Surprised that some of the clubs are going with 26 players for the game but it may mean they can limit the minutes of players if required and if any niggles occur
I am assuming it will be a Thursday 6/6.30 team announcement

Your club's draftees: Who's flying, who's R1 ready, who needs time?
Our reporters give you the lowdown on how the players from the class of 2019 are tracking ahead of this season
www.afl.com.au
Lachie Ash (NAB AFL Draft, No.4 overall)
The running half-back played big minutes in last week's match simulation hitout against the Swans and will continue his push for a round one debut in Saturday's Marsh Community Series clash against Sydney.
Tom Green (NAB AFL Draft, No.10 overall)
Impressive as an inside midfielder against Sydney last week, the Academy product has settled easily into life in the AFL. Played plenty of NEAFL footy last year and has the big body to feature early.
Jake Riccardi (NAB AFL Draft, No.51 overall)
The tall forward played the second half against the Swans last week and kicked two goals. As a mature-aged recruit with senior footy under his belt, Riccardi could be a smoky to see some senior games in 2020.
Thomas Hutchesson (NAB AFL Draft, No.65 overall)
Another older draftee, the midfielder is ferocious at the opposition and showed he has good leg speed against the Swans last week. A long way back in the queue of onballers at GWS but has the maturity and tools to make an impact if he's given a chance.
Who could play in round one?
Ash and Green will both be heavily considered you'd think, especially if they can show some form during the Marsh Community Series, but in recent times – aside from Tim Taranto - this team has been extremely tough to break into for draftees early in the year. These two could buck the trend. – Adam Curley

Is it just Hopper and Mumford missing (outside of Ward and the rep players)

Keen to see how Briggs goes. Hopefully gets decent opportunity to show his wares in the ruck

The interview with Sauce makes me think he will. Seemed to get high praise.

Giants starred. Johnno brown revved Toby up at 3/4 time, then he kicked 3 goals in 10 mins
No injuries to both teams
Loved the concept.

Achilles tightness as far as I'm aware. It was the plan to rest him for the first Marsh series match to manage the load.

The Bushfire Relief match was a decent hitout for those 6 players selected. Although lacking in the defensive side of the game, it was a great chance to blow the cobwebs out and worked nicely on their running and offensive aspects. All those players will be better for the run, and it allows us to try some extra players in today's pre-season game. Cogs, Kelly, Whitfield, Greene & Haynes all looked in excellent shape & touch. Jezza had a lot of game time but didn't really get amongst it - but it wasn't really a game for the KPFs and I thought he wasn't used to his optimal advantage. Still, he looked fresh so no worries with him.
Today's game will give those next-level midfielders an opportunity to shine - noting 3 absolute guns to come back in. One would hope they are all primed to work hard. With 28 being able to play on the extended bench, most of the fit & pressing-for-top-30 players will have had a run this weekend. I don't care about the result itself, just that we have no injuries and all of the players show some decent skills & development from last year.

That sucks. Looks like a bad structural injury -
Couldn't even get through 10 mins of the first Marsh cup game without a serious injury. Sigh
