Wouldn't pay too much attention here, If past history is any indication Paul Roos didn't give this preseason stuff any credo whatsoever when coaching Sydney
That excuse may wash when Melbourne get spanked in the NAB CHallenge. Wonder how long he can use it in the real stuff.  :shh :shh

My guess -

B:   Astbury     Chaplin       Morris
HB: Houli          Rance        Martin
C:   Deledio        Miles        Ellis
HF: Newman    Griffiths      Lennon
F:   Lloyd        Vickery       McBean
R:   Hampson  Vlastuin   Cotchin
Int/subs (from): McIntosh, Banfield, Batchelor, A.Edwards, S.Edwards, Foley, Gordon, Grigg, Helbig, McDonough, , Stephenson

I agree with you on the rotations MT. The players I most interested in seeing in McBean (like everyone else  ;D), Miles, Martin, Newman and Lloyd.  :thumbsup

Jack was on Gold104 this morning and said that he is really looking forward to seeing McBean play tomorrow night.

Mentioned the main reason he didn't play at the end of last year was he a "slight" stress fracture in the his foot  :huh3

So I think it is a lock that he will be playing tomorrow night

Jack also reckons he is a very exciting prospect and is going to be a very good player long term

If McBean wasn't injured last year he would have played against GWS.

This  :huh3 was for Jack saying it was a "slight" stress fracture  ;D

arnot has a broken back

Didn't know he was still out. I didn't see him on the richmondfc injury list so just assumed he's ok.

That's the problem when you are a scotch finger. Everyone wants to snap you in half.

Would like to see the C-D Grade players playing. With a few B Grade players.

B:    Helbig          Astbury      Morris
HB:  McIntosh     Rance         Batchelor
C:    Houli           Vlastuin      Ellis
HF:  Gordon        Griffiths      Lennon
F:    Lloyd           McBean      McDonough
R:   Stephenson   Miles         S.Edwards

I:    Hampson   Banfield    A.Edwards
       Foley        Grigg        Newman

S:   Martin & Vickery (Martin ---> Ellis, Vickery ---> Rance)

R:   Chaplin, Cotchin, Deledio

Hampson rotating with Stephenson, pushing forward.
Banfield rotating on the wings/half forward.
A.Edwards, forward pocket.
Grigg, wing.
Newman, half forward/forward pocket.
Foley, midfield.

Would like to see Griffiths/McBean stay forward with Vickery/Hampson/Stephenson rotating.
Lloyd/Gordon/Lennon/McDonough/Martin/A.Edwards/Newman/Banfield rotating forwards.
Houli/Vlastuin/Ellis/Foley/Helbig/Miles/Morris/S.Edwards/Grigg rotating midfield.
Batchelor/Astbury/McIntosh/Rance stay back.
