Round 1: Port Adelaide Vs North Melbourne - Sunday 28th March - 12:40pm Local.

[The Smaller Warrior]

Updated the first post to represent both teams.

Interesting to see no Lobbe, but the inclusion of Trengove.

Very happy to see Moore, Hitchcock, Banner, Schulz, Trengove and Harding all in. Will be interesting to see who gets cut.

 

[powermacs]

I hope that's a typo, Salopek on the HBF, god I hope not.

 

[BlazingDon#9]

Will Stewart make the cut or is it 50/50?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Definitely should make it.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

I hope that's a typo, Salopek on the HBF, god I hope not.

Those positions don't really mean anything... it's basically just to name who's playing.

 

[BlazingDon#9]

Definitely should make it.

Cheers, I'm a big fan of his have watched him a fair bit hoping he can do me a good job in dreamteam

 

[simba_]

Scott, Mitch, Justin....... and... one more, it'll be horrid cutting the bench down. Great to see Davenport in the 18, fantastic. Very very excited.......

congrats to Moore, Hitchcock, and Schulz who have been named in the starting 18.

Reckon Gray will go, Trengove, Harding, Banner, Westhoff and Stewart will play.

 

[DexterK]

Salopek back to HBF, Robbie back to HFF and Kornes back on the ball. I hope we take somethink from the last few weeks into the next few.

 

[Zenn]

It's great to see Moore named in the 18. In my opinion one thing that came out of the Collingwood game with surj out there was the lack of a lockdown small defender so getting games into Moore and developing him quick will be helpful should surj go down.

Surprised that Daniel Stewart is not at least named and no Lobbe or Cloke makes me nervous. Lets hope the Hoff puts in a blinder in the ruck.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

These guys will come in IMO.

Jackson Trengove, Scott Harding, Mitch Banner, Justin Westhoff, Nick Salter

I reckon one of Motlop or Gray will not come up and Salter will play forward.

 

[King_Tredrea]

Certainly odd that D.Stewart is not in the squad. Paul Stewart isn't a typo is it?

 

[Schulzenfest]

No Daniel Stewart = , he impressed me more than Schulz did.

No idea who's going to get dropped from the extended bench. Westhoff's a guaranteed starter, but Harding, Banner, Stewart and Salter are just about impossible to split. Unless Gray/Motlop drops out, one of those guys can consider himself very unlucky.

 

[Macca19]

Happy to see some different names in there. Well done to Hitchy and Moore for making their debut, and for Sarg for making his Power debut. Hope to see Banner and Harding in there too.

 

[Zvim]

Updated with North's Line Up, with Ports to come.

Interesting to note Robbie Tarrant (My Third or so Cousin) getting a game, and Bastinac playing his first.

If Tarrant plays it will be his first game as well.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

If Tarrant plays it will be his first game as well.

Fingers crossed he does well for you guys,

The family has always watched closely on Chris so its good to see Robbie getting a shot.

 

[wapower]

I sincerely hope that is a team named with players and not positional. If Salojet is on the halfback flank and not in the midfield where he belongs then the selection committee needs to visit the Red Queen.

 

[240volt]

We only have so many (should win games this year) this is one of them
can not afford to let this one slip must be full on from first bounce

Same, I like what he brought to our forward line, maybe it's a match up thing.

 

[JHF1870]

Paul Stewart is a certain starter

Not sure Why Daniel Stewart isn't playing, maybe strategic reasons?


I'd say it should be

P stewart If not Trengove but stewart is first imo
J Westhoff
Banner
Harding

that gives an even spread of players over the field.

I'm thinking Moore has something that has impressed the coaching staff, he's not physically big atm, but must be doing something right.

 

[PJ Power]

Surprised that Daniel Stewart is not at least named and no Lobbe or Cloke makes me nervous. Lets hope the Hoff puts in a blinder in the ruck.

This is what stands out to me too. Would love to see Trengove get the third tall defender's job and Salter the other tall forward's gig for this game. If anyone doesn't come up, I'm hoping it will be Motlop rather than Gray. We can ill afford not to have Robbie for this one.

Primus says he is a contest junky

 

[Macca19]

Schulz is more ready to go than D-Stew is. I can see why they made that choice.

Daniel will get his chance soon enough.

You forget Choco's rules of trading no. 1, players traded for get a gold pass the first few rounds.

Wooo to Salopek at HB, Kornes in the centre and no Lobbe. Is that 2009 I hear calling? Still I'll wait to see how we actually line up and play before I break out the Choco voodoo doll.

Don't care what anyone says - not playing Lobbe is idiocy.
