Lucky I don't bet on footy  ;D.

You'll probably be proven right WAT on Sunday and Cogs will play. It's just that I think he'll look underdone and may struggle if he plays a full game of NAB Cup after missing so much footy over the past 2-3 years.

Youth on show for Freo's NAB Cup opener

FREMANTLE coach Mark Harvey is preparing to field a young side for this Sunday's NAB Cup clash with Richmond, with captain Matthew Pavlich unlikely to play.

Harvey said he was monitoring the Pavlich's workload, but would consider naming him as one of two nominated substitutes.

Des Headland (shin soreness) will also be missing from a Fremantle side that Harvey estimates has eight to ten players still fighting for full fitness.

Prized draft pick Stephen Hill will play, as will returning midfielder Paul Hasleby.

Chris Tarrant, Marcus Drum, Adam Campbell and Hayden Ballantyne are also set to miss the encounter.

Richmond have already declared Ben Cousins a non-starter for the game, but Harvey said he had a plan just in case the 238-game veteran did take to the field.

"If he does I might give a young player a job on him just to see how he's coping with the real AFL if you know what I mean," Harvey said.

I really think Cog's will line up MT, you have said all along that you don't think he will, do you know something we don't??
I've got Cogs as a sub. I just think watching him he isn't quite ready for a full game straight off the bat yet. There's plenty of time to build up his gametime so he's right and ready for round 1.

Totally agree MT, But maybe a roll off and on the bench will help him game time so he is ready for round one. I don't think they will play him the whole game.

Post and Nahas to play against Freo

From today's Herald-Sun:

The Tigers will take a strong line-up to Perth, with senior stars Matthew Richardson, Nathan Brown and Troy Simmonds all making the trip.

Despite the travel, Monaghan said the key trio didn't want to be rested. "They were pretty keen to have a run and we were pretty keen to field a reasonably strong side," he said.

Monaghan said Ben Cousins had pulled up well from his hitout in last week's intraclub match. "He just needs a little bit more conditioning. Our aim is to play him in Round 2 of the NAB Cup," he said

Kane Johnson, Trent Cotchin and Jordan McMahon will miss.

From today's Australian:

Richmond, which has not won a NAB Cup match under Wallace, will play newcomers Jayden Post and Robin Nahas against Fremantle. Post, who can play tall at either end of the ground, was the Tigers' second choice in last year's national draft, while former Port Melbourne small forward Nahas will start the year on the rookie list.

Others who will not play on Sunday include Ben Cousins, Kane Johnson, Jordan McMahon, Trent Cotchin and Jay Schulz. But Wallace said all bar Cotchin would be available for the start of the premiership.

Richmond won both its home-and-away matches against Fremantle last year, including a 64-point win over the Dockers at Subiaco Oval in round four.

I have been wondering about including him myself but I think I'll wait to hear if he is elevated before the season starts first....of course a fantastic display at this weeks game won't hurt either!

Don't think he'll be elevated as from the way Terry (or was it Wayne or Jade?) spoke last night Polly may be playing Coburg ressies sooner rather than later.
