I'd be gob-smacked if Kennedy and Dow are the only two débutantes, I'd expect Garlett to also get a run assuming the injury reports are accurate.

Yep, agree. Especially with Pickett going down. I watched the replay (v Dawks JLT) again yesterday and wouldn't be surprised if O'Brien get a gig as well, especially with Cuningham being disappointing again (poor tackles, fades in and out and craps trou under pressure). He'd be a long shot though.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I won't be surprised if Mullett gets a run against Richmond, we need pace in the defensive 50 and he has it

Admittedly I've never watched him play, but comments on here suggest he's not really defensively minded.

From what i saw of him, he struggles to find a bloke wearing the same coloured jumper! No good being quick if you hand it back to the opposition.

I actually thought he was ok in the 2nd JLT game. I just think the way they score is with pace and pressure in the forward line, to combat that you need pace and smarts, we have the smarts but I'm not sure we have the pace

There's pace of player then there's pace of ball movement....i think the Tigers are more about the latter than the former....

He was OK in the 2nd game.
He was absolutely woeful in the first game.

I would be astonished if he does play.  His sum total of senior football over the last couple of years is 17 with the  Gold Coasters in 15 and 16, WAFL in 2017 and half a JLT game.  Not the greatest preparation for a high pressure Round 1 AFL clash.

i guess it comes down to how the Club rates him.

SPS played Rd 1 last year - with great success - without any JLT time?

That would be Carolyn; she organised a catch up at Darklands and I got to meet Cookie, Bluesgirl and someone else - whose name escapes me.

I remember that day! I think the other person was Age? It's amazing - would have sworn it was at the G?
