Any idea if the unofficial games will be televised anywhere?

 

[Exambolor]

Any idea if the unofficial games will be televised anywhere?

I think I read somewhere that Kayo are streaming the first week? Don’t quote me on it though

Dancing with your sister strange way to announce that Tasmania got a team

So "dancing" is what they're calling it these days huh?

[WaynesWorld19]

Who are you keeping an eye on this week ?

 

[Mezzoculo]

The Gold Coast list needs more Tom Berry...

 

[Shadow89]

So errrr...couple of very interesting non-inclusions, Fantasy wise, for squads just released (none really that relevant for the GC/Essendon game - that aren't injured):

Geelong -

Mitch Duncan

Hawthorn -

Cam Mackenzie

 

[Shadow89]

The Gold Coast list needs more Tom Berry...

I reckon the Carlton list needs more Adam Cerra! That's my one glaring omission

 

[Tex Danger]

Geelong -

Mitch Duncan

Hawthorn -

Cam Mackenzie

Mackenzie hopefully is just been managed.

Solid internal last week. Rest this week and proper hit out next week

Not unheard of for rookies to follow that path to a rd 1 debut

Surprising given how many are named though. I actually hope he doesn't play Round 1, given the news surrounding Ed Allan possibly playing Round 1 and being 20K cheaper

Maybe because they have so many babes they’d rather spread the mid opportunities a bit across the games

 

[Shadow89]

Who are you keeping an eye on this week ?

Incred list. Would add these for mine:

Cats:

Danger
Bruhn

Hawks:

D. Moore

GC:

T. Berry

Tigers:

J. Clarke
M. Rioli

North:

Sheezel

Blues:

Cerra
Newman

Pies:

A. Draper

Lions:

Gunston

Crows:

ROB (or lack of him, given Thilthorpe's apparent usurping of his R1 position)

Port:

Visentini

So what I'm heading is round 1 sub

 

[Shadow89]

Yep that's my fear too...

 

[11kgm]

Yep that's my fear too...

In before Ginbey Mackenzie and co are all subs

 

[Mezzoculo]

Yep that's my fear too...

MacKenzie subs out Weddle....

Mackenzie not named in box hill squad do it’s managed (or injured) not relegated

Port:

ROB > Thilthorpe in the intraclub much. If he goes well in the next couple of matches, he'll replace English.

So what I'm heading is round 1 sub

I'm really hoping clubs identify the absurdity of naming 1st year players as subs.

Either give them full games in the AFL if they're ready. And if they're not, let them play in the 2's.

There is no benefit from them missing opportunities to gain match fitness, just to play 1x quarter of AFL.
