Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

I have just read todays AFL Fox report in the Melbourne HeraldSun.Longmire has said that "Bird,Jack.Barlow,Grundy and Moore" have all warranted a place in the first round team.He went on to say that their will be discussion on Bird and that Jack has come on quickly.
I say this week it be a "baptism of fire" for the new and inexperienced players as St Kilda is a hard drilled,strong,fast team(from what I have heard).It's gunna be a long week waiting for the first game.At least all our new boys played ressies together at various times last year and have had plenty of match practice together this pre-season.I still wonder what the go is with Jesse White?Comment

Young Swans likely to take on Saints | Daily Telegraph
"We go in on Saturday night with a newish looking team, up to five, including (former Adelaide wingman Martin) Mattner, up to five or six guys that haven't played a lot of footy for the Sydney Swans," coach Paul Roos said today.Comment

Well...that's exciting selection news. Brennan not mentioned, maybe he won't be in.
Fosdike, Ablett, Richards, Schmidt, Crouch and Everitt are injured, correct??
In which case Roosey can play kids and STILL not drop Bevo, Mathews, McVeigh or Bolton. Sheesh!
Here's the team, then
B - Paul Bevan - Leo Barry - Craig Bolton
HB - Tadhg Kennelly - Lewis Roberts-Thomson - Martin Mattner
C - Adam Goodes - Ben Mathews - Jarrad McVeigh
HF - Nick Davis - Barry Hall - Ryan O'Keefe
F - Jarred Moore - Michael O'Loughlin - Ed Barlow
R - Darren Jolly - Brett Kirk - Jude Bolton
I - Craig Bird - Amon Buchanan - Heath Grundy - Keiren Jack
Emerg - Peter Faulks - Jesse White - Ryan Brabazon"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

looks like LRT will be the backup ruckman so White and Grundy will have to fight for the 1 KPP spot.Official Driver Of The "Who Gives A @@@@ As The Player Will Get Delisted Anyway" Bandwagon.

If BLT will be doing the ruckwork, its a bit tough to list him at CHB too. Particularly if he's to play on Riewoldt.
Probably need to drop one of: Bird, Moore, Jack or Bevan to accommodate White so we have some sort of backup.
Dream on that Matthews will be excluded.He ate more cheese, than time allowedComment

Roos has been cautious in regards to selecting White, but he hasn't ruled him out. He also didn't rule Richards either in or out. Given that Richards is a tall defender who has rucked a bit in the past, I think White's inclusion may rest on whether they play Teddy or not. If they don't play Ted, they'll need another tall, and White looks like the only option. But if they do, White won't be needed as badly. If Richards doesn't play, either White or Barlow will play as a tall defender. If Richards does play, Barlow will play forward or in the midfield, and White will be an emergency.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

If I was a selector I would play Jesse White and Ted Richards.
Leave LRT in a key postion and use Jesse White and Ted Richards as back-up ruckmen. When not in the ruck Jesse could have short spells up forward and Teddy down back.
Would drop Ben Matthews for Jesse White and put Goodes in the Centre with Buchanan on the wing.Comment

My mail is Bird will play on the wing, maybe will match up on Schneider. Not sure about the others.The edge is not the limit, It's just the starting point...Comment

I think we can safely count those guys out of contention.
Edit: I just read that Richards played on the weekend, so nevermind that! (I wonder if he has enough pre-season credits?)
Will be a different side regardless.Comment
