Essendon have officially requested their round 1 game to be transferred to the MCG.

Three outcomes if the AFL approves (which they never have in the past)

1) Our game remains as is. The Essendon V Hawks game is moved to Sunday.

2) our game gets moved to Sunday afternoon but remains at the G

3) Our game gets transfereed to Marvel for a 1:45pm Saturday game 

Essendon need to be ejected from the competition.  Should have happened when their whole club was found guilty of being drug cheats.

They are a cheating rabble who haven't won a final in 15 years and still think they're a top 4 power house.

James Brayshaw will step into McAvaney’s spot on Friday nights along with Brian Taylor

There must be many talented unknown commentators waiting out there for their shot, and they decide to bring in James Brayshaw of all people.

T-minus 20 days and counting....

Freo looked very good flogging the Eagles yesterday.

P2J how do you know whether Kossie has trained or not yet in SA?

I am not necessarily disagreeing with you but you just can't make open statements without proof.

You should be saying most  likely hasn't done a respectable enough block Of training required for a spot in the Round1 team.
The other variant in this situation is the form of Spargs and  Chandler. Any other AFL team to be selected in the last 2 years might have screamed for Kossie's inclusion but even our most churlish D/Lers would not want a well earnt spot by either player appear not so.

Waiting  like all Others fir your chance no matter how heartfelt the circumstances will not harm Kossie st this stage.

As it happens we are small forwards/ wing/ half back or BP smothered at the moment with Bowey Laurie Bedford and even Locky in the wings waiting for that Round1 opportunity also.

Unless of course you know more than us or you are just blindly posting an opinion piece to back up your wishes.

Yeah I am sure he is training back in S.A, but hes been away from the team for a month and may not play the next practice game.

Not sure what you mean by my wishes....  ideally I would have all three of Pickett, Spargo and Chandler in vs Freo.

Pickett must play.

No he mustn't.  He hasn't trained for a month and is still in S.A from all reports.

Chandler and Spargo are ahead of him.

Post 1964 our best 5 are Flower, Stynes, Lyon, Neitz, Gawn

Trac and Oliver will be in there in a few years

He took some really strong contested marks yesterday which was a lovely sight.    

In -    Bowey, Petty

Out -  Hunt, Tomlinson

Along with Petty's  comeback to footy.

He will force Tomlinson out of the team soon which would be a huge plus for us.

Even though it's a practice game against Richmond (reigning Premiers no less), don't think I've seen a better game from Jake Lever.

Solid in defence, intercepting and holding his marks. He had a big influence in the win. 

I'll go out on a limb and say Max and Jake were our two best players. 

Don't tell me the Tigers weren't trying. 

Lever was awesome.  Thats the player we envisioned when we poached him from the Crows.   As the commentators were saying people can easily forget hes only 24, seems like hes been around forever.

He also did his ACL a couple of years ago which seems to get glossed over too.  This could be his year.

Kane Cornes, Andy Maher and Rob Murphy

Imagine being stuck in a room with these three for a few hours.  A fate worse than death.

Bowey too good.  Wont take long for him to debut

Good win by the dees especially against an all full premiership side. Chandler a real surprise packet. Gawn, Lever and Petracca fantastic.

 

ROUND 1 TEAM

B: HUNT, MAY, LEVER

HB: SALEM, TOMLINSON, RIVERS

C: LANGDON, PETRACCA, BAKER

HF: PICKETT, MCDONALD, CHANDLER

F: FRITSCH, JACKSON, SPARGO

FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY

IC: BRAYSHAW, HARMES, JONES, JETTA

EMERG: SPARROW, JORDON, NEAL-BULLEN, VANDENBERG

Get Harmes out of there.  

Excited to get a first look at Rosman

Chandler would fill a huge need for us if he can continue that form into the real season

Any news on what has happened to Chandler 

Yeah hes become a star

Kade Chandler looking good

Hunt, Jones and ANB still being on our list is embarrassing

Our kicking skills are still woeful

Ed Langdon is a beast

Great goal james Jordon
