    With Grundy, LRT and Bolton our 3 tall defenders, reckon we will see more of Richards up forward this year - especially to cover White and Bradshaw who aren't playing.

        I was beaten to it but it doesn't look to me like we're taking this NAB Cup any more seriously than previous years. A lot of kids getting a run to see how they go. But this year they know that if they shape up they'll be playing seniors in a few weeks. I wouldn't worry about the missing Barlow, Playfair etc. Maybe we know what they can do and how they are going and for balance sake they are playing the following week.

        I like the balance of senior players to guide the juniors. I hope this lot really are our indestructibles as there's a long season to go.

        It will be exciting to see how the kids go but you wouldn't be putting money on a win.

          But he is a lousy kick for goal or doesn't that matter?

            I'm sure Richards won't play forward. It was a running joke last year that he was named CHF every week and every week played up back. AT least this week he won't have Fev to stand in front of.

            Meet our new gun forward - the Pykester:

            With Jesse White (ankle) and Daniel Bradshaw (knee) unavailable, Daniel Currie and Mike Pyke will lend key-position support to Adam Goodes up forward.

                I want to win. I want to see us televised as much as possible.

                  I agree, I'm looking forward to watching some pre season games (hopefully more than 1) with so many new faces on board.
                  Could be a tough ask with out ROK, Bradshaw, Shaw, White, Mumford etc
                  BTW, does anyone know why Vespa isn't playing?

                    Heard Roos say on SEN this morning that Mumford had a bit of bruising and they would rest him. Nothing wrong with him and he is fit and well.

                      So after the most hyped summer ever...back to reality and a loss in the first week of the Ansett Cup.

                        His turnovers won't be so costly there at least.

                            Just read the selected players on
                            AFL - The official site of the Australian Football League - AFL.com.au
                            and am quite happy that I have no plans to go to Blacktown.Carlton is going in with a strong side and we are doing a fair bit of trialing.I have a strong feeling that this will be our first and only NAB Cup match this year.
                            I sincerely hope I'm wrong but we are giving some young blokes who are our future a run.Will be good to have a look at what they've they've got.

                              That would be a very conservative 22; not much of a change from last year; few 'kids', and not very exciting.

                              I hope we will see more changes than:

                              Currie for Hall
                              T L-D for O'Loughlin
                              Searby for Jolly

                                I meant that is a very conservative 18!

                                Extended bench will mean more trials and excitement
