Your R1 Team to Meet the Blooz

[jackstar is back again]

Jack Im assuming this is the team you want, not the team you think will play.

Why Edwards in front of Nason?

I have both playing. Edwards off half back, Nason on the bench.
Its the team that I think they will go with.
I dont beleive Roberts will play,maybe wrong, but i think they will go with 2 first gamers from Under 18 level , and with Farmer.
There vision would be to introduce new players as the season goes on.
Big ask to have 4-5 new players playing round 1, it wont happen

  I think i better go to bed

You dont think they will play polak?

NO !

[WA Tiger]

Surely though Jack, Roberts deserves more of a go based on his pre-season against players like Edwards and Polo, regardless of positions??

Read my earlier post.
They aint going to play 4 first gamers.
Roberts will play the following week or two..
Unless they dont play Nason, which they will.
You cannot use Roberts down back, so you must play Polo and Edwards.
Also if they play Connors, he can be pushed forward if need be as well.

Fair enough but really with the amount of new players to the club, playing 4 would not be unexpected IMO. I know Roberts can't play back but gee we need him forward don't we? With Thursty, Moore, McGuane, Newman, Connors and Farmer in the backline, Polo and Edwards may not be needed.

I am sure we will all be way of the mark anyway, we usually are....

Polak has to play otherwise we may have just left him on the Rookie list.

I'd be very surprised if he didn't play.

Not really, think that most will be nearly right , apart from 1 or 2 spots.

I wouldnt, he has had a touch in the practice matches.
They might go with Browne as an option in the ruck which would mean that Vickery and Simmonds would be marking option inside F 50, thus Polak wouldnt be needed, reality is he cant get a kick anyway for what I seen

Look I am normally crap and this but I will give it a go...

That makes sense Jack, but i cant see the club not playing him if they are going to elevate him. I get the impression that at this point of time, polak is the best person to provide a stay at home FF, from a structural point of view. Just the best witches hat to sit in that position as the whole team has the game plan drilled into them over and over

Ben cousins may not be available round 1.

They still don't know what is wrong with him, so no one knows when he will right to play.

[Fluffy Tiger]

Thats ok. I have missed Tambling anyway, so slot him in in Cousins spot. If they are bith available then connors heads to the bench and  take edwards out.

I think he will if can pull up ok over the next few days but if not maybe Thompson will come in.

Yeah I think we may both be on the money to some degree but there will be a couple of surprises IMO, there usually is, there will be a player selected neither of us thought about...
