Not many Ruckman are 15cm/15kg bigger than van Rooyen tbf. Would make a ruckman 209cm/115kg Verrall will be our 2nd choice option come Gather Round with being the #! in the VFL. Schache/Fullerton could pinch hit for now while being permanent forwards whilst Petty is in rehab

We literally have none McDonald and Brown are cooked which leaves us.........................

Can't believe we have overlooked Wardell Lual. He played in the GF for Werribee last year, 192cm/92kg defender.

Would not like to see T McDonald as our CHB, Hore can be the 3rd tall down back which leaves Lever actually playing a defensive role. Salem might need a week in the VFL to get himself match fit. Considering Sydney will have 3 talls up forward it will be no surprise if Tomlinson gets the nod ahead of Hore and T McDonald B: Hore>Haywood, May>Amartey, McVee>Papley HB: Bowey>Florent, Lever>McDonald, Rivers>Heeney C: Hunter, Sparrow, Langdon HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Fullerton, Billings FOLL: Gawn, Petracca, Viney IC: Woewodin, Oliver, Brayshaw, Spargo SUB: Tomlinson EMERG: K. Brown, Windsor, Laurie

It's concerning we don't have real depth Fullerton played minimal at the Lions and Schache has been in and out his whole career Jefferson still is a while away

Nothing about McAdam in the report which is why i am asking

How's McAdam?

Straight set exits 2 seasons in a row is the reasoning. List is obviously older and injury/health concerns with 2 of our best players (Clarry/Gus). No real 2nd Ruck option if Max goes down is an issue. We are a great season starter so those odds will be shorter come Adelaide

The OP said he is in the rehab team and not looking flash

Geez i really hope McAdam is one of those blokes who we can't get 100% fit

If that's the case, he wouldn't be going hard at it first week back of pre season Be interesting the hear his official comeback time

That's why i am thinking he is progressing faster than expected

Is Melksham available Round 1? Looks in good shape

Simply not good enough and Goody will be sacked

Best backline in the comp Spargo will make way for Kozzy once he serves his suspension

Fox Footy have come up with our predicted lineup for Round 1 Don't mind it B: Adam Tomlinson, Steven May, Trent Rivers HB: Judd McVee, Jake Lever, Christian Salem C: Lachie Hunter, Clayton Oliver, Ed Langdon HF: Alex Neal-Bullen, Bailey Fritsch, Charlie Spargo F: Shane McAdam, Harrison Petty, Jacob van Rooyen FOLL: Max Gawn, Christian Petracca, Jack Viney I/C: Angus Brayshaw, Jake Bowey, Tom Sparrow, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler (sub)

Some people have short memories He was in our best 23 before he was struck down with injury Is one of the best defenders in the VFL last few seasons since the injuries

Wrong Moore

Let's hope Max grows some balls and has a crack also Get's bullied too much

Don't think he is AFL material tbh Is he happy to play at Casey?

He didn't accidently miss his flight

No He stayed in Alice because he wasn't confident of testing well

Disappointing to hear Orlando Turner had refused to attend the combine No commitment by the looks of it

Put a line through Turner Failed to show up to the combine

And Petty, Melksham were available
