No inference at all. It's just that my auto-translate app isn't working and I was having trouble with the first half dozen words of your post but I did get the gist of it.

Anyhow, it wouldn't surprise if there were two rookie elevations this week and the inclusions of Georgiou and Jetta will IMO prove to be more valuable additions to the team than many would think.

LoL; Its the late night glasses... they well just won't work

And I hope no-one tries to tell me that will be Cameron Pederson

Fitzy and Pedersen between them - 2.5

Howe - 2.5

JHK/Byrnes/Blease/Bail/Toumpas between who ever plays as small forwards - 4

Midfield - Watts/Vince/Trengove/N. Jones/Michie/Tyson/Cross - 4

Fitzy last year showed he can be good for a goal a game at least when he's in form. He got one most games and kicked a few multiple efforts. Pedersen as a key forward might be just ok enough to get a goal a game if the midfield and backline provide something.

Howe has the ability to have a 50 goal season if used close to goal in a team with solid ball movement.

The small forwards and midfield goals will depend entirely on how well the team is playing. Play well and the goals will take care of themselves.

And I hope no-one tries to tell me that will be Cameron Pederson

From what I saw of Pedo at training, he was working his butt off (can't believe I am saying that after what I saw last preseason) and will prove many of us wrong.

He was also doing a hell of a lot of work training as a forward.

Looks like its Geoigiou

FB: Georgiou Frawley Dunn

HB: Grimes McDonald Terlich/Clisby/Strauss/Jetta

C: Watts N. Jones Trengove

HF: Michie Pedersen Toumpas

FF: Howe Fitzpatrick JKH
Foll: Spencer Vince Tyson

Int; Cross, McKenzie Choice of: 2 from Bail/Byrnes/Blease/Matt Jones for last bench/sub spot

That's my guess. Hope they play JKH for a full game. He brings energy that we need at the start of the game. Can't decide who I'd go with for the 6th defender but at least against the saints compared to against Hawthorn they should have a rotating midfielder who's a questionable forward more than a very good forward.

If we win the clearances and use the ball smartly and quickly we can win. That can definitely be high possession and sharing it around but we have to do it quickly and confidently.

I believe the rookie elevations will be announced today.

Clark should be put on the LTI list giving the club two spots to fill.

Georgiou and King are my tips.

Surely not king. I would have thought they'd let him ease into things at Casey. If they don't give jetta a crack now they never will.

I don't think Toumpas will start ahead of Cross but a fair summation of the side there Master Demon

Georgiou given the rookie nod

Geez... Clean forgot him.

they won't elevate anyone until they are ready to pick him

this week:

Georgiou i think so

Jetta just a maybe

any news?

As expected, Georgiou gets the nod.
