The Team!

[DonMania#5]

B: Slattery Fletcher Michael
HB: M Johnson Lucas McPhee
C: Winderlich Peverill McVeigh
HF: Hird Ryder Welsh
F: Davey Lloyd Jetta

R: Hille Lovett Stanton

INT: Bradley Bolton Dyson Johns NLM Monfries Watson

All players are in weird positions. Expect the first three from the bench to be cut.

I'll go out on a limb here and say Pev, Slattery and Bolton will be omitted.

Whats the status of NLM at the moment ?
Any injury concerns ?

 

[boomer37]

why is bolton even in the squad for this week. he did not even play in any of the senior practise games. if he gets games this year we will be no good again.

why is heffernan not in the squad ? injured?

Can't only blokes from the bench be omitted ?

I'd cut the first 3 like DonMania#5 said.

Swapping Watson for Pev into that midfield would be good. Some nice pace and disposal in there.

 

[mattdavies_03]

I don't see Jetta and Ryder starting over Jobe and Gus, otherwise a good team. Does anyone know how far away our other rookies are? Gumbles and Hislop?

 

[Kaiser Powser]

Sheedy must be up to his old tricks with that line-up.

Very strange positions;

Surely you wouldn't start both Davey and Jetta on the ground.

Lucas at CHB?

Watson is surely centre or RR/Rover.

Intresting Line up


Its also gonna be intresting to see which 3 miss out!

 

[thebigboy]

Personally id like to see bolton, peverill miss out. I dont think they can give us much and they'd be holding back young kids.

Not sure who the third to drop out will be, probably Bradley

 

[Barts]

In all honesty I wouldnt be suprised if we saw that line up.

But obviously Jetta will start on the pine and Watson will be on the ground.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Geez... can't we for once just put up a team that resembles what we will actually field.

I've had enough of this crap.

 

[Smokin]

may as well have listed the 25 players in alphabetical order.

 

[GoDons]

Great to see Jetta there. The guy's got super talent and for Sheeds to have the confidence to throw him staright in is a very positive sign.

 

[Daytripper]

i can understand where he is coming from - why should teams have to name their squad 3 days in advance solely to satisfy the requirements of the media.

Its a joke and Sheedy treats it as a joke.

Heffernan has had the flu and whilst it was thought he would play, it could be worse than the club's letting on.

 

[Squeaky]

Gus would have to start, he's in good nick.
Jetta would be on the pine or not in at all.

 

[warney7]

Bolton is the obvious omission from that, and probably Bradley too.
Unlucky, but Dyson hasn't taken hold of a spot, given only limited opportunity and I think Peverill will play!

 

[ManWithNoName]

Why? It doesn't hurt anyone. Confuses the opposition.

 

[Philzsay]

We should just put up the team in jumper number order...

The following week alpabetical order..

I mean seriously it has been a long time since I have taken any notice of where Sheedy has named the players...i always just look to see the ins and outs.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Confuses no one but the supporters.

It's cheating our supporter base.

We've been waiting six months for the new season and we want to see who are team is - not a squad. We know the squad already so we might as well put the whole list down.

Woudn't put that past Sheeds. Mick Malthouse did it last year.

My Guess at actual staring line-up

C: Winderlich Watson McVeigh
HF: Hird Lucas Johns
F: Davey Lloyd Monfries

R: Hille Lovett Stanton

INT: Ryder Slattery Jetta Peverill

No room for Lucas?

But how the team lines up depends so much on matchups that Sheedy won't even know until he sees how Adelaide set up.

 

[Kaiser Powser]

I knew I would stuff that up.

Too many Ryders, better make one a Lucas.

Are you serious! You're going to drop the clubs leading goalkicker from last year?
And Kelvin, come on sunshine, why give the opposition any extra advantage? You're right, we have been waiting six months, surely you can wait 3 more days to see where they line up.
