[Mr Unbelievable]

Hope Cumberland doesn't get named so we can get in a 'practice selection melt' before the real stuff starts

Don't want to go into the season underdone..

Yeah I'd have Cumberland playing before Mansell. Dimmas got to have a scrubber in the fwd 50.

I'll actually severely melt tonight if mansell is named ahead of cumbo

[AstuteTiger]

Only a practice match but Interesting seeing Sonsie and Ralphsmith as emergencies and steely green, Dow and Mansell on the bench
Sonsie coming back from injury guess he'll play a full VFL game

 

[fargothegreat]

At a guess I would say Green is there to play limited minutes when Baker comes off. Better off giving blokes like Hugo and Sonsie a full game in the VFL next week.

Thank **** Cumbo is back where he belongs named at FF.

Perhaps the most surprising thing is Miller being named as an emergency, especially considering Tarrant is out. Now I think that Miller will play as 2nd ruck and 3rd tall forward but unless he's carrying a knock or something it's strange he isn't included. Considering we have otherwise named a full-strength team (barring injuries) is it possible we are going to see Ryan or less likely maybe Soldo as the no.2 ruck come round 1?

I don't mind Young playing ahead of Miller in defence just to see what he can do incase Tarrant doesn't get up for round one/is rested throughout the year but I do find his exclusion strange in terms of the number 2 ruck.

 

[domin8]

I like good mix of experience and giving a few a chance to put their hand up. Solid hit out No injuries ready to spank Carlton

They must've decided that Soldo and/or Ryan are ahead of him.

Soldo's tap work with this new midfield will be handy

WE ARE GONNA LOOSE !

I understand they rate Young but I just can't see him making his debut in R1 lining up on a Coleman Medalist. Unless Balta and Grimes get the two key forwards and Young is there for TDK or Pittonet resting forward. All assuming of course Tarrant doesn't get up. It seems Young has raced ahead of Biggy as a KPP at any rate.

It will be interesting to see if Miller plays ruck, forward or back in the VFL practice match.

 

[prodigy]

I'm shocked Sonsie wasn't named and will only be playing VFL minutes.
I didn't realise the VFL was on before the AFL practice game, as I live relatively close to Casey Fields, im going to head down for both I think.

Broad prob on limited minutes as well, so would expect he will play round 1 and Young won't. Miller hasn't been training as a defender, surely he's not good enough to just get thrown back now, if he's going to make it as a defender he needs to be there fulltime.

 

[Barnzy]

Sonsie is more talented than a lot of those players name in that squad.

But he's coming back from a niggle so makes sense I guess. Rest of the squad looks good.

 

[Barnzy]

They must've decided that Soldo and/or Ryan are ahead of him.

Soldo's tap work with this new midfield will be handy

Soldo has no impact around the ground or up forward.

Soldo ahead of Miller as 2nd ruck is a bad decision. We saw that end of last season when Miller was very valuable in that role.
