No. They haven't had one all tournament but rest assured if there is one it'll be posted in here for all to enjoy!
Means i'm going to have to get up nice and early Sunday morning.
11am start down in Geelong. Can't wait!
Curious to know peoples thoughts on Marchbank?
Was hoping he might end up 3rd round to rookie, is he playing himself up the list into 2nd to 3rd round range atm?
Right now I'd have him late first-mid second but depending on needs a team could even pull the trigger earlier. That said he's in a volatile position atm as the sample of his 'goodness' isn't huge - if he shunts it from hereon he'll slide quickly but if he consistently gets in the bests in the champs/tac he could move up even more/solidify himself as a mid-late first selection.

SA have named their team for Round 3...
F: Johansen, Wilkie, Burton
HF: Brown, Hayes, Hamilton
C: Gray, Gore, Gaffney
HB: Stretch, Durdin, Wigg
B: McLean, Ramsey, Vick
R: Spurling, Heaslip, Hone
INT: Elsworthy, Watchman, Press, Sullivan, Neal-Bullen
IN: Gray, Brown, Heaslip, Watchman, Sullivan, Elsworthy
OUT: Gregson (foot), Rose, Miller, Partington, Francis
Still rotating heavily, and it's no surprise to see two of the underaged kids make way. They'll have plenty more chances. Jesse Watchman is finally getting his chance, after putting together two very good games in a row. While 19 year old Tom Gray is also getting a shot. It's hard to imagine anything but an SA win from this game.
Yeah good to see Watchman in after his recent performances. Heaslip too... 27 touches and 4 goals is an impressive effort at any level.
Not too sure it's our best available side... do think Rose, Partington and Francis feature in that but it's a good one. One 'ruck' option less too. Interesting to see Hayes named forward and Durdin back. Will be good to see if that eventuates and if so how they go there.
Anyone going to this match and Tweeting the results or play ??????
I doubt it will be streamed anywhere
With the new rules, we'll probably never see the true 'best 22'. I think this week, they're more taking advantage of playing the weakest side by getting some of the fringe players game time. But having said that, the likes of Gray and Elsworthy will be able to slot straight in and there will be no real loss. And I would argue we're better with both Watchman and Heaslip in the side too.
As for the rucks, young Tim Sullivan is the direct swap for Josh Miller. A combination of Spurling, Durdin and Sullivan/Watchman is still one of the better groups.
