I think this is the team we go with now that Culley is good to go. B: McDonald, Turner, Petty HB: Salem, Lever, Lindsay C: Langford, Steele, Langdon HF: Sparrow, Van Rooyen, Fritsch F: K Pickett, Mihocek, Chandler R: Gawn, Windsor, Rivers I: Jiath, L Pickett, Tholstrup, Culley, Howes

If he does miss, which I doubt he does, Melky can come in for him.

Kentfield medial and in a knee brace for a month per Ralphy’s tweet in the below post.

Starting to think that no news is good news.. 🤞🏼

Why? The motion didn’t look like an ACL injury at all plus dannyz (generally reliable) has said initial diagnosis is that the ACL is intact.

Jefferson bone stress injury in his foot.

Concussion.

@Ghostwriter Any word on whether our Origin boys will be available for this match?

I’ll happily join if there’s room.

Pickett midfield. Petty defence.

His nickname is ‘Ron’.

Nickname is ‘Ron’ for those who didn’t already pick that up from the footage.

Didn’t realise how tall he is. 195cm midfielder!

Welcome Onley!

Sounds as though we can just about lock in Nairn with one of our first two picks. X Taylor or Farrow highly likely with the other pick.

Farrow and Nairn according to Twomey. Cumming and Robey to the Tigers. X Taylor and Sharp to Essendon with the two picks before ours. No surprises at the top.

I have high hopes for Culley this season. Doubt the club would be assigning the guernsey of a club legend to just anybody.
