Agree. No one is going to remember the result of the JLT. Result is irrelevant. Having a chance to look at different structures, giving exposure and opportunities to our depth players, and ensuring our best team is available for round 1 is priority.
I seem to remember that last year in the game at the SCG, when Rampe wasn't playing, Marsh lined up on Cameron and Reid ended up being moved back to cover as Marsh got flogged. I really hope that doesn't happen as it would be pointless. Better to leave Marsh to learn on whoever he's playing on.
We are suddenly very short of talls or players who play tall: Rampe, Reg, Aliir, Naismith, Tippett, Maibaum, Sinkers etc. Will be "interesting" to see how we go with a "more mobile" side.
Get a grip mate.
We lost to Geelong because Danger played a finals game for the ages, and their midfield got on top. Our backline wasn't too short, it just didnt have a player good enough to stay a rampant Danger on his day.
The pre season is not a time to try things wildly. That is what pre season and intra clubs are for. It is a time to refine, condition and fine tune. You may see something strange here and there, but it is not a free for all. The result means absolutely nothing.
Would you prefer to see Maibaum get a game, and Melican lose a conditioning opportunity? He has a chance to play in the NEAFL game if fit, like the rest of the list.
the coaches know who they want for round 1. This is more about deciding who will be in the final mix for r1. Great opportunity for Cameron to show us what he has
Are we even certain Rampe is not playing? He's listed on an extended interchange. I can't see any definitive report that he's out.
I'm looking forward to Cameron having a full game in the Ruck
On the AFL website Rampe is listed as out "rested".
What time is the NEAFL game and will any RWOer be there to provides result/details for those of us who are anchored interstate.
Starting in about 10 minutes!
Half-time in the NEAFL practice match against the Swans and we trail 5.4.34 to 5.5.35.

Great to see Rory Lobb and Aidan Corr in action for the first time this pre-season, while youngster Aiden Bonar has performed well.#NeverSurrender pic.twitter.com/BtGHPTQ355
Nothing from the Swans social media team.
Thanks Ugg (via GWS) for the update.
