I know you are just goofing around because you have Masten in the team instead of playing for EP. But you also have Priddis twice, Brown is retired, no Gov???, Petrie and Mcinnes? And Shuey on the Bench? Does the c next to Mastens name mean c@#t?
No it means campaigner coz Masto doesn't give a **** what you think of him. ;) also Priddis is so fast that he's only actually named once, just looks like it's twice.

Backline - Gov, Barrass,Schofield, Mackenzie (3 max)
Forward line - Kennedy, Darling (2)
Rucks - Naitanui, Lycett, Giles, Vardy, Petrie (2 max)

Resting ruck can play as a third tall and gov can rotate forward depending on matchups / game situation

As others have said anymore than 7 is madness and arguably 7 is one too many
With Yeo, Rotham and Gorter, we are developing a few players that have pace and can play tall (they are all over 190 cm and strong marking/contesting above their head). When we are looking to increase our leg speed, then I would be going for just 6 of the talls you mention.

All 3 ruckmen (Naitanui, Lycett, Giles) have the ability to go forward and provide a target up forward and impact the scoreboard. The inclusion of Vardy and Petrie will allow us to have a genuine KPF that can ruck. This was one of the reasons I was keen on Darcy Cameron in the draft as he showed an ability at Claremont in the last 2 years to increase his production in the forward line (he was already a good ruckman).

Who seriously doesn't understand why rucking Gov is a bad idea ? And seriously, Barrass had a few good games and one blinder and most on here think he is ready to be our No 1 key defender? The boy obviously has heaps of talent, but slowly slowly eh ? And DONT ruck Gov!
I think as much as its a vote of confidence for young Barrass, it's more of an indictment on how woeful Ezy was coming back last year. You are right though, still a full consistent season away from really proving himself. Let's hope he is as good as he looks like he's going to be.

I am really enjoying Keys and Fivey putting the hard word on the club via twitter.

I have it on good authority that the Board is scrambling for justifiable answers.
On 6PR this morning Hackdorn and Zempilarse were speculating that it might be the feeling of intrusion they've had this year at Wembley - said there were media there all the time and they weren't happy Barrass' awkward landing got caught on camera.

Today's training report

Club has defaulted to Kremlin mode

I'm reliably told that inside the club, members are referred to as mushrooms. They certainly treat their fans as if they are
Have been reliably informed that they're trialling a new improved version of the Web. Now 83% webbier!

They obviously don't want opposition moles getting in and blowing the whole thing.

So members are considered as a wonderful drug that releases the club's collective mind from reality.

Sounds about right.
