From the VFK match Sim report.

"In the shortened match simulation, the main standout performances came from Max Heath, Matthew Jefferson, Luker Kentfield and Xavier Taylor."

Hints there but team balance is a big issue.

We know X Taylor is in.

Jeffo a possible for a fairly mobile forward who can play high.? IMO likely in.

Max Heath has been in great form. Both he and Gawny can play forward at times to mix it up and he can provide more relief in the ruck?

Luker and Hendo may need some more time.

Bench IMO: Windsor, Taylor, Jeffo, Heath, Pickett.

A lot of our team had a shocker last week. Lets hope for a turn around in energy.

I like that bench A LOT!

We have really hit a tipping point with our injuries, especially the small/med backman cluster. Will make it tough to even get close this week. So important to bring intensity from the first bounce.

Yep. Great test of character.

Most likely Laurie, Taylor and Jefferson for mine.

Don't think Heath gets a shot until Max needs a rest or our key forward stocks get significantly depleted.

Imagine its our youngest and least experienced team in a while.

I saw that Luker is debuting, so maybe Fritter's foot is sore

If Luker was going to debut you'd think he'd have a video up online from the club by now.

His family needs time to come over from WA

Those ins don't fill me with confidence, coming up against the team that's one the last 2 flags. But I guess we'll wait & see

Where did you see this? Mihocek, JvR, Jefferson and Kentfield seems too tall. Particularly if Fritsch is still in the team.

How do people that use this site still not know the difference between a ‘squad’ and a ‘team’ selection announcement? The final team is announced tomorrow. Tonight’s was a squad. Not very difficult, been done this way for a long time.

I didn't see it anywhere, I'm just speculating that maybe Luker comes in as insurance in case Fritter's foot is still causing him problems.

And this is the [censored], MOOSE deserves a game in front of anyone. I RECKON, the Captain might not want additional support!

Yeah but he is not in the final 23! Do check before u post!

Will be spew'n if Heath doesn't play. Me will be thinking the Goody days are back.

Agree that is most likely, im curious if Trelly gets sent for a spell at some point but i dont think Hendo has had enough continuity to come in yet 2qrts in 3 weeks given he was emerg during the week we actually played.

its real bottom of the barrell stuff at the moment for us

I don't see how Jefferson plays with van Rooyen in. Forward line too tall unless they are playing van Rooyen in the ruck. I think Heath gets a go.

B: Lever, Petty, Howes

HB: Tholstrup, Turner, Taylor

C: Windsor, Langford, Lindsay

HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, Sharp

F: Fritsch, Mihocek, L.Pickett

FOLL: Gawn, Steele, K.Pickett

IC: Langdon, Culley, Sparrow, Laurie, Heath

EMERG: Henderson, Jefferson, Kentfield

If Van Rooyen gets a gig before Jeffo after a totally Shizzen 4 weeks... that is Royal Commision stuff!

Swap out Jeffo for Kentfield and I really like that bench. We need to be maximising guys that really attack the ball. As smart and experienced as Miochek is, I don't really think he brings that kind of energy to our forward line.

Would love to see The Moose smash some packs.

I noticed at training yesterday that BM wasn’t moving freely at times, and I wouldn’t actually mind the club making the call to include Jefferson, Heath, and Kentfield in a devil-may- care statement for the future. All 3 players deserve to be selected .

Even if BM’s not injured, I feel neither he nor JVR should be retained this week anyway.

Jeffo could come in and kick 10 and you still rage at the clouds for some other reason. I can place a bet that Jefferson plays against the lions.

JVR is a by product of the failed team system last week yet he still had two shots on goal and still taking the best or 2nd best defender each and every week.

More then a tad..

Last year he was still up to the speed of the game. This year he looks a completely different player and unfortunately the speed of the game has caught up to him.

I expect retirement come end of the year considering by his own admission he was close to pulling the pin anyhow.

Wants in to get into a Footy manager/CEO type role at AFL club land after footy is done.

I'm expecting the ins to be Jefferson, Laurie and Taylor.

I can't see Max and Heath lining up in the same game this year - AT ALL.

If they share the ruck equally, it means we get less production from the best player in our team.

If it's 80-20 in favour of Gawn, then I can't see the point and value of playing Heath - he'll only play about 25% of game time.

As quoted by some, Heath will get game time when Max needs a rest. Heath could get game i.e R17 and therefore Heath will remain as an emergency until such time. What a joke this is we kill off a player's confidence and reduce his fitness due to lack of game time. I still haven't got over keeping Grundy as emergency when we last played finals. Young players want to be playing the game. Good to see Taylor getting a game and it is going to be interesting who is going to make up the rest ot the bench. Jefferson ( prefer Kentfield or Heath) is also likely to be playing.
