Thanks Shellz

Interesting to see Shae is named would ber very doubtful to play you'd imagine, although it is richmond.

Of the top of my head the missing: Davis, thomas, pendlebury, wood, brown.

Also good to see jack back

 

[Shellz]

Jack 'could' return according to the web site.

Think i might go have a look

 

[HFF]

As expected.

Many senior players returning, whilst many are rested.

Outs are Davis, Didak, Harry O, Thomas, Pendles, Wood, N.Brown, Beams, Johnson, Swan, Shaw, Toovey and Leigh Brown too.

Also my man Rus is also out. VFL run beckons for him this week.

 

[Lensen]

Very weak side.

Anthony's in but you can add Didak, O'Brien, Swan, Shaw as top quality outs to your list.

Just wish it wasn't at 4 so I could go see the big Yank

 

[absy]

Definitely go have a look now, not the strongest side but keen to see some of the new recruits. I hope they play Shae!

 

[charmer]

This might be the week they'll be trying a "big 3" forward line with Cloke, Anthony and Dawes with Fraser rotating.

I'd like to see it line up as

HF: Medhurst Cloke Lockyer
FF: Dawes Anthony Sinclair

with Hunter rotating in there as well as Shae if he plays.

 

[Zahki]

Interesting side, missing some key players but still strong enough to handle Richmond you'd think. Shae being picked is a shocker, hope he plays.

 

[TradeDraft]

Who is:

32. Travis Cloek

 

[Muse]

My man big Shae Mac!! God I hope he plays aha, does anyone know if Trent Cockchin's playing for the Tiges? I'm really lazy and cbf checking squads lol

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Who is:

32. Travis Cloek

That should be Travis Van Den Cloek, our new Dutch recruit. They're big lads, our European buddys.

Don't know why everyone is saying this is a 'weak' side. It's just a different side.

If there's any perfect time to test out team dynamics, it's this and next week before the good stuff starts happening. I'm keen to see how they reshuffle the midfield!

Good lord, we're going to get spanked [assuming they name a similar side to last week]. Ah well, at least we can see some kids in action.

 

[mattys123]

Damn if that's the AFL side, how weak is the VFL side going to be the next day, 2-3 listed players and a few rookies I'd say.

The Tigers are apparently leaving a heap out too after their great win over the Geelong juniors last week.

Will be there to see this though, no guarantee we will play in Melbourne next week, so might be the last chance to see a "real" game before round 1.

 

[jonesy86]

Will be interesting to see if Shae gets a game, you'd assume Jolly and Fraser will play, if Wood was fit would he have played? and will Shae be given a chance in his role?

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Good lord, we're going to get spanked

Really? Consider this as a structure:-

B: Maxwell | Prestigiacomo | Goldsack
HB: Sinclair | Reid | Buckley
C: McCarthy | Wellingham | Barham
HF: Lockyer | Van den Cloek | Sidebottom
F: Medhurst | Anthony | Dawes
Foll: Ball | Fraser | O'Bree
I/C: Fraser | Cook | Corrie | Macaffer

With Barham/Cook rotating, McCarthy/Corrie, Fraser/Cloek/Jolly, Macaffer/Sidebottom/McCarthy all rotating you'd think that looks a pretty solid lineup.

Two down and dirty hard-ball getters giving to Wellingham, Barham and McCarthy who are all handy on their toes delivering into a forward line where Medhurst/Sidebottom can crumb...

I reckon it'll be a very interesting experiment

I say Shae would play FF if plays on Friday Night

 

[Brodeywa]

Good to see Francis getting a run.

No Blight still which im surprised at...

 

[The Dawes]

I say Shae would play FF if plays on Friday Night

Pretty unlikely - possibly only if 2 of Dawes, Cloke and Anthony don't play.

Weak Tigers Side those knightwheelrqr will be happy to see his Favourite Player in Troy Taylor

 

[Barnzy]

Good lord, we're going to get spanked [assuming they name a similar side to last week]

I don't think you will, this team is about 50% weaker than the one that beat Geelong last week. I think we're just putting players on rotation and checking out the list, a lot of our players named I didn't expect to get a game. After this, nearly our whole list will have played. No Deledio, Cotchin, Martin, Riewoldt, Newman, Cousins, Tambling, Nahas etc. Could be a big win for you guys.

 

[HFF]

The best part about our line-up is we get to see a 3-pronged tall attack in Jack-Cloke-Dawes. (That is, if Jack plays).

In the season proper I prefer Rus to Dawes but I still like us to go with the 3-genuine tall forwards (not resting ruckman).

 

[mattys123]

The little rat is playing, Jake King, sweet, more then 1 chance to have a go at the little shit this year.

 

[PHX]

If we have it our way this will be the only chance you get all year!

 

[mattys123]

I agree, how he gets any games at AFL level is beyond me.

Hahahahahaha. From this day forward, I shall refer to him as Van den Cloek.

Still a solid side
