named as a follower too, oof.

 

[freo84]

Stoked with that team.

No excuses at all.

 

[Jezzitizle]

Happy with that.

Had a heart attack when young wasn’t on the field.

Apart from Cox, Freddy and Ryan, any other names missing?

 

[sumavich]

Darcy's turn to justify his $
Cox breathing down his neck.
That's good imo

 

[YelloMit]

Will Brodie.

Oh wait.

JOM

 

[Quazar2]

Good side I like it. Little bit mystified by the selections of Dudley and Driz, but hopefully they play well - didn't even play Dudley in the practice games from memory (?). Perhaps he's a secret weapon J-Lo needed to unleash and keep hidden from Geelong, just show them the 'vanilla' (???)

 

[FreoRicci]

Strong team.
NOD really needs to step up. Doesn’t deserve a spot but it’s either him or Banfield.

 

[mike91]

Noddy......gee whiz.

Guess they want Dris as next wing in with JOM out.

He’s a combative passionate guy, probably not a bad option in a game that won’t be won or lost on the outside.

 

[Alfonz]

Genuinely surprised with NOD and Dudley over Banfield and Murray considering the minutes played against Adelaide.

Maybe. Justin's record in Round 1s to date: 2-6.

Loaded up on experience. Justin wants the win, and Geelong (away) probably requires all the experience you can muster, probably why there's no player-debuts (despite Reid's miracles last year...)

 

[King Huskii]

Genuinely surprised with NOD and Dudley over Banfield and Murray considering the minutes played against Adelaide.

Maybe Banfield didn't impress enough with minutes played

 

[noise36]

Duds or noddy done anything to earn selection?

Hopefully we see what mcvee is all about seen nothing exciting yet.

Consider that 7 games was away games, it’s not as bad. By the way no fan of JL.

Home 1-0
Away 1-6

 

[StingBitten]

In what world does Luke Ryan miss out due to selection? Interrupted pre-season or not.

JOM no longer preferred?

my bad, I meant 2-4.

6 Round 1 games (to date) is where I muddled myself. Here's hoping it will amend to 3-4

Home 1-0
Away 1-6

Yes, I think that's a fair call. 6 of them have been on the road, it's a point I've yammered on about before.

 

[Quazar2]

Not sure what's going on with Ryan. Might be a bit more to it than just lack of pre-season, although he did have shoulder surgery.

Pretty sure JOM is now injured it was reported on here somewhere (?)

 

[s_wd6]

A world of huge improvement

 

[Docker82]

A world of huge improvement

Wonder if our ball movement looks significantly better without him. Reckon it's quite possible.

A little concerned Dangerfield will be too strong for our medium defenders tbh.

 

[FreoBraddles]

In what world does Luke Ryan miss out due to selection? Interrupted pre-season or not.

JOM no longer preferred?

JOM did his hammy on Tuesday.

Ryan, may or may not have been picked anyway, but was sent home from training today as he was unwell.

 

[2big2strom]

Darcy building minutes against a debutant seems alright to me. Hope NOD has his kicking boots on

 

[Big Animal]

age profile looking a little different this year. Finally entering the start of the window where most old enough and experienced enough. Only Reid under 22 and he plays like no other his age. Our midfield are entering their prime years.

Reid (19) Treacy (23) Bolton (27)

Swit (29) PP (22) Wombat (22)

MJ (22) Baesure (26) Wags (28)

Nanny (22) Pearce (30) Clark (25)

Chappie (24) Bridget (29) Worner (23)

Darcy (27) LJ (24) Serong (25)

Chris' bro (23) Nev (22) NOD (23) Ras (22) Young (24)

 

[E Shed]

Was hoping for Murray and Scerri in place of NOD and Wombat but its nice to back the incumbents I guess.
Worner is obviously highly rated internally.

I hope Draper can fight his way back. He's class.
