I hope the club has done something about the bloody ant problem on the far side grass bank.

I sat down there last week and got stung multiple times by big black ants. Damn things nearly dragged me down into their nest.

Yeah me too, skill got bite scars from the little fockers. We can all do our bit. If we each take dome some ant powder and just sprinkle it where we sit, they'll be gone by Saturday.

Bit surprised by Chapman and also Ryan not being there but Ryan's matched up so much on Fyfe in the sims they may be thinking he's done a decent prep already and they're putting him on ice. :)

All the others are to be expected.

Good news they feel all of Darcy, Emmett and Wilson are fit enough for a run given some early or recent injuries. Especially Darcy.

Darcy could go down like he's been shot in the leg and I'd expect him to get up next week. He's a either gigantic wuss or tough as nails, I cant tell haha

Any explanation there for those two? The rest would be as expected

I call bullshit on being "managed" for the first preseason game haha but so long as it's nothing serious it's all good

The excellent thing though is I can cast my eye over the 37 that are playing and immediately see how we could pick a team of 23 to beat the saints round 1 from that lot alone, let alone squezzing any of these absentees in too
 
Nathan Wilson and Joel Hamling both named. Guess they are the Ryan and Chapman replacements. Hugh Davies and Josh Draper could get a run in defence, too.

Full list for tomorrow;

They are playing two games so Draper and the other draftees will play game 2. Should be fun to watch

I hope they don’t force all of Fyfe, Amiss, Tabs, Jackson and Treacy in game 1. It won’t work in round 1 so don’t try it here ploz. Maybe they’ll have a bigger bench and rotate Amiss/ Treacy.

Will be interesting to see which forwards are picked for Walters and Freddy, one will definitely be Banfield, if Sturt can’t get in there then when can he
 
Walker Cox Young
Clark Pearce Hamling
Henry Brayshaw Aish
Sturt Treacy Jackson
Schulz Taberner Fyfe
Darcy Serong Brodie
Omeara Swit Hughes Amiss

Hows that for the first 22 out of those names? 3 talls in defense as crows generally play 3 tall forwards - Banners probs gets in ahead of Amiss or Sturt :(


Leaves
Sears Davies Wilson
Anderson Draper Worner
Conrad Erasmus Colyer
Knobel Benning Corbett
Emett Kuek Banfield
Reidy Johnson Hewitt
Tregenza Wemm Tuia Wyburd Polson

Maybe shifts one up from the 23 to make it 23 in the first half, so Banfield or Wilson elevated?

It happened a few times in the sims and worked fine. I wouldn't mind seeing it tried against another mob to see how it goes in more realistic settings. Stretches the defence. Perfect time to try it out I reckon.
