PREGAME: Rd 01 vs GWS

[DeeSpencer 26,692]

Don't think Riv plays back. Don't think we change plans and suddenly start Langdon wing. Doubt we'll see any total shocks like Jed Adams over Howes.

Still not sure on 3 talls (AJ or Jeffo), Langford or neither. Woey, Jack Henderson and perhaps would we pick Spargo out of the blue again (surely not right? right?).

FB: Howes May Petty
HB: Salem Lever Windsor
C; Billings Rivers Lindsay
HF: Sparrow Turner Tracc
FF: Fritsch JVR Chandler
Foll: Gawn Oliver Langdon
Int: Bowey, Viney, Sharp, AJ/Langford
S: Woey

E: Henderson, Jeffo, AJ/Langford

That might be the 26 man squad and we won't know exactly who's in until we see conditions on Sunday.

I'll eat my Akubra if Goody seriously has Jeffo "in the mix" for the opening round.

Maybe he meant as in later rounds depending on how he fares at VFL level / on the track but wouldn't be in there this week surely.

Id really like to think that AJ will come in, but have we seen enough of him yet?  One quarter (?) against North (!) and then a bit of a pick and mix against Freo.

We definitely need someone to give Max a chop out and I really hope its him, but Im not sure if this is the game for it.  I actually have Jeffo behind AJ at this point, unless a tall forward gets injured.  Not like that WILL EVER happen.

Definitely get Langford in, why the hell not? No downside.

Im going for best 22 players IMO - positions can (obviously) change:

Bowey, May, Petty

Rivers, Lever, Salem

Windsor, Viney, Langdon

Langford, Turner, Sharp

Fristsch, JVR, Chandler

Gawn, Oliver, Trac

Int: Howes, Sparrow, AJ, Tmac

AJ and TMac feels too top heavy, I also think Lindsay plays

Goodwin said three or four to debut.  I'm guessing it will be three:  Langford, Lindsay, Jefferson or Johnson.  As Johnson played in Freo game he is the more likely and perhaps Jefferson as an emergency.

Spargo to play me thinks

[Deez21 264]

So telling our social media couldn’t get it together to create some debut content

 

we’re so far behind each team in this regard

Heard Jeffo will debut, based on preseason games I didn’t have him in the calculation

I thought he was serviceable against Norf, I was surprised they didn't play him against Freo. But I'd be even more surprised if they backflipped again and played Jeffo ahead of AJ given Johnson looked pretty solid.

We play Sunday…the team gets finalised tomorrow. The content will come. 

[DubDee 26,710]

If no AJ that means JVR in the ruck?

No thanks.

Are you basing that of this? This happened last week. Casey play on Sunday

I really hope not. He has not shown enough in what I saw of him in the Nth game and then not played against Freo. You are not setting him up for success having him debut against Taylor, Buckley and Himmelberg in a red hot first game. It also I assume means no AJ (unless Turner misses) and that likely leaves us with JVR post back spasm having to ruck at times. It just does not set Jeffo or us up for success in my opinion. 

[DubDee 26,710]

Not picking Langford would make the bull angry

Which i like 

 

He was just ok in the practice match

I wonder if the weather might be a factor. 

Jeffo is probably better at ground level than AJ so might be a better bet if its wet?

Oh for ANB to still be with us. He’s exactly the guy we need right now. 

Fair point. Does anyone know if he’s happy?

Surely not with 20 mls of rain predicted and possible thunderstorms.

Can’t be too top heavy.

I think possibly HL, XL, AJ and HS.

[jnrmac 20,385]

If there is three it will be Langford, Sharp, Lindsay

AJ to be emergency

I'd be shocked to see Jefferson play and I cant see Spargo being ready 

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,983]

Forecast of heavy rain throughout the day and a temperature of 18 degrees by game time. Over or under 16k?
