Article in today's Bully with Joyce, saying competition is super tight to get into Thursday squad. Prelude to Rocket's Rd1 team. Exciting to see which 26 get the nod... and who then earn best 22 for Rd1.

Can't wait to see Lyons, feel like he's gonna be a real important player for us this year

Totally agree

 

[princy_99]

Totally agree

Might be pushing it but if he has 25 and kicks a goal a game we will win most games with stats like that

 

[Grandsun]

is lynchy playing?

 

[Young_Guns]

Rischa, Day and Harbrow the only players unavailable for this one according to Michael Whiting.


Can't wait to see the final list. Going to be a few disappointed players me feels. Extra motivation hopefully.

 

[thurls64]

Crows will be shitty they let him go with CEY going down

 

[LynchysMob]

How weird does it feel to be talking about team availability in this way? I'm ******* euphoric. Leaving the office early for this one.

Article in the Bully today confirming Martin playing up forward with Gaz this week.

*!!! I thought it was on Friday night

Only the AFL would schedule a match at 4:50pm on a Thursday. It's like they don't want people to show up.

Stoked to see how we'll go with a near full strength side against the premiers. Hoping Brodie and Ah Chee have big games to cement their spots for round 1.

Matera dropped!!
Delicious!!

Some interesting choices/non-choices.
Still no TMac. Lonergan not picked. Leslie, Schoenfield and Grant a bit of a surprise.

 

[Scotty_222]

The surprise guys would be first dropped.
I'd say Joyce schoenfield and possibly a ruck or grant to be dropped

I wouldn't drop a ruck as that would force Wright or Lynch into the ruck if Witts gets injured

I think the 3 you mentioned are spot on

I would go into this game as if it was round 1.
I dont think we will play 2 rucks. Wright will help out, we should play as such.

 

[JRyan23]

Suprised MacPherson got dropped

 

[Skav]

Lonergan is pretty stiff, As is TMac (if available). Clearly Matera has played himself out of his spot and Ainsworth into it!

5 of these 27 to be cut for round one makes me think:
Currie
Joyce
Scheonfield

With these guys playing for the final 2 defensive spots (3rd Tall / HBF)
Leslie / Bowes / KK

Forward Line:
Grant to be given a half to see how we go playing tall, GAJ to be given a half playing small

 

[Skav]

Also the Bulldogs changes from the grand final squad (25):

Out: Hamling (Freo), Morris (inj), Roughhead (inj), Campbell (dropped)
Ins: Cloke, Murphy, English, Adams, Crameri, Dale, Williams

This squad is stronger then the premiership team. Great test prior to round 1

Unless Rocket hasn't made his mind up yet for the #1 ruck?

Seemed like it was Witts spot to lose, but then Currie really stood up in game 2.

Delicious!!

Brayden in, Brandon out - this club might be going places now
