I'd say they'll go with at least one of Blake or Rix as well.

 

[The Punter]

I think they'll leave Eddy, McQualter, Allen & Rix out.

 

[St DAC]

I'd be surprised if Max plays.

 

[Squizz]

So would I - Rix in for Max. Adelaide could potentially play tall - McGregor (195cm), Moran (199), Griffin (202), and Tippett (201), Burton plays tall so we need cover for him as well (one of the Sams).

Also, when will they work out we have two Gardiners?

Milney has been given a bit of a hurry up with selection on the bench. I thought he was pretty undisciplined against Essendon, but then he snagged two goals (and could easily have had three).

 

[St DAC]

Blake in for Max for mine. Move Sam Fisher to FB and Blake to CHB. I can't see where Rix would fit in; he's neither a ruckman nor a defender. Or, frankly, a footballer, although that's one of those harsh-but-true calls that seem unnecessarily cruel to a bloke who gives 100% of his very limited skillset to each and every game.

You could say exactly the same for Blake. They're both as shit as each other. Give Jarryd Allen another game.

Disagree.

Blake is a good player, and one most teams have.

He'll play every game this year, provided he isn't injured.

 

[sauce_head]

I was thinking the same thing!

 

[HoldenMCaulfield]

and two Clarkes...

 

[mick13]

Whoa whoa whoa, whos the other Clarke?

 

[St DAC]

Not so. Blakey ain't the best, but he's light years in front of the sub standard ability of Rix. For a start he can take a contested mark, and hit a target by both hand and foot. Not all the time I grant you, but more often than not. He can play back, midfield and half forward, and pinch hit as a ruckman. He's a jack of all trades, master of none player. Rix is just a master of none.

If Rix plays senior footy this year it should be as a bash-and-crash ruckman because our other choices are unavailable.

 

[Squizz]

and two Clarkes...

Touche!!!

Could make it difficult if a Gardiner and/or a Clarke are dropped - you'd have to go elsewhere to find out which one.
