Prediction Team Round 1 WB V North Marvel 7.35 PM 15/3/25

[adogsfan5]

Gardener? I thought he was delisted like two years ago.

Been playing forward and ruck at training and Bevo always does something weird round one. With no Marra, he is my weird option.

Any news on how bad?!

They didn’t really say but said no timeline for return to training

Was as a result of a knock so will train but on a modified program

I'll miss the start of the season.

I'll be in Nashville for our round one match. It starts at 3:30am local time.

I'll be in New York for our round two match... Local start time of 2:30am.

Google seems to suggest there are a few Aussie bars in New York but the question I have which Google can't seem to answer is whether any of them stream the footy... Does anyone know / recommend anywhere in particular?

When I have travelled for longer periods - I have subscribed to this - works well

$24 for a week, $44 for a month. Basically the foxtel coverage watchable overseas

Also - when I lived in Atlanta for a while, I played Aussie rules in the league over there

https://usafl.com/ - the teams over there by state will know where to see a game at a pub.Sometimes very hard to find - but if anyone knows, these teams will.The Nashville Kangaroos, and the New York Magpies will have an idea.

Wouldn’t be an Aussie Bar if they’re not streaming the footy. But whether they are open at 2:30am is another matter. Maybe in the city that never sleeps you will be ok.


If you’re not here for Round 1 don’t forget to put in an early entry to begin the defence of your Pieman title.

HB: CD Corr McKercher


FB: Archer Logue Dawson


R: Xerri LDU Wardlaw


I/C: Scott Phillips ZDuursma Parker

Next Young: W.Dawson, M.Whitlock, George, Maley

You'll probably still win comfortably but can hope it's a bit closer than what has transpired of late.

Good luck for Season 2025, can only hope you bounce back and take down one of the big clubs with their shit supporter bases. Much prefer it were you boys obviously.

*Edited for those who do SuperCoach-type competitions.

Reckon we’ve got you at either end of the ground, but could have trouble in the middle, primarily thanks to Xerri

Comfortably. You beat us by 16 goals last time and even without JUH (such a North situation despite it being you boys) - I think you win by 25+. We'll be much better but still have a few holes which I'm sure you'll find. You always seem to!

 

[TheScriptorWL]

With JJ ruled out and English and Marra in doubt for Rd1. Magnets must be moved.

Buss to debut down back. Allowing Lobb to ruck?

Dolan in For Ugle-Hagan. Is that Too soon? I just love the look of that kid.

Kennedy looks sharp so he can take over For Richards in the middle. Leaving Ed free to play Half Back.

English trained well today so I think he'll be fine, but it seems like we're banking on Gardner as a backup ruck. Dolan isn't exactly a like-for-like for JUH, Davidson seems way more likely.

Richards stays in the midfield.

Davidson looks like a round 1 lock at this stage, as a High half forward / wing.

I will concede that Davidson’s aerial ability makes him a better 1for1 replacement. But in a similar sense having another high flyer with Darcy and Naughton, will drive me crazy.

Dolan's a talent but I suspect any other senior AFL player will eat him

 

[Doggies7]

If Davidson is to play more of a high half forward role with Jamarra likely to miss, who then plays the other wing opposite Bailey Williams?

The main wing rotations through pre-season seemed to be Williams, Davidson, Arty Jones, Croft and Baker. Poulter has been more forward and Freijah down back. I wonder if a smokey like Luke Kennedy winds up there round 1 or is it just an inside mid ala Sanders / M Kennedy / Garcia gets pushed out there? Vanders with his pace does make sense and we seem to have a fair few small - mid fwds.

Give him a couple of years.

Bailey Dale still gets handed a coloured pencil set every time he boards an aircraft for an interstate game.

TBH I expect we rotate McNeill and Davidson there. Davidson has been a revelation and McNeill has improved markedly this pre-season.

I don't mind the sound of that.

No second wing. Bold strategy.

Coffield is in the rehab group.

I'm still not sold on Harmes but by all accounts he's in ripping condition so certainly grabs a bench spot, as you have him.
