Sorry to intrude, but has Ed Barlow been promoted to the senior list?

Hadn't heard about that at all...
 
I didnt think Lib would be named this early.

As glad as I am to see Gilbee out, shame about my SC team. Time to trade :p
 
Not that im aware of but the paperwork only needs to be lodge when he is selected and its good to go. I believe we have 1 spot available to elevate atm but i thought Hahn would be the one to be upgraded
 
Its good to see Stack being giving a run on the half back flank id like to see a number 18 take charge again

Cheers, mate. And yeh would be interested to hear if Vez is injured. Certainly would have thought he was gonna get a game before Barlow.
 
Congratulations to Lucas Markovic and Tom Liberatore on being selected to debut. Really looking forward to seeing Tom in particular at the top level, and Lucas gets a well earned chance to show what he can do at this level.

While Tom is not a suprise based on his pre season form, I am suprised we have selected another inside mid.

Lucas did perform well in a couple of practice matches and is the obvious replacement for Lake, again, I think we needed to be smaller and quicker. It does allow Dale Morris to play small I guess.

Jones, well...highly tipped on here by the majority, again, based on his form and the fact that I think we need more smaller quicker options I think we have erred here. Hope I'm wrong and the boy tares them apart.

Minson has to play. Picken certainly. Sherman I think should play . I would have thought Hill on form should be in. Djerrkurra I thought was great in the preseason, but he might be in trouble if Barlow is elevated they would be expecting to play him surely? I doubt Wallis gets in this week. So the 4th spot is out of Sherman, Djerrkura and Hill......

Gilbee is a loss and Stacky has big job. I'm relieved that Lake is not playing and that they have learned from last year.

Well...I must say...pretty surprised by the team. I'm thinking all week we need speed and more speed. Instead we have gone the other way....

Hate to say it, but I don't like it. I think we have got it wrong. I'll be very disappointed if we get done for pace.

NOT STACK! Every week people ask to give him another chance, but what has he done ever to warrant it?? We arn't going anywhere with him in our 22.

On a positive note, very happy to see libba playing! and jones too!

sad to see no Ves, something must be wrong, and sadly its a day after i put the number 32 on my jumper :(

i hope DJ plays, i really think he will take the chance and relish in the spotlight, looks like a player that strives on pressure, ala Buddy Franklin, and if the coaches give him the gig, he'll be more then up to it.

Im also excited to see Marko. Imagine if he was the wildcard of the season, and we could get a functionable Back 50 with him, Lake and Williams in it. Marko takes the slow gorrilas or resting ruckman, Lake plays as a spare man in defence, chopping off eveyrthing, whilst Willo takes the mobile talls. Morris then gets to play on the smalls, and Woody, Gilbee, and Smurphy can be the dash and run. That'd be amazing.
 
Its good to see Stack being giving a run on the half back flank id like to see a number 18 take charge again

Will be interesting to see how he goes of a half back.
 
Played there for Willi for a long time before being moved to the forwrad line. Has done well in the practise matches off HB

How does he go defensively? Doesn't seem as laconic as a Hill, though haven't noticed his defensive game before.

Ed Barlow and not Veszpremi? Didn't see that coming.

likewise...very interesting. I swear someone said he was injured though? Liberatore must have had a very impressive pre season.
 
If Barlow gets a gig along with Stack in side we will have 2 players who are literally afraid of physical contact in our team....:( Our backline looks very shaky for this game, better dominate the middle.
