I guess Picky is a bit stiff but very happy to see Batch get named. Reckon two of those EMG's had better pre-seasons than Jacko but then again they aren't in the LG ;D
Footy is finally back. Go you tigers
-
Nahas is in but Vlastuin isn't :o even White had a better pre-season from the games I saw on tv.
-
Seems like we're manned to handle a tall Carlton forward line.
-
Shane Edwards CHF I assume?
Jackson/mcgaune/king. Oh no. :o

Petterd picked up a groin? injury apparently, Coach.
Shane Edwards CHF I assume?
Yep it's Shane, Bents.

Yeah this confused me a bit too, only thing I could think of is that we think Nahas and King give us better foward line preasure to stop the Yarran etc. To me White should be ahead of Nahas based on the pre season.
-
Sigh, I'm normally super positive but with a team consisting of nahas, jackson, mcgaune, instead of vlastuin, white and petterd, I recon we will lose. Dont know what they're thinking.

I think nahas is less shocking than mcgaune. Jackson. King.
In whatever order that'd be the 18-22 in hardwick eyes
-
Sweet Geez mother of god :o
-
McGuane :clapping
Will crash and bash, kick a couple and do his bit.
Hoping we've watched the NAB GF and Nahas' role is keep Yarran close to our goals and can't attack off their half back.
-
I guess it was silly to entertain hope that Jackson was going to miss out..
Bit surprised that Batch made the team but happy about it.
Thought Vlastuin was a lock tbh.
-
Bach bog :shh
-
Pretty ordinary team IMO, Carlton seem a much better unit on paper.
-
All the club talk seemed to point towards Floss getting his first game. A late change maybe?
-

Correct.
-
Just to change the mood and to add something a little more positive. Regardless of injuries, we can chuck up a number of names that can enter this side throughout the year: Foley, Grimes, Petterd, Stephenson, White, Vlastuin, Knights, Arnot. Think I've missed a couple but looks like we're finally batting past 22.

on paper Carlton by at least 6 goals. im now tipping carlton by 57. very disappointing r1 team imho.

All those players were here last season bar Stephenson (very average player), Picky.R (average player), Knights (struggles to get on the park and has struggled with form lately) and Tigger (first year player). I think our young players improvement will improve the depth more than some of our prize recruits. Post probably sounds negative but just trying to look at things both ways. Knights & Petterd could end up being decent recruits which would help. The Coach pays no attention to pre-season though ;D

And which inclusion would suddenly make us a 10 goal better side? Or are you trolling?

positive is that choco has enough giant coins left over to payout dimma's contract himself, can't wait for 2014, reckon we'll win the minor premiership under the big boss man
astute move tigres
-
Don't like it...very very surprised Vlastuin is not in, actually can't believe it, White, very stiff....
-

Awww geeeeee. Loves a minor premiership does Choc
-
Great to see good consistent pre-season form being rewarded....NOT
That's the disappointing thing for mine.
Disappointed Vlaustin isn't named, thought he'd done more than enough to warrant a debut. Just his decision making alone should've been enough over some others
Have concerns about Kingy; has he had enough game time leading into round 1 :huh
Not sold on Nahas either, he gives us 10-20 minute cameos and that's about it not what we need Tomorrow night IMHO
Oh well....

I was going to give the blokes like Vlastuin and Knights a different heading like 'optimistic unknowns' ;D but the list then seemed too slim so I just lumped them together. I guess I was tying to point out that the named team isn't bad and there still guys to come in, also blokes to cover a handful of injuries. Really agree that the improvement (if there is any) will come from the newbs. But realistically who are we likely to see this year besides Vlastuin, Elton and Arnot? I really hoping the immediate improvement comes from guys like Conca, Batchelor and Vickery to stand up so we can have 10'ish unarguably good players instead of just 4 or 5. Was going to add this in the original post but just CBF at the time but you called me out ;D
I just think now though that we have 27 or 28 actual players we can play every week (fitness pending).
-
The selectors have showed NO imagination. They have played it TOO safe.
How many times do the same names have to fail in the same game before someone actually decides they are NOT the future of the club!
I don't mind having them in the 40 as back ups but the names of McGuane et al are definitely NOT best 22 now at the club.
Hope two drop out for Vlastuin and Knights. :pray :pray :pray

Agreed. Cannot understand how both Nahas and King have been named. Disappointing.

Like King just recently said on 360, we've obviously gone for a settled side. And to kind of steal what MaClure said about Melbourne because it applies to everyone (Dunstall said something similar on Triple M this arvo), this is round 1 and it's not worth rushing back unfit and unready players including first years. Our youngest and least experienced heading in tomorrow night is Ellis, and with the hype and atmosphere surrounding the game I'm happy with that.
The team likely was selected ages ago and baring any stellar pre-season performances, these players were required just to stay fit and to 'go through the motions' leading up to round 1.
-
LOL Vlad sold the team lists to channel 7.
-
Knights a late change.
Secret weapon. :shh
.....but you didn't here it from me. ;D
-
Whose Griff gunna play on? Unless Rancer takes Walker?
-
lol what an ordinary team.
-
Am already visualising a couple of brain-fades resulting in 50 metre penalties courtesy of Mr Mcguane, i really hope he has had plenty of anger management counselling from the resident psycologist over the off season. Just cant afford to give the scum any easy metres tomorrow night. I suppose one saving grace is that these days he is up the other end of the ground.
-
would have to be the shortest carlton side i have ever seen picked against us reckon rowe or laidler will come into that team if not both.
-

And you are jumping up and down about this in 2013 ::)
Was the same last year
As part of the current broadcast agreement Ch7 paid extra for teams to be announced first

Understand the logic but what about Kingy, he's barely played so is he going to fit enough.
You could actually use the same argument regarding Chapplin, played a half against the Hawks and the full game IIRC against the Bullies - not exactly alot of match practice. But I supose the counter argument is Chaplin is a seasoned condition player :-\
Can I say the one that annoys me and it always does depsite knowing the answer is how does Jackson get a game? Poor decision even worse skill errors. If we've got as much depth as we kept getting told then why do we persist with the usual suspects?
-
Such a 2012 type side.
The club spruiked all our recruits all per season to only come up with this.
Would feel better if Vlaustin was named and even Petterd.
No imagination whatsoever.
I was optimistic up until I read that side.
If Vlaustin can't get Jako out of the side on footy ability and the selectors have not got the gonads to select him then how is the side going to improve in big games.
FFS :help

Yeah this confused me a bit too, only thing I could think of is that we think Nahas and King give us better foward line preasure to stop the Yarran etc. To me White should be ahead of Nahas based on the pre season.
Was it White last year that tagged Yarren right out of the game and also scored a goal.

OK. No new names to get excited about but this in itself is a positive for mine. As I have said elsewhere, I always thought that Vlaustin would struggle to push his way into our midfield based on its experience and strength atm. Has he shown enough consistency or form to pus our Ellis or Conca? Jackson makes mistakes but he is our best tagger and without him Murphy woul run riot.
Similarly McGuane provides a contest and with Vickery down on form we need someone with the experience, strength (not called Muscles for nothing!;)) and, dare I say it, form to make us less predictable up forward. McGuane can actually make a lead, stick and mark and kick a goal making the defenders accountable. Until Elton or A. Edwards steps up, we need him.
King is the barometer of the team. He will gives his all and get into the defenders heads early. He is a very under rated player for the role he does. Nahas does go missing but also sticks his head up regularly to break the lines and create scoring opportunities. Again, he can not be ignored.
Petterd would have played in Batch spot but pulled up sore.
This team is a solid team.
We will win the game with this team. :thumbsup
-
McGuane is called muscles for nothing and Murphy will get 25 and a couple of sausos on jacko
I'm just thankful that side doesn't contain Jayden Post

Just read on BF that Vlastuin not playing was a leadership group decision - they want him to earn his spot via coburg.. anyone know if there is any truth to this?

-
I don’t mind Maguane up forward. You would never rely on him to hold down a key post, but as a third tall I think he has something to offer. He is rangy and can take a plucky grab. Importantly, his defender’s mindset means that he scraps and harasses hard for a man of his size. He'l dob a couple i reckon.
-
Griffiths on the bench- I can't see how this is going to work. Rance very rarely leaves the ground. So who are they rotating him with, Chaplin only? Or are they going 4 talls in the forward line. It doesn't seem balanced. Are we sure about an extra tall on a greasy MCG?
McGuane- this selection should be a boost for his confidence, something that he lacks in his game. I hope it helps him turn those 2 goal games into 4 or 5.
-

rubbish. Otherwise how does Jackson get a game. Oh wait you said it was up to the leadership group... :banghead :banghead

Footy is finally back. Go you tigers
dimma is fos
picking players from now on who deserve it on form
bachelor has been poo all pre season, petterd is unlucky and should be in
jackson ffs should be out for vlaus
dimma is a wank

You can't not reward his NAB cup yet reward Edwards pathetic efforts
I expect a late change

Yes the wet weather suits their crumbers and stoppage type of play but the radar suggests it should be clear night. Might still be wet underfoot which will make the ball slippery initially. We need a few hours of dry to help get rid of the moisture on the ground :pray
Of those missing from last year, I feel we will feel the absence of Foley and Grimes but the last three missing are certainly not a loss
-

I think you are being harsh on Shane Edwards, he was good during the pre-season
The selected Edwards is Shane not Aaron ;D
-
Nahas is the lucky one, i'd bring Knighta in
I think Batch would have missed if Netty didn't throw his groin out wearing high heeled shoes
Flossy would have played if they had any stones and dropped Jacko
-
To be honest I can't believe some of the hysteria.
The are three changes to the team that blitzed Hawthorn in 2012
In... Chaplin, Mcguane and bachelor
Out.... Foley (who's injured anyway) Dea ( whipping boy) A.Maric ( sacked whipping boy)
And that game was played in the wet too.

Well mat, there's also very few changes from round one last year too mate and we all know that result!

But Tucker is it the 2012 side that convincingly beat the Hawks and Swans or the 2012 side that got done by Gold Coast? ;D

These are the only ones I agree with gerkin. Except for maybe Nahas at this point as Knights is fresh from coming back from injury and hasn't had a lot of minutes yet. Would bet that Nahas is in to play a role to keep Yarran deep too. The other names being thrown around are hysterical. Everyone else is either the best in their position or already covering an injured bloke. The rest got little to no minutes in the pre-season and would be no where near ready to play. Floss could be a stiff non-selection but I can deal with not chucking a first year player in the deep end first game.
-
White & Vlastuin, they have even said it on AFL 360, they said really this side from last year round one has not changed, poo if Newman plays in the back line what are we doing and where are we going????

Agree with White & Vlastuin. But I wouldn't take anything out of the way the teams actually listed.
-
The personnel may not have changed, but hopefully another preseason and an extra 15+ or so games into guys like Conca, Ellis, Batchelor etc will be a difference for the better. We can't just rely on getting new guys in, it's up to these sorts to keep stepping up.
Not trying to say it's a good side if anyone interprets it that way. Just trying to justify why the side is like it is. :thumbsup

I agree with you :thumbsup. I saw the complaining about the side in another thread before I saw the side and was expecting something terrible. But really only Petterd (injury) was missing from who I was expecting, although I thought Vlastuin deserved a game I never thought he'd get one and to a lesser degree White. But can you imagine the uproar if White got a game and not Nahas, people would be complaining about bringing in the same old spuds.

No I'm not taking much out of the listing, just saying that if Newman ends up where he played last year I am not sure what we are doing, particularly when he has been playing wing/forward all pre season.
With these players selected we can't afford passengers, we need 100% out of the players that usually on just get by..Jackson, Nahas, Ty, King and even Griff.....that's a lot of passengers for mine and Vlastuin and White would of removed two of them....
Anyway lets just hope!

Reckon he's had enough minutes with the VFL praccies and touched the ball 10 x more times than Nahas.

I'd take a 2 to 3 qtr cameo from Knights over a Nahas 20 minute cameo for this game

Can't argue with that, all I can guess us that Nahas and others were under instruction and only 'going through the motions' all pre-season to ensure they get their required game time and no injuries. With Knights emergency I reckon he's close enough that they're happy to have him in if required but would prefer to have him wait just one more week. Also trying to convince myself that Nahas is there to suck in Yarran. Could have played White in this role though. Reckon of Knights played instead they'd just put a token small back on him since he isn't as quick and Yarran would chop us up from half back.
Agree with the sentiment of you and WP though. I'll give him the benefit that I reckon he'll be a role player tonight, but needs to pull his finger out to stay in the team.

White & Vlastuin, they have even said it on AFL 360, they said really this side from last year round one has not changed, poo if Newman plays in the back line what are we doing and where are we going????
Agree with White & Vlastuin. But I wouldn't take anything out of the way the teams actually listed.
No I'm not taking much out of the listing, just saying that if Newman ends up where he played last year I am not sure what we are doing, particularly when he has been playing wing/forward all pre season.
Agreed especially he looked pretty sharp further up field. But was it Petterd setting him free and now with his injury his forced to go back again? Or does Batch take Petterds spot.

In the end we got the win so all's well that ends well.
Was great to see vickery have such a good game. Was not expecting that after his preseason, should gain a lot of confidence from that. If he can build on that he'll be right.
Also, that was probably the best tall fwd setup we've had for a while. Jack was moving all over the place and creating plenty of holes and confusion for Vicks and mcGuane played his role well too.
