The Preuss lacerated Jye Caldwell's kidney last year in the same fixture.

I would've thought it would make more sense to distribute each of these kids in to different VFL games so they could play as the 22nd/23rd men in flanker type roles that kept them away from the hot stuff, but this is a good test for them.

In that game last year the under 18 academy side thrashed North Melbourne.

[Diamond_Jim 12,726]

well let's hope it's bruise free all round.

Perhaps we will see Bradtke?

they do this game every year..and as has already been mentioned the under 18s are more than competitive and won last year

[spirit of norm smith 16,659]

I think the under 18s will deliver the chocolates. Another very talented group coming through. Pace and skills versus bigger bodies. 

[Turner 1,516]

i played with rowell and anderson two of the top prospects at school and they are seriously talented. easily will go 1 and 2

It seems that they’ve given a few of the younger brigade in Sparrow, Bedford and Chandler some time off. Jay Lockhart, the resting emergency. No Maynard.

A few others can expect limited game time in case they’re required on Anzac Eve.

[spirit of norm smith 16,659]

Strange that we have not got Bedford, Chandler and Sparrow playing against youngsters like themselves.

AS WJ says it's probably designed to give the young bodies a rest but it would have been good to see them in a free flowing game.

Not sure what it is about the VFL comp but it seems to involve a lot more packs. Perhaps it just looks that way when you watch the game from boundary level.

Managing the list for Wed?

[chook fowler 19,752]

Can’t understand how Hutchins keeps getting a game.

I reckon Sparrow will be an 'In',  against the Tiges....    and maybe another small defender  'in',  as well ?   we need more speed against Richmond.  and Preuss in to stretch the Tigers tall backs.

I don't think Sparrow is anywhere near ready for senior "recall"

[chook fowler 19,752]

Looks like Lockhart is the spare for the seniors

Well, we'll know by Monday,  I reckon.

[Dr.D 1,771]

hey guys, is there anyone in the under 18s we should be looking out for our first pick? we have our first round pick this year I'm pretty sure so that could fall anywhere from pick 8 to pick 12 as s personal guesstimate 

[DubDee 26,472]

So if Pruess doesn’t get up then Lockhart comes in???! Must be pretty sure big P is right to go!!

[Drunkn167 5,093]

Keilty only playing half the game as he is an emergency for this arvo

It is not as though Bedford or Chandler are likely to be surprise inclusions! Sparrow maybe? ?

This must mean Preuss is playing then.  No way would Keilty be playing a second of the curtain raiser if Preuss was under a cloud or out.

Unless O Mac comes in for Preuss, which would not make much sense.
