WERRIDEE

Oliver hasn't been suspended I just think he should be. I put a topic on it before the Pert and Goodwin interview but it got taken off. I'll change it now you sorry about that. B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, Bowey C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Petty, McAdam FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Sparrow, Billings, Chandler SUB: Spargo EMERG: Woewodin, Laurie, Howes Casey scratch match B: Freeman, Turner, Adams HB: Howes, Schache, Leake C: Steele, Laurie, Windsor HF: Sestan, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield F: Jefferson, B, Brown, Grey FOLL: Fullerton, White, Woewodin IC: Verrall, Farris-White, K.Brown, Pick 42\ Rookie INJ: Melksham SUS: Pickett, Smith

Does this mean pick 42 is back on the radar? or does it mean we will pick an extra rookie?

Petty won't be lining up on a flank. Melksham will miss most of the year. Other than that it's ok.

Best 44 for round 1 B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, Bowey C: Langdon, Petracca, Hunter HF: Billings, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Petty, McAdam FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Sparrow, Chandler, Spargo SUB: Woewodin Casey scratch match B: Freeman, D.Turner, Adams HB: Howes, Schache, Leake C: Steele, Laurie, Windsor HF: Sestan, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield F: Jefferson, B.Brown, Grey FOLL: Fullerton, White, K.Brown IC: Verrall, Farris-White, Sheppard, Rookie INJ: Melksham SUS: Pickett, Smith, Oliver

We all agree that Reid will go 1. What's the rest supposed to be? Walter 2 (bid), McKersher 3, Duursma 4, Watson 5, Sanders 6, Read 7 (bid), Leake 8, Curtin 9, Caddy 10, O'Sullivan 11, Rogers 12 (bid), Wilson 13, Windsor 14.

I left out 1992 Jim Stynes, Todd Viney and Graeme Yeats.

Congrats to the women's and men's teams on winning the McClelland. Thoroughly deserved the women have been brilliant.

pass. We have 2 rookie picks.

I don't think we will match a bid we only have 2 picks 6 and 11. It will be a rookie selection or not picked up at all.

I have him behind Chandler so it's touch and go whether he makes the round 1 team. Pickett is out and maybe Smith will see him on the team. RND 1 team B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, D.Turner\Tomlinson, Bowey C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Petty, McAdam FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Sparrow, Billings, Smith\Chandler SUB: Chandler\Spargo Not sold on Tomlinson need to see his form in the pre-season. Depending on what happens to Smith Chandler will be the 22nd man or sub. Spargo will be a sub or emergency.

I hope the bloke who did the strengths and weaknesses of every club last year can do the same thing again this year.
