Lol, check out that half forward line.

WHAT DOES HE SEE IN FRAWLEY?

We must be tanking, Bode is still in the team.......how many contests can you shirk and still get a game?

Would be good to see Whelan get a game.

I fear it may be his last year with us.

Frawley Carroll and Jamar my emergencies.

For the love of God Bails I know you're taking the [censored] having Frawley at CHF but don't even CONSIDER playing him up forward.

Morton will be trimmed off that bench by the looks of it.

i'd like to see davey frawley and cj in.

although frawley and carol will be a toss up. however frawley would have played last week if not injured while carol was consigned to the twos.

i spose wheelan could get a run for bell, but i think wheelan and cj are fighting for the same spot this week.

when you consider we already have bode and bartram running round our backline, and mcdonald has played a few roles down there this year too, im not sure there is a spot for wheelan yet.

i freaked out i thought sylvia was not playing, Interesting Frawley getting named at HF.

I really hope Sylvia gets another go as FF

named on the wing...........

I'll be pumped if Wheels plays. He's so effective with the ball, with such a calm head who i think can really help the backline

Also i spent all Saturday night telling him to kick one for Sandy and then he'd get a game, so i want to be right!!

With a couple of the 'ins' listed on the bench, it seems that way.

Perhaps one of Morton or Bate will miss.

Neither Bate nor Morton will miss.

Lol, check out that half forward line.

hahaha, i know... there's a much better half forward line sitting on the bench...

A. Davey M. Bate A. Yze

i'm not even going to try and pick the 22 given that extended bench and the way the players have been named, esp. that half forward line... bails is clearly playing funny buggers and will drop someone out of the 18...

great to see CJ named though, Ruck Rover!

WHAT DOES HE SEE IN FRAWLEY?

Look, I don't think that Frawley is going to be the absolute champion that alot of people here have annoited him as but at this stage I'm happy for him to get as many games as possible. The fact is that we need to fast track as many KPP's as possible so who knows with some experience and a bit of confidence he may develop into a player.

In fact he's a bit of a worry.

You having a laugh K or is that really the team as picked?

WHAT DOES HE SEE IN FRAWLEY?

I guess the same thing he saw in Garland, and gee if my memory serves me correct most people bagged him and now he is everyones love child, how about we give them time in this developing year before we want them out.

In fact he's a bit of a worry.

Apart from his poor disposal, lack of being able to read the play and isn't good at one on one contests I think he goes ok.

Frawley wont be cut, as he was named in the starting 18. The three players left out must come off the extended bench.

My lineup

B - Bartram Garland Wheatley

HB - Green Warnock Bruce

C - Dunn Jones Davey

HF - Woneamirri Miller Bate

F - P.Johnson Sylvia Morton

R - White McLean McDonald

I/C - C.Johnson Bode Frawley Yze

Emer - Carroll Whelan Jamar

Where did you hear that from?

As far as I know any one of the 25 can be dropped

Nah, I also think that the 3 emergencies come from the bench.

Bate on the bench, Frawley in the forward line...what is the world coming to?

Frawley wont be cut, as he was named in the starting 18. The three players left out must come off the extended bench.

generally that's the rule, but Bailey hasn't been sticking to this at all... bringing players in from outside the 25, dropping players who are listed in the starting 18...

and naming Frawley at Centre Half Forward, next to Bode and Bartram... well i don't think Richmond would have much idea right now about how we're going to line up from the way the team was named tonight, given the way we've made changes in the past...

LMAO at the line-up, the half back line is almost as disturbing as the half-forward line.

Bailey clearly couldn't be bothered organising the line-up so early in the week. Although I'm not sure how silly playing Frawley up forward is. You just never know what could happen.

Anyways, bench should most certainly be Davey, Bate, Morton & Whelan.

Davey and Whelan won't play.
