If SDK doesn't play it's going to put a hole in the rookie defenders. It's very thin down there as it is.
He is playing. It's been confirmed.

Rd2 though .... who knows lol

Thats good. Gibcus getting named on the bench is a bigger worry imo. It says he's only just managed to do enough to be named.

Nank in doubt isn't he?
Soldo is named at full forward.
Balta back pocket.

That could all move and Gibcus could start on the ground.

Vlastuin is the concern when he returns. But it's up to Josh to put in a strong effort now.

He was spoken about in here for a little while and might get a game at some stage but unlikely early is the general understanding. One to keep an eye on but not rely on
Titsass is not going to play. He had an injury recently, and is behind quite few others.

He was signed to play VFL and be good depth in an injury crisis.

Where's Hollands at ? .....strange he's not in R1 consideration, given he played a lot of state league last year

He played 3 games I think. Then the VFL got canned. Is that what you mean by 'state league"

You've said this a few times Wayne, I'm not sure what's got you so convinced a kid who has played 3-4 games in two years just walks into the team? He will get games though, just be patient.

Nank came out of isolation at midnight. Soldo will be the main ruck, Balta will move forward and play there 3rd mid sized/tall forward role because he’s been training for that all pre season. Gibcus replaces Balta and Astbury gets replaced by Tarrant. So it’ll be Broad, Grimes, Gibcus, Tarrant, Vlaustuin and Short I reckon at full strength with Rioli rotating through.
 
For those that are holding onto hope he is picked, Will Kelly has gastro. Zero chance to play now (was already very slim).

Madgen/Ruscoe will play, then next week we regain Maynard.
 
Will Rory Thompson please stand up? :p

No, I’m deadly serious…
 
So who’s the most likely 123k def (outside De Koning) because I really don’t want 170k on the bench.
There won't be one. Pay up for Gibcus (or Sinn if we're lucky), or take a 102k loop. You can't pick a player who doesn't exist.

Do we really have a choice?

Some think Wilmot will play in rd2, but he's still $140k.
O'Driscoll another, though Fyfe will likely miss rd1, then come in for rd2, so he's down the pecking order (Brodie will play and get solid mid minutes, and Erasmus also in 2s).
Fahey is $117k and has been touted as a potential rd1 debutant, but who knows. What's his long term JS like?
Cox at the Lions is an almost 25 year old mature ager. Gun player by all accounts, not sure he breaks into the Lions team soon though.

I think I'm just going to start Gibcus and plonk McCartin on the bench. Not only does it make me feel better, but it's a handy little POD for the round. Literally just a fluke who scores better, whichever manages to take random intercept marks/spoils or gets some chips from their seagulls.
