Cumbo and Sonsie played when we beat Brisbane in the 2022 final in Brisbane - so there is a few players for depth..! Throw in Jack Graham too .Blues missing Weitering, Docherty & Walsh. We get Martin, Lynch & Nank back & are basically at full strength on the G.
We won't get a better shot this year.
So if we can't get this done or at least be competitive in a close loss it's going to be a very tough season ahead.
My fear is it will be anyway. The depth of our squad just isn't there.
Gut says Blues by 15.
My concern with that is Curnow will drag Broad to the goal square and make it a battle of strength.Broad definately the one for Leysy.
Has kept these athletic talls like Cameron in check previously.
Not sure Grimesy has the athleticism these days.

Yeah good call JackWe rested players for this game and paid a heavy price last week with the side uncompetitive for an hour. We will have had a heavy week leading into that game and this week will have done nothing. So. We should be surprisingly fresh.
RFC has a lot invested in this game. It's planned.
Whatever we can produce in the Phoney Season we will produce. I expect Carlton to be off. Teams no longer set their fixtures around beating us. Carlton were set last week and this week they play some dud side. Nineteenthmond.
It's up to Yze and his lieutenants to deliver tonight. We are set for this game.
Yeah good call Jack
We aren’t a prize scalp any more and could take a few of our own
Makes me more confident. We will bully them out of this game.
Would Stafford be our last 'bully', or would The Plumber?Ha ha I hope you are right
Bullied though? We aren’t nasty these days
Shorty had a very poor audition as Captain.Interesting that Jack Riewoldt said that on field, the team was very quiet last week. No voices. That’s not good.
Hopefully Lynch and Nank improve that. (Dusty is a Humphrey).
