Any chance they will pick BBB, as he has been declared fit?

I was at training at Gosches when Clarry returned to team training.He was signing autographs for kids and posing for photos.He is a people person. He loves the fans.

At the Casey practice match, they had to shorten the kick to kick because 11 and 13 wouldn't get off the ground signing autographs. It took Claz fully 45 minutes to get from the eastern wing back over to the sheds, just yacking with fans.

Probably more unlikely but I feel like Fullarton is a chance, although he would have been announced yesterday

AFL.com.au’s predicted Sydney backline;

Lloyd.    McCartin.    Rampe

Florent.  Blakey.   Jordon

They are tiny. And that is weird.

Never been a fan of using a tall as a sub but on a small ground I’d be throwing everything in the height bucket against these smurfs.

 

edit. Looking a bit more closely at their predicted side, it appears the work experience kid might’ve been thrown this one. 

Need to consider the flip side effect on being smashed at ground ball gets and fast transition on turnover due to going in to tall.

For this reason long bombs won’t work as they’ll just flood numbers back and spread quickly on rebound. If we can get more separation and 1v1s in our F50 and move the ball similarly to the game last week vs Carlton, we should expose the lack of defensive height.

A good mix inside our F50 of small and tall should still work both ways

He’s back at Claremont training with the Senior Squad 

BVR is contact training and should play Futures and Community footy this year. He’s 199cm now I heard yesterday

Got a feeling JVR will have a good game tomorrow night, he was so close in the practice matches, leading well, getting to great spots, it just didn't quite stick for him. Against the Blues he missed a few shots but could easily have kicked a little bag. i am very optimistic he could snag 4-6 goals

Would you take SVR with a mid season pick, which as a bonus, also might assist JVR to extend his contract with us.

I feel like Bailey Fritsch gets forgotten in pretty much all discussions about potential goal-kickers for our upcoming games. Just not sure why. He’s easily our best forward, in his prime, an absolute gun, and if stays fit, will win our goal-kicking again this year.

He sure is 'Webber' and one of the best forwards in the game who also gets left out of that discussion.

Not currently but will see how he goes once the season starts. WAFL pre season matches start this weekend so may get a look at him.

Im not a believer in signing players to keep siblings. Back your culture (that dirty word)

The Age columnist, Greg Baum…

Fans’ biggest gripe: The media hates my team.

I don't just hate the Age, i hate all Media. Get that straight. It isn't because they are spiteful and horrible toward a sport that keeps them earning a living. It's  because they they have serious character faults, and have been overwhelmed by their own self importance.

Woewodin is my tip for sub.

Assuming they have to announce 5 on the bench tonight with 1 eventual sub, I'd find it hard to believe that Brown or Tholstrupp will be one of those 5 considering the confirmed debut announcements from Monday.

Who else could be sub? Hunter and Spargo are injured. Adams hasn't been near contention.

Surely we're not going down the path of Verral or T Mac as a sub after what happened in the semi.

My insta had Kozzie kicking a goal from the race/ground access in the pocket.  Not even on the field, not that he can play this game anyway.  Freak!

Instagram also indicates that a bunch of the players from different teams are mates off the field.  Brodie and Max still follow each other, I really rather doubt there's bad blood there.

Can't get too pumped about the game, I'm a day behind and five hours ahead in my time zone, so that means I'm supposed to be catching some ZZZZs at game time.

CARN DEES!

I am new born baby, never watch a football game before, and am unfamiliar about customs to do with this sport which I have followed since yesterday.

So when are the…

…teams announced?

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
