[The Nostradamus]

hopefully drop someone from the 18 again

Young got to be dropped

Does Perez still have a niggle or did he train this week?

 

[giantroo]

Livewire forward Robbie Hansen jnr is a chance for his AFL debut, after being added to the squad for the first time since arriving at Arden Street as pick No.2 in the 2023 mid-season draft.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Phillips greenwood archer and hansen Jnr final bench for mine

Ziebell can stay sub

 

[viccles]

Young still in??

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Higgins in to claim the Kerridge

 

[Troy Make Peace]

Ideally I'd have Phillips, Goldy, Arch & Hansen Jr as the bench - Greenwood the sub.

All debuts are usually announced so l cant see him getting a call up yet. Most likely against the Eagles..

 

[kool kangas]

Goldy, Greenwood, Phillips and Archer with Lazzaro as sub but l think that they will go with either Howe or Ziebell as sub..

Main training is tomorrow so could be announced then

 

[Rod Stroker]

The double Showdown!

Campbell versus North!
Ratts versus St. Kilda!

 

[Rod Stroker]

When 26 players are named, and Dawson ain't one of them, despite his decent VFL performances and our need to get better in defence, it pretty much confirms it's over for him.

 

[zoomba23]

A lot hinges on that bench. Any configuration that involves JZ and/or Howe is a pisstake. No Bergman to be seen is a bit weird too.

Not that it matters that much of course. Into the shitstorm we go once again

100% agree with you for once. Stephenson out Bobby in!

Then Greenwood, Phillips Laz and Arch on the bench.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Bobby Lachie!

 

[Wonderdog]

If cunners can’t get in now with no Simpkin or Wardlaw then he ain’t getting in. Sad for a legend of the Club.

 

[Disco Dew]

I’d be happy with this

Has a calf injury

Agree, although I can't see why he hasn't been tried at AFL level this year. Given the state of our backline with McKay may go, Logues our for most of next year, McDonald, Zieibell, Young, wouldn't Dawson be worth one more year as a back up?

 

[Premieroos]

In a way it might be a blessing in disguise that we don't fall bellow West Coast to get the #1 pick because if we get the #1 pick we are kinda obligated to get Reid, and yes he will be a superstar, but we've gone above and beyond drafting the midfield over the last few years while neglecting to address the back line and forward line. We need the cream of the crop but we need to recruit KPs in both posts. Our midfield still has many problems, and we need to address the ruck stocks too, but it is time to rebuild both ends of the ground.

What hurts even more is that Reid, by all accounts so far, is head and shoulders above the likes of Powell (too slow, can't get a spot anyway) and Phillips (physically slow and small, no guaruntee that he'll find consistent form, let alone become elite), who we've used our top of the table picks on in recent years.

 

[shinboner magic]

Greenwood arch Phillips Goldy and Howe as sub.
Big fan of young but he’s been putrid and should be dropped

 

[krakouers]

Raw as hell but I love it

Thanks Brady

 

[bennymate]

I, for one, welcome our Dan Howe overlord.

 

[JGreezy]

This will 100% be preparation for him to debut next week, at home against the bottom side.

It makes too much sense.
