      Three first year players, two second years and two third years! Can't say we're not playing our youth.

        Ugg will have to work out our average team age this week, so that Horse can get it right!

          What I like is Lewy Taylor and Gray now not being shown any favours to play seniors, we're selecting debutants with an eye to the future in lieu of those fringe players. Will Gould can't be far off a debut either.

          How we set up this week will be interesting. Expect Witts to dominate, a much under rated ruckman

            That would be good. You know Kennedy and Heeney are out.

              Yes it is, very emotional.

              But also look at the team announcement video with Papley as the joker. Very funny!

                Didn't Longmire say in his presser in the week that Aliir trained on Saturday instead of playing and he did well.

                  I hope Stephens, Warner & Stoddard are given a block of games and not make judgment calls after just 1 match. Give them chance to learn from their mistakes and develop. This is the year to do it with our wretched injury list. I don't recall Stoddard playing successive games previously? Going by the scratch match report, Elijah, Wicks & Allir were stand outs. Horse mentioned in today's presser Sinclair was a chance to return this week, wasn't sure on McCartin & Reid still requires more run under his belt. No Mention of Brand. Here's my changes:

                  Out: Kennedy, Heeney, Clarke, Gray
                  In: Sinclair, Allir, Elijah Taylor, Wicks

                  Team:
                  B: Lloyd Rampe O'Riordan
                  HB: Hayward Allir Blakey
                  C: Cunningham Parker Florent
                  HF: Stephens Dawson E.Taylor
                  FF: Warner MacLean Papley

                  R: Sinclair Mills Rowbottom

                  Int: Hewitt, Stoddard, Wicks, Fox
                  I'm glad they didn't drop any of Stephens, Warner or Stoddard to help their development. Happy McCartin ended up being available over Wicks. McLean most likely rested as someone here had predicted after shouldering the big man workload almost solo. Expect to see him back in the side soon again to help out Sinclair in the ruck.

                    Wish McLean stayed in the side, but probably needs a rest as a young body thrown around in the ruck. Would of played Sinclair and McCartin as KPFs, with Sinclair to pinch hit with McLean.
                    Good to see young E. Taylor in the team

                      Agree , thought McLean would be included this week either to relieve in ruck or as key position forward with McCartin at full forward

                        From today's post:
                        - Aliir, Sinclair, Clarke, Blakey are in the starting squad
                        - Gray, McLean, Bell and Wicks are in the reserves

                        Not a guarantee, but can be an indication.
                        I've been trying to watch this for the past few weeks and agree that it seems to give you a look at our favoured team.

                              What I have always loved about those highlights is that he knows as soon as the ball leaves his boot that it's going through! He's a pure talent and really hope he can bring that and more to the next level!

                                ‘McCartin, who has missed three games due to concussion, needs to show on Friday he has recovered sufficiently from training in order to take his place in the 22.’

                                Undermanned Swans recall Aliir for GC clash Sydney defender has been handed an instant reprieve for match against the Suns.
