Not open for further replies.
watch Carlton fans get cocky now. it reminds me of the Richmond in the dark years... the media rev us up in the leadup to R1. We are all led to believe “its gonna be different this year.” Nek Minnut, get spanked.
Lel.....they won a game decided by 5 points in which they received 6 goals from 8 50m penalties.
Let em get excited.

Looking at the teams coming through on this thread most still don't have Mansell even in the squad for round 1.

Still reckon he does (and should) play.
Pick 7 from:
Grimes, Tarrant, Broad, Short, Rioli, Vlastuin, Ralphsmith, Mansell, Miller, Gibcus.

If we dont pick either Miller or Gibcus, then it is Mansell or Ralphsmith.
I reckon we pick a tall.

All that might change after tomorrow though.
 
Update with Lambert out.

HB: Short Gibcus Broad

Foll: Nankervis Prestia Cotchin
Int: Ross Rioli Mansell Soldo
Swap out Aarts for Marlion and am in total agreement

Got most of their early goals against us from memory in the past couple of season openers from frees.

Agree. Only issue will be Vlastuin. If he doesn't get up, assume Pickett will play.

I’d have Vlastuin at CHB instead of Gibcus who I’m not sure will play despite his very promising start. Some further development in the twos can only be a good thing.
Rioli to HBF and Broad to BP.
I’d bring in Stack or Pickett to the bench because they offer versatility.

You make good points DA. But feel like today was the dress rehearsal. Apart from Vlastuin I can’t see anyone else coming into the team. Aarts the one for me to make way for Vlastuin.

(Sorry @Stackey)

I don't like Aarts but I think he will play. Think it will be a toss of the coin between Ross and Ralphsmith but I feel RS has edged him on form thus far.

If it was my team I'd have Aarts out and Ross in.
Ross was playing wing today. He gets first crack.

Cheers Smoking.
Can’t see Vlastuin being “relegated” to the back pocket. He’s a rebounding general who doesn’t usually mind players.
And we need more speed off HB hence starting with Rioli too.
You could be right about not bringing new players into the squad now.
Was more wishful thinking.

Where was Aarts? I spotted him in a centre bounce at one stage but thought he was on the wing as well?
Aarts went into the middle when Prestia was off with his hand injury.

Aarts was playing more half forward / wing. Not the traditional wing that we like Macintosh playing.

My line up was more around who the make up of the backline will be. We like playing 7 down back so most likely all plus Rioli are on the ground at the same time.

It was interesting to see Stack playing wing today in the twos. Not a bad move.

Soldo going to be a big plus this year so hope he gets through the year ok. Gibcus looked ok against Hawkers but I would like him to do a bit of an apprenticeship first before instead of debuting round 1. Looked somewhat light on same as Mansell.
