This is not my preferred team, but a prediction.

Lumumba will play NAB 3 and will play round one.

The sooner Brayshaw, Petracca and Trengove come back from injury the better.

Agree with this team. ProDee, who would you have Brayshaw, Petracca and Trengove replace when they are fit and ready to go?

Unless Frost improves this week I can't see him making the round 1 side.  Hasn't been good enough to warrant a spot as a defender, forward or back up ruckman.  He's been out a long time and maybe needs more games to prepare.

Can't believe so many had him penciled in for the side , hadn't seen nearly enough of him.

What's the story with ANB? Is he injured or is he on the outer.  Thought he looked ok last year but unsighted so far.

Very good question. I hadn't noticed any training reports saying he's had significant injuries or been in rehab.

Just outside the best 25 or whatever we are picking at the minute, i reckon he'll play against the Saints.

I just want to see Petracca play! Doubt he will play round one though

Frost won't play on current form. Lumumba will have to have a good one against the saints if he is to play round one.

End of post-match presser. Frost is now playing Howe's mysterious forward role from last season.

Well it is 26 in the squad, and about 6 are injured, that puts him outside the the best 32 or so doesn't it?

Really been impressed with Matt Jones so far. Wouldn't be surprised if he breaks into the round 1 squad. Wouldn't mind a Hulett or Weideman get a game in NAB 3 alongside Hogan and Watts up forward and let Frost play as a backman.

This is the team I posted in the OP way back towards the end of January. 

FB:  Garland. T Mac. Dunn

HB: Salem. Frost. Jetta

C: Vince. N. Jones. Stretch

HF: Kent. Dawes. Brayshaw

F: Watts. Hogan. Garlett

FOL: Gawn. Viney. VDB

INT: Hames. Kennedy, Tyson, Pedo.

With the first two NAB games out of the way and a few injuries, revelation of form and niggles uncovered, I would make the following adjustments to my R1 team.

FB:  Garland. Dunn. Jetta

HB: Salem. T Mac. Vince

C: M Jones. Viney. Grimes

HF: Kent. Pedo. VDB

F: Watts. Hogan. Garlett

FOL: Gawn. VDB. N. Jones

INT: Hames. Bugg, Tyson, Stretch

In a team like this I could see us stacking runners on the bench to cover the limited rotations and to try and keep the grunt in the midfield. I see a lot of time on the ground for Gawn, Pedo and Dunn.

I don't expect Lumumba or Dawes to be Match fit for R1. Brayshaw is a chance to be there and if so, he replaces Grimes and Grimes drops to the bench to replace Stretch. Petracca or even ANB may put their hands up if they get a run in NAB3 or the Casey praccy games. Frost will not get in the team on present form and will need to run into form at Casey.

Disappointed that you are going against the pundits ( and recent form) in not selecting Oliver!

To be honest, I had him in and out of the team a few times. I can see that by the end of the season he may well be a fixture there. He will get a run very early and I can see the possibility of him continuing his run of form in the next NAB or in the Casey preseason games to make his inclusion in R1 irresistable. At this stage I would be inclined not to have him there R1. I think there will be a lot of team management throughout the season with the changes to the interchange rules and the fact that we have a relatively young group of players that are still trying to build proper capacity to endure a complete season.We need to build a list that has not only depth of talent but also the endurance to carry us through the season.

2 NABs down, 1 NAB to go.

HF: Kent  Pedersen  Watts

F: Harmes  Hogan  Garlett

R: Gawn  Viney  Brayshaw

INT: vandenBerg  Oliver  Grimes  Lumumba

E: M Jones  Michie  Kennedy  Frost

 

Kennedy is a likely inclusion as part of the new mosquito squad, but I'm not wholly convinced as yet. Same with Frost. Likely but has not put forward a strong enough case for mine. Matt Jones is right on the periphery which is a big jump from where I had him previously.

I like Stretch and ANB but maybe the coaches are taking a more cautious approach with them.

Assuming Brayshaw's availability, VDB instead for a bigger body starting off in the guts. I think Baryshaw one season off starting on ball.

Oliver, Bugg and Kennedy all in my R 1 team after that game. Will be interesting to see if Brayshaw comes up.

Goodwin said in his after match presser that Brayshaw should be able to play for Casey this week, same as AVB and Dunn.  I'd say if he plays and comes through unscathed then he'll get a gig for Round 1.

Assuming that all of the players above are fit, I'd be surprised if this wasn't our round 1 team.

So, three preseason wins, one Casey to go...

 

B: Jetta - Dunn - Garland

HB: Salem - T McDonald - Vince

C: vandenBurg - N Jones - Bugg

HF: Watts - Pedersen - Kennedy

F: Kent - Hogan - Garlett

Foll: Gawn - Tyson - Viney

I/c: Brayshaw - Oliver - Frost - Harmes

Emerg: Grimes - O McDonald - M Jones

 

Frost stays in my 22 as he offers a chop out in a number of positions.

 

A bit disappointed not to see more of ANB and Stretch this preseason.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
