You would not be happy if you missed the squad.

Just released... so lets play which four drop out and who is the sub

Jeffo definitely out and next TMac

Billings for sub? or more likely Lindsay?

Think Billings is in

Thanks to all for the contributions to this thread - it's been a great read in the lead up. 

I'm looking forward to the game and cheering on the boys at the 'G.

Carn The Demons!

[Diamond_Jim 12,778]

No surprises in the named 18

[adonski 13,280]

Interesting to see Hendo in the squad ahead of a few

[Young Blood 2,642]

I thought Tom Green was another week away. God dammit :(

[bing181 9,474]

Of the Interchange, you would imagine Billings and Sharp have done enough. Then it's a toss up between Jefferson and Johnson (surprise surprise) and a fourth spot to ... god knows. 

[BScotti 179]

im thinking 

1 - either jeffo or Johnson - Prefer Jeffo

2 - Langford and Sharp - In

3 - Billings and Lindsay - In (Billings 2 be sub)

4- Henderson and TMac  - No

 

[brendan 3,458]

Green named for the giants 

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,966]

Of the extended bench I'm taking Langford for sure. It'll be either Jibba or Lindsay. Maybe AJ. Longest odds with Henderson and Jefferson.

Only happens to the Dees. When the injury was announced he was going to well and truly miss the Dees game and beyond.

Doubt TMac plays either.

Look away @binman

I wonder if they’re really considering him with the weather and Koz being out?

Might be a smoky as sub

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

on par

[KozzyCan 989]

Just a squad but looks like a very tall team in the wet.

I reckon a Smokey to start. With the rain it makes sense to me. Obviously if kozzie was playing then I wouldn’t care as much with him playing but we seriously need another small in this game

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

Heard same Goody and match commitee consider him long term player and need to get games into him! Chandler STILL gets selected on What?? DISCO also veeery lucky!

[Kev 10,930]

My thoughts, we could go small.

Langford, Lindsay, Billings and Sharp as interchange. 

Sub Tmac (knows system and gives flexibility)

B: Lever May Bowey

HB: Rivers Petty Salem

C: Langdon Viney  Windsor

HF: Henderson AJ  Sharp

F: Fritsch   JVR  Chandler 

R: Gawn  Oliver Petracca

I/C Langford Sparrow Billings Lindsey 

 

that’s what I’d go for

TMac is not your typical sub unless you are thinking injury sub.

I think they're desperate for someone to back up Max but you could be right that in view of the weather they might go small.

This game looks increasingly tough to win
