Yep, agree Blaisee.

Gus Graham not even training with them, looks like he's really been given the stick/

As our list improves and gains depth there's going to be a few more harsh calls you'd reckon. If a player drops in form for a week or two and someone else vying for their position steps up and excites then the player really only has himself to blame.

Gus is still young for a ruckman so he needs to get back on the horse and put his head down at training and with Coburg and put his name back in the coaches minds. His confidence may be down at the moment as he's struggling a bit to hold his marks.

God that looks noice, really noice.

Can't wait. Go Tiges

Would have Polo before Jackson, Tambling, Bowden, Raines, White & Edwards. Also probably Morton & Mcmahon but they both play specialist positions so I didnt include them.

[Stripes]

Spliting hairs here but I think Jackson will start on the field while Cousins may not.

I agree about Polo. He should get a game over Edwards or Raines. He is my bolter for the year

[Where have you been for the last 3 months!!! Cousins starts/quote]

Also i hope Rance plays, he has so much more to offer our side than a few others. Quick, aggressive, eager for the contest, good skills, and just wants to tackle and chase. I really like this kids attitude.

[mightytiges]

The crowd will want Benny to start. It'll be interesting whether we start Cuz on the bench and wait to bring him on later in the quarters when the pace starts to drop off as players tire or use him 5 mins on/off the bench from the start.

I would have Polo in too for his hardness at the footy and as a plan B for Judd but I think the coaching staff have him just outside the 22 at this stage. Edwards is probably the next iffy one after Polo, Rance and Collo. We'll find out for sure this time tomorrow.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Polo must be included in the 22. Must.
How much does he have to do?
Terry keep him out of the 22 at your peril.
Other than that the team looks well balanced.

[yellowandback]

Its Round 1 so I can say it, that team looks good on paper. Damn good.
If we get a couple of wins in the first month, I couldn't see a spot for Johnston or Cogs unless there was an injury.

[WilliamPowell]

I'd be playing Polo 

[richmondrules]

I like Edwards but I would play Polo before him.

[mat073]

Not much between Edwards and Polo .....I think Shane might be a little more polished around the goals .Polo wont have to wait long for his chance.
