Oliver out with general soreness (sounds like just resting)

Salem out with hamstring tightness, which is no good. He’s had issues with hamstrings before. Hopefully nothing a rest can’t fix.

    All four of Bowey. Petty, Laurie and Bedford were very exciting last week in the 2nds... deserved their call up.

    Agree good to see youngsters get a taste now.  I think Bailey Laurie will crack it for a senior debut game later in the year.

    Oliver, Salem, Brayshaw, Viney, Hibberd, Melksham, B Brown and Weid all out.

    Meanwhile the Dogs have a near full strength side. 
     

    Hard to see us winning this one, but hopefully a few lesser lights can step up tomorrow and show that we have good depth.

    So do we go with Vanders and Lockhart from the get go as that team line up may suggest or do we throw Laurie and Bowey in to the fire and see if they are ready for round 1?

    Petty and Tomlinson get a half each? Or May/Lever plays a half and then has a rest so the other 2 can compete for more time?

    There's plenty of guys playing for their spots.

    WBs  a strong line up. Johannesan in the 2s,  Hope at least one of our recruits get a run.

    How many on the bench?

    Best to see how Jones, Neal-Bullen and Vandenburg measure up earlier rather than later. We're resting players and trying players. Sensible course of action and giving a couple of key players a rest is fine with me. The result of this match is immaterial in the long-term.

    Oliver out will give good game time to Sparrow Jordan. I want to see what they have. If they have decent games should play rd 1. Bowey Laurie aswell although prob not rd 1 with players to return

    I think it works in our favour the doggies playing a full-strength side. Give our players challenging for a round one spot a proper test.

    I'll assume that Aemond is an anagram... Daemon? Good get for originality if so. Just as well I know Latin to get it. Agree with your assessment in that we need to find out sooner rather than later.

    Massive game for Jordon. What he do in the middle against a top midfield. 

    bowey and Laurie could make round 1 debuts with strong performances. 

    Can’t wait to see the boys play!

    Oliver just posted a photo of himself at Gosch’s Paddock from this morning. He was clearly training with the leftover group of players. I accept that he is being managed.

    The same forward line that just kicked 14 goals against Richmond?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
