Here we go!

As of now I think it's (pending some injury tidbits):

B: Jetta* Dunn Garland*
HB: Salem TMac Bugg
C: MJones NJones Vince
HF: Watts Pedersen Harmes
F: Kent Hogan Garlett
R: Gawn Tyson Viney
Int: Oliver Frost Kennedy vandenBerg

(Jetta and Garland both got knocked today).

Cameron probably suspended after breaking Mathieson's cheekbone.

B. Jetta Dunn Garland
HB. Salem McDonald Lumumba
C. Vince Tyson vandenBerg
HF. Kennedy Watts Kent
F. Garlett Hogan Harmes
R. Gawn N. Jones Viney
Int. Bugg, Oliver, Brayshaw, Frost

I can't see how Pedersen doesn't get a week for that bump.
Brayshaw is maybe playing for Casey next week apparently. He's good enough to come straight in.
 
B Jetta Dunn Garland (all pending injury status?)
HB Salem TMcDonald Bugg
C Oliver NJones Vince
HF Kent Watts Harmes
F Garlett Hogan Frost
R Gawn Viney Tyson
Int Kennedy M Jones Lumumba Grimes

Vandenberg for Lumumba if fit
Brayshaw for Grimes if fit

Pedersen will be suspended, I suspect.

Probably forgotten someone.

Ugly after the fact but it was barely a bump, more of a collision where Pedo was chasing the ball and the St Kilda player slammed into his shoulder.

It was a bump that was head high. Automatic suspension. He'll get three weeks reduced to two with a guilty plea.
 
think Pedo should get low impact given the other bloke wasn't injured. looked bad but might get away with a week

apparently Matt Jones has some kind of jaw injury which is a shame, looked well in contention for rd 1
 
Goodwin saying Brayshaw will play next week at Casey, Brayshaw, Vandenberg and Dunn all available round 1
Dunn is walk-up. Is Brayshaw over Oliver?

Good problem to have though...

After being there today and predicting who I think will be fit I'm going with:

B: Jetta Dunn Garland
HB: Salem McDonald Vince
C: Bugg Jones Brayshaw
HF: Watts Pedo Kent
F: Garlett Hogan Kennedy
R: Gawn Viney Tyson
Int: Oliver Harmes VanDenberg Lumumba

Emg: Frost MJones Grimes

That was bloody tough thou and wouldn't be surprised to see Frost play for balance but unsure who would come out

Like that team and exactly how would run with it. (ideally ANB or Stretch for Lumumba but we cant have everything we want)

Suspect if its a choice of Frost or Pedo Roos will choose Frost though.

Both. With Oliver on the interchange bench (my concession to youth).

Once Petracca is finally released, and assuming he demonstrates even a portion of the talk around his ability, these pre game threads are going to become hellishly difficult.
 
I'm actually interested in the crowd numbers for round 1 to be honest. Last year we got about 35,000 to 36,000 in against the gold coast, a mostly Melbourne crowd i thought was impressive. Am curious if we will get the same amount or more this year when we face the Giants

ah Whoops, maybe i'm just remembering Nathan Jones tweet about it felt like a lot more. I thought it seemed like a lot for us, yet the atmosphere was pretty amazing. Well then i hope for this year we can pull 30k in
