But only 4 players could be interchanged at any one time.  So players in the 30 had to be subbed on or out of the game.

Ah ok didn't realise that

Same old story.  If we win it's good signs, if we lose, it's just a practice match

I reckon Kosi will be named. He'd love the opportunity to play in front of family members and against a number of his mates.

We don't play Freo away this year.

If he does play at least three quarters I'm tipping he'll bag at least 4 goals and be close to BOG (in a losing side).

Having said that, I don't think he should be named. We need to start with, as close as possible, our round one side.

BTW I'm tipping a GF between two of Freo, GWS and Lions.

What does this post even mean?

That said missing the first three rounds might mean they want to take the opportunity to get one more match load and fitness into koz.

Surely you would give him say 3 quarters,   and all the other best 22  if you can , only the abbreviated game time.

Do not want to go into game 1 underdone like last year when a fit and firing Sydney thumped us badly. That was extremely disappointing.

Thumped us badly is an ever so slight exaggeration of what occurred

I'd say he definitely reads all replies and reactions and is gagging for attention

Curious, how do you read a reaction?

And what happens if you accidentally see an emoji that has been added to one of your posts?

Once seen, never unseen?

Or do you try and convince yourself, Schulz stylee, that you saw 'nothink'?

If he kicks 4 we wont lose!!

This game is not just about fitness. it’s about having our best team play together to work on game plan etc 

Kozzi will certainly play as we need him in the 20+ games he’ll play this year  

He will have time to gel with new midfield and fwd teammates

Not sure what to do with Kos, we generally play 22 at a time and sub guys out rather than rotate extras. 

Maybe one of Chandler, Sharp or Sparrow sit for the first half?

Of course that’s assuming Tracc, Viney and all other mid/forwards are right to go.

If there’s no Casey game this week I agree that taking Henderson to play a quarter is reasonable. Just get him that experience or travelling with an afl team and bonding time with team mates. Less important for Culley who’s been around the side all summer and on an afl list before.

I don't read any posts.

This will be our full dress rehearsal and I presume we will ve playing our best available team.

We'll have an extended bench and will likely rest some guys at half time I would've thought.

I was just checking to see if you were actually reading all replies and reactions. Your reaction to my reaction has been noted.

100% Kozzie will play. Given he’s missing the first three games, any match fitness is very important.

Freo will be lucky to make the 8… they play a boring and one paced brand of football

We play them round 6. I reckon we'll be 3-2 (losses to GWS and Cats) and they'll be 5-0.

99.9% certain if he gets reported and suspended on Sunday, the suspension will take place from round 4 onwards.

In fact I'm 100% sure.

Then wrap the freo boys up in bubble wrap & LFG 🔥 🔥🔥

As well as a dress rehearsal for round 1, I hope the club also look at this game as a dress rehearsal on how we play the dockers next time when it counts.

Thats why I reckon Kossie has to play

I've got a similar prediction.

Same for the Dees (if we were to beat Freo in round 6 it could really open our season up as we have a winnable fortnight after that)

Freo will be 4-1 with a round 1 loss to Geelong at GMHBA.

It will be an absolute indictment on Longmuir if he can't get that talented list into the top 4. They want for absolutely nothing.

Agreed they have great individual talent, but are they a great team?
