Sellwood and Jaques both in

Bevo baits the traps.

 

[Zevon]

Stick a headband on Sellwood and he looks like he should be playing for Geelong like his single-L namesake used to.

Liam Reidy named.

Jordan Boyd an emergency which makes Zac Williams at half back a much more secure role. Only small defenders in the lineup are Florent, Saad, Williams and O. Hollands (although named on a wing).

reidy named makes a good case for McAndrew as r2 umm

 

[Lukesera]

How good is it not having to worry about who's going to be the sub!

 

[RavensFever]

yep thats by far the best thing they could have done, just wish they would get rid of opening round and early byes next year

 

[Barrybran]

Now we only have to worry about who is going to get on the ground a decent amount

 

[Exambolor]

Phoenix Gothard to debut this weekend

I’d imagine his JS would be decent with the GWS injuries

 

[Barrybran]

He's a forward at least

 

[Exambolor]

Dale named for the Dogs with Sellwood and Jaques, ok signs for JS if they’re in with Dale

 

[Lukes bike Pedlar]

Anyone else try and look at who the subs were for tonight?

 

[Zevon]

Anyone else try and look at who the subs were for tonight?

I’ll give you 20 million dollars if you or anybody else can guess who will be sub tonight and get it right

 

[stallon]

I’ll give you 20 million dollars if you or anybody else can guess who will be sub tonight and get it right

Do you mean for the footy or just in general?

 

[TedDougChris]

Do we not get green dots on the site anymore ?

Or am I just doing the shit new interface wrong again ?

 

[DenieD]

Dale named for the Dogs with Sellwood and Jaques, ok signs for JS if they’re in with Dale

I still think the one who performs worse will be dropped next week.
