JLT 01: vs Richmond ... a Hot one

That's a stronger team than I expected. Looks like the older guys rested: Lewis, Gawn, Vanders, Jetta, Hibberd

I took the liberty to change the positions around for the starting 18, left the bench as named.

The backline without May, Hibberd, Jetta and Lewis seems pretty weak, but there's enough in the midfield and forward line to put in a decent contest.

I noticed that - I took it straight from the article.  It looks like they did it for the first few and then gave up and just stuck any old names in there.

Tigers are pretty much full strength, our backline looks very light

Fritsch should get number 2 and play on the wing...  :)

 

Hope the rules allow for all of them to get a run.

 

In 100 year from now when the majority of games are played in 38 degree temperature, they'll look back at this thread and laugh their heads off.

But they will be playing JLT’s on Heard Island in summer by then.

The AFL are probably beholden to their broadcast partners and therefore this is not an option for them.

If the AFL is beholden to the broadcasters, they're not partners. As I've said before, "broadcast partner" is a horrible expression. It is blatantly a false statement. "Broadcast overlord" is much more realistic.

Gawn, Jetta, Vanders and Hibberd are listed as emergencies on the AFL website teams

Still looks like a good side even with the 4 outs. J.Wagner must lift last chance to impress the selectors. I think we will by 12 points even though the tigs have a strong list.

The “outs” and how they appear to be tracking:-

1. Stephen May (hamstring) — due to return to full training shortly. 
2. Nathan Jones (hamstring /ba ck tightness) — should be fit to start the season. 
6. Jordan Lewis — rested? 
7. Jack Viney (ankle surgery) — should be fit to start the season.
8. Jake Lever (ACL surgery) — hopefully will be back training with the main group in about a month. 
12. Toby Bedford — not selected.
16.  Kade Kolodjashnij (adductor) — available to play Round 1 but more likely in the VFL. 
18. Jake Melksham hamstring) — due to return to full training shortly. 
19. Mitch Hannan (knee) — return in the middle of the first half of the season. 
27. Aaron Nietschke (ACL surgery) — season 
35. Oskar Baker — not selected.
37. Kade Chandler — not selected.
38. Tim Smith — left training early on Thursday. 
43. Guy Walker (shoulder surgery) — return date not available.
46. Austin Bradtke — not selected.

You can add

11. Max Gawn - emergency - rested

14. Michael Hibberd - emergency - rested

22. Aaron vandenBerg - emergency - rested

39. Neville Jetta - emergency - rested

They better have stringent drug testing then.

I'm not convinced the so called "emergencies" aren't playing! Waiting for confirmation from MFC of final selection.

65 pints! That's heroic! I usually pass out after 15.

The biggest challenge will not be driving up the highway or standing in the heat, but it will be avoiding the Richmond fans who are up and about again. Just say over and over again to yourself ""this is just a practice game, this is just a practice game, and it does not count.."

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
