You'd imagine that the 22 to man up in Round 1 will come from this 26 man squad.
The unlucky 4 I would drop are:
Moore, Grundy, Jack, White
I would play Grundy ahead of Brennan. Especially coming up against a tall St.Kilda team. From all reports Grundy was sensational in defence against Port Adealide a few weeks back. That would allow LRT to play in the ruck as he's done in this pre season.

Im not so sure. Jack is the perfect replacement for Crouch and White will be needed in the Ruck as the other Ruck choices (LRT and Richards) will have their hands full with a very powerful St Kilda forward line.

A bit sad that Jack and White are off the team. And interesting quote from Roosy, thanks to Sanecow. So I guess White won't be helping Jolly in the ruck against the Saints. It'll be up to Richards and LRT.

I bought some sandals for the brisbane game at the gabba, they were really good on the night.

Do you think they will be ok in less tropical Canberra conditions?

Any help would be appreciated

I know it isnt going to happen but i want White, Bird and Jack to all play in the Round 1 game.

Without taking the time to contemplate who would miss out if these three played, I would love to see these three and possibly Barlow as well, all play in the first game.

They seem to be showing enough to deserve selection and they would certainly help freshen up the team

i'd think moore, brennan and jack are three of four who'd come out, if indeed the round 1 22 come from the 26 playing tomorrow
personally, i'd rather moore OR jack played ahead of mcveigh, but there's no point going on about him much any more
i would like to see both grundy and white play in round 1, as long as at least one of them does, and i wouldn't think bevan (or is that paul barry) was any certainty, although he seems to have been okay in preseason
