Team v Gold Coast

Didn't Yze see our treacle slow starting midfield of Taranto, Hopper and Prestia get carved up at the start of 2023?

2 rucks as well, not a fan, refer to 2023 Melbourne as exhibit A of how that turned out.

interesting team - some youth and some speed, some old hands ...

all of a bit of an experiment really and I'm fine with that

swap Ryan for Cumberland ?

Tom berry in.

We win

Uwlands has AFL qualities, but hes not ready. Charlie cameron kicked 5 on him in a quarter.

$hai could kick 10 if stubborn dimma has a gummy at 1/4 time

Surprised to see Banks and Rioli Jnr in the team but whatever, good luck to them.

I'm equally surprised re banks and even though he looks to be a player of the future he hasn't done enough to walk straight in. Junior has done stuff all to be included in the team and makes a mockery of people saying Cumberland needs to do this and that.
if anything Steely Green should've got the nod but maybe the club didn't want to have two debutants to start the season.

No one would have predicted that team, junior, banks on the wing, Ryan in the squad

we actually have speed in the forward line with Bolts, Baker, Junior and Steely - aim to obviously pressure their defence

Steely is an emergency. or do you mean Seth Campbell?
 
how much of a say does the head coach have when it comes to selection? doesn't seem to have changed at all...
 
That teams lacking a bit of Steel I must say.

Banks and MRJ ............geez did Teague pick the side or Yze. Didn't think either had had good hit outs recently and Banks has been injured.

Kosi should've been second ruck and played another small as its gonna be a wet game and extra legs will be needed.

Steel and or Cumbo in would've been better for mine.

Oh well the game will tell the story.

Kids in the team I'm happy with that. Brown and Green unlucky. Cumberland did well in the vfl , but he needs to show more and work for it. A few of those senior blokes picked they have been poor last 2 seasons.

You always hear about a selection panel, I'd assume that for us that'd be the coaches + both directors of footy (Livingston & Blair)
