Time to get a preview thread going I think.
Huge round one game with how tough our draw is this year. These are the 50-50 games we have to win.
Giants are a little hard to read. They've lost some very good players but still have plenty of quality in that side.
GWS without Preuss means they'll have a debutant ruckman which should mean a dominant day for Ryder and they will also be without Lachie Whitfield
for the start of the year.
Surprisingly for me though, they are $1.65 favourites for the game.
Most of our 22 looks pretty set depending on fitness but there are one or two spots up for grabs.
Unavailable - Geary, Paton, Marshall, Crouch, Frawley
Touch and go - Jones, Hannebery
This is the way I would go
Wilkie - Howard - Webster
Sinclair - Carlisle - Coffield
Billings - Steele - Hill
Higgins - Battle - Membrey
Lonie - King - Butler
Ryder - Clark - Gresham
Ross, Long, McKernan, Jones*
Emg: Hunter, Bytel, Wood, Highmore
