)?

 

[CarloLion]

Wow, channel 10 (or 7, whichever it is) will be spewing if Fev plays..
Brilliant.

 

[whizkizz]

Basically..

In: Brown, Drummond, Clark, Maguire, Raines, Proud
Out: Merrett, Adcock, Rich, Leuenberger, Staker

Other noticeable absentees would be Black, Power, McGrath and Sheldon.


Could look something like this..

FB: Patfull, Cornilieus, Hawskley
HB: Collier, Maguire, Drummond
C: Buchanon, Brennan, Johnstone
HF: Banfield, Brown, Polkinghorne
FF: Selwood, Fevola, Rockliff
R: Clark, Sherman, Redden
INTER: Charman, Rischitelli, Austin, Stiller, Proud, Hanley, Harwood, Dyson, O'Brien, Beams,

 

[GabbaGirl]

Does anyone know if there's likely to be any radio coverage?

 

[whizkizz]

Would be very interesting to see who would captain the side if Brown doesn't play. The rest of the leadership group is out. Would leave Fev or Charmo?

I guess that means he's playing!!!

 

[whizkizz]

Does anyone know if there's likely to be any radio coverage?

Not sure, but there will definitely be a few twitter/bigfooty updates floating around. Sounds like there's a few of us going.

 

[whizkizz]

AFL site has listed 29 players in the lineup:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/89851/default.aspx

Herald Sun only listed 25 players:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/nab-cup-squads-round-2/story-e6frf9jf-1225833861328

Herald Sun are coincidentally missing the last four numbers, Drummond, Hanley, Beams and Cornelius.


Carlton are fielding a very strong outfit. They're really only missing Murphy and Waite.

 

[Grimreepah]

Potential Lineup:

B: Drummond, Maguire, Raines
HB: Hawksley, Patfull, Johnstone
C: Redden, Brennan, Stiller
HF: Sherman, Brown, Polkinghorne
F: Buchanan, Fevola, Rockliff
Fs: Clark, Proud, Rischitelli

I: Charman, Selwood, Austin, Banfield, Collier, Harwood, Dyson, O'brien, Hanley, Beams, Cornelius

 

[tancas]

Would like to see Rista match up on Judd

 

[Hollow Knight]

Go the Goose!

Maguire on Hendo could be interesting.

 

[whizkizz]

Goose to get the job on Hendo?

If Goose had a ripper that would really stick it up em'


EDIT: damn your fast browndog

 

[Grimreepah]

Some possible matchups:

Maguire - Henderson
Jamison - Fevola
Thornton - Brown
Clark - Kreuzer
Judd - Redden

 

[DeMerrett]

Sheldon still no go
No Power
No Adcock
No Rich
Staker dropped?
Still no Black
No Merrett
No Berger

If we win this, with all that experience and class out, good luck to Carlton come round 2..

 

[Antman78]

just SMS'ed SEN and they said they don't cover practice matches but they will do a report of the game

 

[Mr Ripper]

With Fev named and presumably playing, the match will no doubt receive a fair amount of media coverage - after the event. FSN, Sports Tonight, etc.

 

[Nuggo]

With Fev playing against Carlton I reckon it is mandatory for every Vic supporter to try and get to the game. 4 pm start and car parking will be an issue though.

Go Fev.

Good luck to Goose.

 

[lionroar]

I better leave work earlier Friday arvo, now that JB & Fev are playing.

Anyone going to the Bulldogs vs Hawks game Friday night?
It's going to be like a Saturday during the H&A season, 2 games in one day.
Fan-bloody-tastic!

 

[Dylan12]

Wow, channel 10 (or 7, whichever it is) will be spewing if Fev plays..Brilliant.

It's a pity they don't show these games. I am sure some of the commentators need as much practice as the players. As someone mentioned before, I wouldn't care if there was only one camera and some 15 year old kid commentated...hell, Kelly Underwood needs the practice (tough call) but you get the point I am trying to make...the interest in footy these days is unprecedented and at least warrants coverage, even on the net.

 

[Axel.]

10,000+ are expected for Friday.

How many people can Visy Park fit.

 

[Monster]

wikipedia says Visy Park's capacity is 35k
