Absolutely brilliant that there are no Tigers in the squad  :clapping

dont count your chickens - the article stopped at naming players at Port Adelaide (alphabetical order).

one-eyed:
But reigning Brownlow and Norm Smith Medallist Martin, who last month led Richmond to a drought-breaking AFL premiership, was a notable absentee from the 17-man squad announced on Thursday.

Coaching panel representative Luke Ball said the enigmatic Tigers midfielder was invited to play but opted out, as did West Coast wingman Andrew Gaff.

"He was sounded out and certainly expressed strong interest in the concept, as most players do," Ball said of Martin.

"In the end, he got back to us only last night and said 'look, the body needs a rest', and that's understandable with the season that he's had."
