27 man squad for Sunday...

[chammond]

From the Hun -

"Roos confirmed Hall, Stuart Maxfield, Brett Kirk, Nic Fosdike and Adam Schneider would play, probably at the expense of draftees Tim Schmidt, Josh Willoughby and Matthew Davis, all of whom had their first run in red and white against Essendon on Saturday."

Personally I would like to see Schmidt given a run.

I think maybe we should give Meiklejohn some slack for his youth - rucks can take time - would be a bonus if he developed..

I wonder if Roos is rotating players or they simply have niggles?

B: Heath James Andrew Schauble Jason Saddington
HB: Ben Fixter Craig Bolton Sean Dempster
C: Stuart Maxfield Nic Fosdike Jarrad McVeigh
HF: Adam Schneider Barry Hall Jarrad Sundqvist
F: Amon Buchanan Lewis Roberts-Thomson Nick Malceski
R: Adam Goodes Luke Ablett Brett Kirk

Int From:Paul Bevan Matthew Davis Daniel Hunt
Scott McGlone James Meiklejohn Nick Potter
Aaron Rogers Tim Schmidt Josh Willoughby.

I wouldnt have Stuey, Fosdike,Hall,Goodes or Schuable in the starting 18, if the whole point is to give the youngsters a go then they should be given a go, with the seniors drifting in when they need guidance.

Goodluck, hope you guys win.....would have liked to play you next week....but looks like you'll have to take on Geelong instead

As long as you win tomorrow that is (or 2day Sydney time)

That worries me slightly because I'm not sure I've ever seen him take a mark, certainly not in an even slightly contested situation. Last weekend I noticed several contests where he went up but didn't seem to have a clue how to position his body or hands, and never got close.

Hopefully it is just a confidence thing and it will soon "click" for him, but I reckon your CHB has to be able to catch the thing!

I agree Lizz, dosen't appear to look very confident in contested marks hopefully that will change. I still think he will be a very long project if hes to make a regular senior player.
