I think with one or two possible ins, this is pretty close to what we will see in round 1.

 

[Bill Haverchuck]

Dow injured?

 

[TigerForce]

Biggie, Martyn and Mozza in but no Stacky, Sonz, Mansell, RCD or Dow?

Maybe those 3 haven't done their homework.

 

[caesar]

Dow injured?

No trained today

Yep will get a shot to play Vlastuins intercept role, that role Miller doesnt fill.

They couldve played Broad in that role instead and given Miller another run too, but have chosen to give the Gibbus another taste.

Martyn, Biggy and Moju just to get a run around and a taste.

Marlion, Stack not named in the side is more interesting to me.

RCD carrying sore ribs apparantly.

Hopefully Junior gets some game time and shows some exciting stuff.

I would've liked to have seen RCD play and what's the go with Pickett, thought he'd be in ahead of a few Or Dimma and co just giving Ross, Martyn, Aarts, Biggy, Brown and Rioli Jnr more game time.​

Ok thanks , hopefully its just the MC feel its better to give him and RCD a full game in the vfl instead of limited game time in seniors with 8 on the bench..
Or perhaps they are genuinely behind Aarts and co in the pecking order

 

[blofield]

No Dow or RCD.

Looking at the interchange bench - our midfield looks light on for rotations. Only Will Martyn and perhaps Aarts.
Would have to be relying on Baker Bolton and Ross spending extended periods in the middle.

 

[shad]

I'm really looking forward to seeing Brown have another run.

Yep. Only player to come back in is Vlastuin.

 

[Redford]

Great ground Devonport Oval. One of the best surfaces you’ll see in Australia.

Australia?
I thought the game was being played in Tassie.


Edit: Just for context I’ll add this

I remember some years back 3AW (Rex Hunt etc) we’re broadcasting from Melbourne for a game that hadn’t started yet.
Anyway they had time to cross to their commentator in Launceston for the start of the game being played there (probably Hawthorn v someone).

I can’t remember his name either - but anyway he gave the team changes and umpires and all that sort of stuff and then said that so and so had won the toss and elected to kick to the Hobart end of the ground and that as a result Hawthorn would be kicking to the Australia end.

There was silence for a moment and then they got stuck into him (with fake outrage really ) and gave him curry for the rest of the day.
Very funny.

Watch out. Here comes Nobet Pays. He’s very defensive about his strange island.

 

[Redford]

Why isn’t Arthur having a run ?

Biggie ?

[Redford]

Keep your eye on Tylar Young’s development……

 

[TigerForce]

M Rioli is the interesting one there for me.

If we are going to play the two rucks in the forward rotation like we did last week, we look very slow on defensive transition.

Maybe they are contemplating having Rioli play the role of forward line Tassie Devil to even that out a bit.

Yeah wondered the same thing. Great chance for Moz to put on a show.

 

[Smoking Aces]

No Mitchell or Omeara for the Hawks tomorrow

 

[TigerMasochist]

If he plays well I'll swim backwards naked, actually never mind.

Up periscope? Still waiting for the walk of shame, not gunna hold my breath waiting to examine your swimming technique.
