Why he had a poor pre season and was pantsed against the Maggots in the praccie match.
Nank is apparantly training very well now and fitter, so he wont miss.
Broad wont miss either, he's become an important member of the side and also played pretty well in round 1, and very well in the pre season.
Noah is gonna have to wait he had his chance pre season and didn't do what was required to take it early doors.
Are we talking your garden variety duck here TT or a more vibrant duck with energy and flashy coloured feathers?
Don't think Broady misses again, unless he gets his phone out, after a few drinks celebrating 2020 premiership.

Tom Melbourne falling just short on the big stage time after time: you sound like a Collingwood supporter.

I'd like a training update on Higgo. I expect he's been putting in extra hard yards in iso, and would love a track watcher to confirm where he's coming in the testing.
Higgo was the cleanest of the 8 forwards in greasy conditions on Saturday.
Tom Melbourne won 5 from his first 6 starts including an Albury Cup in the mud where he nearly went over the outside fence by memory . Then won one from next 45 starts
Pass
Both Broad and Nank have been very good for us but I still feel Balta is the better player. He is faster and a better kick.
He is going to be handy down back if Cox gets away on us and better around the ground.
Not to worried about his pre season He is now fit and I think a player with great potential who deserves a chance at this point in the season. He is one who has the class to come up, and fit in at the higher level.
Neither Broad nor Nank played well against Carlton.
If Houli is available maybe he and Noah will come in.

So he's like Collingwood winning premierships during the War and Depression years but getting the wobbles near the finishing post after that. It's a bit unfair on @eZyT to paint Stackman with the same brush.
Cox was all over him in the Praccie match.
That was his audition he was nowhere near it.
He was afforded plenty of games last year with the injuries.
CCJ has likely already overtake him as relief ruck / forward should Nank or Soldo get injured or rubbed out, that leaves him as the KPD under construction, even Garth played ahead of him once
Noah for mine just isn't quite ready for AFL key position defence, he doesn't read the play or position himself well enough yet to be honest, he is big enough absolutely and an athletic monster but he's not a natural footballer he is an athlete, he will get there and will be a real handful when he does but he aint there just yet for mine and I like him too.
Hes being educated by Leppa just as Rance was when he was held back as the Tigers played inferior players in McGuane and Moore ect to buy time for Ranceys education. The season hold up has been detrimental to Noah and CCJ and Dow and RCD so far ,tbh.
I enjoyed seeing him just have the run of the ground as a follower or wingman, when at AFL level as hes not quite AFL KPP ready just yet especially in defence. His awareness, and positioning needs to improve, which he would be working on at VFL level especially with Leppa.
The fact hes been earmarked for KPD means we likely wont see much of him anymore sadly in a roving role at AFL level anymore save for a point of difference match up, as he is being groomed and educated for a role.
I feel ya excitement man! Maybe next year he will be the man, I like the prospect he is and what he will bring, it will be exciting but he aint walking into a 2 time premiership defence.
As for the re start Houli yes will likely walk back in and I'm tipping save for injury it will likely be for either Graham or Stack.
Stackies not so glorious return from iso and Grahams poor round 1 game have them both in the gun, unless someone is injured I feel Bash will replace one of these guys.
Higlet is coming along quickly too by reports.
Its gonna get hot real fast.
