FTB

Oh and Windsor in for somebody..

So sounds like; OUT: Johnson, Sharp IN: Turner, Pickett You would expect that if Lever is good to go then he would replace the player who was a late in for him last week, which was Howes.

I’m actually going to this game. What the hell is wrong with me?

OUT: Jefferson (inj), Woewodin (omit) IN: Johnson, Langford Sub: Sharp

Does anybody have the inside word on who our sub will be? You would think it will be a debutant. Kind of hoping it’s Sharp as I hate the notion of somebody playing their very first game in the AFL as sub. Sharp could be an absolute weapon coming on when all others are tiring, cutting up the opposition with his speed. Would make sense to replace one of the talls in Johnson or Jeffo.

For future reference, how did you get it to post as the picture rather than just the link?

Per Tom Morris on Twitter.

6 Dee debutants! Langford, Lindsay, Jeffo, Johnson and Hendo. Sharp club debut too.

Keeffe will ruck with Gruzewski providing relief.

Any indication of the likely 22 that will play on Sunday? Seems as though most teams have been naming 26, then 22 play from the start with the other four either featuring minimally or not at all.

B: Howes, May, Petty HB: Salem, Lever, Windsor C: Billings, Oliver, Sharp HF: Fritsch, Turner, Petracca F: Chandler, JVR, Henderson R: Gawn, Viney, Rivers I: Langdon, Bowey, Sparrow, Langford Sub: Lindsay/Woey

Melksham highly unlikely to be match-fit by round 1. Laurie over Billings? Wouldn’t have thought so judging by what we’ve seen this pre-season.

So unfortunate for McAdam but this opens the door for Jefferson now I reckon. Fairly sure that he was in the ‘A’ team for match sim either earlier this week or last week when McAdam was sitting out so sounds as though he is next in line. Round 1 team B: Howes, May, Petty HB: Salem, Lever, Windsor C: Billings, Oliver, Sharp HF: Fritsch, Turner, Petracca F: Jefferson, JVR, Chandler R: Gawn, Viney, Rivers I: Bowey, Langdon, Sparrow, Langford, Lindsay Suspended: Pickett Injured: Tholstrup, McVee, McAdam

McAdam possibly ahead of Jeffo for a round 1 spot by the sounds?

No Windsor today either so wonder whether Rivers goes back to the midfield once Caleb returns.

This is awesome BLWNBA. If possible could you please provide an update on which of the fringe players are on the ‘A’ team for match sim?

Chandler?

It does seem as though Windsor will play off half-back this season per training reports. Who do we think plays on the opposite wing to Langdon though? I’m not convinced that Sharp is in our best 22 just yet. I can’t even squeeze Sparrow into our best 22. Bowey on one of the wings perhaps?

Absolute quality work from the track watchers. Those of us who can’t make it to any training sessions won’t miss a beat if this standard continues.

The poster didn’t say it was our club that was hosting the function.

Say that to JVR’s face.

Mentha locked in. https://twitter.com/MitchKeat/status/1859560665196921343

Shane Mumford vibes. And I LOVE it!

Highlights package on the MFC website actually reminds me of Pendles. This kid is silk. Compliments Langford beautifully too. Welcome, Xavier! https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1694853/afl-draft-pick-no11-xavier-lindsay
