I'd exchange Smedts for White and maybe Armfield for Cuningham....but otherwise I like it.
Cunningham showed abit when he came in last year, if he has a good preseason and performs well in the Preseason comp, I would reward him with a spot and get games into him. One thing I liked about him is that he is not overawed by a big occassion. Rnd 1 opening night is as big as it gets early in the season so I reckon he plays. Has a bit of c - - -  in him also which I like. I think Armfield (as much as I love the bloke) is surplus if the kids are up and running, and he knows this better than anyone.
Agree with White and Smedts, I just want experience and hardness in the rnd 1 side, White brings that.

B. Simpson, Rowe, Marchbank
HB. Docherty, Weitering, Plowman
C. Sumner, Cripps, Kerridge
HF. Thomas, Casboult, Gibbs
F. Sylvagni, C.Curnow, Wright
R. Kreuser, Murphy, E.Curnow


Res. Phillips, Smedts, Palmer, White.
Emerg. Cuningham, Lamb, Gorringe


I can't pick Harry.M yet as he hasn't fired a shot.
Smedts is in based on full fitness and his best Geelong form. ( we can only hope ).

I'm really hoping either ( or both ) Pickett or De Bois develop into a real goalsneak type.






















I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

This week should give us a pretty good indicator of what the rnd 1 team will be. On the showing so far picking the team is going to be a hard task:

B   Ciaran Sheehan   Sam Rowe   Lachie Plowman
         
HB   Sam Docherty   Caleb Marchbank   Kade Simpson
         
C   Zac Fisher   Patrick Cripps   Marc Murphy
         
HF   Jarrod Pickett   Levi Casboult   Jack Silvagni
         
F   Jacob Weitering   Charlie Curnow   Matthew Wright
         
R   Matthew Kreuzer   Ed Curnow   Bryce Gibbs
         
IC   Harrison Macreadie   Billie Smedts   David Cuningham
   Rhys Palmer      


You can't really pick McKay on what he's shown so far. That would be charity. I'd like SPS to be available. Lebois?
Kerridge / Thomas / White will probably play but bloody well shouldn't.

NFW as to Thomas getting a game round 1, need to show all on the list that places are earned, not gained by reputation.

Daisy has been the stand out WOG in two practice matches, bewildering if he is in contention for round 1.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

WOG = worst on ground

BTW I agree that we don't have enough southern Europeans on the list, all good Carlton sides had a few Perovic's, Jezza's, Marcou's, Bortotto's etc etc.

Even uncle Franch or Roonie Dee would be handy right now.

Yep agree but sadly with Kerridge until we have a better back up mid he plays. Disposal is shocking - can accumulate it but turns it over half the time and the other half just moves it onto a 50/50 contest.  

Reminds me of Robbo without the madness. Tommy Bell was better cause once in a while he could impact the score board. Says a bit about our midfield to think both of those players would most likely be in our starting 18 if we still had them.

Yep - spot on. At least Robbo and Bell provided some physical presence that we are now so sadly lacking. We would be the least 'feared' club in the AFL and we have no one that other teams really fear either physically or from a football sense. Cripps is the closest we've got, but we are so easy to contain on the outside and with no forward structure his good work inside can be pretty easily contained.

I think the side Jeza put up is pretty close. I like what Sheehan brings, but I reckon he will need to string some more full games together after such a long lay off before he's considered. If he was fit and ready I'd have him in for sure. I think Daisy will take his spot [as much as that pains me to say, but maybe Army?].

I also reckon Kerridge will be given first crack ahead of Fisher. I've liked what he has showed but not sure he is ready just yet on a couple of cameo's, and if you play both Silvagni and Pickett you are already pretty tight on midfield rotations. SPS will need to play a few games in the NB's before he is considered - you can't drop a 1st year draftee straight in with no games under his belt.

Claiming Jesaulenko as Southern European is like claiming Tim Finn's an Australian export.

x2..No Daisy though...he will be the most expensive player the NB's have ever had kicking the dew of the grass... ;)
Wonder if Weitering might play forward and play a negative role on Rance?....
