No Cumberland?

^this.

Not named in the emergencies either. Did he pull up with something at training today?

Also a bit light on defensively. Would have included 1 more tall given Miller will need to have spells in the ruck.

[Simonator]

Like Miller in the side. Not sure why mansell is getting a game rd 1? Have I missed something ? No Cumberland is absolutely baffling. No word of him being injured…. Absolutely shocked

[Tiger Khosh]

Don’t think we should have picked graham coming off literally 0 match simulation all pre-season.

[georgies31]

No Cumberland your kidding me was our best small forward back half of the year Mansell instead no sense at all even Clarke  who was good preseason.I hope we're not getting to cute with our selection.

[lamington]

No need for Cummy. Cotchin will kick 6 

[JP Tiger]

No sub named?  When does that happen?  Does the sub have to come from the emergencies list or could we name anybody? 

[Assange Tiger 😎]

I wonder who could be replaced in that forward line with a more appropriate player

Will wait for some news on Cumberland before I bring out my pitchfork

Based on how it’s been since I can remember the rule being introduced. It’s announced with final teams like an hour before the game and has to be one of the emergencies listed.

[Tiger Khosh]

Cumbo named in the vfl practice game tomorrow so no injury there. Pretty baffling decision to pick both graham and mansell ahead of him. Prob a reaction to just how easily Melbourne were walking it out of our forward line in the praccy game. Brought graham and mansell in for extra tackling and pressure.

[WilliamPowell]

Shocked about Cumberland

But the rest makes sense to me

Clarke or Ross will be the sub I reckon

Reckon if you want forward pressure or are concerned about the last practice game that the logical choice isn’t dropping Cumberland.

Time will tell who actually plays forward tomorrow and how they go but I reckon the kid is stiff.
