Tommy Stewart in the starting line up - hoping that's a good sign

 

[winty]

Zac Smith playing for the Suns too. It's like our entire 2019 ruck division playing in the one game.

Just for fun, do you think we can get a few Blicavs vs Smith ruck contests - could be a good laugh if Blicavs gets the better of him

 

[Gunf]

I like the fact we are playing some younger guys Kennerly/Jarvis etc

 

[Purrfect pussy]

Safe to say we won’t line up like this round 1, but will good to see a few fresh faces.

Bit surprised to see henderson named, would’ve preferred Schlensog got a go.

Always need more defenders, and slower is better

 

[witsend]

Dalhaus??

 

[HaroLad]

With all the hype about Kreuger you'd expect him to be playing...

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Woohoo footy is back can’t wait to see the boys playing again and a few newbies too.

 

[CatRiot]

With all the hype about Kreuger you'd expect him to be playing...

Knee injury, been in rehab.
A lot of tall timber in the forward line... He might be lucky to get a game this year in the Seniors, unless there is injuries I reckon. Or if he sets it totally alight in the VFL. He's looking a lot bigger though this year.

 

[CatRiot]

What's going on with the forgotten high draft pick L Fogarty?

 

[CatRiot]

No Jack Steven, wonder how his conditioning is going... don't mind if they unleash him when the proper season starts, I reckon if he's fit we may rely on him in the guts.

 

[Catman]

I wouldn't stress too much about players missing. Our remaining practice game is in a fortnight's time, so if a player has a niggle or needs a bit more fitness work, there is time to get that in. There is no way players are going to be risked for a meaningless game in February.

 

[Matthew Jelley]

Line up positives
Constable in
Getting a look at sav, tomahawk and jenkins forward Rohan fit Ablett fit
Close picked on field, hype train
Getting a look at Stephens, Kennerly, Jarvis
Good mix of a fairly strong team with some youth in and others fighting for spots I'm just pumped footy is back!

Still not right from his knee injury

 

[Landgraft]

What's going on with the forgotten high draft pick L Fogarty?

Had ankle surgery after last year's season finished, not much news since. Probably still in the rehab group, which has been a busy place this pre-season.

 

[thejester]

Bitterly disappointed not to see Sam Simpson and his always impeccable socks lining up.

 

[you pick one]

I'll be there to have my first look live at Jarvis,Jenkins,Stevens,Constable,Kennerley,Close and Fort. I will also watch Zuthrie hope Scarlo isn't pulling out chain on him but he'd have had to have a big transformation to break into the back 6 or 7 from last season.
I don't expect we will give to much away Saturday night but the way we set up with Hawk,Rata and Jerker will be worth keeping an eye on as well and where Rohan fits in in all of that.ROLL ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

I wonder how many of these are injured or not ready? I know a few have been in media with issue but a lot have not.
