Wasn't Charlie Dixon one of the GC players we had a lot of trouble with when we played them in a practice match up there?

I believe there's a good chance Dixon won't come good by Sunday from last weeks leg injury.

That's a big bonus especially given the form he's been in.

Gary Ablett out next with an ankle would be nice.

I heard it was a fracture in his arm but he's been playing with it for weeks.

Assuming Lynden Dunn plays on him, it would be interesting to see him test something like that out.

Really gotta respect a bloke like that who can play as well as he does with a pretty serious and painful injury like that, credit where credit's due i suppose :)

No need for him now anyway

And Neeld doesn't have issues. can't believe McLardy is letting this play out.

Somewhat of a surprise to see Sellar in the side.

I thought Davey might get a run given the lack of experience factor but perhaps the coach is really playing mind games with all of us.

Davey has played too many games, it doesn't fit the pick the least experienced team possible policy we seem to have.

Why not blood Davis?

The only reason i can think of to play sellar with Dixon out is to stretch their defence, in which case Fitz would have been a much better option.

Selectors have lost the plot

Could Sellars inclusion mean one of Garland, Frawley or Tom Mc are carrying an injury??? Sellar's inclusion guarantees we have another Key Position defender in that case.

Also, it appears that Dunn will most likely play through the middle in a run with role from some of what Royal said in the team chat. So given Garland usually plays on one of the small forwards, maybe they wanted to have the extra height in the backline to give us an advantage for when they might do the long bomb into the forward line. We are fortunate enough that Frawley and Garland can play on bigs and smalls, so maybe frawley will pick up a mid-sized forward......

In reality, who the hell really knows, apart from the footy department.

Sellar can kick, Davis can't.

Sellar is genuine key position size, Davis isn't quite.

Sellar can back up ruck, Davis can't.

Seriously I don't think we've given Sellar enough of a chance as a defender to prove himself. Give him a run there, the worst thing that happens is he struggles a bit then we can move him forward and sub out a ruck man at 3/4 time to bring Kent on.

Sellar comes in as a tall forward, they prefer him to fitzpatrick for this week. I dont mind adding two talls, it adds balance to our forward line and you can see this is the structure neeld wants going forward two key forward talls, a goal kicking ruckman, a couple of defensive smalls and a marking midsize player, i see our forward line up

Tapscott Dawes Gawn

Howe Sellar Bail

back half of the year put Clark in there, the team is drilled on the set up.

if he comes in as a forward why didn't he or Pedersen play past week. I can't see the reasoning of going from zero key forwards to two all in one week. But mark Neeld and reasoning aren't really friends.

Get Clark (back up ruck) and Hogan in and that forward line works. But currently that forward line is much too tall considering the 3 talls aren't really threats.

the sellar inclusion for this week is why the bookies have got gold coast as favourites now.

a big body, can imagine why recruiters liked him hence going in the draft early. but he is only a big body, cannot do the fundamental things that are required of a big man. id say nev jetta would outmark sellar.

The bookies had us as favourites, they set the initial odds. Weight of money then changes those odds accordingly. Gold Coast were into favouritism before the final announcement of the teams. Punters obviously thought given the form of the two teams, and the injuries we have, that Gold Coast were over the odds and worthy of betting on. Sellar's inclusion would have no bearing whatsoever on GC being favourites.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
