DownRightDee21 3 Posted Thursday at 23:12 Posted Thursday at 23:12 Hendo from the clouds for a debut! Makes for a interesting line up - potentially Roo had a set back with his back, 4 tall forwards in the wet is choice Quote
In Harmes Way 7,910 Posted Thursday at 23:13 Posted Thursday at 23:13 9 minutes ago, picket fence said: Johnson is a third or fourth backup forward at best and ok ruckman! If he gets a game round 1 we are already struggling in 2025 IMV Bit harsh picket. In the wet, you want strong second efforts for when the ball hits the deck which I think Johnson delivers in spades 4 Quote

If he gets a game round 1 we are already struggling in 2025 IMV Johnson allows us to not play JVR in the ruck and plays with a level of physicality Turner doesn't. Looked a lot stronger in the practice matches and would be better in the wet imo. Quote

roy11 4,089 Posted Thursday at 23:25 Posted Thursday at 23:25 New era, spewing one of my best mates has his 40th on during the game. Will be glued to my phone for updates. Quote
BangBnagBang 774 Posted Thursday at 23:27 Posted Thursday at 23:27 All 6 where named on extended bench of 8. If all 6 play one of the 18 is out?? 1 Quote
Tolstoys Nudge 1,901 Posted Thursday at 23:28 Posted Thursday at 23:28 So 6 debuts inc Sharp — means Roo or Disco are out.. Let’s pray it’s just Turner in form, hope is that club Likely would’ve published JVR pulling out with injury so let’s hope it’s Turner for form reasons perhaps.. LOVE Hendo storming into the side — massive wraps wow wow can’t wait to see the kid play! Rkn Jeffo sub is my guess.. Surely JVR pulling out would be released by club.. SURELY!!! 😬 1 Quote
praha 11,275 Posted Thursday at 23:28 Posted Thursday at 23:28 Club confirmed 6 debutants will play. Quote
jaydenh10 89 Posted Thursday at 23:29 Posted Thursday at 23:29 there has to be a late out right?? Quote
sisso 2,647 Posted Thursday at 23:29 Posted Thursday at 23:29 I like it...the excitement and speed of youth early in the season, Goody must have been watching the Tigers last night! 1 Quote
demoncat 1,726 Posted Thursday at 23:30 Posted Thursday at 23:30 (edited) Boy oh boy wowee I don’t think anyone saw all six playing It essentially means three others already named won’t play Billings and TMac were on the extended bench so I’m guessing they didn’t make the cut Perhaps Turner too? or JVR a late out? Probably the only way bringing in both AJ and Jefferson makes sense Either way super exciting! Edited Thursday at 23:30 by demoncat 2 Quote

ANG13 2,113 Posted Thursday at 23:33 Posted Thursday at 23:33 Very unlikely the team lines up that way but the backline looks unbalanced to me. Quote

whatwhat say what 23,928 Posted Thursday at 23:34 Posted Thursday at 23:34 can't see us going with all of jvr, fritsch, turner, jefferson, and johnson if latter two are playing, i'm assuming at least one of the first three aren't i presume jvr has not come up from his back issue 1 Quote

DiscoStu17 892 Posted Thursday at 23:36 Posted Thursday at 23:36 23 hours ago, Roost it far said: Salem looked fantastic in parts against Freo, he’s always happy to hold the ball and step around one or more opponents. If he can hold fitness and health we’re already better than last year. I’ve always liked Salem as he dispose of the ball well and so holds onto the ball a little longer even if he is going to get collected. It’s not like he’s 6 foot six and 100kg. I’m sure it’s costed him quite a bit in impact injuries. Respect. 1 Quote
