Tambling's not there - that's good.  The kid wants to be at his peak for his first game.

I/C from: Graham, Hartigan, Pettifer, Roach, Raines, Stafford, Jackson

Reckon Graham, Hartigan, Staff and Jackson will play. I wouldn't mind Raines there though now that Tambling will miss.

lol @ Wallace waiting to let Tambo debut against the Hawks 

Hopefully Tuck will start in the square as listed.

lol, wallace is such a prik

lol, wallace is such a prik

Couldn't agree more...and so much better now that he's with us not against us.  Can't wait to see us hated again, instead of pitied and laughed at.

I/C from: Graham, Hartigan, Pettifer, Roach, Raines, Stafford, Jackson

I reckon the first 3, Graham, Hartigan and Pettifer will play. Pettifer actually deserves to play as he has been very good in the pre-season. Strange things happen when you play blokes in a position they seem suited too

Fourth spot would seem a toss up between Raines and Jackson IMO

[Bulluss]

Bench is Graham, Roach, Pettifer & Jackson

I am very surprised to see that Hartigan isnt playing, would have thought he would be the first chosen of those 7.

With the weather to be 24 and fine i am also surprised that we arent playing Staff and planning to try and play 3 talls up forward for most of the day. Richo, Staff, Simmonds and Brown could provide a fair handfull along with Krak and Cambo.

I cant wait for the game anyway!!

Seems Terry wants some pace to which he can rotate through the midfield and HB off the bench which isn't a bad idea against Geelong. Graham as a back-up defender. The Cats have gone for the same - 3 smalls and a pseudo tall Mackie on their bench.

Agree Bull. Bring it on!

Mooney is out so Harley will have to go with Richo again. Let's hope the big fella has got his kicking boots tomorrow as he let Harley off the hook last year after running him around in circles.

Hope our midfielders are on their game tomorrow and go in hard and first to the ball. Might be blind optimism but I have a good feeling about tomorrow if we can get the ball forward quickly and regularly. lol @ seeing Otto in defence on Richo if Harley gets the run around again  .
