Matty eagles! That's a surprise given his list status. Maybe they wanted to keep some mileage off stef and O?

Noticed this at the bottom of the article for anyone who has asked the question:-

#Note: The match will not be streamed.

Interesting to see how the midfield performs without Zorko, Neale, Clugga, Robbo and Stef.

 

[jackess]

Looks like we've rested a few locks

Clearly they haven't met BRAB who will be steaming the whole event.

If he makes it to the ground?

He's armed, don't worry about him.

 

[Dalions]

He's armed, don't worry about him.

With meth apparently!
That will get him out of any sticky situation.

So most of leadership group and new additions out. It will be a good leadership development opportunity for the new leaders coaching. Fagan will be into them about what he wants to see where there are opportunities for improvement. Itll also be a good opportunity for our depth to play in the firsts as well as those outside the leadership group to find their voices. No Skinner unfortunately which sucks hopefully if he has had a setback it's only minor. They say Andrews nickname is dad but i wonder if Lester is actually dad

We’ve named a significantly more experienced team than I was expecting.

Thats 14 out of the Suns best 22- Harbrow, Thompson, Collins, B. Ellis, Greenwood, King, Day, Witts, Swallow, Weller, Fiorini, Hanley, Ballard, Powell.

And Hombsch as well. They basically don’t have a recognisable tall defender.

And they’ve included ALL their kids and draftees, except for Flanders.

We have a few out's also but not to that extent.
They have a bigger list than other clubs so i suppose they need to see what some of these players can do in the next few official & unofficial games.

For us it may be just about getting enough kilometers into the legs of some players that may get limited time in the 2 Marsh series games.
It is still an opportunity for players to impress in a sort of game day pressure rather than at training.

Each club selected 31 players. GC posted their list last night.

We had the opportunity to see who they picked before our “team” was selected.

Unless the conditions really affect the game, we should wallop them.

They’ve named an academy kid for starters, who’s not draft eligible until the end of the year. On top of their Cat B rookies.

As one of the GC posters commented on their forum, some of their selected players aren’t even ready for the NEAFL yet.

Be interesting to see how our reserves go against them really (without being too cocky)

In the first quarter.

 

[Saucery]

They do have a ridiculous amount of new players to get their heads around, can see some good fruit dropping from that tree for us to scrump!

 

[Dylan12]

It’s just good seeing the footy back on a weekly basis, particularly with the Lions being a good footy team again.

BRAB I hope you're ready.
