---

In: Winderlich, Zaharakis, Myers, Lucas, Daniher, Davey
Out: Atkinson, Quinn, Houli

3 to be cut and then 2 become subs. It seems Houli is being rested, strong side though.

 

[daffo]

Great in's, bad news about Houli though.

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Yep, strong side. Looking forward to seeing Myers in action again. I reckon we should be able to get the job done fairly comfortably.

Brisbane's ins and outs:

OUT: Johnstone, Brennan, Rischitelli, Cornelius
IN: Proud, Leuenberger, Patfull, Bradshaw, Austin, Roe

 

[Bomberlicious]

What's the story with Atkinson?

I thought he was great last week, any injury concerns?

 

[Burzum]

Happy Myers is playing!!

 

[DaSawx]

What's the story with Atkinson?

I thought he was great last week, any injury concerns?

Maybe the coaching staff don't rate him as highly as some people on here do

 

[KINGBUDDY]

Great in's, bad news about Houli though.

For the game time he had last week i thought he did very well, One of your better players, might be resting his groins as he wouldnt want to push them to hard in febuary

 

[danzan22]

Maybe the coaching staff don't rate him as highly as some people on here do

If sheedy was still coaching he would of seen how well aktinson did in supercoach and would be an immediate starter.

 

[DaSawx]

If sheedy was still coaching he would of seen how well aktinson did in supercoach and would be an immediate starter.

Ben Cousins would probably be debuting Friday night as well

 

[Darealrath]

Brilliant to see Winder back, and the great man Lucas of course.

 

[yaco55]

Atkinson resting is part of the normal rotation during the pre-season.

 

[daffo]

From both teams ins and outs, we have a much stronger side going in. We should start favourites for the game.

 

[table tennis]

Atkinson resting is part of the normal rotation during the pre-season.

Correct, Atkinson played for the indigenous side the other week too, so he has had two good hit outs, time for a break. no need to push players this time of year.

im sure he will play the next game.

 

[Phat Toni]

Hard to pick how the team will line up throughout the NAB cup. Two of the 'outs' are a little surprising but all the 'ins' are good ones. Would like to see the team line up something like below.

20. Henry Slattery 31. Dustin Fletcher 33. Adam McPhee
15. Courtenay Dempsey 30. Patrick Ryder 17. Jay Nash
8. Jason Winderlich 4. Jobe Watson 13. Andrew Lovett
6. Angus Monfries 3. Scott Gumbleton 18. Matthew Lloyd
29. Alwyn Davey 1. Jay Neagle 7. Leroy Jetta
19. David Hille 10. Mark McVeigh 39. Heath Hocking

Bench
2. Ricky Dyson 21. Hayden Skipworth 25. Scott Lucas
44. Tom Bellchambers 23. David Myers 42. Nathan Lovett-Murray

Subs
36. Tyson Slattery 26. Cale Hooker

Left Out
11. David Zaharakis 28. Darcy Daniher 14. Sam Lonergan

 

[danzan22]

From Phat Tonis team, in Zaharakis out NLM

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Out Dyson, In: Anyone

 

[table tennis]

From Phat Tonis team, in Zaharakis out NLM

I reckon Zaharakis in Dyson out

 

[smcateer]

In: Lonergan, Delist: Dyson

 

[efcboy]

i'm not too fussed about putting in the best lineup out of that squad etc - the focus should be for R1.

with that in mind i would want the majority of winderlich, mcveigh, lloyd, hille, lucas, davey only playing half a game. for this to happen two of these guys should be named the subs (i'd suggest davey, lucas) and i would rest mcveigh and lloyd. hille then rotates with bellchambers playing half a quarter each etc and winderlich could do similar rotating on the wing.

 

[bombers2011]

I would think Dyson, Nat Rat and Nash will all struggle to hold a spot this year,
with the likes of Dempsey, Houli and Myers coming through.. It's good to have some semblance of depth starting to develop! (provided we stay relatively injury free).
What i would like to know is where the hell is Reimers? i can't seem to find an answer to that...

 

[danzan22]

In: Lonergan, Delist: Dyson

I rate this option

 

[Merv]

What i would like to know is where the hell is Reimers? i can't seem to find an answer to that...

He has had quad issues and they are taking it slowly with him.

 

[bombers2011]

He has had quad issues and they are taking it slowly with him.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease, it's been a long time since we saw him play (since his hammy against melbourne in august)

 

[wolfman5]

make no mistake we will dominate brisbane in every way and win by 8+ goals cos voss is rookie coach wile knights is more experienced

 

[Wanna B Hird]

make no mistake we will dominate brisbane in every way and win by 8+ goals cos voss is rookie coach wile knights is more experienced

So going on that theory the Saints should have beat Brisbane
