I reckon the team we put out in the last Rd in 2016 would give any 2012 team a run for its money.
Disappointed not to see any of Clarke, Coulthard or McAuliffe. Understand Sonsie might need a run in the twos first.. but he is another who should be in this side to inject some class asap.
Not so sure. Balta and Nankervis will both be used in the ruck, which means that Balta is more likely to play forward.
If all goes well in the backline Lefau may not be needed but I wouldn’t count on all going well.
Tony Braxton-Hicks
There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
The Frenchman can play relief ruck, saving Balta's efforts as a forward target.
Pleased to see Lefau selected.
A strong unit, he can run through the defenders, enabling crumbers.
Don't normally watch much of other games but saw that St Kilda established the early momentum.
They bombed the ball in to the pack quickly before the Pies could settle their defence.

Nothing surer than after Port kick the first 5 goals Balta will be sent back.
The backline as it lines up is going to get killed. Far too small. Kosi just had to come in to play CHB.

All possibilities. On Mykelti and Noah, I have been following both pretty closely since their respective arrivals.
Just have a sense that they are going to be very good for us. They seem to mirror each other in their backgrounds, and in many of their football actions. Really looking forward to seeing them play together.
Some of those selected must be aware that they face a genuine challenge to keep their positions.
It won’t hurt their motivation and performance and maybe it helps us get off to a good start.
Wasn’t dimma’s first ever win against port when we were severely undermanned and rank underdogs? History might repeat tomorrow. Sure, in that game we had Lids & Cuz, and some babies in Astbury, Cotch, Edwards, Dusty and Jack but we also had Webberley, Matt White, Ben Nason, Gus Bus, Mitch Farmer & Andrew Collins.
I am aware they are getting selected.
I am not in Match Committee but yes I am sure they have their reasons and roles.
I am coming from the angle being my opinion..!! Which I stand by as well.
At least my opinion is clear
Very little chance of winning this, but I’d love to see it so Seth can celebrate a win.
Over there and the conditions were horrendous. They were also celebrating a club milestone. We’d been getting close without taking the chocolates. I think it was Griffiths (Griffens for Zips) debut, too.
In next week for mine possibly with Broad and Hopper and Young.
Get the higher quality juniors in now and start getting games into them and have them embedded into the new core fabric going forward.
Lots of blokes under the pump tomorrow which is only a good thing.
Miller, MRJ Mansell, Dow, Banks,, Ross. Trezise and Brown probably those most at risk of being replaced if things go poorly tomorrow.
Banks probably gets the vest or Junior.
